If you get a chance, have him hand you a basketball and make sure both your hands are on it before he lets go.

e: the mobile app season mode is stupidly addictive for me; I won't be playing that to win again with the finals starting in the small hours.

I stole a Finals Championship this week on the mobile app due to the series kicking off at 1AM. Other guy must have been a productive member of society or something because he didn't log to change his lineup after he won the first game. I had the secret weapon of a crying baby waking me up in the night to make sure my guys were rotated in fresh.

Did some locker codes just get released? I saw a few online that were supposedly from yesterday, but they already said they were expired. Do they really expire that quickly?

I thought you could do it regardless, you'll just do an awkward alley-oop-layup that isn't as much of a sure thing, though I haven't played as low-athleticism players, only thrown oops to low-athleticism players.

Huh, it's the same button combo (LT+X?) as throwing one right? I always get drives towards the basket and nothing happens when I press it.

Googling around it may be tied to your hands+layup rating if you aren't a dunker. Basically, you can throw one to anyone but if you seem like you'd be a crappy guy to get one tossed to you the CPU will ignore your call like a putz. I think its situational and not just a check on your stats.

I wish they could program it to have real reactions if you did something like that. Maybe make it so it only happens if you pull that off on a super hard difficulty that way not everyone and their mother is getting the same reaction.

Does the game do anything special if you win a poo poo load of games in a row? Like what the hawks did in January.

That would probably be the actual best game in history if 2K did something like that. They build an actual great NBA game and then just go nuts with it

i just wished that they didn't force you to "practice"

it doesn't give you any vc and it doesn't have any gimmicks or anything interesting to it, other than the assistant coach berating you for not accomplishing some arbitrary goal. i remember practicing including around the world and post practice which was kind of fun, due to the fact that at least it was novel, but now i have to play a stupid 6 minute scrimmage every 5 games for no vc or reason.

LT + Square is how you call for an oops pass on PS4. I have a Blake Griffin esque power forward and that is a go to. It takes about 8 games with 1 oop a game to go the allyoop finisher badge.

Hitting square is crucial for me in finishing oops. I have maxed out athleticism and as long as I time hitting square with catching the ball it's a done deal.


I also don't echo the sentiments on the park. Played over 500 games there and you just have to figure out how to play defense/take good shots. Almost 100 games over 500 and am nearing that legend level.

The point is that no one is going to pass you the ball really until you hit that All-Star 1 level which in reality is kind of the same as gaining respect in a real park like the one they're depicting. It sucks, but grinding it out to get the ball is a very real thing. No one passed me the ball for a while so I did what I do in real basketball when i'm not getting the ball. I stayed around the rim, rebounded, and got easy layups. After a while you earn your keep and people start to respect that.

It used to pull up stats and fatigue and served as a heat check too, 2K really stripped down the dpad menu for some reason

you're supposed to give the rear end in a top hat responses.

It had to do with who could do the voice-sessions and which ones were worth putting in the game. Given how bad some of them are, the ones they decided not to use were probably horrific/hilarious.
