I have never played online, outside of like 1 game. I sometimes wonder why I don't just make an offline account instead because of that.

Okay, this has probably been complained a billion times, but it is absurd that the game continues on the floor when those stat thingies comes up. I've given up completely open lay-ups because a "Top 5 SG" stat fills the screen while my opponent is bringing up the ball.

its incredible how many point guards i see that get inbounded the ball and then run to the arc and try to drain a 3

i will say this, its made me up my rebounding game a bit. im having a hard getting my shot timing down with the latency. i assume my ping is good but its definitely different shooting in multiplay than single

E: wrt passing. I swear i've never yelled at my TV more than with this game. first off i think passing and getting assists is fun, and the game rewards you for it, and it just works better. ah well, i'm probably preaching to the choir.

God drat why do I keep playing this awful game.


The latest (maybe a few months old at this point) patch really turned online into a 3 point contest and did nothing to stop people running back and forth becoming impossible to guard. Not to mention how online play feels really laggy all the time for me, talking .25 second delays in a game where acceleration and momentum are already tough to overcome offline.

Blaarghgahagh I just want to play some sim ball not against the CPU and not scream at my TV

Yeah pretty much. Honestly I enjoyed that period more than when I became a ~*superstar*~ and started being forced to play 40+ minutes a game and the only one trying to score or do anything on my team.

Oooh, didn't know about that. 500 + the bonuses/day is nice. It's gotten a bit better, I just had a 15 point/4 assist/4 turnover (stupid lobs) game...close loss. I wish you could skip through so much of the little scenes while you're not playing. I also wish I had made my PG taller :(

Decided to fire up a quick game of the Blazers vs Grizzlies for retaliatory reasons. I was excited to see that in their current roster Wesley Matthews is back! Well, my excitement was short lived. Both of these happened in the same quarter

They really need to work on the teammate AI and let the coach pull you out of the game when you already have 50 points and are up by 20+. They pull the other stars so the logic is there, they just need to apply it to your player as well.

And maybe while they're at it, make it so that the other team doesn't go from 20 points down to 14 points up over the course of you not being on the floor.

Last year you could set the sim length, they took it out for this gen for some reason.

My one hope this year is that they flesh out the My Team mode. I'd like more offline challenges similar to Madden's with no lineup restrictions, whats the point having a killer team when half the time you can only use them online? I don't play online anymore because it's an exploit ridden mess.

Also I know packs are a gamble but they need to give you more bang for your buck, paying nearly 10k for a pack just to get a silver player is inexcusable.

I also don't like how they did free agency in mycareer. You're not allowed to look at the roster when deciding, and only after your 2nd contract do you get input on players, and then those are automatically on your team for some reason. I miss last year when you could request teammates traded and getting the ball more.

Speaking of, they had a thing on their twitter in game where you could tweet at players to make a big 3 like the heat did. Did they flesh that out or was it all fluff?

In my many hours, it does nothing. I constantly badger Aldridge to join the Rockets but nada. It was only on my third team did I finally get input and those players automatically join the roster.

I'm in the mood for a new sports game and I'm thinking NBA is gonna be it. When I play Madden I'm all about franchise modes and team building over time. I've never had a game with a MyCareer kind of thing but it looks pretty fun from what I've seen. If I only care about single player is it worth dropping the extra money on 2k15 or is 2k14 as good in those regards?

Depends on the platform you use. If PC or Next-Gen, then 2k15 is def worth it.

Yep, PC. I'm not a huge basketball fan these days so an upgraded roster probably isn't something I'll even be aware of. But if the Career/Franchise is that much better I'll plunk the bux.
