I hope EA continues to make Live just for the guys that wander in here every six months to proclaim it the better basketball game.Metapod posted:What's funny is golden state is the living embodiment of 2k online Two thirds of the guys I play online this year attempt like one shot from behind the arc per quarter. Also I'd loving love an option where you can specify which teams you don't want to be matched up with. Playing nobody but the Warriors, Cavs, Rockets or Thunder for weeks at a time gets really old.

I don't post in here because I'm terrible at this game, but lol at using NBA live as an example of anything besides what a loving mess EA sports games are. 2k has complicated controls because it has to try and emulate all the different things that a basketball player has to do with their body during a game; while also having to act as your own coach making adjustments and such on the fly. The game is awesome to play and incredibly intricate because the devs give a poo poo about their product, unlike EA.

I was semi-enjoying 2k16 but just noticed that the online play requires continually re-upping player contracts. What a dumb system; the last thing I want is stupid micromanaging. Please, get rid of all the bloat like halftime shows and whatever is creating insane load times for simple games.

There are other online game modes too, myTeam is specific in that you build a team that has upkeep. Totally agreed on a "stop wasting my time" option to remove fluff.

What the gently caress is up with GM promises. Eric Gordon comes in, upset he isn't getting enough minutes. (He's starting.) Whatever, I will give him more minutes. So now I have to give him more than 15 minutes even though right now he is at 28. This is a few weeks after Anthony Davis complained his training intensity was too low (it is very high and my team's overall intensity is very high). And that was a few weeks after Ajinca got pissed pissed because I promised to lower his intensity (I did) and he claims I didn't do it. Whatever, I promised to do it again, and I failed again even though I lowered it a second time. Are the promises just broke as poo poo?

Finally getting the hang of mycareer. Ever since getting drafted I've been playing like poo poo in the NBA but I finally figured out how to get a decent rating: just don't shoot. Pass it constantly and get assists. Couple games of doing this and I'm the starting PG for the Rockets! Question though, what's the best way to level my player up quickly? I'm getting around 500 VC a game on pro. Should I max my quarter length? zeldadude fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Pass it constantly and get assists. IIRC you want to max the difficulty as much as your sanity can take. Then max the quarter length and play until halftime and hope one team has a 10 pt advantage so you can sim through the rest of the game while still earning VC. If you want Free VC you can use their mobile app for a daily bonus, and also watch the 2k TV episodes which has trivia questions.

I have found that the easiest way to get VC early in in your career when your stats are poo poo is to play at Hall of Fame difficulty, go in your first FA to the Knicks (who are terrible enough that you will get good playing time with them) and when in possession just constantly run pick and roll with Carmelo and rack up tons of assists, then when you're off the ball set screens for Carmelo wherever he is on the floor. Unfortunately it does mean you have to play for the Knicks.

The game desperately needs a tutorial for people new to the series. There was a good one a few years ago apparently but now it's a few players telling you things that you may or may not know how to execute without covering a lot of basics. I don't really know about how well it simulates basketball -- pretty well, although I know people complain that the player models are too big and the court gets too crowded, especially in Pro-AM. At the same time as a video game it can be really satisfying to play in on-line play. With 2K trying to turn this into an esport, the good news means hopefully more balance patches and more cheat detection, both the series desperately needs.

Yeah I had to watch a ton of videos, I've probably never worked harder to learn how to play a game but it paid off and now I have a ton of fun. What's the difference between arcade and simulation and how much of a difficulty bump is it?

Man the microwave badge sure is a bitch to get. It would help so much if I could see my progress towards it somewhere, like how many games in a row I've been on fire. Any tips for getting this badge as a PG? I'm playing on rookie casual just to get this loving thing but every time I'm heating up about to be on fire they call a time out and welp, not on fire anymore. Very frustrating. I also feel like I really hosed up making my character 6'3" after playing some mypark yesterday. Seems like outside centers are very popular, maybe I should've gone that route

I think whether a player thinks training is too hard or soft is influenced by stamina and how many minutes they play in the actual games and maybe also the kind of coaches you have on staff? You can adjust individual training regimens for players and also specify the things you want them to work on.

MyGM is objectively good but virtually unplayable solely because of those player and coach meetings. Why do I have to stop simming to adjust my game plan every game? Why are my players such whiny bitches when it comes to practices? Where's that guy that posts here that works for 2k because I'd love for him to explain which dipshit thought any of that would be a fun experience for the gamer.

If you don't give a poo poo about team chemistry it's pretty easy (or at least it used to be, I haven't played myGM much this year) to just keep trading role players for picks, then before the All-Star break you trade a bunch of picks for one or more of the shittiest teams' pick. The "search for trades" option is super useful for this but you can also just keep fiddling with random trades. Basically just keep checking for what the AI will give you for your role players / bench warmers / unhappy players every few games and you'll amass a shitload of picks in no time, unless they fixed the AI this year (they probably haven't).

Traded Mirotic Shumpert and some picks for Karl Anthony Towns My fantasy draft GM team is DAR, Devin Booker, Andrew Wiggins, Kristaps Porzingis, and Karl Anthony Towns. Essentially exploit the gently caress out of potential and youth.

Started a new MyGM game and the computer did me a huge favor. A few games into the first season they offered me a trade of Kristaps and some scrap person for CJ McCollum. I took it and then proceeded to trade off a few extra pieces. Ended up in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Went after Demar Derozan in the off season and now my starting 5 is: Lillard Derozan Aminu Porzingis Ed Davis Jordan Clarkson, Allen Crabbe, Evan Turner, and Plumlee are the main backups. Blazers are suddenly looking real strong.

As cool as being able to relocate a team is (although is broken and dumb as gently caress too) I'll gladly trade a feature like that just to have the sim run smoothly and quickly. If you want to have a version of MyGM that is painstaking and day by day, that's fine and I would totally be into that, but I would also like the option to fly through full seasons.
