Is MyPark still 95% dudes never ever passing, walking back and forth between two spots and jacking terrible 3s all day?

I've only played 4 online games so far but goddamnit, so many dumb turnovers due to the new passing buttons.

Tae posted:Is it because the other moves are just more fun? My only real complaint is that you can't see what the other guy is prepping anymore, including jersey choices. Landing in a game where both guys wear black alternates is dumb. The Kings are pretty good if you want to move up quickly, I've run people off the court the last 3 games with Collison / Belinelli / McLemore / Gay / Boogie and you get a bonus win / cash if you beat the better teams. Still loving up so many fast breaks and post-ups.

Why Trailblazers, you'd like to trade me Old Man Sabonis for Mo Speights? Sounds good to me! He owns in this and I'm glad to finally have him in my video games. Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Sep 30, 2015 |

Is there anything I have to turn off so Klay Thompson doesn't get matched up against Lebron, Durant or Tony Parker every time, even if I specify who guards who at the start of the game? It's hella annoying.

Yeah, but I still want Iggy on Lebron or Durant, and that's like 90% of the teams you play online.

I think that was it, thanks. My new online team is the Pistons, they're tier 3 but Reggie Jackson is a goddamn monster in this game. Does anyone know when you start unlocking classic teams? I'm on Junior College right now. Also just played my first game this year against a guy whose strategy was bombing 60% of his shots from behind the arc. That was sad. I guess changing the online sliders to superstar sim was meant to weed out these guys but 2K went way overboard. Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Oct 6, 2015 |

Oh no, he made about two of them. There were tons of guys online doing Steph Curry impressions the last two years but this year 3-pointers are way harder and finishing at the rim is way easier.

How do you unlock classic teams for online mode? I've encountered both the Iverson 76ers and the 80s Lakers so far and they're ridiculous to play against. edit: Oh, I made it up to NBA (7th tier, I think) and there they all are.

Man, the post-patch spin move is the worst. I was slicing defenses up left and right with that thing before, now I get the stumble / off-balance animation 9 out of 10 times. Also the new stamina drain in online play is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure some NBA players are capable of playing a whole quarter without needing an oxygen tent. At least they fixed the jersey colors selection so I don't have to play games between the same teams wearing the same colours anymore.

I only started playing mypark a few days ago, did they change the way levelling up works? I can't get past the first shirt rep. I thought it was all teammate grade based but then it takes away from the slider even though I got a B+ or whatever.

You know what sucks about the new "get more points if you beat the Warriors with the Timberwolves or whatever" thing in online play? Every time I actually do manage to beat a good team with a lovely team, said team quits before it's over and I don't get the bonus. Every, single, time. Bunch of loving babies.

tadashi posted:I have a dumb question about roster updates since I usually don't play sports games on release: as the roster updates happen, do they overwrite the player skills for the start of new seasons, too? If player x's shot is off this season or they're just not moving the ball they way they did last year but they're normally pretty good at these things, how bad would that hurt their ratings normally?

Playing against people whose only trick is trying to bait you into shooting fouls with weird timing and pump fakes is my favorite thing in the world. I am fuelled by their ragequit tears. Also I finally made it to GOAT tier in online play and the amount of guys you meet in the upper tiers who still haven't discovered that there's an intentional foul button is hilarious.

Controlling a player off the ball is good when you're playing someone online who only dribbles down the court and tries to drive on you non-stop. Also when someone stops at the top of the key and stands still for five seconds while they're waiting for the play they just entered to progress. Otherwise, stick with on-ball defense for now and try to get the hang of it, get used to switching between crowding someone with L2, using right stick to contest and anticipating where they'll go next with normal movement or little turbo bursts. Don't bite on pump fakes. Also you have to hold R2 for dunks and it's not an automatic thing if you don't have a free path to the basket. Seltzer posted:Most people want the players with the highest speed and three stats and forget about the rest. My last piece of advice is switch to the 2k cam right now in game. It's another thing you want to get used to early it makes offense and defense much easier and I don't think anyone good at the game uses the standard camera.

Just don't play story mode for the first two weeks or so then? If you stick to anything that isn't myteam (which has its own currency), getting enough cash to make your player at least decent when he comes out of college doesn't take that long.

also you can call for help / double with L1Hijo Del Helmsley posted:My offense is also hot garbage. The only points I can make are threes, because that's just timing. I try and rush, I get locked down. I try and pass, even to someone wide open, AI dives in and intercepts. - hold square + direction of the guy you want to cut without the ball, release button to pass - similarly, hold circle to have someone get the ball from you Just keep the ball moving and you'll get an open shot eventually. If you hold it a lot your other guys won't move much, if you keep it moving you'll notice more people doing cuts and stuff on their own. If you have good wing / big passers go for quick outlets (like from inbounds to half-court) and rush it in transition, this should be pretty foolproof on rookie. d-pad left has four standard quick plays (tell a shooter to get open, tell someone to cut, post someone up or call a quick iso for whoever's handling the ball). These probably won't be that useful to you right now but are worth checking out eventually.

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.

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).
