Anyone's myplayer not deep into the uncanny valley? The actual players are OK but my guy has a bad case of corpse eyes/mouth.

In the player creator the uncanny valley is well in effect, but then once I look at my player card my player looks like he was just caught smuggling moonshine.

I've got to say though that without a face scan I was able to make a player who looks almost EXACTLY like me...if I was 6'1' 180lbs.

does anyone else have issues with the coach ai not actually subbing people at all in mygm? i tried it on 6 minunte quarters and it seemed like it was using my rotations by minute and not scaled down. i went to 12 minute quarters and it still didnt really ever sub anyone. yes i checked like 20 times to make sure ai rotations were on, as are timeouts.

Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



Playing a stretch C in my career almost seems like cheating.

These are my stats on All star difficulty through 11 games:



As long as you play around with height/weight/wingspan to get him to have good speed for the position, while still keeping good length, it is crazy unfair. Most opposing centers are too slow to catch up with you sprinting down the court on a turnover or rebound and if they do, the corner 3 is almost always open since the AI would rather have them guard the paint on a fast break.

Obviously, staying on the perimeter also takes a team's rebounder/interior defender out of the play opening up the paint for your teammates. Since the speed should be high compared to other centers, it's also easy to sprint in and crash the boards on a teammate's misses for the offensive rebound and second chance points.

23 three point shooting? What's your overall rating?

I'm putting up regular double doubles with my 70 rated playmaker PG on All Star, might be time to step up the difficulty. Once Justice Young turns into a cross between Klay and Kawhi in a 6'3" package it becomes stupid easily to rack up assists by just passing to him pretty much whenever he's remotely open.

My overall rating right now is 82. If I bring my 3 point shooting rating to its max 25, it gives me a 92 rating in open shot three pointers and contested shot three pointers.

Two AI quirks are that are back and I still can't tell if that's a game thing or a roster thing:
-Players taking a stepback jumper on wide open shots for no reason.
-Opposing shooters constantly being wide open because justice starts double teaming across the court for no reason and that leaves his man all the daylight.

So really enjoying the bugs this year. My favorite was a 2 on 2 practice in the weird rookie-issued airplane hanger and Denver randomly picked up a 2nd ball that was rolling around. So both he and I were dribbling but only I was guarded. I couldn't pass to him and he just kept dribbling around even when the other team got the rebound. They finally scored and he dropped it.

Like, maybe learn the basic rules of the game if you want to get off the bench, Denver.

Denver destroyed me 5-0 in practice and then got cut. Gameplay wise he shot like 45 on 3s so I'm just going to chalk that up to danny ainge being crazy as usual.

Sidenote, the justice trade storyline makes so much more sense when you're on the celtics.

Yes. He gets sent to the D-League and he will eventually get a 10 day contract and then you have the option of talking to the coach after that to put in a good word for him, or ignore it and let him get cut again.

On the technical side, everything has been fine. In earlier sessions loading would get 'stuck' but not really stuck, I had to click the mouse and it would finish loading which was really weird. Haven't come across it since.

I play using a 360 controller with a wireless receiver.

It's stable, it loads a lot faster than last year, it's all around really good.

And they actually stored enough data serverside that cheating is a lot more difficult than it was in previous years. So basically its only flaws are shared by those on the other two systems. We'll get patches later than Xbox and PS4 but that's about it.

The only PC-related complaint I have is that the current Pro-AM system doesn't lend itself well to how people were playing Pro-AM games on PC: setting up steam groups, doing captain's draft and queuing up two teams at the same time. It'd be really great if they added in support to play friendly matches between two teams, or just add a captain's draft mode that you can invite friends to.
