Diabetes, you are not invited to my pizza party.
In previous years when you were in game you could see some of the player stat grades when you were controlling them in the upper right hand corner. Is that gone now? I'm not seeing a setting for it.

THE END
I think they finally fixed the time out substitution glitch, where manual subs you apply through their byzantine timeout menu don't take until the next stoppage in play. They still need to fix the thing where points will add to the scoreboard before the shot actually goes in though.

For such a great game, there sure are some strange and unexpected issues.

My favorite cut scene is you sitting in the couch looking at your phone for about 10 seconds and then it either goes back to the game or into an unrelated cutscene.

There's one with the girlfriend that I don't understand she breaks up with you then you call Justice and say "it's done" with a huge smile. Then later I got a text from her acting like everything's cool.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
Anyone else find alley oops a bit too easy in MyCareer? Only on All-Star difficulty, but if you have a player on your team with the alley oop finisher badge it's very easy to take the ball, call them for a screen and then throw it up to them as they roll to the basket, you connect at least 90% of the time and they rarely miss the dunk/layup if they have the badge. Once my PG got the lob city passer badge it's almost an automatic basket every time, I am making like 6 or 7 oop assists per game regularly to Boogie Cousins or Rudy Gay.

I'd find alley oops easier if I could ever get my big men to roll to the basket and not just stop at the free throw or backpedal out beyond the three point line when the lane opens up

yeah they just get stopped by some midget and then start and stop 4-5 times before finally getting kinda close to the basket and then they are covered

Really? Like what?

I am a little underwhelmed on the gameplay stuff (I think 2K is starting to slide down the Madden slide of "half-assing releases"), but nothing seems majorly broken or anything.

I'd say it's the mountain of minor things that have built up over the years. At it's core the game is great, it's fun, engaging, and overall a pretty stellar Basketball Sim.

Once you get deeper into the gameplay and game though, there are things that are just becoming so glaringly bad, that it's a wonder if the 2K team plays their game past a casual player's threshold.

I can only speak to All-Star Team Up Online gameplay, as my pro is still weak, and I've only done 2 pro-am games. Though in those, I was privy to some of the things people complain about there.

In All-Star Team Up though, here's my small list of things that have needed to be addressed for generations of 2K:

- Punish quitters, the only mechanic is that after a few quits it'll inform you that "You suck at life," but after a few hours that message goes away and you're free to quit after bricking your first 9 shots as Curry.
- Connection issues, it's 2016 and I'm wired to my router AND live in a major metropolis, any reason 2 out of 5 games are riddled with delayed gaming and stuttering?
- Moving screens, still.
- Timeouts, the loving timeouts
- Vote kicking, why the hell can't a majority kick a lovely person?

I hate complaining about games, and I'm glad I bought the game. I'll buy it again next year, too. And I'll still play thousands of All-Star Team Ups.

Yesterday i noticed some weird things in MyCareer. I'm playing as a 6'6 SF/SG in PHO, we played against NO.

- For some reason i'm guarding AD. All the time. kept him 12/30 shooting, but did not particularly like getting shat on for "allowing offensive rebounds"
- The help defense is a nice concept, but hey PG smaller than me: gently caress off back to the perimeter where the guy you are leaving alone to "help me" is raining threes and killing us.
- Tried to get cute with steals too many times, i fouled out 1:44 to go, we were down by 4 or 6. Apparently the best coaching move when your #1 goes out is to throw the #2 (Justice) to the bench too! In fact, i think the coach took out the whole lineup?

I also like the tweets after the game telling how [#1 ovr player] of the opponent was just too much for you, especially when my D kept his shooting% poo poo and you went 32pts on 12/18 shooting (8/10 3pt) 8ass, 9reb etc.

Jump shot releases that I have used and liked: 25 and 27, I would use these for 1-3. Release 116 is super wet for bigger guys, I use it on my athletic finisher and he can wide open 3s and my stats are in the 40s for the 3.

27 I think is a very JR Smith-type release. So naturally my shot creator PG has it. When you get a green release you feel amazing and it looks great.

This game sometimes... I'm on the Nuggets, I'm a point guard. i'm 79 overall, and I don't get many minutes I'm still on the bench. However, I just played a game against the Bulls where I knew I would be able to succeed because of Rondo. So going into the final seconds, final possession, we're down by three and I'm able to dunk and get it to be down by one. So is rondo takes the ball up I know I could pressure him and get it back which I do. But because 2K loving sucks I'm not able to pick up the ball and keep running. So I pass it to my man Justice Young, because I know he'll make it.

He passes on the wide-open three. And as I'm screaming at my TV I get the board. I mash shoot and score, but not before time expired. And to make matters worse my player didn't know that it wasn't before time expired and he was celebrating with the bulls. He was chest bumping Rondo Wade and Butler.

Is there anywhere where you can see what Cities/team names (if any outside of the 10 examples) will be said by announcers and poo poo during games? Will any?

Like, if I make a CUSTOM team and make the city "Seattle" will they call it Seattle?

Are there generic "like a billion people will name their teams this" team names that the announcers will say if you make your custom franchise?

I'm really irritated at this game and being unable to find sliders that feel accurate or like, "even".

Compared to previous years, shot timing seems ridiculously finicky. I'm not even sure it's possible to score on a shot that's not perfectly timed on All-Star and harder. I can get the entire bar to look white, no blue shown, but apparently it's not perfect timed because it's not green, and then -CLANK-. Steph Curry, open corner, no blue on the shot bar, little red circle over the dude, currently on fire? If it ain't green, he's missing. Flipside, you slide it any lower than All-Star in difficulty and you can just walk over everyone with a team of 50-rated dudes. All other years I could through trial and error get it to a nice, 50/50 where I could have close games with the CPU. Now everything is a blowout one way or another and I hate it.

If you start a myleague or mygm with a standard team and then choose relocate it will show you all the "named" cities that you can use. I have a team from Vancouver which comes up but there is a lot of others.
