What do i have to do?

[GMF]

To play realistic games online????

NBA 2k is a great sim but online is the worst game i have played because the way 90% and more of the players treat this game. The abuse is evrywhere from the steals to using one player only to try to win offensive fouls all the time.
Is it so important to win? Not for me i want to have fun playing and it seems it can't achieved online. Last game i played the opponent gets the Mavs inserts Carter as the pg and plays only with him doesn't even pass the ball....

If I play a ranked match, I'm playin to win. Durant will play at my point and he will shoot around 60-70% of my shots. That's just because I know it's going to happen to me, and I hate losing.

I wouldn't consider this cheesing, but ^ is cheesing. Everybody knows everybody can win with the thunder, bulls, heat, and lakers. I would like to see you try to win a game with the bobcats unc_kobw. I play as a solid team but not a super team, like the Hawks or the Nuggets. I was down by 20 as the hawks to the thunder and I cut it to 15 and the opponent sticks in Durant and Westbrook and they ran the score up so it was a 40 point win. It is so F*cking annoying. its also bad sportsmanship.

One of the main reasons I stopped playing online.

There is no punishment for players playing out of position. KD shouldn't be able to dribble around or guard 85% of PG's.

The thing to do against these players who play Durant/Kobe/Lebron at point (kind of silly for Durant, since Westbrook is one of the top points in the league) is just go into your defensive settings menu and cross-match your defense.

It takes about 5 seconds. Have your top wing defender guard the "point guard" and have your point guard defend the weakest or smallest scorer in his lineup.

Some Lakers user just did this to me last night, putting Kobe at point so that he could get Christian Eyenga and Matt Barnes into his lineup. I just set Bradley or Allen to defend Bryant, Rondo to defend Eyenga; problem solved. He lost.

The worst-conceived attempt at this tactic I ever saw was when some Knick user tried to use JR Smith as his point guard. He got 5 fouls in the first half trying to guard Rondo. That guy lost too.

I play a 1-3-1 zone with him on the point because he is so long. If I was able to assign spots on defense, he wouldnt play PG. He would still be at the top of my zone though. And so you are saying Durant can't handle the ball? If anything it should be impossible for a PG to guard Durant because of a height disadvantage. He can handle the ball fine, a T.O. here and there happens, but he wouldn't get stripped in real life very often either.

There's no such thing as sportsmanship online. 80% of players don't care how they play, so long as they win, NB2K12 is no exception. Online is a complete joke, unless you play against trusted friends, then you're in for a world of hurt. There's no such thing as 'realistic' play to most people, they just want to see Durant/James/Griffin dunk over 4 people and jack up 40 treys per game whilst never letting up on the turbo button, running around like a rabbit with a poker up its backside.

Stick to offline with slider tweaks, you'll get a much more realistic game. Even the lowest difficulty setting ai has more of a skill set than most cheesers online.

Untill 2K can bring back lobbies, online will be utter bullshizz.

Yeap sadly that the way it is...And most people get the same teams all the time (Heat, Thunder, Celtics) no matter what team you get. I like playing with teams like the T-Wolves, the Sixers, the Jazz but it's unfair when you have to play vs the Heat or the Thunder. Fifa got it right with the head to head seasons mode where you get ie a 4 star teams and you play against other 4 star teams not the usual suspects Real, Barcelona and City....
