    Not that I know of, I've had games with the Heat where it simmed past OKC & Indiana games to play the now-rebuilding Celtics lol. So not really sure what they class as a key game.

    With being able to heat up in various aspects of the game individually, it also means you get cold in those specific aspects as well. If you throw a bad pass, don't force the next pass the same way. Try something else. Your guy will literally start throwing bad passes all over and they'll steal the ball ridiculously till you start making good easy passes again.
    It's only when I unnecessarily use the icon pass, that's the issue (if a guy is next to me and I don't really need to use the icon pass). Whenever I pass normally it's fine, but if I use the icon pass it will sometimes throw bad passes. I doubt I'd be cold too, I get a lot of assists in games so I should be heating up if anything. I just gotta get used to not using the icon pass unless I need to.

      so im finally the starting sf on the suns. two games after i get my first start they decide to move me to starting center against the lakers which means im opposite chris kaman. oddly this is right after i tell eric bledsoe i wont be his sidekick so i need to score 25 points and win by double digits. you would think thats an easy mismatch for me on offense with me being so much younger/faster/more agile than him but the psychic defense allowed him to keep up with me on every single possession.

      between that and the insanely horrible spacing i am having a really tough time having fun with the game anymore. i ended up scoring my 25+ but we lost by double digits since no one else on my team knows how to defend or properly space the floor to create open looks.

            Just had one of the most b.s. losses in this 2K season..outscored by Houston 30-16 in the 4th quarter thanks to Rubio throwing the ball all over.. he had ZERO turnovers in the three quarters before and 6 in the 4th. Again I missed some easy layups to help lose the half, team shot 5/18 in the 4th after 16/21 in the third.. while Harden went off for 46 points shooting 21/31.

            ANOTHER injury for TWolves.. with Pekovic being day to day with a sprained ankle, while Corey Brewer's been screwed by the game after coming back from injury to play 8 minutes a game.. he was a scorer before, with Love missing half my season with various bogus injuries

              Which position are u playing?
              I'm with the T'Wolves too, playing as a 95 overall PF.
              I always start at SF and put as a PF/C when Love and Pek sub out.
              For me, when I see my teammates start to missing wide open shots mindlessly , I start to enter full attack mode (usually i feed them and avg around 6 assists a game) , I draw fouls or dunk them in! (with 92 dunk) also aggressively look for offensive rebounds more than usual (always end up with 15+ rebounds in one of those off games)
              But if you are a guard who cant dunk or easily draw fouls, i think u cant really do anything to prevent losing. Sorry pal.

                Mine is a SF that's rarely played SF this season thanks to all the injuries I start at SG more than anything.. I shoot a ton of free throws so there's no issue there.. the team blew a 17 point 2nd half lead in the loss. Dunking I can't do often but plenty of trips to the line.. NEVER "and 1" though, most I've had in 68 games in 2.. teammates NEVER get them either.. Pek shots rim out when he's fouled. Even with a 94 teammate chemistry when the game goes into "screw you mode" as I call it they don't pass to me when I call for it.. not about to spend VC to guarantee passes to me whenever I want them either.

                  Floor general is glitched, dun bother to try it!
                  if u start at sg It's hard to grab offensive rebounds
                  About and 1, what's your level of finisher and emotion?
                  I have 85 emotion and level 2 finisher. And It's Almost 3-4 and 1 every game. As a 6"11 big man, I always got and 1 situation when I perform standing dunk on someone (standing dunk 90 and posterizer )

                    I've never spent any VC on Emotion.. I figured it was just something for the cut scenes after you get knocked down and sit there waving your arms

                      no! It significantly increase foul calls
                      when u have low emotion, u have contact layups or dunks and that's it
                      but when u have high enough emotion, it certainly increases the chance of foul calls when u do contact layups or dunks. That is one of my reason i can get more and 1 calls.
                      Also, my pf tend to do more spectacular dunks when i raised my emotion attribute.

                        Really hope the b.s. losing and garbage play..ends when I fail to get the Kia endorsement, if the agent even tells me I failed to earn that.. was on a 9-1 streak at one point.. losing to the Suns at halftime will make a 1-4 run since

                        How I really know the game is screwing with me.. I'm STILL missing A- free throw attempts .. 3 games in a row they're going long... ONE of them with the exact same release point was graded an F! I can't hit a jumper to save my life all of a sudden either, layups are blocked..and I'm averaging ALMOST 10 turnovers a game again because the animation has my guy open .. when I pass the guy behind him jumps it and catches it clean like I handed it off! Teams are shooting 60% from three-point against me the last 4 games as well.

                        The way this season is ending I won't get a playoff run because the game is taking over and making sure I lose. The streak of being down at LEAST 15 points since the all star break has continued to every game but 1, and that one I won by 20+

                        The game has gotten SO bad.. I'm shooting 12 of 32 in a game.. because I'm wide open and missing EVERYTHING. The only time I EVER came close to taking this many shots I was 19/32 and scored 51 including free throws. Blatantly obvious this was a loss when I can't get to the line like I do EVERY game.. shot 4 free throws.. usually shoot between 10 and 15

                          Switch to LeBron's ft animation. It cost 500vc but its worth it.

                            So I'm in the playoffs again... and my Rubio problems have gone away (he got injured). I've now got a new problem... JJ Barea has got it into his head that he's Lebron and drives into the paint every time only to get smashed by one of the 5 members of the opposing team who are in the paint. It wouldn't be so bad if there was only 1 defender in the paint... but he seems to only charge in when the entire team is in there.

                              Just like someone said already, there are separate rhythm checks on everything you do. Ive hit shooting slumps, free throw slumps, passing slumps, dribbling slumps etc. Best way to get out of them is to just take extra care, pick your spots, play safe and simple. Its just as possible to get hot in any of those areas.

                              Edit: that said, I think momentum/rhythm should be severely toned down or removed altogether.

                                I know what you mean about the slumps. I usually get a huge shooting slump in the second half of Rookie Showcase.

                                Regarding passing slumps you just have to take a deep breath and go back to basics with simple passes for a while.

                                On a different note entirely I FINALLY got drafted by the Suns! Whoop!!
