Would really appreciate it too.
    Yes, I can confirm it's there. It takes a good 15-20 seconds to load (for me at least), but it appears and you can purchase and equip them with no problem. Unlike the stupid Nike shoes that still won't , but at least I can use my signature shoe and I don't have to use those basic 2k generics.

    For me, getting Hill and Randle going offensively means drive and kick to them for those short jumpers just outside the paint. As I drive, one of their assignments usually will collapse in on me and the kick is then wide open for the easy two. Sometimes, because they will miss at times, it also triggers their rebounding because they always crash the boards on follow-up second-chance points.

    It is Kelly and Lin I have trouble getting going. Lin more often then not will immediately pass the ball, even if he is wide open, so I have to wait until low on the shot-clock to give it to him. Kelly, I have not seen many games with him irl, but I understand him to be an outside threat - in game he sort of does nothing.

    Too bad we can't suggest trades because my team has Lou Williams instead of Wesley Johnson and he is a great sub for Kobe. He has the speed to make real fast breaks and he will shoot in the same situations kobe does. So when he subs in for Kobe, the production is consistent. Kobe does his fades and contested mod-range thing and when Williams comes in he does great transition and cuts.
    I've noticed that both Randle and Hill (and Davis too) get a LOT of offensive rebounds and putbacks since the patch came out, which make my life a lot easier because I can take more "risky" shots and they'll likely be there to fight for the rebound, which is very real, especially in the case of Hill which we know he's a hustle guy. About those jumpers, I haven't used that strategy much, but they've nailed some, for sure.

    For me, Lin was traded for Calderón and while the latter is a much better outside shooter, I lost the good driving to the basket and inside shooting that the first had. I haven't played much with Kelly since those trades, Doc is giving Jeremy Tyler more minutes; I almost don't use both of them to make plays, they're kind of irrevelant.

    As for Kobe, Doc is using Clarkson as a backup SG, while putting Kobe at SF or Wesley (which is the starter one). He's doing a really nice job for me, nailing a few 3pt shots here and there and driving to the basket in a decent manner. We lost Swaggy P for Foye (injured for 4 weeks), but chemistry is good and we're winning a lot of games lately, so it's all good. I'm 29-33, and we've been 10-3 or so in the last month; we might even go the playoffs if we're able to hit 50%., after a horrid 1-18 or so start.

    With Randle & Hill you can use P&R to get them going but to better get them more points you have to literally drive & cut it out to them when there close enough to the basket or enough for them to hit there jumpshots, but that should work for you just get them going by driving and kicking either of them the ball honestly though Lin is more of a better shooter then Wesley as bad as it sounds especially off of the double screen he comes off of he knocks down a lot of 3s especially with room. If we traded away young i don't know what I'd do cause I love playing with him once he has space or enough room to shoot he's shooting & majority of the team he knocks it down when this second season is done I'm going after Bradley Beal cause he shoots lights out along with Anthony Davis to go alongside Randle or Hill which either coach decides to do. My overall is 91. Added me on PSN:sneakerhead32
    I try to use P&R, but they aren't always affective at getting open and I don't want to give risky passes unless I'm sure they can catch it, I might try it again Lin is a better "slasher" and a decent 3pt shooter, but Wesley is a very effective stand-still 3pt shooter and I can throw him alley-oops (pretty much the only one in the team). I miss Swaggy P, he was a laser from the 3pt line, although both Kobe and Wesley have done a pretty good job at it all season long, so it's no big deal. I might add you later

    I got C&C within the first few games and later got VS. I struggled the first 4-5 games because I didn't know how to use it, but you can figure it out with practice. You have to shoot a lot in the 1st Q and get around, at least, 7-8 points (the more, the better). After that, you might miss 3-4 in a row but if you have good shot selection, you'll likely won't go under 45 %. I normally shoot a lot in the first, I shoot a lot less in the 2nd (unless we're losing badly and my team mates are failing), I shoot a little more in the 3rd and then a little more in the 4th. That strategy has worked well for me, and I've barely had "hero ball" games lately

      No I did nothing the same. I was just playing how I usually do and got it after a few games. After I get a 85 layup Ima upgrade my Playmaking.

Well, this time my 7 games were up and did the practice, the coach was mad at me cuz I guess I didnt do something right, does that prevent you from getting your point?
        I unlock some even when I don't have a practice.

          Cool and Collected by itself is not bad but with Volume Shooter, it becomes a bad combo. It take a little longer to heat up. You will probably miss quite a few more shots with VS if you dont get the ball that much.

            I just finished game two against the Blazers in the playoffs and I am pissed. After a great first game that was won with my assist to afflalo and I had a great game, I was expecting to have another good game. Nope. I started off 0-4 from the field on putbacks. I have gold hustle points and those putbacks helped me get to .616 shooting percentage. Then, I would play good defense to get the miss, but I would be unable to rebound and the guy I was defending would get the offensive rebound and make that, because faried decided rebounding was too cool. We were down by eleven and I orchestrated a run to put the team up by two with my first pair of made free throws of the game. We get the stop and what does Lawson do? Get his *** blocked! Then, the Blazers manage to make me miss my first dunk of the game and I make my other pair of free throws. Then, instead of dunking, I throw up one of Lawson's famous TO alley oops. We end up losing by four and I shot 42 percent because I blew so many easy layups. Btw, afflalo is not a 3 and D guy, he shot worse than me(bricking sooo many threes) and allowed Wes Matthews to make the three that gave Portland the lead. Then, I started game three, and I again missed a dunk and a bunch of putbacks, and Wilson chandler tore his mcl, so I just turned off my Xbox

              I summed the last 10 games in my season to get to the playoffs and now we have a 3-1 lead on the Pacer. We finished in the 7th or 8th seed and are balling. Gonna play game 5 later.

                I love this game and My Career but it drives me crazy sometimes with the insane number of missed WIDE OPEN jumpers with some of the most skilled players in the game.

                    Do you have pick & roll maestro? If so it makes it a lot easier to them the ball in the spots they want it but your right Swaggy P is laser for 3 or mid range I love getting him the ball especial since on my career now I don't have Kobe (broke neck vertebrae: out for career) I really rely on swaggy p not to mention I have Wilson chandler who is a monster so I have young playing SG & chandler playing SF but the type of point guard I am I get my team involved first then end of 3rd quarter & most of the 4th I just ball so that's how come I average so much assist a game & point lol, but if you have pick & roll maestro it makes it a lot easier. Add me so we could team up on the park lol

                      Just got royally screwed over in a game vs Memphis... had a 16 point lead at the half.. and blew it.. I got my first (since the old jumping and landing days) traveling call when I was double teamed with 15 seconds left but my guy is dribbling the damn ball.. and you can HEAR the dribble animation even.. after having the 16 pt first half lead.. we shot 36% in the second half and Memphis outscored us big time..

                      Lillard hit a 3 with 2 seconds left to force overtime (Jrue Holiday missed his own chance for a game winner).. maybe not 100% screwed yet.. haven't lost but 90% so I'd say when the game shuts your team down to let the other side come back.

                      OK.. I just got called for a SECOND traveling call.. first possession of overtime.. I started dribbling into the paint.. the double came and the whistle blew.. WTF?

                      Possession after that.. Robinson hands the ball to me.. one step and the ball is knocked away from me.. ANOTHER turnover.. whatever the game updated this time (when I started it went back to title game to install some small update) completely screwed me late in the 4th and OT

                      OK.. NOW we lost, 117-111 .. the game took away my ability to make a jumper in overtime.. 43 pts 15 boards 9 assists.. and the above garbage caused us to lose a huge lead in the second half.. like I said b4.. I haven't got a traveling call in YEARS.. and got 2 in the final minute, while dribbling, trying to hold on to the lead.

                        So does that mean I should put the defense up to level 18 in order for me to get defense anchor?

                          I would be happy if my teammates drain them like the CPU but they dont.

                          The Pacers came back from being down 3-1 and forced game 7. I had a good performance but no one on the team contributed.

                          Signed with the Grizzled in the off season for 269-596 3 year deal. Would of been higher if I played all my games.

                            Someone got it at 17 over at 1st badge, so you don't have too. Just play the next 3-5 games and if you don't have it then increase it to 18.

                                Then you may need to upgrade it to 18. Hope you get it because it works on the Park as well.
