    Yeah, I'm a PG so he's my man. I don't want to use up all of my fouls. I do try to go for steals a little too often but it's mostly me just not being able to keep him in front of me to save my life.

    I'm in game 6, now, and think I've adjusted a little better. But he had this three game sretch agaisnt me in games 2-4:

    48 points, 21/37 FG, 3/7 3P, 3/4 FT
    63 points, 26/45 FG, 5/11 3P, 6/7 FT
    59 points, 23/40 FG, 4/7 3P, 9/10 FT

    So, he averaged 56.7 PPG, 70/122 FG (57.3%), 12/25 3P (48%), 18/21 FT (85.7%) over those those three games. In that 63 point game he had a stretch where, because I just decided to back off of him a few steps, and he made probably 5-7 straight 18+ foot jumpers. Haven't gotten that close to throwing my controller at the all in a long, long time. I somehow managed to "hold" him to 31 points on 12/31 FG, 1/5 3P, 7/7 FT in game one; and in game five I "held" him to 27 points on 10/26 FG, 2/9 3P, 5/6 FT. I lost those three games by 18, 24, and 13 points. Fortunately I was able to win game 1, bounced back after dropping three straight and won game 5 and 6.

    I've gotten "abused" by other PGs from time-to-time (Rose, CP3, Wall, Parker, Shabazz Napier of all people) but never to this extent. And Westbrook killed me in the regular season, too. He scored 45 points on 18/32 FG and 3/5 3P in one game and 39 points on 14/29 FG and 4/7 3P in the other game.

      Closed out the series and beat the Thunder 121-114 in game seven. Westbrook had another 45 point game, but I countered with 56 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, and 4 steals. I had "only" been scoring 35ish points per game through the first five games while dishing out 15-18 assists, but since it wasn't enough to counter Westbrook's eternal "God Mode" I decided to go into "score first" mode the last two games of the series and scored 51 and 56 points respectively.

      Anyway, it got to the off-season (I just finished year two) and it asked me who I wanted to target in trades in the off-season. I play for the Pacers and we're pretty much set at PG, SF, and C, so I selected Anthony Davis and Bradley Beal...and it worked. Not sure how that worked, but now I've got a sick starting five:

      PG | Me | 21 years old | 89 OVR
      SG | Bradley Beal | 23 years old | 85 OVR
      SF | Paul George | 26 years old | 90 OVR
      PF | Anthony Davis | 23 years old | 94 OVR
      C | Roy Hibbert | 29 years old | 80 OVR

      and David West is our 6th man. Our only weakness is that we don't have a backup center. After West, our only other backup bigs are, tweener forwards like Wesley Johnson and Damjan Rudez. Shouldn't be a problem since our starting lineup is unfairly stacked, though.

          Is it me or that attributes is broken for my career? I have both SG and C maxed outside shooting (95 standing 3!!) yet in real games and mypsrk I'm bricking wide open 3s or midrange. I'm shooting around 30% from deep with that 95 3. I could name many players that has under 95 rating and still could shoot lights out

            Anyone getting crashes to desktop lately? No error message or anything. Just straight to desktop. I can't finish a game without saving and exiting after every quarter in fear of having to play the whole damn game again...

            So far, I've only read one other person having this issue. Just wanted to see if other are experiencing this as well.

            It's a real hassle to play a game because sometimes I have to play a quarter over and over again. Sometimes having to save mid quarter. Just finally got my guy to 95 and it would suck if I can't play the rest of my career out because it's corrupted or something.

            I didn't want to have to reinstall if I didn't have to. Any suggestions?
            (I've disabled my sound card, disabled windows aero, still no avail)

              Dude , believe me when I win , I feel so damn good. I know it's not impossible but think this. My last 2k game I played against the Spurs, we were up to begin the 4th quarter. They came back and went into overtime . Ok they are the spurs Al it's believable but the last minute of overtime it was tied. Green shoots and misses, only me and Tony Parker are under the rim. He BOXES me out and remember I'm a 6`8 SF and I just higher and in a better ave than he is, he gets the board and passed it to Green who hits a contested 3. The game isn't impossible to beat but the CPU makes it feel like it is. You may not go through it but a lot of people do. Watch ShakeDown2012 mycareer vids and you'll know what I mean. He met with 2K devs and he even says there is too much cheese. Just watch his latest top 5 wtfs...

I blow teams out by 15 PTS or more especially at home. My comments had nothing to do with any of that. It had to do with the game being scripted. "Keeping it close" is called being scripted. I have no interest in playing 40 mins knowing that regardless of how I play it will be close at the end because of the game making it so. How it will make my guys miss wide open layups and dunks for the sake of keeping it close. That is called scripted. If I can predict how the superstar and the role players are going to shoot....and almost nail the exact numbers I might add... That screams the game being FIXED. I don't mind contested shots going in or even the horrible defense sometimes as I can adjust to help. I don't mind the other team getting hot or playing tough D. Its when the 'fix' is SOOOO blatant that you want to throw the controller through the wall. THAT...is what I can't stand. I HATE RIGGED GAMESSSSS. I HATE the computer making my great star players...play like crap forcing my guy to have to have stats that Wilt Chamberlin would say wow about. I don't care who is on on my team now because they will shoot 40% or less. That's just STUPID.

                I am happy you all have no problem with these games. You get to continue to enjoy it. I on the other hand can't.

                Just ignore my biased rant and dunk one for me.
                Exactly it's not that we can't win because I just went on a winning streak before losing to the spurs. But just because the difficulty is higher doesn't mean 2K has the right to pull b.s to "keep it close" when my open teammates miss open jumpers and CPU makes crazy jumpers I get pissed. I was playing against the Bucks and I was guarding Jabari Parker. Shot clock winding down and he catches the ball wayyyyyy behind the 3 point line and I say he's not gonna make that let me get the board so I sag off cause he's almost near the damn half court line and guess what . He DRAINS the 3 by chucking it . Not a regular jumper leaning throwing the damn ball and he makes it. Thank God we won

                  havent played my mycareer in a while but started it back up. finished my contract yr on the pacers and i had fun my two years on them. finishin in the top 6 in the playoffs. got to the finals once and lost 4-2 to the 5 time mvp KD. had a thrilling conf finals vs chicago and i guess our magic ran out vs KD and russ. second year made the playoffs but david west broke his kneecap and retired after the postseason. lost to chicago in the conf finals. so free agency came. frank vogel left and i was weighing whether to leave or stay. only other team i wanted to go to was toronto, so i signed to the raptors and seemed like i made a good choice. the pacers are currently falling apart and is in last place while im about to clinch the division. had a HUGE game in my first game in indy. finished with 47 pts 9 rebs 7 assists and 7s steals as my pg i was soooo close to a quad double!! and JV is a beast in the paint i love playing with him

                    So it's 4 in the morning and IM in the last quarter against the Clippers , when the 4th quarter started we went on a serious run and were ahead by a lot. I saw a PS4 update start to download , didn't mind it. Last 3 minutes , the game automatically STOPS AND SAVES. I thought oh the update is downloading , hopefully I'll just be able to continue when the PArt update is done, 30 mins later I load up 2K15 and the game restarted. I am so mad right now . I said screw it IM not playing anymore tonight , my great stats gone. :banghead:

                      I had a couple, but they never happened in game. It always happened when exiting a game. It saved everytime so no big deal(of course I havn't played for around a week so idk if it has gotten worse)

                        Many of the rants of this nature do include "can't win" complaints. The guy posting above you is but one example. So I apologize if you thought I was singling you out on that.

                        We all really like/love this game and we all tend to learn from each other. I guess this is why I don't ignore you or other ranters - I want to see if there is things I can say or point out to help my fellow gamers enjoy the game better. I made a Center for this purpose.

                        I guess my approach to the game is different than the one you take. I get as frustrated as you do at times. Instead of putting the controller down for good, I try to figure out ways to make things work better within the given game.

                        As an example: While playing my Laker PG file, I had to figure out how to get Hill and Randle to be effective rebounders and post-up men. It was very frustrating seeing my inside guys with 3, 4 or 5 rebounds a game. It also made it much harder to win, because the game really puts emphasis on rebounds when determining runs and streaks.

                        I've figured out different ways of getting them going. So now, it is both easier to win "properly" and less "cheesy".

                        I wish I was able to give screen grabs like Magnus or do vids like Sleepy - I'd share what I do to mitigate the cheese. Unfortunately, I am an idiot when it comes to this stuff so I have to settle with writing. People don't seem to need my help though.

                        I guess I don't see the benefit of ranting about the cheese so much if you know how to deal with it.

                          The higher difficulties add attribute points to every single player you face. The difference between HoF and SS is 20 points attributes across the board. Think about that. This means that those players listed in the 60's will now be playing like they have attributes in the 80s. This also means the Lebron and Durant and other superstars will play better than Jordan ever did in real life.

                          They are going to make a lot more crazy jumpers and to adhere to the ratings system used your guys are going to brick a lot more and act like traffic cones on d.

                          Perhaps you should consider playing on an "easier" level - not because you can't handle the challenge (obviously you can) but because the ai - both your teammate ai and the opposing ai plays more realistic! Again, think about it.

                          DaCzar stated earlier that to get the most "realistic" play out of the ai you should play on SS level play - anything higher will increase the cheese.

                            I can relate to what everyone is saying when they say there is some scripted. Playing the Cavs last night and i KNEW it was going to be a tight game but we were UP by 13 in the 3rd qtr when right on time i take a seat on the bench and when i come back in OF COURSE its tied.

                            We proceeded to go back and forth and then of course our entire team goes cold and they get HOT so we lost. Thats what people get tired of, when the game sims you out of a victory. We had won 13-14 straight...

                            Oh well i got the State Farm and Gatorade deals over the weekend so im good...just waiting patiently on a shoe deal. Having fun with the twitter option.
                            Comeback can happen...thanks to EA Sports!
