I've read every single post in this thread. Ilistened to all of you, some of you may care to hear whatihave to say. I didn't play this game pre patch. I'm a ten year vet in the 2k series. Last yeariquit playing online because i was a driving pg who liked to posterize and dish. Everyone who knows me online thinks i throw too many oops this year because that's all i did last year, buti quit when the zig zag cheese got out of hand. I lost one too many games to trying to d someone up and having them drain 3 after 3on me. The game i "retired" from was whena guy literally hit every point for his team from deep on me. I deleted half my friends list because they left me on an island. It was absurd, inexcusable, and offensive. I've not seen that once this year.
Finally, Jesus dear lord, defense has bestowed it's benevolence upon us. Hey ballers, remember how many timesa rr or a flyer team stuckahand in your face face and you still made it? Never would have happened in real life. That whole "deadeye" badge? No one hits contested shots at a 60-70 percent clip in the nba. Maybe 20-40 and that's the range. Late defender? Still make you think too much sometimes. Oh, and players make way less open shots than they miss in real life too. That's basketball.
My gripes? (flyer btw) is that defense still isn't boosted properly. Boosting lateral quickness and defensive iq might make sense, but the whole package, blocks, steals, those should still be pretty low. I get blocked my toenails and miss dunks all the time because inside scoring of all types got nerfed. I thought about being a rough rider, for my affinity of dunking as a pg. But the funny thing is that everyoneiplayed with last year wants to be a pg because they're on the flyers. I made a sacrifice for my teammates and decided to play more off the ball this year. And thanks to the ballers and rough riders, my average height 6'6 sg is basicallya big, slow, pg and with the added hitch in my dribbles even my 2 guard is worthless. I'm going to be forced to make a 7ft sf just to be able to compete with everyone littler than me who gets boards as a rr or to have length to guard the guy who refuses to go in the paint.
All of you ruined it for the new guys because the "boosts" were abused and taken away from daddy likea spoiled child. The way you guys play must be horrible to watch. I've had a lot of fun beating you guys because you only ever try to do one of 2 things and I've always been a passer. Just be glad that the game isn't the way it was before, because if i could still posterize people half as well as you used to, you wouldn't be able to defend me. I'm not saying that i can't dunk, but I've missed so many open layups and dunks that it's unfathomable to me too see how you played. I can still play an all around game, but the dribbling effects and lack of consistency in the paint are some of the same reverse basketball principles that made me quit last year.
Thanks all the ballers and rough riders for ruining what could have beena fantastic game. This is why we can't have anything nice. You ruin everything for the rest of us.
Also, if you're feeling froggy and want to leap, I'll still see any baller, flyer, or rider on the court. Finnydot2012.come get some.
Oh, and the standings are def rigged
