    In the first one ball gets loose, Hardaway gets the loose ball and scores inside.
    In the second one Hardaway makes a very very tough shot. It is unlikely but it happens in a real NBA game too.

    By the way I believe the game is best played with regular NBA teams not with all-time teams or classic teams. The game goes crazy a little bit when you play with all-time teams or classic teams. The game is built for regular actual NBA teams so i guess that's why

The speed boost and new motion system is game breaking. Players (cpu players especially) don’t consistently run in a straight line. Fast breaks are done poorly because of this. I play mainly with classic teams. Anything above pro difficulty is unrealistically hard. The cpu can dribble through your entire team without losing the ball. But when they do, they somehow get a speed boost to get it back. The human user will lose the ball from any slight bit of contact. Players can’t even catch the ball without bobbling it. Offensive rebounding is a problem also. Layups are still timed. Smh. Maybe I’ll start the single player (My player) part of this game soon. But 5 v 5 against the cpu is a mess.

      I wonder if you also feel the same way when your winning the game or you tell yourself you deserve to win because you know your doing it right?? i really wonder how this people play the game to say all this BS every time in the forum. do you question the game also when you winning?? you'll probably loose 2 out of your 3 games and say this is garbage. Reading to your complain felt like your bad at playing more challenging games. but i guess to each his own.

        Been playing this game since early release and with only changes to passing speed and King Gro23's roster this is by far the best game of basketball I have ever played. Even with the default 2k rosters I have more fun, competitive, and varied games on 2k18 than any other before it...and I haven't even started a myleague yet! Just a whole lot of nba today/play now games...SPEAKING FOR OFFLINE ONLY...Can't speak for online and probably never will as long as offline is an option. Fix the cpu not calling timeouts (which wasn't an issue for me until a couple patches ago) and Im in basketball heaven! Long post complete lol🤣

            Yes I do. The same issues in game play are there whether I win or lose. The issues I have with the game has nothing to do with me winning or losing games. I played a season with the 91 bulls vs current teams and won the championship. I'm currently playing with the 96 bulls vs current teams and have to stomach Clint Capela out rebounding Dennis rodman and the bulls entire front line with offensive rebounding speed boost.

            Another example. I've been playing this game since release and I have yet to convert a put back dunk or tip in. Even when there's little traffic. My CPU teammate will attempt the dunk or tip in so I'm not controlling it. We are talking approximately 0 for 15 on tip in's. Players like MJ, Pippen, Rodman, James Worthy, Kurt Rambis Luc Longly, etc. can't convert a tip in or putback dunk. They either miss a dunk/tip in or mostly lose the ball in the air. However the team I'm playing against (CPU) makes all of theirs. SMH.

            I've been trying to give the game a chance because it has a lot of user positive reviews. I just don't get it though. I mainly play vs the CPU.

              Well thats pathetic. If they would have said before release " hey our programming is going to be severely lacking when using the classic or all time teams" i probably wouldnt have gotten the game. Whether that is the case or not this game just feels off when i play it, sliding everywhere, computer cheating you constantly. I mean when you look at replays you can see players on opposing teams syncing together, its all synced and tethered..that doesnt feel like basketball to me.

                Why do you continue to play? Genuinely curious....you've essentially stated that you weren't enjoying the game since launch. Is it solely to create the links? I can't imagine playing a game I disliked that long...

I loved that. I loved the presentation all around that year. 2K18 is the best NBA 2K so far though and it ain't even close in my eyes.

                  Man I honestly loved every thing about 2K12...but the gameplay, lol. First 2K game ever I could never really find my groove in

                  I still think the best last gen 2k game was 2K14....basically a final draft of all the things they had been trying to implement....and then they jumped to next gen, lol

                    CPU timeout issue bothers me a lot as well.

                      It must be you then man, I convert tip-ins and put-backs at least once every game with players controlled by me. I play at HOF difficulty with Detroit Pistons, default sliders and default rosters. 38-17 on the season so far. So it must be you. I get rebounds with Andre like hell. I get offensive rebounds with Stanley, Harris, Bradley or Jackson , at least with 2 of them every game with them controlled by me.

                      Shots you take and how you take affect how and if you will get offensive rebounds. If you take quick shots when nobody is around the rim of course you can't get offensive rebounds or tip-ins. If you attack the basket with a guard after p&r and you take the big man, miss the shot, you get the tip-in with your big man controlled by you

                        so you playing a fantasy game and not happy about the result because your using what you think is the goat of all teams and should not be beatable in such stats?? please tell me if i missed something on my first sentence. you cannot be all like this game is garbage when you are winning and losing. that means that this game is like how real game result you cannot win at all times. especially if your trying to relieve a fantasy of basketball against the current ones mechanic. this current teams play how they are IRL. how you view this game is how i feel like most of online gamers picking out the wrong thing about this game because it did not go their way, like really no positive thing about this game from all the time you played??? cmon now that is BS. coz if you are going to ask me my only concern right now is to update the Hair/Facial and Timeout and this game is already lockdown.and im strictly speaking about offline realistic mode like koosa said.

                          Dude how is it me when I said the my CPU teammates are attempting the tip in's? I don't take quick shots with the Bulls. I will on occasions, but I pick my spots. I play faster with the 87 Lakers. I run the triangle with the bulls, which is known to put you in position for offensive rebounds. A CPU player is grabbing offensive rebounds surrounded by 2 to 3 of my teammates consistently. It's crazy.

                          I've been playing 2k for years and i've always tried to simulate the game as realistic as possible. Whether I'm playing with classic teams or current teams. This year I wanted to do seasons with classic teams vs current teams. This may be the issue, but it's not me. This year seems to be a whole lot of SMH moments. LOL

                            I have no desire to play with current teams this year. I played with current teams a bit the 1st week of release, but still wasn't feeling the gameplay. Especially the running animations/new motion system. It needs some tweaking. It is what it is though. Peace.

                                You don't know me and I don't know you. No need to make assumptions. You don't have to feel sorry for me, I enjoy today's game for what it is. And I appreciate all the great players in the league today. I love basketball in general. Thanks for the suggestion though. Smh
