      43 rebounds?! How does that even happen?! Unbelievable. That hasn't happened in a real NBA game since the Bill Russell/Wilt Chamberlain era in the 60s. That's seriously messed up. And I thought Tyreke Evans taking 19 threes against me was bad.

        I just played a game where the AI controlled team had 28 offensive rebounds and finished with 73 total rebounds.
        I think I only took a total of 78 shots, while they had 108 shots.
        i boxed out, put my rebounders in, changed rebound game-play adjustments to crash the boards.
        nothing worked. something is terribly a miss with the rebounding. either that or skynet has infiltrated the game.

        Im literally getting blitzed every game now. very few misses by the AI controlled teams, and they all run and gun unconsciously.

        If I were 2k Id see if there is a EA mole working for them, that's messing up the game. To see the game go downhill like this, is mind boggling.

        In addition the rebounding in the box scores do not match the team comparisons breakdown at the end of the game. so whoever wrote that code screwed this up. wrong function, or variable might be the cause. but this has been this way for the past several years anyways.

          Gotten about 4-5 games post patch- SS default....not seeing a lot the outrageous stat lines or anything like that either- other than the offensive rebounds. It just feels off all around...ill have games where I dominate the offensive boards at a ridiculous rate too depending on who I pick....

          That's why I haven't moved to HOF yet- waiting on a fix for that- because I know its probably gets even worse there....other than that, the CPU hasnt really been stressing me out...good games, bad games, blowouts...mixed bag

            Dirk foul out at the beginning of the 3rd qtr this is for play now. Amazingly he was never subbed out for a longer period of time knowing he was in foul trouble!!!

            Definitely needs a patch real soon before the season starts.....

              do you know how the rebounds are calculated. cause the totals do not match up between the box score and the team comparisons.
              might be over analyzing things, but that really irritates me.

                Not sure...but it seems like I've heard of that being an issue in a previous 2k as well....

                  Think we've all been very patient..maybe it's time to put 2ks feet to the fire?

                  Bombard their Twitter,email and phones...and support.. demanding answers....

                  I don't mean in a spamming way...but you've purchased this.?it's yours..you have a right to expect customer service..and then f not repies and given..you use that info to get a refund via steam.. AMAZON especially will work with you..and major outlets.

                  Believe me when you touch their money..they listen.

                  Demand answers.?If none are given demand a credit or refund.

                  We're on patch 4 this game is broke 1000% will worse than it started.

                  Where's Ronnie 2k now..and his sidekick? Where are all the YouTubers what got paid to shill for this...all silent...while we hold the check...I say we put a HOLD on the check since we've received no support.

                  What do you say do we start with round 1,TWEET all of our issues..with proof (so that public can see the con game they're pulling).

                  Don't tweet to just 2k support tweet everywhere..where they're promoting something..a new game perhaps?? That will get their attention.

                  For the people who didn't buy the legendary edition,and bought separate V.C. if wthin 30 days you're e entitled to a refund..because they broke the game with the patch.. you shouldn't have to be a Techie to regain your character your u lost because they screwed up.

                  Isn't that why people use consoles..to just posted it in and play..otherwise everyone would be using a P.C

                  Even after the 30 days.?you're entitled to a refund,I would write via Twitter and support..until you get a clear response.

                  2k got too big, until we unite and make them accountable they will keep doing this...how frustrating is it ..they finished this game by August 1st.. knowing it was garbage...100% incomplete and broken..were never w at TIPOFF...they could have been working on this for 3 more months.

                  I also think that YouTubers need to show some respect..since we FUND their subscriptions.

                  What do you guys think? I fully understand if you think it's too much..but this is about getting what you paid for..even if it's a crappy game..you deserve a crappy COMPLETE game.

                  Let's be realistic, they are on their fourth patch and it's only gotten worse they still have your money they still took your VC money what are you have to show for it besides frustration and waiting for patches and patch notes when realistically it should be broken notes.

                  What do you say guys?

                    I'm playing on hof with slider tweaks and I'm also not seeing a lot of what's being complained about outside of clipping and the horrible default roster tendencies. If I'm playing with the Warriors who love to go small I'll get killed on the boards playing a team like the Pelicans which is to be expected. Now if I'm playing as two evenly styled teams the rebounds are about even, also agree with your last couple of sentences.

                    I've been blown out, have blown the CPU out, and had close games down to the wire. All depends on the teams, if I'm a lesser team I struggle to win and vice versa an I love it.

                    Yes team rebounds are being added to offensive and defensive rebounds that aren't recovered and this is irking me it needs its own separate stat column.

                      I just downloaded the latest patch. I'd heard it hadn't changed gameplay in a bad way. The recent comments have me worried.

                      I see flaws but I've enjoyed the game so far. I'm coming from PS3 so naturally I'm seeing an upgrade mostly. My only complaint has been CPU defense being too good. They're never out of position & stick really close.

                        The developers have no idea what happens when they send out patches. This is software were dealing with. Each of us have our own individual connections at your homes. 2K cannot go to each of our homes and test our connections. Also ive notice that every year when we first get the game, the game visuals seem bigger on my screen. The game also looks and feels smoother, with tons of animations.....but once the patch hits, the game seems dum down..every year I notice this. 2k has no idea of the software jinx that happens to the game...

                        I know this because I have a deep eye for watching this game and its functions for offline. I don't play my player or any thing else, so all I play is with NBA teams & legend team in play now...I see changes, but I'm not sure how to show these changes unless I'm in front of a 2k developer

                        This is why every year each of us experience different ways of playing, or different issues. 2k gets sent on a world wind once they issue out a patch. It totally flips everything upside down. Some people love it, some hate it, some want more, and some wants it to STOP....

                          They should give us the option to use the 'Online Versus' sliders offline....I actually think people would like them....especially as far as shooting..

                            I had a couple of good games since I last posted in this thread, that were completely different from my usual experience. I blew out the Jazz by 30 points then went on to lose to the Raptors by one point in the following game. I hope something has been tweaked in an update and that these games weren't just flukes.

                              Don't know if it was the last patch or what but CPU has guys like Boban Marjanovic, Andre Drummond, and Ian Mahinmi pulling 3s. Frustrating....

                                Two weeks in and the game is pure trash now. Just like clock work.

                                I'am honestly bored of the whole cycle every year. From the game is amazing to it's garbage in two weeks. Won't be reading this thread next year, just the same stuff every year.
