Re: NBA 2K18 Q&A Thread

I have a question...NOW while playing defense when I tie up the offensive player with the shot clock running out, WHY does it automatically put 5 seconds back on the clock for the jump ball? And with the CPU wining the majority of the jump balls It feels really cheap for them to get the ball back?

Are Badges and Tendencies also progressing together with players getting better/worse in MyLeague? Or do I have to adjust these in regards of the development of players?

What does normalizing stats do? If I'm playing 12 minute quarters already, do I even need to change this? Should I just leave it to OFF?

Re: NBA 2K18 Q&A Thread

Once you have already selected an offensive gameplan (share the ball, get shooters open, pick and roll, play through specific player, etc.), how do you reset it back to whatever default setting it was at the start of the game?

After I set it once to run a few specific types of plays because of the game situation, and I don't want that setting anymore, I feel like I have to choose something else, rather than just go back to a default of some kind. Is there a generic setting that I could put it to for this (like share ball → auto)?

it calculates your Played games Stats to the Minutes of Simulated games. if both Quarter lengths are the same, it doesnt Do anything.

Re: NBA 2K18 Q&A Thread

I'm hoping someone can help me understand this. Please, and thank you!

In the offseason of a new expansion franchise (before 2017-18 season), my team has about $20 in cap space, yet I cannot offer a contract beyond that. Makes perfect sense.

The issue is that I see other teams with FAR LESS cap space, and even negative cap space, being able to offer guys like Curry $30M a year etc.

Why is this?

Could be cap holds those can make it look like you have more cap space then you really do.

How do you select the Alt uniform for Pro Am once you hit Elite?

As an expansion team, it didn't appear I had any cap holds. It's just really odd--I could offer contracts up to my cap space, but then it would say that I still have a TON of money left (I forget what the title is called that is to the right of your salary cap space on the FA bidding screen).

Re: NBA 2K18 Q&A Thread

Okay umm...2k, when I start a MyLeague through NBA Today (so that the Standings, Stats etc. are up-to-date), you guys absolutely ignore Jordan Bell of the Warriors. Hell, after checking the Box Score of the blowout vs. the Bulls in-game, GSW scored 143 points but because you guys apparently don't think Bell exists all the players combined for only 136 points, missing his 7 points.

He doesn't show up on the Box Score at all and still has no career games played. Why???

Oh not sure I just no cap hold confuse me.
