    Yeah, given how they approach this this is the only way to handle this. First filter out by stats then give these guys a review. Still there will be good players that they wont find through this, guys who had just bad luck playing with bad teammates, didnt get enough touches over the 40 games...

      Official 2k Combine Thread.

      It's just an imperfect process and TBH I can't think of any better ways than to actually scout all video and actually interview people.

      If I was managing the team I'd look for this when it comes to skill: someone who is capable of being a glue guy and someone who could also score efficiently if the offense was to go through him. The former is easy to spot. The latter is the hard part. People who make the right play and not the sexy one can be overlooked. On the other hand, maybe they want aggressive players? Who knows. I had my chances to hold the ball and iso but I'd just swing and screen and move.

      And of course, if the player can be coached and isn't a total jackass helps a little too. I guess that's why all communication is being recorded. They'll probably tune out people who panic or start blaming everyone else for whatever reason

          why do so many post scorers just camp right under the basket even when there's traffic

          Have you ever heard of posting up on the block

          It's also impossible to get into a game unless you're a PF. been waiting 10 minutes. But if I select PF? Bam, instant game

            I've had multiple big men just screaming at me to get the ball down low even though they're covered..I just played with a center who knew how to post up on the block and we won by 20

              I understand that sealing your matchup under the basket is a basketball play, but people do it at the wrong times and force it. What is the point of sealing your man when the ball hasn't crossed halfcourt? People play this like it's an extension of a MyCareer game.

              I'm also in a game I'm point guarding where 4 people set a screen at the top at every possession. Why!??!?!?!?!?!

                The sharpshooting rim protector PF is wrong . It’s really a two way stretch.

                  I'm gonna play this muted from now. Just had a game where things were fine. It was 32-30 at the half, but honestly, we were totally outplaying them. They got some "2k benefits" you are all aware of what I refer to. Ball movement was fine, mistakes were minimal. But the shooting guard just started screaming "Yo man we gotta pull away from this, we GOTTA GET A STOP" and I'm thinking dude, why are you panicking, we just need to keep pace and it's going to swing in our favor eventually.

                  But he just kept railing on everything, every possession down was "Bruh we gotta score" "Bruh we gotta get a stop" and he finally said "Bruh this SF is trash" and the SF finally got on the mic and they started screaming at each other with the SF blaming the big men and the SG blaming him for leaving guys open. Was just a shouting match for 3 straight minutes before it was muted. We managed to get close in the 4th, but ... he missed an open shot that would've taken the lead. They then went up by 4 next possession and that's all she wrote. He just kept talking about how everybody else was trash for the rest of the clock.

                  Pure joy yall!

                    Faced a guy who held his crouch in the paint every play as a rebounding athletic finisher .

                        May retire this mode already. Just had a game where i put up 20 by halftime then got purposely froze out the rest of the game because dudes were trying to get stats. I literally had 20 first half then only shot twice combined in the 3rd and 4th.


                        I’m good on that bro

                          I think they made it 40 games to limit this but i don’t think they realize how ****ty ppl are on 2k. I don’t doubt at all you could have like 30 bad games out of 40

                            After this is over, this mode needs to be accessible to everybody with the ability to squad up and play with friends

                            I have several players that are more OP than the ones you can get in this, and I'd rather do this because it's not littered with OP badges that just bail people out of bad decisions.

                              So I just came back from being down 63-58 with 50 seconds left in the game to win 66-63 and behold! The game for some reason did not count. Anyone else experience this issue before?

                                Had that happen for my best game.
