    haha well, playing team games online has made me a bit too optimistic, but imagine if they are scouting some guy who scores 40 or 50 points (like someone already talked about) and they are like, man, he looks good! Then they watch the other games and are like... but he's not as good as he was in that game, I wonder why?

    Then they watch again and see you doing the 'little things' at an underappreciated position. To me, the only way to approach things is to assume that people see and appreciate what you are doing. Then, if they don't... be like oh well, I did my best.

    Not that my opinion is worth much; I don't even play 2k anymore. Just talking and imagining what it would be like to be in this mode cuz it seems fun.

      It's all the Drive/Broadcast/who knows cam users screwing up spacing. That and piss poor IQ. I don't know how many times I gotta message people so that they use 2K cam default. There's a reason 99% of competitive pro-am teams use ONE camera angle.

        Re: Official 2k Combine Thread.

        What's all the crucifiction about people who use certain camera angles? I've been using Broadcast angle all my life from early NBA Live to NBA 2K first game. I've never like the 2K cam or any other angles. I consider myself a top tier Basketball gamer but because I don't use the 2K cam I'm not good? Someone please explain???

          That's too much effort and coordination without this arrow. And when the other wingman is not on the mic it becomes much harder to switch matchups.

            2K has always felt like my ping is somewhere between 200-300ms, very sluggish and unresponsive. Typically I can play Siege or BF1 (and other games) online and my ping is in the low 30s
            Online for me is fine in general since around december. And im from europe where they dont have any servers. I always struggled due to insane input lag the last years, I actually didnt play online 2k17 & 16. Dunno if they indeed improved their network code or just increased server capacity, but for me its fine since a few months, its like im playing offline...

              THIS....... is a major issue. Its the Westbrook syndrome. A lot of PGs want to do nothing but get the points or the assist. So the will pass it to the SG if he thinks hes going to shoot right away. Or will dump it off to the PF or C for a "easy assist". And this is only after they cant pull for the 3, drive baseline for the reverse, or the floater. PGs....its ok for the PG to pass the ball around......its ok to get the hockey assist.

              As a SF, there are qtrs where I dont even touch the ball.

              With that being said, still averaging 15 5 and 5.

                  1. If you assume your goal is to make it to the 2k league, and the games won't start because there are no PFs, and when you get into a game the games are poorly spaced due to both bigs camping in the paint... wouldn't the most logical thing be picking PF and spacing the floor correctly? Not only as a stretch, but actually using IQ w/ another archetype? You could also assume that there might be an actual shortage of PFs for the league, so you might actually make it.

                  2. Yes, make this a game mode.

                  3. You can tell a lot about someone by watching how they play. I would focus on adapting to the situation and making the right play instead of getting frustrated that you can't showcase your skillz. You have a set situation in each game, all you can do is perform as well as you can given those limitations.

                  thats my position. probably my best position if you ask me because its how i have played in real life. basically a SF/PF. the thing is, you dont need to be a Sharpshooter to do it. The problem is though...if you're not a sharp. NO ONE. I mean NO ONE understands how to hit you on the wing 12 to 15 feet out, or at the ft line(and extended). Thats proper spacing. they will be glad you took your defender out of the paint so they can drive for a score or drive and dish to others but you the PF wide open at that range will rarely see the ball. And here's whats even funnier. The way I play, if you pass me the ball at those spots on the court. I will destroy the other team. you know why? because thats just far enough to make the big man have to come all the way out of the paint to guard me or get lit up for the middy.
                  If he comes to close. I can go around him for the basket or drive and dish my self. in addition I can catch it there and see a cutter or shooters even better than the pg can from a closer range. No one understands this. Its actually been an issue in real life that most dont get it there either. This is the main reason Zone defenses work vs most people. If you have a competent sf or PF that sits on that FT line or 15 in the seems on the wing. he will kill a zone or any cheat like defense. he can exploit zone-ish defenses when people try to camp in the paint to help the drives and the post players.

                    Re: Official 2k Combine Thread.

                    Tryouts = Stupid.

                    I'd score 30 a game triple double with the right teammates. I'm at 14 15 5 running with morons. This really is a stupid way to determine who goes pro. It doesn't mean anything. These stats don't mean anything.

                    It's everything bad about walkon x 10.

                      Re: Official 2k Combine Thread.

                      My last 5 games I've had the worst PG's. Guys who dribble around for 15 sec looking to either score or get 40 assists and the rest of the team gets 0 assists. God forbid someone else besides the PG gets an assist. Kills the flow of the entire offense.

                        Re: Official 2k Combine Thread.

                        Yeah this mode sucks. They should have done a tournament with your own team like previous years. I just played with a roster that was pure trash they keep going in the paint getting there shots rejected. No kicking out or pump faking. We lost 100 to 60. Worse game i played in the combine so far.

                          Dear Combine Players:

                          Don't be a PG if your bball iq is worse than my grandmothers.

                            Yep just lost by 20. These people are true idiots. I'm shocked they won 50 games to qualify.

                              Just had a better game where i was PG and went 15pts 4reb 15ast and a 81-72 victory. I guess u just have to get lucky with the right teammates.

                                Had about 5% of my teammates who weren't trash

                                Every game there's the

                                - low iq PG who holds the ball for 15 seconds trying to score or get 100 assists. Pass to assist? Yeah right!

                                - athletic PF who tries to dunk over 3 people and clog paint

                                - "My first nba 2K game" noob who shoots a contested 35 footer every time he touches the ball

                                - Slasher who feels the need to cut to the paint exactly the moment he sees you cut

                                - Broadcast cam using zombies who have zero fast break defense because of the blind spot

                                - Who to guard arrow chasers who have zero concept of team D or rotating

                                these are your future pros 2k? Smh
