No, it's not if it can't be saved. That means before every online. I'm rushing not only for defensive settings. I'm also rushing through my favorite plays. By the time I'm done there is only a little time for adjustments during the game. And then having to assign those playsv to certain players. Yeah if you play offline. That's sounds great. I'm not saying it's not an improvement. It should of been a option. And then explained.

Saving it would definitely be nice. I'm just saying that this glitch makes me glad I take the time to do it before games.

That's why I don't do it. I need atleast 3 pauses if the opponent is ELITE level since stuff like STAY ATTACHED isn't on the timeout menu. Pick/Pop can beat you on a last possession but you dont want to have your center following Brook Lopez or Marc Gasol out to the 3pt line unless he HAS to.

we got 3 minutes--ain't nobody got time to be setting up favorite plays. [emoji849]

It costs me under a minute to set favorite plays and change communication to defense only. I have the other two minutes for adjustments as I need them throughout the game.

This is not a crying thread. This is a thread for those odd design changes that came packed in 2K20 that has you scratching your head.

- When changing sliders, when you switch user/cpu, you get sent back to the top. That means, let's say you're matching foul sliders with the CPU, every time you switch between the two, you have to scroll back down from the top. Sliders have been present since 2K3, and this never happened.

- The Pregame show is in the game, but it seems Visual Concepts placed it into the random events list upon game startup. You may get the pregame show, or you may get an ad for clothing with players walking all spiffy. What a weird choice. An option to turn it off would have been better.

- Of course the obvious...all the omissions in MyGM due to adding online leaderboards to the mode.

- The inability to turn off the splash, especially from seeing your opponent (cpu or online) having those perfect shots. I personally don't like knowing if a shot is going in before it makes it to the basket.



- New additions to the game that get no explanations. Visual Concepts are pros when it comes to having everybody guess what things mean and how they work. For instance, home court advantage displays a letter grade before every game, but what does it mean? How does it affect the home team? How does it affect the away team? What benefits does a team have with an A over a D-? Nobody knows.

- MyPlayer is the worst name for the story mode. MyPlayer used to focus on you. You would be given several options in how to react to different events, and you weren't bogged down into being a whole different personality. MyPlayer has devolved into a soap opera. You're an actor in a play about basketball. It is no longer about roleplaying as yourself, or any chosen character, but roleplaying a strict script of some racially ambiguous poser that no race in the real world can relate to.

Feel free to add to the list

THIS is a real bummer!!! I turn off shot meter and every associated with it and this just takes the immersion out for me. Along with floor general when controlling LBJ or Draymond seeing a bunch of %'s all over the floor really sucks. Hope they find a way to place an option to turn all that crap off!

Old change from when they made the jump to next gen, but not being able to save an exhibition game mid game should be brought back. I understand it's not a popular mode, but i interrupted a lot, and if I"m having a great game against the cpu exhibition, I'd sure as heck like to save the game. I don't like leaving it on pause.

TBH man with these new systems you can literally just pause the game and pick up the next day as long as you don't exit the app..

but I get what you're saying...

I was going to say this. But I'm sure he knew this already. I'm 100 sure Devs know this already. And it's just not worth the time to develop.

Only problem is turning it back on. And the freaking return to the start menu update alert shows up lol.

What I really miss from back in the back was a game of 21. That was probably the hardest to lose in my house (2k13 I think). And second was probably the free throw with the controller for the PS3 lol. I loved that LMAO [emoji28][emoji3590]

- Flagrant fouls on hands up defense.

- Hands up defense in the paint. Your defender will at times lower their hands for no reason or simply won't put their hands up at all.

- 6'11" mid weight centers vs 7'3" max weight centers have the same exact speed on the court, despite having a huge discrepancy in speed/acceleration attributes.

- Centers are inbounded the ball at times to bring up the court, as if their PG's.

- Extremely low shot coverage %'s on heavily contested shots. New shot contest system is one of the weakest ones yet.

- As mentioned before, all the unnecessary visuals (greens, shot % numbers under players, rebound takeover floor indicator, etc) all needs to go or at least have the ability to turn off. The game looks very arcade.

I have yet to see a flagrant foul with just having hands up defense but I believe it. Hands up not responding when you need it most has been happening since 2k14! I even had threads about it!

For offline guys do you guys notice that there are way too many green release from the CPU for heavily contested layups? It annoys me to no end seeing it. God I really really hate this decision to see greens from the CPU. Finally a 2k that I can play everyday since I'm enjoying the gameplay and this stupid **** gets put in.

Problem especially is that making adjustments in the pause menu during online games (especially Matchups, def settings and Stuff like that) is Prone to resulting in net work errors.... at least on pc it is that way for 3 or 4 years.

You know, if I'd seen this a few days ago, I never would have believed you as I've never seen this in PNO or MyTeam, but I played a few games of rec in the past couple of days and it happens way more often than not that the center or other non-ball-handler is receiving the in bounds pass

This happens to me all the time in REC. I thinks its because i have the highest assist/TO ratio on the team.

I had a PG last night ice me out the game after that happened. so tired of the petty bull**** constantly coming from the random guards i play with.

Like others have said in REC i hope most of my team quits so I can ball with the other dudes that wanna play BB

This was in 2k19 and I'm pretty sure I saw it in 2k20, why do the auto generated draft classes have 20 year old bald guys? I have to always go edit them and add hair. I get that they're randomly generated but you would think they could simply disable certain options that dont make any sense.

I didn't believe it until I saw Duncan last night do it to me. I was thrown off. Turned the ball over.

Why did they scrap all those extra ratings and double down on the badge system?

I think because they needed to refresh the formula. I still think some of the ratings that we know and remember like "Contest Shot" are still in the game. They are just hidden or unlocked by the badges. Every rating starts at 50 and then they boost to maybe 10 points for every badge. That's my theory lol
