    Please tell me how i can keep my defender from getting sucked into a screen? I want to know. Every single person i play just calls for picks all game. I usually win but still... the times i do lose it's extremely annoying knowing that it's because of something so dumb.

    I don't mind losing against someone who's better but all this cheap stuff really has to go next year. The worst part is those guys actually think they're good.

    - First of all they have their sickening all 90+ ovr lineup against my reasonably realistic (imo) lineup. pg - lance and jarrett jack, sg - saph wilkins and silver vince, sf - gold pg13 and emerald mcdaniels, pf - mcginnis and jarnell stokes, c - saph brook and nogueira.

    - Second of all they need to cheese all game long. Baseline, pick suction, and of course the game bails them out all the time by letting them make their dumb contested shot attempts.

    Usually in games i eventually end up losing i'm still leading most of the way. But then of course they finally catch up in the 3rd or 4th after a ton of bs and then it starts. Quick pause, prompting me to quit. Meanwhile i'm thinking like: "are you really that dumb? all that cheese... AND that ridiculous team and you're only up by a couple points... How can you possibly be gloating?". I can only imagine what would happen if they used a team like mine and i use a team like them... 30-40 point blowout every time.

    /rant

    (Just lost to some dickweed in the 3rd seed who made like 7 threes with ruby klay with a hand in his face from 6-8 feet behind the 3pt line. On top of the usual cheese. I'm pretty sure my defender's hand was even ON the ball on some of those shots but of course there's no replay so i can't be sure.)

    Edit: It's not all bad though. Other than that game it was a good day and i went 5-1 i believe. Actually played against two fairly normal teams as well. Props to those guys.

      Does anybody else experience that every AWAY game in rttps they have a random playbook?

      It happens to me every road game.

        Yeah, been like that since 2k13. They can't seem to fix it.

        Lord Bonium, it's not easy to defend PnRs but it's far from being as impossible as you make it out. Pick Dodger is a really good badge to have. There's also a bunch of stuff on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaWtL7G-rX4

          Thanks and that's a good video but i already know all that stuff, i played basketball for quite a while. My problem is the suction animation. The ballhandler inches towards the screen until i make contact and the second i touch the screener the game sends me into a go-over animation automatically. At that point he gets an open look.

          Next time someone abuses that i'll just control the second defender, problem solved. That's mostly what i do anyway when someone abuses the pick and roll to go baseline. My main complaint is that i'd prefer some more control instead of getting sucked into all these unnecessary animations.

          But you're right it's not that hard to stop, it's just annoying/boring to have them do it on pretty much every trip down the court.

            If he inches toward the screen, why cant you simply go above it? I only get caught in the animation if I get caught off-guard, to be honest. Happens more than it should, but it's definitely my fault.

              Because by the time he starts inching toward the screen it's already set and there's no room to go above it. If i try to anticipate and go above it before the screener gets there he gets an open look... That was the first thing i tried. I've found that you can't leave ruby klay for even a split second.

              Honestly he's just broken though after this patch, even well contested shots keep going in at a rate that's way too high. Of course that was just one game though and it could've been just one of those games. But from this and what i've seen in the park yesterday i doubt it. Shooting seems to be ruined.

                Dunno, I've played about 8 games since the patch, held everybody to below 55% shooting. I can live with that, we're playing with super teams after all. It does seem too easy against the CPU though.

                  Had to post this. 2nd QRT up by 10, the usual momentum shift after the 3rd quarter made it to a even game. Back and fourth game till the end. I was somehow sure, that i would win the game, because i took my time and tried to take the best shot possible. Especially the Wade Layup should be a easy one. But this game made it clear that dunking with (young) MJ is the best option.

                  I think that was the closest and weirdest game i had in a while since 2k7. Watch till the end

                    That's the problem with rttp. The guy that tries to play realistic ball loses to the idiot exploiters way too often. That's why I rarely play it. I shouldn't have to sprint to the baseline after a made basket because of a game flaw that makes baseline drives too effective. It's just not fun to me playing the cheesers.

                      Does anyone get tired of playing people who do the same thing over and over again? I honestly just get bored by the end of the first quarter and give up the game cause it's just so boring.

                        ^^ yes, all the time. I often wonder why i even play this mode, all it ever does is annoy me. I love the idea of myteam but, as with most things, there are always undesirables around to ruin the experience. Unfortunately, in video games, it's not just a few but actually a majority.
