    You've got to look at what you want your player to do, and you've got to compare the performance on the court.

    I try and have all of my players do balanced physical training unless there is a glaring disparity in stamina (speed training does not increase things enough to be worth the time imo).

    As for skill training? I always keep one balanced training per week and then try and focus on training for something else with the other. For instance, I will have my big men train in inside scoring and my outside shooters in jump shooting (outside scoring?). I don't usually train awareness unless the player is complete or I want him to jump to the Pro's early, but that's because my sliders give very little awareness to user team CPU controlled players.

    However, if one of your players constantly gets burned, it might be a good idea to have them train in defense. Or if they are a PG that can't pass, as noted above, go with skills.

    A little bit of micromanaging at the beginning of each season can go a long way. Your players may not have super high overalls, but they can be good at very specific skills and end up contributing greatly to the team.

      It can't be done in the menus. Only during a game is where you can change the camera.

        May sound odd but I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a problem with the game shutting off. I can do anything other than play an actual game. At tip-off the Xbox completely cuts off. The odd part is that I can play any other game for hours and have no problems, only one I have problem with is CH2k8.

        I deleted all files in case of a corrupted one and no luck as well as installed game to hard drive. Just wondering if anyone possibly had heard this before...

            I plan on doing a Career, any particular team you suggest recruiting wise? And how should I spend my first five attribute, and which did you upgrade first?

              Most people start by loading up on charisma because it gives a big advantage in recruiting. I've done it that way as well but also have enjoyed success with loading up on the coaching attribute. It will help with player development.

                I used to load up on charisma but then found it was too easy to get good players so if I were to start a less legacy I would avoid putting points in charisma to make it more realistic/difficult.

                  Sorry if this has been asked and answered but in this game, is there online, multiplayer legacy mode?
                  I.e. can 6 of us be in the same dynasty and play seasons online like EA NCAA 13 and 14 football?

                    Unfortunately not. Never could either, before the servers were taken down.

                      One thing you could have conceivably done was pass a legacy file around on 2kShare and play different teams on there (open legacy only), but that obviously can't be done now.

                        You could probably do that by using a transfer kit and emailing the file to each other but that could get tedious.

                          Played this game for the first time in forever today and saw another animation I hadn't seen before. My player got trapped from the opponents press, and threw the ball off of the defender to let it go out of bounds.

                            What is the alternate rotation in the rotations screen? When is it used?

                              Man, I'm really having a rough time trying to play this game after drinking from the cup of NBA 2K13 last year. I really want to get back into it because the legacy mode is so awesome and I'm so deep into it, but it's going to take some patience...

                              Has anyone else had this issue? The game was/is great, but the gameplay has definitely been left behind to some degree and the players look a bit stiff.

                                Definitely man. I've been trying to get back into playing College Hoops 2K8, updated rosters & all, but the outdated graphics & gameplay just kill the fun for me. It's so hard to get into it.
