Yes you will. Running mine on 8 and my team scores a lil less overall and my minutes are way less but my averages are above par.

I tried this once and it was already set to auto but I might as well check it again next time I'm on 2k. I did manage to get my turbo camera to save with a similar method last night so hopefully this will work. Many thanks.

Well before I became a starter I had similar numbers to those. However once I got the cutscene telling me I would be starting soon its all changed. We are losing a lot more games I think we were like 19-14 before, now as a starter we are like 7-10. Teams have been shooting ridiculously high percentages and my team has been terribly inconsistent.

I play superstar sim as well so it's incredibly frustrating when teams like the Pistons(last in 3PT% in real life)shoot 13-20 on threes. I also use Real Player % which really doesn't seem to do anything. I had a game of 29p 8r 9a and 8b(blocking is ridiculous as well) but the Knicks still shot 65% and we got blown out by 30.

Sorry for the rant but if you got any tips I'd be glad to hear em! lol

I definitely feel you on this however despite my lower CPU fg % I can always just see that the ball is going to go in when they sag off at 3.

Alright. Finally became a starter on January 12th. I was getting really impatient. After I became I starter, I've kind of lost interest in playing 2k. It's probably because of winter break(go back on the 27th) but I'm really getting bored. I'm forcing myself to play so I can hurry and get traded to the bulls. Coming up on my 9th game as a starter and still no sidekick conversation. The new agent, injury and game winning shot scenarios have shown up but no sidekick cutscene. I've been playing on 6 min quarters until this appears and the past few games I've been intentionally fouling just so the game would end. I fouled out in the 1st half against the rockets and apparently that was the game were I was supposed to hurt my ankle. Next game vs Pacers I start fouling intentionally in the 2nd quarter but I got subbed in with 1 min left so I stayed then proceeded to foul in the 2nd half. I get subbed in 6 sec left, post up lance stephenson for the the game winner. I'm not sure if the agent, injury, etc are supposed to show up before hand but I just wanna hurry up and get traded. The last two gm convos it didnt give me the option of saying i dont get along with a teammate. Hoping that the next game vs the nuggets will bring up the cutscene. If not I'm done for the night. And for some reason I'm starting at pf instead of sg...

I just spent a bunch of time customizing Nikes and Jordans... went to my closet and put the shoes on, then realized my player wasn't wearing them in the game!??

Is it because I don't have a sponsor deal with Nike or Jordan? When does that come along?

for me on superstar the opposition 3pt % is 65+

I havent adjusted sliders yet but will probably do so. My teammates sag off at the most inappropriate times, and the opposition guards swish 3 pters almost every time. Ive just purchased on court coach signature skill, and tried changing up the defensive options instead of just having man on man. Just seems to make the opposition CPU free for jumpshots everywhere.

How many games in/how can you request a trade? I'm getting sick of playing for this terrible Sixers team and I want a trade. I'm around the middle of December.
