Nothing better - nothing better than schooling opposing centers down on that block! Post up, jump fakes, hook shots, fadeaways ... My repertoire of moves is large. It's bad in a sense that I am limited to where I can be effective on the court and my participation in the game is dependent on my PG. So when I don't get touches.. I feel totally removed from the outcome at times. And if we are down by more than 4 points late in games...I have no impact on outcome as 3s star getting launched. But I am dominating on HOF so bump it. It's all good!

Personally I think the mode is completely worthless unless you're playing a point guard because the team doesn't run plays and you always have to be the star player for the team. And even then I've had games where I shoot near 100%, get 50+ points, a triple double and lose. Your teammates are just worthless in this game on both sides of the court.

I know this has been asked before but it's kinda hard to find. How long does it take until you can ask for another trade? I'm at the start of the second season, i took the first chance to request a trade and was traded to the magic. Can i skip to next key game now or will miss the next meeting with the gm? When will the next gm meeting happen?

I can't even argue .... They are completely worthless. I am currently in the second round of playoffs averaging 53 points/game for the series but we are down 3 games to 2. It's frustrating no doubt.

I'm getting that annoying black screen after the team logos screen again. I thought they supposedly fixed that in the last patch?

the only plays I see when I get put in at PG (because I'm a SG) is "carter drive to basket" "melo post up" etc.

there are no real "plays" per se that I can see...am I missing something.

I hope they patch it to have plays run most trips down the court when you're not at PG.

Even as a pg I can't call plays sometimes. The 2k smart play doesn't work sometimes. However, if you set the offense to freelance your team actually plays something that resembles basketball instead of just standing around. They'll feed the post or cut to the basket, but a lot of times I'm still calling for picks and they stop in the middle of their cut and just stand there. Almost every play that has a screen in it they miss the screen and instead of cutting they just stand there so when you throw the ball it magically goes to the defense. I lead the league in turnovers per game because when you get 2 turnovers in a row you get cold and the defense will intercept every pass you make. It's really frustrating but I'm slowly learning how to get around it.

I did not read through the whole thread but has anyone boosted the attributes of your player before the Rookie Showcase? I notice that when Ellis is drafted he is at 74 overall and wondered if this would affect the way you are drafted.
