There is NO association mode, so there is NO one opened a thread for it.

For me it's easy to block with a PF. I'm a 6"11 Athletic PF with only 50 in block.
Averaging 3.7 blocks in my rookie season in 8 mins HOF sim.
There are mainly three ways to get a block.
1. Low post hook shot or fade block
2. Drive or dunk block
3. last sec shot block

1 is very easy to manage, just keep focused on the timing of release and keep holding R2 and LS towards the shooter and get him out of here (some ppl's fade is hard to block, eg. Nowizski)

2 needs a little technique to figure the driver's driving lane and also not to lose your assignment too soon to let the ball handler get the easy dish. Actually just rush for a block whenever u see the ball handler started the driving animation, they usually dun pass when driving (Rubio is an exception)

3 is the most easy one. 2 or 3 sec in the shot clock, just rush to the ball handler to get an easy block!

Blocking is fun and easy in the game. I may need to rise up my blocking ability for the second season to get less foul when blocking? (It is relevant?)
My player is now 91 rated with almost all field maxed out but block and post hook.

Hey guys. My player is a 6'6, 205 lbs Shooting Guard with the Pistons.Nearing the end of February we are second in the conference behind Miami Heat.I will willingly admit I know NOTHING about basketball and the NBA but I saw the game on the PS4 and was so impressed with how it looked that I went out and bought it so I am very much learning on the fly.I am getting around 20 points and 4 assists per game and am about to move up a level to Pro.Here's my experience of playing on the Detroit Pistons:Jennings - Wildly inconsistent. Smith - Has his moments but generaly average.Stuckey - Does ok when he's in but I took his starting spot.Drummond - The only thing he seems to do is commit numerous fouls per game. Monroe - tends to play well.Siva - awful. Seems to insitst on attacking the basket but gets blocked eveytime. The thing that annoys me is that Kyle Singler hits loads of 3 pointers everytime he plays, but he never gets many minutes. Its frustrating as he's the only one who shoots when you give him the ball in the corners and 9 times out of ten he scores. The rest just pass it around, seemingly afraid of shooting.Anyway, I have two questions if anyone can help?1 - How do i get steals? I only get around 1 per game and thats just by hitting the steal button which ofcourse gets me reaching in fouls.2 - How do I find out which teams are interesting in trading for me?Thanks

Also does on-court coach work as intended when you're a PG? I tried it with my SF MyCareer and it didn't work at all. I don't like that I feel the need to purchase it but I hate it when I get moved to shooting guard since I like running plays in most possessions.

Josh Smith is one of the most annoying team mates in the game probably. Keeps shooting 3s with his 60ish rating.

Sorry, I'm sure this has been talked about over and over but I haven't read all 400+ pages. I am midway through my 3rd Season and Won ROY/MVP and the Finals, then MVP and lost in 7 in the Finals, MyPlayer was still disgruntled at being on the Hawks. LeBron had mentioned teaming up between Seasons 1 and 2 and I demanded a Trade with the Heat being the #1 likely landing spot and the spot I requested and I got traded to the Knicks... (Seems like Carmelo and something for Me) I saw my contract is 2 years 1000 VC but after my second season I didn't get a new one or free agency or anything. Is that a broken feature? I would like to be a free agent and team up with LeBron, I am weary of carrying the team and i'm a PG and cannot Rack up assists like I would prefer to dropping 35 a night.

Player Name Dang Lin-Wang, 6'7" PG, Drafted by Hawks, 95 Overall
