I think PRIDE is ruining this game for some people

[and1play51]

Just play real basketball, if u dont know how the game works your obv gonna struggle, I've really restructured how I call plays and the flow of my offense, currently playing superstar sim and moving to hof soon. Floor spacing and running the right sets for your team is key.

I really don't have any issues gameplay wise I play strictly on HOF.

Servers , disappearing my player are another story

It's just the excuse they use to blame 2k instead of admitting they are lazy. You don't need to"know" basketball to know that the cpu is rebounding too much for my skillset so ill pause game and change rebounding real fast... 5 sec fix

Played a game of Blazers (me) vs Nuggets (cpu) on SS/Sim after moving on up from AS/Sim. Now with the whole offensive rebounding/putback issue, I really saw my fair share while playing on all star, and I saw it a few this game (Danilo had 3 OR) but what was weird was before on All star, they would make the putbacks with ease, and on Superstar, they were actually having their shots roll out (ie: Faried and Timothy), I guess the Chris Kaman is fearful in the paint lol. But point is that gameplay weirdly improved with ease moving up on difficulty, I mean I lost after giving up the ball twice in the fourth and having them have 14-5 run, but c'mon, I had McCollum running point. (My rosters resemble the team after recently playing, so no Lillard.. )

I really don't have a problem with the rebound of the game, the putbacks seem to not be as easy thanks to the defensive juggernaut in the paint aka Chris Kaman lol. My only real complaint is at one moment in the game, Ty Lawson had a fastbreak going and I had Robin Lopez in the paint waiting and right when Ty Lawson arrived to send a floater up, I press the block button since I had perfect position to send that shot flying in reverse, thing is the guy kinda just there stood there instead of blocking the shot like he should had and one thing I love about basketball are the blocking of shots, so I feel like if the blocking is just a tad bit irresponsive, I mean I still got two other blocks (one blocking a dunk from Faried from no other than Chris "The Paint Defender" Kaman lol) but still, I would at least like to get a block I know I should get, but other than that, the gameplay is great and there shouldn't really be much changes or tuning to it.

I agree 1000% just think if we didn't have sliders at all this thread would change in a hot minute....2K won't let us customized blah blah blah.....

This is one of the most tired excuses out there man. You make it sound like YOU have a life and people who actually put time into practicing and learning the game don't. Get out of here with these type of blanket generalizations that are lame.

Play on Pro if you want to pick it up and play without learning the in-depth options at your disposal. This thread is meant for you as it sounds like your PRIDE won't let you.

Yeah, I would agree with both of these statements. In previous 2Ks, the CPU was the most fair on All-Star, but in 2K15, Superstar plays a well-balanced game.

True. To add with pride I think some people feel like they know what the CPU should do in most situations, and that's not the case either. I've been playing SS/sim and it's all about gameplan.
