I think PRIDE is ruining this game for some people

100000% AGREE! HOW CAN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT CHEESE AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CREATE AN OPEN SHOT?

I THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS SOME PEOPLE REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GAME OF BASKETBALL AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO GET POSITIVE RESULTS. YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BAD PLAYING ARCADE STYLE. WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT

LEARN THE GAME FOLKS #SIMNATION #SUCKSTOSUCK

OR when I play 23 seconds of good D forcing a bad shot and david lee skies out of position to grab the board and get a easy two before I can even react. Heck there was even a time when ben maclomore came down with a rebound and the ball morphed out of his hand to draymond greens who then got a and-1. Please tell me whats the POE to prevent these things from happening?

Great players make unbelievable shots from time to time irl. Did you try lowering shot success sliders to prevent seeing it consistently?

There is already a finding in the forums by Van concerning CPU offensive rebounds, did you try using it?

Only thing you can't control is morphing, you can nerf just about every other complaint with sliders and more time with the 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.

There's a difference between knowing how to play real basketball and knowing how to play a video game. For far too long now, the only way to be successful on NBA 2K against the CPU is to use video game skills, cheese, exploits, or whatever you want to call it. Higher difficulties should mean the CPU makes smarter decisions on offense/defense. It shouldn't result in unrealistic ball physics that result in every blocked shot/tipped pass finding it's way back into the CPU's hands, CPU reaching speeds the USER can never replicate on fastbreak offense/defense, USER players purposely leaving good rebounding position just so the CPU can get an offensive rebound, high FG% on shots at the end of the shot clock, almost automatic shots from the post by the CPU, the USER having to pause on fastbreaks so the CPU can catch up, and much more. If I make real basketball decisions that should result in successful offense/defense, I shouldn't be cheesed out of it by the CPU doing unrealistic things.

I agree with what your saying. Im speaking on the guys I see posting videos complaining about the cpu but continue to jack up contested threes and try to use the same exploits they have been using for the past 5 years..

Some dude think they're good in online ranked game when it's hella laggy lol. A lot of times, it's hit and miss because you can't really time your shots. 2K continues its legacy of horrendous servers. I hope there is a demo for NBA LIVE so i can see if the game is any good. Then i will jump to a different game since 2K don't care about the online community because if they do...things like this should never have happened before the game released. This is well documented....dating back to previous iterations. You rarely get good experience like you do w/ NBA 2k7.

Most of this can be fixed by lowering the difficulty. Most of the cheese goes away on All star sim.

Now the AI is what it is. The smartest the AI can be without getting boosts is all star sim. That's where it is at the moment. If you want to make it harder without the Ai getting boosts then you can still lower your sliders.

I'am expecting the AI to make a big jump for 2K16. Sure if you focus on all the things that are wrong and go in replay mode to review 10 times the ball morph through the hand you're not gonna enjoy yourself but the AI was never that good. What was frustrating to me previous years is seeing all theses legacy issues without knowing if they were ever gonna be taken care of. Now with the addition of czar, beds, OG I can finally sit and relax and everytime something bad happens I hear czar voice in my head... "It's a process fam " and I move on.

I never see this and I'm playing on All Star with slider tweaks. Seriously. The stuff you are talking about never happens to me.
