If someone is shooting less than 75% FG%, I consider that inefficient

but how can I be Kobe Bryant ?

[hopoffthiscliff]

I average like 8-9 assists on Jordan rec and anywhere from 3-6 on the park yet I'm an Rookie still is it BC of my losses?

[hopoffthiscliff]

I'm rookie three and my grade is always good but my rank goes down sometimes

yea i had the game since launch and im only rookie 2. it kept sending me to rookie 1. but about the grade. you cant get a grade for shooting or passing when your team Refuses to give you to ball. in most of the games i play the only time i get the ball is either when i have to body 3 people for it on the glass (im a 6'2 SG) or when i have to plug in my mic and start yelling at the guys trying to go melo shooting 1-8 to pass more

I agree. What's wrong with passing the ball? Basketball should be simple:
- pass the ball around
- shoot or drive when open
- play defense
- rebound
- run the break
- repeat...

I dread the times when i have to play with randoms, it's very rare that you get two who play that way. Luckily i've gotten to add some smart players to my friends list along the way.

Semi-OT: anybody else hate having to guard one of those iso losers that dribble around for 5-10 seconds? It's basically impossible, sure you can bump them away a couple of times if you're lucky, but the lag and weird defensive animations will put you out of position eventually. It's pretty lame, the saddest part is that those guys think they have "mad skillz".

yea in 2k14 most of the randoms i played with loved my style so much, they added immediately following the game. i remember one of them saying " its rare to find someone who is teamfirst AND understand how ball works. invite me whenever you are on"

in the 14 days i have had this game i have only had 2 sessions where i had people who played team ball and passes the ball around to find better shots. and they ACTUALLY played defense. both games gave us a nice win streak. i couldnt add the first set because the lobby died on us. and the 2nd set left the game after our 7 game streak ended. and most of the friends i had from 2k14 all joined the ballers so we cant play now<_<
