The issue that everyone seems to ignore...

I've noticed I often drive to the basket with my point guard and that buries my point guard 94 feet from the basket, I'll have trouble getting back. Finally, remember that some teams, like the Wizards, that their strength is running. I'm not saying that how it is replicated in the game is always authentic. But what I am saying is that there are some things you can do to help. The most important thing is shot selection. The more you are scoring on your possessions and the better shots you take, the less of a problem it is.

This is spot on

2k15 is the closest thing to sim basketball of all time ....... Too long people have been getting away with poor basketball decisions........

'15 punishes those decisions more than ever ..... So the onus is on the player to improve their play.

Ai does need work though. Most of my shots are good shots and even with my POE set to limit transition its still too easy to fast break and anybody can throw the lob pass.

Fast breaks don't happen like that because of the defensive players getting back in time...I think that needs to be addressed more than anything. Maybe take control of the furthest person back and stop it yourself for the time being?

I've actually become annoyed by players who throw the cross court pass and it ends up sailing out of bounds. Anyone who has played baksetball can throw a pretty accurate cross court pass, you may not hit the player in perfect stride, and it may not even be all that accurate, but it's definitely not sailing 10-12 feet above the player all the way out of bounds. I guess that's just 2k taking the easy solution to the true problem tho.

Yeah I understood that after reading the first like the original post, but it should be been in the headline instead of trying to sensationilize the headline.

I apologize for the clickbait title, wont happen again

I agree but not entirely. This year, pretty much any player can throw a 3/4 court pass. In-fact I accidentally hit A when I bounding and accidentally threw a pass from the inbound all the way to my PF in the paint on the other side. It went perfectly over the defender and I laid it in. This should never happen.

I felt bad for my opponent lol

Online is like on Casual, it feels like NBA 2K12. My opponent usually zigzags into paint untouched. I used to catch them on charges but it don't work anymore. And my opponent wont miss abg shots, its 2K12-esque. Online Quick Rank is a waste.

Don't worry about it. He dislikes EVERY thread that is negative towards NBA 2K, constructive or not. You can name a thread w/e you damn well please.

I will mention, don't forget that there is a transition finisher AND outlet pass badge. I'd bet that your worst experiences with this are with some of the better outlet passing guys, i.e. Kevin Love to Lebron, I'm sure that's a popular play.
