Just listen to some relaxing music. Find a Spotify playlist for your PS4 or get your phone, mute the tv, and just go.

I only lose my cool when I know 2k is desperately and obviously cheating to keep up with me in MyLeague games. The game sliders are rigged in the CPU's favor whenever they're down.

Totally depends on who I'm playing if it's me against my brother then it's Always like Game 7 of the NBA Finals because I'll have to hear his mouth. But if I'm playing online or
A friend then if I lose no big deal. But that's just me though lol

Honestly it IS just a game. Something to do for fun. If you lose or getting frustrated, find out why you are losing or why you are frustrated and remedy it.

If you feel like you're about to reach a breaking point, take a 30 minute break. You might wait 10 minutes and want to get right back to it but you'll be right back where you were, frustrated and only making the problem worse.

If that doesn't work, play something else for a while. 2k can be one of those games sometimes.

I broke a number of controllers back in the day, but the price of these next gen controllers put an end to that! In all seriousness though, like a few others have said, just take your L and move on. I play offline seasons so im not about to get heated with the CPU.

Re: How to keep your cool while losing ?

The gameplay is too ridiculous for me to get upset about it at this point. I do average about 30 eyerolls/sighs a game though but i wouldn't exactly describe that as losing my cool.

Not like in some previous 2k's where the gameplay was mostly on point except for one or two things, like last year with the op post fades and reverse baseline dunks. That stuff would piss me off because beyond that i felt like i had total control over the outcome. Right now there's too much randomness and too little control (input lag, clipping, unnatural movements, horrible passing, dumb ai, etc) for me to take it seriously. The only mode i can somewhat enjoy is pro am (with a squad), probably because there's (usually) no ai to annoy me.

With that said, i'm sure it'll get better after some patches. 2k15 started out pretty bad as well imo and eventually became one of my favorite 2k's.
