The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.
Just give me a filter for online play now so I won't have to deal with this crap. Just match all the Warriors players up with each other and they can have 3 point contest while I play real basketball with other people
Or just a 'cancel match' button. That would always be nice lol.
We'll see. I might play some GSW users in the beginning just to have the experience of playing against them. However, I'll probably stop playing against them after the first week. I can't see a team of that caliber having any real weaknesses, and it would take mostly perfect basketball to beat the consistently.
They better allow me to leave in the team selection team because I'm tired of playing the cavs/warriors. Also they need to permanently show what uniform the other player is using. So tired of both teams wearing home uniforms.
Curry abused absolutely everyone in switches in the regular season. His knee strain clearly bothered him in the playoffs. All of a sudden he couldn't blow past guys like Steven Adams who he had no trouble with in the regular season. Yes, Tristan Thompson did a good job in the finals, but this was a guy torching Kawhi Leonard on switches in the regular season.
Plays like that in real life though. Maybe not literally barging to the rim, but he goes up strong at the rim and takes a lot of contact.
This. Curry was destroying whatever teams could throw at him, and sudden couldn't even shoot a isolation step back over centers without getting blocked. That doesn't happen with a healthy Curry. Yet the narrative is that switching was the magical solution to stopping him.
Curry lost the explosion he needed to dominate with his knee sprain, which was serious enough to take him out of an easy run for an Olympic gold medal.
This article worries me a lot. For starters, he says after winning the jump ball, the first shot of the game was Curry pulling up from 40ft. That is not at all realistic. He generally only shoots those shots when he's in a rhythm or to try and stop a run. And this makes it sound like he will be able to consistently drain 30+ footers throughout the game. In real life, he averaged less than one attempt from >28ft per game.
Switching is what stopped Curry in the WCF and the Finals. Yes, most big men will have trouble, but some should be able to guard him.
Yea I'm hoping he's just exaggerating with the 40 ft talk, but Steph should be unstoppable.
I don't want to make excuses for him but that injury in the playoffs seemed to be the main reason why he couldn't beat big guys off the dribble.
He killed teams that tried to switch the pick n roll during the regular season, I want to see that reflected in the game.
2K11 was the sixth iteration on last gen (360, PS3) and I think once a new system comes out it really takes some years to master their craft. I already think the game is pretty damn good but definitely needs some improving in certain areas. I think 2K17 or 18 will be one of those classics that we speak of like we do 2K11 and 2K5 (well it's a classic to me).
I hope the curry is fast thing is overreacting.. Curry isn't really fast as a Westbrook or Rose or Wall.. He is quick, but shifty.. There's a difference.

It's called choking under pressure. Sorry. He severely missed about 5 threes in the last minute or so of game 7.
Really? Because he lead everyone in the playoffs in clutch scoring.
One bad game doesn't erase all other clutch scoring you've done.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But when the entire championship is dependent on getting one bucket.. and he forces up 5 ****ters in a row and some ugly turnovers.. While giving up the game winning shot by Kyrie.. It really sort of does. Sorry. He chose to try and be the hero and came up short, I'm sure he knows that.
And I'm a fan of Curry's game, but that's how the sport works. It's the big moments that define it not stats.
If someone has a wide open fast break layup to win the game, and he botches it, you don't go 'oh but he lead both teams in assist/turnover ratio and scored well all series'. Sure it may be true, but that moment was what really counted.
