Two games with Orlando, and one with Dallas. What's the point in having 5 tiers if you get 2 wins no matter what lower tier you face? For example, You only get 2 extra wins for beating a tier 1 team with a tier 5 team. It's absolutely no reason for me to play against a team more then one tier above me.

That's what I like. The slipping and sliding on defense has been addressed. There's a little bit, but it doesn't take me clean out of the play. Also, the perimeter bumping is just fine. It's enough to slow down the ball handler or make them pick up the ball if they're too reckless or aggressive. However, a good user can still create separation with stick skills.

Ok. For the guys at work and who can't play until tonight.

I've compiled some info via youtube videos and info from here.

Tiers/Tier filtering - we now have 5 tiers not 3 tiers, you can filter up to one tier above you only. That's it. So a tier 1 team has no option to filter, tier 2 can filter from 1 down, tier 3 from 2 down, tier 4 from 3 down and tier 5 from 4 down.

Jersey selection - yes, you can change your jersey and see your opponents jersey at the team select screen.

Signature highlights - These don't work, offline they finally work this year but for online ranked.

Pre-game loading screens stats - same as last year, advantage %, picture of your my player, top 3 offense and defense scouting reports

dashboarding - this is the only non clear part right now. Some say they get Loses now, others say still don't ?? Not sure, it might depend on when you dashboard, this will need more investigating.

team rankings - see page 3 of this thread. I picture was posted showing all the teams rankings.

Maybe I misunderstood the filtering. I thought you can only filter one above you. Tier 1 & 2 are pretty much stuck. Tier 3 users can elect to only play Tier 2 teams and below. Tier 4 users can play only Tier 3 teams and below. Tier 5 users can play only Tier 4 teams and below.

I didn't get any stats on my opponent when I played my one game.

EDIT: Never mind. You described it right. When you added Tier 2 users, it threw me off. It had me thinking that I could filter to play only Tier 2 teams and below.

Am I the only one that can't hear the shot clock when it's running down?

And unfortunately the Team Comparison at the end of the game no longer shows how many points you've scored in a quarter. Imm a huge stats guy so that's pretty dissapointing.

Highlights have never been an option online, so it's not a question on whether they work online or not.

Edit: Now I remember - I had a 360 with a small hard drive, that's why I never got signature highlights.

You sure? They added it to the box scores where you can check individual performances now. I thought I scrolled through the team comparison, but maybe I just assumed it worked.

No, your right. It's the way I wrote it. Tier 2 can filter from tier 1 down....therefor no filtering.

Didn't they work on 2k14 on ps4 ? Thought they did. Maybe 2k13 on ps3 was the last time.
