Whatever they did to change game has random lag after momentum plays insteas of timeouts (coding), and shooting has been broken.

I have to spam euro steps and spins into paint now. Plays for 3s are useless befause shooting has been broken.

Plays in general are less effective because players are not worried about open shots.

HAve used same team all year.

I'm sure they had a meeting just like this. They don't change things just because.

This is so not true. I use floaters all the time. The release point is so easy. Especially if you have a good finished. I'm playing on HOF offline and in PNO. I'll try to add some to the video.

The video I'm working on. It's an online game I played from last night. And it's the 2001 Nets team. I run their default sets and plays. My opponent tries doing the same zig zag more over and over. By the third time. He's down by 9. The lead goes 17-2. He's still trying to zig zag. I was moving the ball around with simple freelance and my players were banging down 3's (some are contested ones), fast break, layups, and dunks. Just need to mention I haven't played a online game in about 2 weeks. Hopefully I can work on this video and post it up soon.

What you mean by Spam?

Should’ve added I’m Referring to pro am at SF . I’m sure it’s fine I’m Play now or at the guard spot. SFs in pro am don’t get as high speed with ball , etc.. as SFs in the nba roster.

That’s why when the guy I quoted mentioned pro am I said they were trash . They are nicer on speedy players though

I'd be interested in seeing some videos. I struggle with floaters but I'm pretty certain it's because I don't understand how they work in 2K. The release often seems slow and deliberate for me and I have a hard time figuring out when they'd work best.

A lot of times it seems like I'd be better off pulling up for a jumper or just getting all the way to the rim. When I do use floaters, it often seems to give the defense time to close out and contest better. But again, I think it's because I don't know how to use them best in this game.

I probably hit a floater or two a game, especially with Tony back.

They come in handy in one on one transition situations when the defensive player is back and plants in front of of the goal...this is PNO though...

Man everyone here is crazy. He said in his video that this issue makes post play trash, but I dominate in the post like the big Aristotle. Here is a video montage of me dominating the post!!

What? You're telling me in that play, James Harden should give up an easy layup for a 3?

Especially with Lebron coming from baseline to help? That's almost a guaranteed turnover, what with all the traffic between him and the corner.

The right play here would've been for Harden to dunk it, but he's not usually a dunker, more a flailer, so for him to go up for a layup to look for contact is realistic.

Harden is a 70% layup maker this year, contested or not. So for him to miss an easy layup when there's basically no pressure is highly unrealistic in my view.
