Improvements to My Player.

It extremely frustrating when you have to run a play with your team and it's not going for some reason, so your teammate holds the ball at the 3-pt line until the shot clock is about to run out and jacks up fadeaway 3s. Sometimes they takes 3s from well beyond the 3-pt line. On a fast break, the CPU sometimes opts to take a jump shot rather than get an easy layup on a clear path. These are just some of the things that are broken in My Player that 2K has to really fix.

Without a doubt these things need to be addressed. I just give the dev team the benefit of the doubt that they are aware of the major things like AI issues.

I think ppl r gonna regret what they are asking for.

Its 82 games in a season...y do u want the progression slower...however want I want is more off the court stuff like contracts agents...a free agency period more endorsements interviews etc....on the court I would like for the offense to be more balanced..when my player is Good enough I want them to start running more plays for me

Because it realistic. Going from the worst player to the best in one season is really improbable almost impossible.

If you want things like contracts you plain on playing for multiple years right? If you don't start the game so physically inept there would be no need for the huge progression through the out the season.

Two things stopped me from playing myplayer.

1. You start out way to low, and get better and playing tine way to fast.

2. No matter how good they are, your teammates suck no matter what. Players like Kobe and Lebron will go 2 - 15 when you're on the court missing absurd gimmes.

Also it irked me I'm a 30 ovr player getting drafted at the end of the first round. Basically the mode needs a more realistic overhaul......and more sneakers with better colorways.

Oh yeah this exists in all other modes of the game, but at least in Association, you can control the substitutions. The CPU is terrible at substituting in lineups that make sense. This usually happens in the 4th quarter.

With the Heat, sometimes the team ran this:
PG: Mario Chalmers
SG: Me (I'm a PG normally)
SF: Dwyane Wade
PF: Mike Miller
C: James Jones

When I was with the Wizards, they also loved to put Josh Howard at PF and Al Thornton at C. Also, with that team, they decided to start Javale Mcgee but only play him 6 minutes per game.. Meaning the center position would mostly be played by Andray Blatche and Al Thornton (wtf).

The CPU coach needs to rest your player a bit more. My rotation shows me at 41 minutes a game. That should translate to a 1 minute break each half (5 minute quarters). But often I only rest for 1 minute in the first half and are then forced to play the entire second half nonstop.

In press conferences, it would be nice to see the actual responses you can make rather than just the 4 categories.

Increase teammate three point shooting. They cannot hit threes at all right now. Chauncey Billups is an 83 rated 3pt shooter. He is shooting 29% on the season.

Sometimes a player far away from me who I'm not even assigned to will score, and I will get docked points for letting my man score. Not a huge issue, but a head-scratcher.

I love My Player mode, these are just a few small issues that can be improved quickly.

I would like to be able to tell the team to trade players on my team. The team chemistry is getting wrecked right now because Nate Robinson is at -11, and Kendrick Perkins is at -9 because they are so pissed off at their playing time. At least one of them needs to be traded.

Problem with how computer does subs: In the fourth quarter, the computer tends to just put the 5 highest rated players on the court, regardless of matchups. It meant that last season, my teams lineup was

1 Russel Westbrook
2 Kevin Durant
3 Serge Ibaka
4 Elton Brand
5 My guy

Also, the computer greatly prefers playing a power-forward as a 3 than a tall 2 guard as a 3. We have a 57 or something overall rookie PF who goes in at small forward. The team has like 8 guards, there is no reason for that.

Depth Chart currently is
1 Wetbrook/Robinson/Udrih/Maynor
2 Harden/Sefolosha/Robinson/Rush
3 Durant/Ibaka/Rookie/Sefolosha
4 Ibaka/Brand
5 Me/Perkins

It should be
1 Westbrook/Robinson/Udrih/Maynor
2 Harden/Rush/Robinson
3 Durant/Stefalosha
4 Ibaka/Brand/Rookie Kid
5 Me/Perkins

We still have too many guards, but this way better players are getting more minutes.


So, I guess the point of all that was that the computer's Substitution and Trade AI either needs to be fixed, or the player needs to have some way to check it.

i just want my teammates to play good man. I could care less if the CPU still does all that trash on Hall Of Fame, but if my teammates are somewhat good i know i'd be satisfied.

I want to know exactly what i'm going to say before i press the button for responses during press confrences

Contracts

Feel free to have the GM trade me without me asking

No asking for trade until you have some sort of star power
