Yeah...choose play with friends then choose open to public. Last 5 Games I Played With One Other human team mate all games. Rest were cpu teammates. Must more fun. Less lag too.

Since I cannot do **** on offense to increase my team grade I try playing good defense and I do but live's fail system rarely recognizes my good defense. There are so many possessions where I "force" my intellectually challenged opponent to take a bad shot and do I get rewarded ? NOPE. There are even times on offense where I set picks and my ballhogging teammate score off of it and again I'm not rewarded. I was averaging 4k+ pro-am points for a while but then all the 10 year olds kept showing up and my pro am grade avg tanked. I had games where I barely got a few hundred. Oh and the worst ballhogs are the ones who only take contested shots the entire time when there are 2 other teammates WIDE OPEN. I give up. I played the **** out of 2k15 and I will give props to EA for their servers. Most games I didn't notice much lag, such an improvement over whatever fail servers 2k is running.

I'm just going to come out and say it -- there are a lot of 2K15 low basketball IQ cheesers that are migrating to the Live 16 demo since 2K15 is dead. I think this problem will rectify when 2K16 drops. They will go back to the 2K series and I think Live will attract a more serious crowd who wants to play team ball.

I'm a 2K fan but I grew up with NBA Live, so I'll support both titles. However, I recognize which community is probably responsible for the more frustrating experiences.

P.S. EA servers are much better than 2K so far, I agree. No lag here.

No joke. The other guy offers assertions but no actual evidence.

I play the other game religiously, and I ain't no ball hog.

My assertion, for which i offer no evidence, is that the divide is between online players who have actually played basketball under a good coach in the real world, and everyone else.

Those under the first group *will tend* to play Live Run the right way and not ball hog. (They'll also tend to create players that aren't shooters or slashers, but rather bigs, stretch fours, etc.) Those in the other group will tend to play ugly, selfish basketball.

It's probably bad to generalise but they may be more right then wrong more often than not. For example, I've received 3 messages on psn from different people who claimed I was a "beast" player because I like to rebound and pass instead of shoot. I only score 2.5 points on MyPark yet i'm called a beast. haha

Again, people who have played Live more would know that taking a contest corner three will not do you any good
