Ballhogs

[Maligx]

I literally get more SP when I'm in a game where people pass the ball around and we lose than winning with some ballhogging piece of **** doing iso the whole time scoring easily on his own doing dunks or layups.

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.

surprisingly 75% of the games i play its not that much ball hogging. but then again as long as im winning i'm fine and my player is maxed already

Re: Ballhogs

This is the reason why EA made a second mode in Pro-AM. One in which you can play with CPU and control what they do. Summer circuit is perfect for experiencing Pro-AM without ball hogs. Since the CPU's actions on your team can be triggered to pass or shoot by you. So instead of raging about ball hogs how about exploring and putting time into the Summer Circuit side of Pro-AM!

Summer circuit doesn't force you to play with other humans? I've played plenty of summer circuit games but it always forces other humans to join. Is it possible to only play with CPU?

Yes. You select play with friends once you choose the Summer Circuit. Then don't invite anyone, don't open it up to the public, and press start to launch the game with CPU teammates. Once in game use A to pass when a CPU teammate has the ball to you, or X for them to shoot a pass given from you.

Re: Ballhogs

Can't make people play with sense but ball hogs should be punished on the grading scale

wow just played 2 games with just cpu teammates.. SO MUCH BETTER. I ended up with like 6800 pro-am points easily beating cpu team. I lost so many times against these cpu teams with ball hogging humans. This is incredible.

Re: Ballhogs

Lol, I was thinking about making this thread myself.

The ball hogging is unbearable at times, but every now and then you'll find a squad that shares the basketball and it's a thing of beauty.

It's just too bad that ball hogging isn't penalized in this game.

I had to take a break from playing because I went like 5 games in a row where I only attempted about three field goals (total), smh.

Re: Ballhogs

I play as a rim protecting center and don't care when I don't get the ball but when you see me open under the rim by my damn self that pisses me off. This idiot wouldn't pass me the ball multiple times while I was wide open under the rim.

Re: Ballhogs

Ball Hogging is penalized. -6 points for each missed shot if the user is detected to be Hogging.

Also, I believe there are some teammate grade fixes coming in the day 1 patch. Remember, its still just the demo

Re: Ballhogs

Edit: sorry, forgot to clarify, its -6 teammate grade points that they receive. Teammate grade is a big factor in how much SP you earn, so the penalty does sting a bit.

Re: Ballhogs

I didn't know there was a ball hog penalty...guess that's a good thing that I've played 20+ matches and never received it...

Its a **** move, but sometimes I purposely get a 3 second call to wake them up if they ignore me wide open under the basket...lol

good to know this, how do you start a game again with just cpu?
