Re: I'd love to be able to control my guys on the baseline.

2K Cam: Thank you! I have been cursing the entire Xbox Series X generation for lacking my favorite cam Player Lock. It would automatically give a view on the baseline that allowed you to easily judge...

Re: AI Standing around

As well as upping Offensive Awareness, as mentioned above, you can also up the shot Tendency sliders. I had mine at 55 as a baseline from opening day in September; I started doing this a few years...

Re: NBA 2K24: The Little Things

I forgot about 1980's three-point foul-shooting rules. I am late on the close-out and make contact on a three-point attempt. I am kicking myself cuz "never foul the jump-shooter". He misses the...

Re: What does “chemistry on/off” on MyNBA ACTUALLY do? Which is better?

I'm going to hazard a guess. Da Czar mentioned Team Chemistry adding a bonus. If Team Chemistry is turned off then the bonus is not available and the game plays "vanilla" with less flavor. So, if...

Re: NBA 2K23 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES S/X & PS5)

I can definitely appreciate this observation. I have been playing for the last six months with Passing Accuracy 0 and Offensive Awareness 0 to create non-steal turnovers. I also have Offensive and...

Re: NBA 2K24 MyEras Wishlist

Regarding missing players, I would be happy with improving player creation tools. I do not have specific recommendations for the present tools because I have not created many players this cycle; the...

Re: NBA 2K23: The Little Things

Almost forgot the 1980s had only two referees on-court... noticed during an instant replay.

Re: NBA 2K23: The Little Things

Tip-ins seem improved with the last couple of patches. The two-hand catch, half alley-oop, half floater animations have driven me crazy for years. Now, I see more animations with one hand tipping the...

Re: NBA 2K23: The Little Things

Beautiful!

I had something similar with Dr. J. Doc had fallen and was way behind the play on defense. We got the turnover and immediately fired it fullcourt to him; the accuracy of the pass...

Re: NBA 2K23: The Little Things

That is exactly what I am saying. I looked at some other injured players at that time and their accessories did not aid in healing. Next chance I get, I will have to see if there is a pattern:...

Re: NBA 2K23: The Little Things

New Jersey Nets forward Buck Williams suffered an elbow tendinitis injury in 1983-84 Eras. Upon looking at the injury history, 2K Development has enabled accessories to aid in recovery. Williams had...

Re: NBA 2K23: The Little Things

Actually, that looked like the cat-and-mouse guessing game of a mentally fatigued opponent. It looked like Tatum had been wearing'em out previously, so they were walled-up to stop him even though he...

Re: NBA 2K23 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES S/X & PS5)

I am encouraged to see the majority of comments are about basketball problems and not so much about video game basketball problems. Perhaps 2K is remembering its roots. I especially love the comments...

Re: NBA 2K23 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES S/X & PS5)

You might check with ShadyMike on YouTube: He does a great job of reworking jump shot animations on his channel. I do not know if he takes requests though.

Re: NBA 2K23 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES S/X & PS5)

lol No, the Lakers are not cheating. The 80's Nuggets were the definition of run-n-gun: They gave up as many points as they scored. Alex English may have been the top mid-range scorer of the 1980's....

Fantastic! Did you do any extra setup in sliders on this? Or, is this the aforementioned individual team Help Defense slider in the 75-80 region?

Love this: An example of Luka's Defensive Awareness determining his reaction as Da Czar was saying. This is why teams gameplan to exploit Luka's defense.

Re: NBA 2K23 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES S/X & PS5)

Yeah, playing high school basketball in the pre-shot clock era was different. I went to high school in North Carolina, so every high school coach worth his salt had a delay (or stall offense) just...
