Never, ever saw this. I never had a problem with centers tossing up 3's. Did we play the same game? I have the PC NBA2K and I never saw this.
I turn player roles off so I never saw this problem and never knew their was one. But we did have the option to turn roles off.
Still not anywhere near the problems that Madden is released with.
The only significant problem I had with MLB2K was lineups being changed by the CPU because of injury management. That was the only significant problem I had with MBL2K PC. Still not the same number of issues that Madden is released with. Now I've never had The Show because it only comes out on console (why I always got MLB2K), so I might have a different view of MLB2k if I had tried The Show. I am tempted.
Still, other released are not as buggy as Madden.
