    Re: NBA 2K14: Points of Emphasis Guide

    I feel like 2k just added POE's to dumb things down and because they have limited time to add in depth coach profiles and individual assignments. I don't buy it that they are trying to change things up at all. Honestly POE's are just a hybrid of coach profile sliders and quick defensive/offensive assignments. I think we are making them more than what they really are. I feel like we have enough information on the topic to make a thesis on it (myself included) when in reality we are just overlooking things.

      They were there when the game launched...so it doesn't make any sense that it was about time....

      Also, when you "dumb something down", that means your making it easier...and that's definitely not what the POE's do....lol. I simply think it was a swing and a miss by the dev team..

      The concept of POE's were pretty much in the CG version of the game....I used them quite often...but they would also work in tandem with the coach profiles and individual assignments...that's the biggest issue here to me...

        Thanks for the clarification, i do agree with the minority of people, POE has to go, or if it remains we need to have the individual assignments back

Example Allen Crabbe has a 78 3pt shot on Portland, however I rarely miss with him because he gets such open shots because the game will never respect his shot. Thus he gets much better looks than say Wesley Matthews, and makes more shots despite being a 77 3pt shooter.


          Problem with this is Crabbe cannot consistently win games for you over and again even if he does get hot at times his role player status will end up rearing it's head.

            Worst game ever lost.

            Forum is full of these whining players that don't want to get better but blame the game for their ineptitude. Sad we get easy games because of these people. Newsflash POE has worked for me from day one. Had games where I have come back from 20 or more down on 12 min qtrs. Maybe get better instead of blaming game why your garbage.
            I agree 100% with you, the POE works perfectly and add a strategic component to the game.

              If you turn POE off .. is that necessarily a bad thing?

                  Yup, ME too.
                  I have come back from being down by 20 pts or more in 12 min qtrs.

                  But I hate to break it to you - it's not because of our skills, or the POE menu.

                  It is is because of NBA 2K's "Rubberband" AI that provides a "Miracle Rally", which is meant to keep the games close & entertaining.

                    I like that it takes away the guy who double-teams every ball handler and plays unrealistic defense. I think it does stink when you try to play tight on a Ray Allen and loose on a Rajon Rondo. There is less individual player scouting report impact, but team-wide defense is pretty realistic. Good on the sticks means good D.
