“2K Needs to Revamp the Grading System.”
Totally disagree with you on this area.* This system is so screwed up.* You constantly get dinged for things that are not your fault.* You ask for a pass when you are open but the CPU delays in passing it to you until someone is in between and then they pick the pass off.* Your fault you get a minus because you called for a bad pass, guess what, the person that passed it made a bad pass I was open when i asked for it!!!* Defensive rotations constantly give you minus grades.* Clearly there are many situations where you are getting picked and you can't get around it and its obvious their should be a switch but the guys goes right in and scores and its your fault for bad teammate switches.* That is the top most frustrating one of all.* If you are guarding a player like a SG or PG they get screens called for them all game and this will constantly happen to you.**

The game dings you for bad block attempts.* I mean what the heck, the guy is already shooting does it prefer you just stand there and watch or at the least jump up and try to distract the shot even if you are not in the best position to block.* I mean that is just stupid.* Jumping and letting a guy run around you I can understand but not the other.**

1 mistake should not cost you 3 minus grades.* For instance, you make a bad shot and fall down on the shot, so then you are late getting back on the play because it seems to take your guy 5 minutes to get up,* so you get minus sometimes 2 or 3 times while you run back for missing your assignment and if your assignment scores before you get back you can also get dinged for that too.* * Also the game will sometimes swap your assignment after substitutions and have your arrow on a guy you go to cover him and the arrow goes to the other side of the court and you get -- for missing assignment while you try and run over to the guy you didn't think you were supposed to be guarding in the first place.**

Nothing like putting up 60 points, 30+ of which you scored getting yourself open and gave your teammate an assist, have 10+ assists yourself and still end the game with a D or something team score because of all of the above issues.* Meanwhile you go to the locker room with a broken back from carrying your whole team on it the entire game.
Then there is the fact that the CPU goes right through screens so easy.* Every time I get a screen set I me if I don't see it coming and dodge it way early its like you get sucked in and stick to the player.* But if I have the ball and a teammate sets a screen for me the CPU jumps in front of it or goes right through it like Andre Drummond is a stick figure and not a 270lb dude.**

Now also add the fact that games seem scripted.* You can start a game and see sometimes that you will either blow out the other team, they will blow you out or the game will be tight the whole time.* It seems to always be one of those 3.* I played a team just now that was 1-10 and all of a sudden late in the second quarter they tied the game and were up by 2 going into the 3rd, from that point they made literally* 80+% FG's the rest of the game and 60%+ 3 pointers even when covered and won by 20+ points.* This is on All Star.**

On my second season I keep asking myself why I play MyCareer with all this frustrating stuff going on.**
