why does 2k hate dirk? (cg)

[bo.jangles344]

Year in, year out, I play my career hoping to get on my favorite team and year after year, or best player, ends up being one of the worst. I have edited dirk to make him more realistic but it seems even with boosts to his stamina, low post offense, and even bumping his consistency, nothing. It is hilarious to me that centers like Dwight Howard or Greg oden have better turn around jumpers than dirk. Not only do they go in more often, but it seems this year dirks patented shot gets blocked more often than it goes in. Can someone please help me understand why my favorite player is the only "star" in this league that sucks worse than most backups? Right now Dirk is averaging 14ppg on 43% from the field. Appalling.

He did say it was his my player career.

I have to agree with OP on this one. Dirk is incredibly hard to use, his jumper is ridiculously cumbersome and it shouldn't take that much 'skill' to use an elite player imo. This is coming from a diehard bulls fan by the way. I was happy when I got him in MyTeam, but ended up selling him because I was waaay too inconsistent with him. Sucks because I really wanted him on the team.

It's so bad it almost seems like a glitch. I made a PF that got drafted to the Mavs. Everyone played like themselves but Dirk was HORRIBLE. Conspicuously so. He wouldn't take open threes. Rarely made a move in the post. He was actually shooting 50% but only averaging about 8ppg and there were no plays drawn up for him. We had a winning record and My Player was quickly becoming the best PF/C in the league, but Monta Ellis was our best player that wasn't me.

My 2nd character got drafted to the Bulls and Derrick Rose is a beast, playing exactly like himself if not better. He's 2nd in the league in scoring and bails us out of several bad plays. It's like night and day.

And you know.. It wouldn't be so bad if the difference between monta and Dirk was so vast. Monta plays exactly as he should. He's a much improved shooter this season and they nailed his tendencies cutting to the basket and finishing with either hand or drawing the foul. Dirk just stands there looking at the basket or totally bricks the shoot. I wouldn't be so mad if the pick and pop game worked. Dirk is one of it not the best midrange shooting big man in the history of the league. How do you drop that ball?
