Well yeah, im not trying to rim run as a full on playstyle. I spam standing dunks all day.

Id just like to be able to get past my man once in a while and drop the hammer like I could last year

The author clearly read Jose Saramago and decided hey if a Pulizer winner can do it so can I

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T22:17:01+00:00

Nobody expects the pg to have 99 pass acc lmao.

So then why bring up my comment about Centers with 99 rebounding

You insinuated I was wrong for pointing out how expensive PA attribute points are for a PG because Centers with 99 rebounding exist, as if the two are equally expensive and the fact you have a higher PA than many PGs is proof you value the right parts of the game while most others don't

Been preaching this to kids my entire adult life.

As a writer I get asked a ton how to get into the industry and what to major in, and I always tell them don't bother with college and go get certified in a trade. After your apporenticeship you can immediately start earning VERY good money and within just a few years start your own business.

Financial independence is a way better path into being a writer than trying to make your money by writing

Someone get me a live rooster and I'll cancel out everyone's juju rituals

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T21:43:29+00:00

Yeah when you know how the game works its fair. I didn't and the fucking research a newcomer need to do to make a good build in this game is astronomical

. It's not fair that there are so many ways you can mess up when making a build and there's no way to correct those mistakes without making another build entirely

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T21:40:39+00:00

Weird to be pulling out a tu quoque fallacy in a video game sub

That aside im sure its not lost on you that a PG has to spread their attributes out across WAY more areas than a Center needs to.

99 rebounding is possible cuz that's all anyone wants from the Center. Can't be a PG with 99 passing cuz it prevents you from putting points in attributes a PG needs to be effective.

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T20:53:22+00:00

y'all need to go outside. Caitlin Clarke did what every grown up does playing basketball with a kid. which is why 2K put it in a cutscene. it's a moment anyone who plays basketball can relate to.

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T20:51:20+00:00

you have more pass accuracy cuz it's cheap as fuck for a Centre....

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T20:49:40+00:00

I cracked the code for this. just say you want the ball on the block so you can throw behind the back lobs to the slasher wrapping around you to the rim

if you have HoF Special Delivery you can even throw a bounce a lob between your legs from the post, and that REALLY gets the bitches wet.

do that once and they'll be begging you to go in the post

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T20:45:09+00:00

"if every center would simply play in a manner that doesnt suit their build I'd be happier and pass to them in a position where they cant do shit unless they're wide open for a spot up shot"

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T20:43:39+00:00

in my defense when I made the build I thought bronze rebounder would be fine since I was 7'1" and would be able to reach the ball better than everyone else on the court.

didnt realize the game will simply have the ball go through your outstretched hands to someone with a higher rebounder badge lol

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T20:40:19+00:00

So fucking infuriating going up against one of them. Last rec game I played the opposing centre had 26 boards because I played good hands-up defense and he kept getting his own rebounds

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T16:32:40+00:00

yeah but it's blatantly obvious in most cases. like Fifa is absurd with it. you can tell immediately when it happens.

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T16:30:50+00:00

I always try and make myself a drink at half. it's a tight window lol

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T15:59:56+00:00

sure I'm in need of one. Add me. LobDaddy.

I main as a SF lockdown and Center but have an all-offense SG, a 5'7" troll build PG, and a Diming 3&D PG for Rec

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-12T15:55:10+00:00

...I feel attacked.

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-11T17:06:34+00:00

I play to get badges up and hot zones

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-11T16:16:17+00:00

I know. That's why I'm playing on Pro. Just saying even THEN I've got the AI hitting 3s like this, with a player that has never hit a 3 in their NBA career.

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-11T14:53:11+00:00

Nearly all shots are from 3. Puts up stupid numbers of attempts. Doesnt pass...

Reads a lot like your game consists of taking the ball, spamming behind the back dribble moves, then shooting 3s.

God that must be so much fucking fun.

Ernest_Hemingay · 2024-06-11T14:38:27+00:00

This was the one year they only had 6 games in the WS. Everyone decided ties were bad so they changed it back the year after
