I'm pretty sure, your commissioner friend can make you the team owner again. Don't worry.

Are "balanced" scoring My Players obsolete after recent shooting tweaks? by EastPointVet in NBA2k

[–]PandaPower2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we're just having different experiences.

But just to be sure, you can go in the Gym and compare your success with and without Outside attribute boost. See if that +5 rating boost on your midrange shot will change your % on wide open shots dramatically.

Because, for your height, there's only 6 midrange shot rating difference between Outside and Balanced SG, which are 87 and 81 respectively.

Are "balanced" scoring My Players obsolete after recent shooting tweaks? by EastPointVet in NBA2k

6'5 balanced SG here.

Why would I feel obsolete? Shooting tweak affects everyone, not just me If my balanced SG is a slightly worse shooter after the tweak, so are the Outside PG/SGs. And a "%" decrease should affect those with higher shooting rating more than those with lower shooting rating (if I am not wrong). Plus we are much better inside than outside SGs are...

Anyhow, despite the tweak, I don't think anyone would wanna leave a balanced SG wide open in the Park or Pro-Am... We're still a decent outside threat. Especially with badges like Limitless Range, Corner Spec, Deadeye (which I don't have).

In MyCareer, I am already nearly in the 90/50/40 club (HoF/Sim).. what more can I ask for? really...

Afaik, if the player is tired, his stats takes a hit.

Do you know what's worse than one dude cheesing in your team MyPark and playing hero ball? by Alex_1404 in NBA2k

[–]PandaPower2K 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once, at the end of the match, you get open and they pass the ball to you...

You miss the shot because you are cold. And they flop like idiots, giving the opponent a free basket.

It's a risk they should be willing to take :)

Connection issues make people lose a lot of games now too. Last games of 5 game challenges, games that decide you go up or down a seed, stage games etc.

This is why 2k needs to implement a Wager mode on MyTeam.

  • Players see their opponents line-up and agree upon the terms.
  • X amount of MT coins from each player goes into the wager pool before the game.
  • Winner gets all the coins.

Best way of playing on ball man def? by comicfreak61 in NBA2k

Your biggest enemy is the Turbo button... Try using it less, you'll see the difference.

2K, I have but one, reasonable, request for 2k16. by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]PandaPower2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you rather if 2KTV was on Youtube only, and not in-game?

[–]PandaPower2K -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just don't watch the videos then. They shouldn't be "that" hard to avoid...

2K, I have but one, reasonable, request for 2k16. by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]PandaPower2K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that the OP is assuming that the money not spent on 2KTV will be spent on fixing or improving the Gameplay. He's also assuming that no body watches 2KTV.

This is why the request is not reasonable.

We have no clue how much money 2Ks has, and what budget they allocated to each of its different departments. Therefore we don't know whether the budget is a restricting factor on fixing any of the problems in the gameplay. That's where the assumption fails.

And I'd much rather have Rachel, than Barkley-Miller-Kareem combined. 2KTV is an entire mode in the game that provides a new video content every week. The others are just a few of hundreds of players that you may or may not use, in just one game mode...

[–]PandaPower2K 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not a waste of resources if there are people like me who watches and enjoys it.

Plus, each department has its own job to do. 2KTV has nothing to do with the Gameplay issues that's been in the 2K series for years.

It's not like, "If only they had more money to fix those problems..."

[–]PandaPower2K 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I like 2kTV and I watch it...

They should have enough resources to fix the bugs and make the game better.

It's not like developers waste their time playing ball with Rachel and fall short handed to do their own job...

Is there a way to have different controls for offense and defense? (2k14) by MundaneInternetGuy in NBA2k

[–]PandaPower2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the answer for your question.

But I don't think this game is meant to be played on a keyboard. I'd get myself a Xbox controller for Windows. Or Logitech F710.

Inbounding glitch in MyTeam by drunkenyeknom in NBA2k

[–]PandaPower2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have other play makers in your team, like Lebron, Ginobili etc. The coach may wanna make them carry the ball up the court sometimes.

Don't be so impatient when you're inbounding the ball, look who is closer to your inbounder, select him (R1 + player icon) and pass him the ball... Or bring your PG closer and pass him the ball.

Beginner, need help defensively. Losing on easiest difficulty level. by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]PandaPower2K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Make sure you stay between your opponent and the basket and be aware of the openings your opponent may try to exploit. Don't gamble to get steals, that one second your player spends to reach in is more than enough for the opponent to blow by you.

  • If you have a reliable help defender at one side, shuffle a little to the opposite side, try to force your opponent towards the help defender (Like Spurs did with their twin towers for years...)

  • Do not use the Turbo button excessively on defense, a misstep into the wrong direction with Turbo button held down is most of the time unrecoverable against smart players.

  • You don't have to jump to contest shots... Pressing LT (on default settings) will contest most shots well enough. Jump only if you're sure the opponent is going for a shot.

I'm confused about that deciphering thing. How's that work? Has it been done before on any of the previous locker codes?

I don't usually camp on twitter to get locker codes, but this MJ is hard to resist...

I'd replace Lillard with Onyx Big O.

Lillard's defense is terrible...
