Didn't even know this badge existed until today, but I just earned the hall of fame badge: catch and shoot/off dribble.

Yes, my player is a beast.

I've got a 93 OVR 6'3 playmaking PG. have all five of my hall of fame badges and the grand master badge (what a grind that was smh).

In our 70+ pro-am games I average about 10 points and 13 assists per game.

We have a very solid pg, sf, PF and c. Could use a back up big or a solid SG to really get our team going. Maybe even find ourselves in the top 100.

Let me know if anyone wants to run.

. we could use a stretch big, too!

We have a 7'1 glass cleaner and a 7'1 rim protector. we do well, but sometimes we struggle with floor spacing and have trouble guarding stretch bigs.

I've just started getting into pro-am.

I didn't know it gives you a pretty good amount of park rep as well. I'm 6-4 playing walk-on games. 13pts/11 reb/ 2 blocks per game.

Trying to get on a decent pro-am team, but most of my friends just play park.

If you need a 3&D Sharpshooter. Let me know. Ive been looking for a regular team. I keep getting dinged statistically because my games cancel before they even start.

I heard a lot of people were having issues with the servers like this. Some of the top pro am teams aren't even playing because one or more players are getting bounced before the game starts.

It happened to me a bunch last night. Some think it's the newest patch that is at fault.

Pain in the ass, no doubt. Killing my stats lol.

I haven't played the game in awhile and played again last night. Don't know if it got worse after some sort of update, but it feels like it has. If I'm running at a player with the ball as a defender, it will go into some weird mechanic where I run away from the ball like somewhere off in the opposite direction. Which I have no control over, and then the CPU of course takes advantage and makes an open shot. Or trying to play defense off the ball, the defender turns his back at the wrong times and it is just not proper defense, even if you are in perfect position where you are supposed to be. Stuff like this was never a problem in the past 2k's (although they had their own set of problems).

Even before any patch, if you tried to close out on a defender it would make you go really slow for no reason and you would be too late. Or if you take off on a fast break, you would go really slow (even with full turbo) and wouldn't manage to get ahead of the defense for easy points in a situation you clearly should. And my personal favorite this year, you try dribbling to an open spot on the floor, the defender is playing normal defense, and then you get called for a charge. Even if you barely hit turbo for a split second. Pure BS. Never a problem in the past. They always had that right that it would only happen if you were holding turbo for awhile and ran over someone dead on. Now it is just way way off. The one positive thing that has seemed to change from the early stages of this game (that was once again, done better in the past) is that every freakin pass doesn't get stolen. It was frustrating when someone was clearly wide open and the defense would pick it off out of nowhere. Also, people lose the ball way too much on this game trying to catch a pass.




Played the Warriors vs OKC match up against CPU on All Star difficulty. I was OKC of course. Things were going mostly fine. I had a 10 point lead going into the 4th looking like an easy victory. Than the BS happens. Steph banks a three straight on, not even at an angle for god's sake. They make every single three they take. And the kicker, they got fouled on every single shot they took inside. But that isn't the bad part, they made every shot they got fouled on and got the and-1. It probably happened 10 times in a 5 minute quarter. I couldn't get fouled to save my life inside, and if I did, I didn't make the basket. I lost, by like 6. I normally don't give a crap about games I play against the CPU, but I was pissed. It was so rigged. So so rigged. I should have saved the replay but I was so mad I didn't bother.


I'm starting to regret buying this game, at least for full price on a digital download that I can't sell. It is nice to have for the new rosters and it is fun messing around on in certain game modes, but this is the worst iteration of the game so far in my opinion from a gameplay perspective. It is a lot more frustrating than enjoyable.
