Just making ribs look good, get my bro some trade offers!

I like how my starters played though.. we all know they're gonna rain threes in BAF though so not worried bout that. 2K is def about the stars so I don't think I'd play well against guys with superstars.

yeah 2K is very much just putting your head down spamming the R1 button and guys with size that can dribble.

Not many plays to get open 3's or post ups even.

Embiid barely touched the ball for NE. When the SIM feeds bigs.

When you simulate games in 2k (not watching just simulating), Embiid and other star bigs put up their usual big numbers.

Watching the computers battle against each other is a different story :lol:

curious question why is simulating and watching two CPU's go at it so different? Seems like it should be the same engine no?

Simulating seems to be heavily based on stats and ratings like ours while CPU is based mostly on 2k's gameplay of the actual game if that makes sense

I gotcha. 2k all about dribbling around until you get into the paint.

Actual simming more ratings and numbers driven.

Yeah, that's why I would never make snap decisions based on 2K actual gameplay but the sim stuff I might for sure. I remember Luke Kornet absolutely destroying me last year. :lol:
