I'm playing as Harden's replacement in OKC and it's a blast. I don't like taking all the shots and prefer being more of a role player, so having Durant and Westbrook to take the heavy load on offense is really great.

I really really want to continue my Hornets myLeague but 2K and/or Sony are **** us EU players over by not releasing the patch in our zone yet. I really want to continue but I just can't play knowing that the game's little flaws have been corrected and that I don't have the fix yet... So in the meantime I'm binging on myCareer even though I find that much less amusing than playing with my beloved Hornets. Still, if we beat the Blazers newt time out we're advancing to the WCF, can't wait!

i seriously hate this Hawks team, not sure if its because I'm playing on the hardest setting but they are pathetic.

Milsap couldn't score on Denvers Lawson. Took his time posting him up and still missed.
I drive in, draw the player and dump to Milsap who just has sink the lay up, but there is Lawson again, all 5'11 of him scaring him out of the shot.

the defence is worse, I knock the ball free at half court and scramble for it. my opponent gets it and drives to the basket where the rest of my team are set up on D. They just stand there and watch him lay it in.

if you don't do everything yourself, you dont win

I hated Milsap, i made the team trade him. Got Batum for him, i was quite happy. I just asked for them to trade Al, i want a defensive/rebounding center to replace him.

Defense is definitely bad, i wasn't protecting the rim so well we would suck, also doesn't help that the team has zero shot blockers besides me. Also horrible in transition defense.

I hate it when they dont shoot when they're open, Kyle Korver has been wide open and just stood there. I don't like to carry the offense, prefer to focus on defense and rebounding.

In other news, Lance is shooting around 50% on threes, i goaltended Dwight about 10 times (last game). I cant shoot FT's anymore (down to 74%, was at 83%) and Al is shooting FT's like Bismack.

[Diop]

yeah Korver sucks, hardly shoots the open 3, seriously reminds me of hendo.

i picked this team thinking they would be good for assists, passing to the likes of Korver, Ballsap and Horford.

but nope. they just suck.

why when I play point guard that my team mates always wait till I press pass then run behind an opponent. becoming a turnover king

oh my god. is that still happening in 2Ks? (haven't played since like 2k13)

it really is the worst thing. you can't properly run a fast-break.

Happens in half court too. I'll pass to a guy open in the corner and mid pass animation he darts to the basket behind a defender and the ball gets stolen.

I'm also a big fan of when I try to pass it into the post and my player tries a bounce bass which hits my defender immediately in the legs and they pick it up and get an easy fast break bucket.

[HornetJail]

Go to the Suns IMO. All the perimeter scoring is taken care of and you only have Plumlee to steal your boards, which he won't do.

[HornetJail]

Last post was inresponse to this

I am a free agent after this season, i dont know if i'll resign.

Teams im interested in joining, Denver,Suns, Rockets,Warriors.

I won't join another team i have played for in a 2k game, Dallas twice or more, Hawks twice (counting this time), Knicks, Grizzles (my best player ever), Lakers for a little, Portland and Miami. I think thats all.

oh yeah thats a killer as well. my big is wide open underneath the basket, just got to pass around my opponent to get him the ball.
press pass and my player tries the sneaky pass it through my opponents chest move. yeah that will get there.

So I just got this game for Christmas...can someone explain to me why the **** the last name "Pollard" is blocked due to inappropriate language? I start typing it in and it shows up in the second panel by the time I get to "O." The announcer even says it out loud when I select it, but then...

"This name contains inappropriate language and cannot be used."

The hell?

[fatlever]

same thing happened to me. what the hell is wrong with the name Craig McVagpounder?

Wow! I'm shocked that "Pollard" gets through the RGM language filter and shows in a post!!

You have such a filthy mouth BoB!!

[BlackOutBuzz]

Heh, I narrowed it down to "Polla," which apparently in Spanish means...




Penis.

OK, so I finally got around to starting my career on 2k15. Made a 6'6" SG, 3PT specialist. I am basically PJ Hairston. Drafted by the Suns. About 5 games in, I am the 6th man playing about 25 mins a night while shooting a pathetic 30% of the field (95% of which are 3s). Every SP has been put into the 3PT stat, which is up to 80. However, I still can't throw it in the ocean. Anyone have any suggestions for a shooting form to use? Right now I have used #6 and #7, tried quick, normal and slow release on all, nothing working. Is it worth saving up for the 1500 SP "Catch and Shoot" perk? I am averaging about 9ppg and 4rpg so far thru 5 games.

2k15 logic. I. Thomas is starting over Dragic. Dragic is only playing about 5-10 minutes a game. Thomas and Green are both averaging about 25ppg. The Suns only have Plumlee as the only big man. Tolliver is the back up center. No idea what happened to Len.

Also on the topic of shooting... lots of people online saying its worth it to pay the money for an NBA player's shot. For some reason, they NBA guys seem to go green more often then the generic guys. Is that true? What are some good, easy 3pt shots to buy? I keep seeing Vince Carter and Tony Parker being mentioned.

I use Steph's shot on my MyPlayer, release is basically a tap of the button. My favorite thing to do is run into my defender, push him out of bounds on the baseline, then dart back to the perimeter to brick a three.

You need to shoot green if not near green on nearly every shot. Never shoot red. Have the shot meter on while you learn your shot. People talk smack about how you should turn it off, but trust me, after numerous online games and 4 99 overall players- I can tel you to use that ****.

Paul Pierce and Carmelo Anthony's shots both have tell's in their animation to help you release on time. So do some of the more ridiculous shots.

Yup. and for some reason that idiot Hornacek keeps giving me minutes over Dragic and Bledsoe. The game seems to hate Dragic, Bledsoe, Markieff and Plumlee, while loving Isaiah Thomas and Gerard Green. Green is now averaging 27ppg on over 50%. He is a GUN. He was 8-for-30 in the last game. We got destroyed as a result. More Hornacek logic, he is trying to play a 12 man rotation, including all 4 point guards - Thomas, Bledsoe, Dragic and Ennis. But here's the ridiculous part - Green is the one who brings the ball up the court and initiates the offense. WHAT?!?!?!?

I tried shooting forms 72 and 33 last night. I sucked with both. I'll see if I can find some ridiculous ones like Penguin suggested. I seem to remember having some success with Lance's shot when playing as the Hornets.
