Harden will be fine. Zubac and Basemore ( Gazemore ) could use a upgrade.


Not really worried sim wise, Zubac will be a walking double double in 25 minutes and Bazemore just has to play the 3 and D role as the fifth wheel.

In my 2K experience, that's just the superstar and home court combo to go along with being down big. Kemba killed it this game for you.

This should be a 30 - 50 point blow out. SIM teams do not sub out the starters like NBA coaches do. The 4th quarter continues to be a thrashing...

I am a Hawks fan and remember when Bazemore signed that big contract. He had one respectable season to get paid; then it was mostly downhill. I admit, I don't know as much about Zubac.

Edit: I was just agreeing with you about AFB sending you some better depth.

Here we are again. 34 point lead to start the 3rd. I bet good money the SIM coach does not show any mercy with his bench. End result, the lead usually increases instead of decreasing like in the NBA.

15 - 20 point wins are plenty comfortable enough for NBA coaches. SIM Coaches want 4th quarter blood :lol:

GM's should take note on how their teams perform because Wolverine Studios aren't doing y'all any favors.


It's less that they don't matter than I can't really use them to evaluate my BAF team needs. A team with SGA/PG13/Conley/Holmes and shooters should be able to score and mine can't. It's just a question of where my offense really sits and I just don't know that yet.

Yeah I think game-play wise on 2k it's only about fielding a line-up that gets buckets for you, but I wouldn't worry because in the 2K sims your team has done very well and even made the finals one time.

I think several things impact 2K. The coach for one. The pace for all teams seems to be slow. Now add in we both shot under 40% in our last scrimmage game and we end up with sub 80 point efforts.

It bothers me that Zion is not getting more touches. But with this 2K pace, Doncic, Harris, Bey, and KP getting a decent amount of touches, I don't know how he can.

Zion should be my most efficient player. Its really not close. I would love to be able to tell 2K that I want Zion to get 16 touches a game so he could average around 20 points. I may try him at the center spot in my next scrimmage just to see if that impacts his touches.

Speaking about points per game. This past season the Cavaliers were last in the NBA with 103.8 per game. So far in the bubble, we have scored 100 or more just five times in 12 games ( 24 teams ). This pace is like something from the Pistons; with Chauncey Billups and company.

I would say adjust our offensive outlook accordingly.
