Real Talk, this game is something else. I havent played a 2K since 2K5 and I'm getting sonned by the computer bad. My D is horrid and I'm gettingblocked like it's nothing. Too many jump balls and they can't %@#+$%% miss on offense. +*!$! its pissing me off.

Naw your not the only one, the game got harder from last year...escpecially with Mike Bibby taking it in all day...
 
dont worry, i struggled at first, i did horrible, cpu defense is crazy now

my advice is just to get to know your players tendencies, like i use the warriors and know where each player can shoot and etc
 
if you're playing the computer, you can always find a play that works every time. i was the t'wolves on the hardest level, absolutely dominated once igot a hang of it.
 
Dudes must be a nightmare to you online then. I got on like 10 game win streaks like nothing. I have played 2K every year since 2K on DC, so maybe you justneed more practice.
 
nah i had trouble when i first got it too.i played like 2k8 took a while to adjust im king of that now if you want to get added to my list of wins
 
i'm still having trouble with it. it seems like i can't stop the computer when they are on offense. i play on superstar now and that's actuallygiving me more of a challenge than all-pro. the game is fire though. but idk, it seems some sliders need to be fixed. i think my defense just isn't whereit should be. i tried almost everything though.
 
the cpu be on straight BS at times .

i was trying to get the acheivement for that celtics vs. lakers on all-star difficulty .

I was playing as the Celtics , but they had the Lakers playing like the 96' Bulls . They blocked everything . 2k know The Lakers don't play like that...

Kobe was playing like a young Kevin Johnson and Gasol was playing like Wilt Chamberlain .

if you havent played 2k in a while.. its a steep learning curve..

i suggest playing a season on pro at first (moving up to all-star if its too easy) .. so youll get a chance to experiment with your players..

2k is pretty realistic and offense requires a lot ( you cant just iso and drive to the basket all day) .. and on defense.. i suggest focusing on limiting theirpoint guard

momentum has a lot to do with it so even the weakest players can catch fire if you let them.. dont forget to use timeouts
 
I HATE playing the computer. Dudes MURDER me every time if im playing on All-Pro or higher.

I play on Hall Of Fame mode : Fantasy Draft im 14-17

Knicks STarting 5/Bench
Nate ROb/ Telfair
JR Smith/ Ricky Davis
Matt Barnes/ Bill Walker
LeKing James/ Paul Milsap/ Stromile Swift
Marc Gasol/ Andy Varejoao
 
No... your not the only one... is it me... or is there no crossover control on this game...
 
I have been playin my association mode for 23 games so far outta the full 82-game season..and i must say it is very difficult at times..

I am 14-9 at this point in the season..

I have lost 4 games in a row before but then i just had an 8 game winnin streak ended by the Bobcats..DJ Augustin took 33 shots and had 22 points..dude wasmurderin me..as was Gerald Wallace..

I play on the second to hardest level..

Only things that i notice that are very odd is that all the centers can shoot no matter who they are..Nesterovic went to town on my Piston defense the otherday..i was like what the hell..

My starting lineup/bench

Allen Iverson/Rodney Stuckey
Rip Hamilton/Sasha Vujacic or Stuckey when i go to my small lineup with A.I.
Tay Prince/Afflalo or Vujacic
Jason Maxiell/Amir Johnson, Carl Landry, DJ Mbenga or Kwame Brown
Rasheed Wallace/DJ Mbenga or Kwame most of the time Kwame who is actually decent in the game..

The people that i have the most difficult time guardin are Point Guards and Centers..everyone else i can shut down or do a good job of defendin..

My advice pressure the ball everytime down the floor it will definitely help limit the points..
 
Nah, you're not the only one... I let bums like Keith Bogans, and Steve Blake torch me on pro....
