Just dropped consecutive games of 39/10 and 41/7/3 blocks. What's up now 2k? Even if you make me miss half my open 3s and layups I can still score ~40 points and win.

Haven't played in a few days. Gotta play a few games tonight and hopefully get a trade to a better team.

won first game against the lakers in LA in the conference finals

suck it kobe

[Poohdini]

started a creating a legend with Darius Morris

lakers are 1-3 we are gettin blown out every game

my teammates are stupid i get them a shot or pass to them when their open and they just stand there and let the defender close out on them then pass it to me with 5 secs left and i gotta force a shot

[Poohdini]

oh and we were playin the kings and we were gettin losin by like 15 so the coach takes out byumn and gasol and the ppl on the court are me(Darius Morris) steve blake at SG kobe at SF matt barnes at PF and ron artest at C

no im not kiddin

and it tells me to bring the bring lakers back to a 5 point deficit smh

[CODE_BLUE56]

Yeah me too. It's the freaking worst one of all of them.

And I always end up getting 3 out of the 4 categories required OR getting the steal or block before they give me the goal.

On the bright side, I've somehow been able to cut down on my turnovers for the most part so getting "play it smart" has gotten a LOT easier. "Stop that man" usually isn't too bad either so long as your guy isn't ridiculously better than you (like if you're a small PG playing SG guarding Kobe or something).

I've had a lineup of Jannero Pargo, CJ Watson, Devin Harris, me, and Luol Deng for like 5 minutes I think. Worst lineup the coach could think of other than putting Kyle Korver in there instead of Deng.

i dont understand why if you're a PG...you choose being like 6'2...you can be any size you want..i'm a 6'5 PG..i can defend multiple positions and it helps me in post up

play it smart has been getting easier...most of my TOs now are because my guy passes to the wrong person

my favorite assist play is when im on the baseline..one of my big men is next to me..he goes around my defender and his defender..for a split second he is wide open under the basket...i pass to him...easy score...cant remember how many times i have run that with udoh...

Averaging about 23 points my last two games.

What position do you play?

[nwfisch]

What position do you play?

7'2" Center on the 76ers.

Name: Dwight Howard

Yeah my PG is 6'6" lol. I'm going for the Penny Hardaway mold. As such I also play half my minutes at SG, but that doesn't result as horrible as it otherwise would because I have height, a decent vertical, and decent strength at this point.

Strange thing has been happening with my post ups lately though...I've been blowing wide open shots with the up and under move that I've been making all season. Not sure why that's the case because it's the same shot that I've been taking all season, but maybe I'm just in a bit of a slump.

ya i've had some recent issues with the post up as well...my jump shot is continually improving though(i love using a baseline screen to get a wide open jumper...shot is money)

i'm also getting more assists...mostly because my passing is improving and i'm running more fastbreaks...but also because i am figuring out how to find my guys...and my guys are getting better at finishing at the rim

i hate when i pass to an open guy on the perimeter or in the lane..AND HE HOLDS THE BALL INSTEAD OF SHOOTING IT..

its dumb...or you make a bad pass and the person you pass makes a bucket...and you dont get credited the assist...baffles me...only has happened once or twice but it pisses me off..an assist is an assist..shouldnt matter if my pass is good or bad

defense is getting better too(individually and as a team)....if a guy runs down the shot clock to 5...he probably isnt going to pass it..double him....they take a terrible shot...or they get a violation...or in the post use a double team

its really all about figuring out cpu tendencies....regarding your teammates and your opponents

I still miss wide open 3s, but I haven't tried to up my 3pt shot or consistency in a while. They're both at least 82 though. I think my 3 is 84 or 85 actually.

And I can relate with the assist thing. A lot of times, they'll just dribble around and then score and I don't get the assist if they dribble for more than 2 seconds. I hate that bad pass thing too. Nothing loses me more assists than my teammates simply clanking layups off the rim or someone on the other team turning into Dwight Howard for a play. I really should be getting 10 assists every game, but they just find ways to screw up. I actually have to carry a lot of the scoring load lately because Boozer and Rip for some reason shoot like 30% when I'm in the game (which is nearly all the time) and go on fire when I'm on the bench.

So I restart My Player mode and make a SG (so I can co-exist with D-Rose if I get traded to Chicago). I get drafted by the Suns, but then demand a trade & get traded to OKC. Of course I hate playing there since Westbrook doesn't pass the ball much, so I demand yet another trade.

I get traded to Chicago so I was happy BUT then I went to see what the trade was and it was Russell Westbrook & me for D-Rose & 1st round pick.

[X-Factor]

I've gone two different places looking for this game...no one has it. grrr

Is there any way to boost your teammates awareness & layup abilities? They're so pathetic.

I get gold medals on the drills, and do well in key games. Earned enough to be a 71 overall 1/2 a season in my career.

[bbaker]

I'm a 65 right now with about 20 games left in the season. I don't do those drills, I probably should though.

[clonetrooper264]

I played a half of my player with the difficulty on All-Star while waiting for someone to pick me up today. After the first half I had committed 8 turnovers and got fouled 11 times for 18 free throw attempts. The opposing AI got their hand on like virtually every pass I made (I somehow managed 4 assists). My pass rating is over 80 so it's not like I'm a bad passer or anything, but dang...I couldn't pass anything that game. That's why I had so many free throw attempts...I stopped passing.

Do the drills and go for gold every time. That +1 bonus can be very valuable if you get speed or something (which is usually ridiculously expensive) so the 400 SP and the skill point is really like 4000 SP.
