You can change shot to percentage instead of stick (not sure how its worded in game). Instead of how well you perform the shot on the stick, it's based on the players RL %. I believe this is true....I will check it tomorrow. This might help.

I've tried both and the results have been the same for me so far, but maybe the PC version is just different because I can't get much happening off of working the ball and running plays. But, the iso will have the defender running in the opposite direction and creates space more than half the time. I dunno, Imma keep testing it out, I really want for this game to be good.

I'm losing to the Nets, 57-30, at the half...with THE HEAT.

Fuck this, life is too short. This game is too hard.

With a decent slider set, this game is gonna rock. Just needs the right set.

Time to head to OS.

Aside from the controls, my biggest problem so far is the sliding. Why can't 2K fix this shit?

 

[Nature Boy]

This is the most fun i've had playing a video game in a very long time. The Jordan Challenges are hard as heck but i'm having a blast playing them.

The Bulls team with Rodman on the roster is unstoppable IMO.

Hey, if I can do it, you can too. Like Dave said, you just need the right sliders/rosters.

I'm too old for this shit, which means dave is really too old for this shit.

LOL....

 

[DJ Rhude]

It's not hard to do the moves gents, you just have to practice.....the controls this year are tits

As for the turnovers, erase everything you knew about the past 2k games, they don't let you just pass recklessly anymore....you really have to set your men up and make sure the cpu is not denying them the ball before you pass it

There's a new setting this year, where you can set your guys to deny the ball.....I noticed the cpu relies on that tactic A TON.....at first I was getting a bunch of my passes stolen too, but I caught on to what they were doing.....I started being more careful now and as a result my turnovers have dropped

Another thing, if the cpu is overplaying your man in the post, make him cut to the basket.....after a few back door slams the cpu will cut that overplaying shit out and guard your guy straight up

This game is really deep and there's a lot of shit under the hood you have to dissect......it's no longer just a pick up and play game

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

the game is hard but challenging and very good......if that makes sense.

still having a hard time on SuperStar tho.......... :doh:

 

[DJ Rhude]

Another thing I'm absolutely loving, the fact that you can run plays for your guys on the bench.....no longer is all the players tied to the same three of four generic plays

For instance, I use the Knicks and I set up some sick three point plays for Andy Rautins (he's basically useless aside from pulling from three, so makes no sense having him post up)......you can set them up beforehand in the playbook screen.....so when he comes in, he has selected plays I run soley for him

They have preset plays for midrange as well....Good Lord this game never ceases to amaze

 

[jeffx]

How do you cut down on the sliding?

Rhu, could you post the plays you use?

I just downloaded some rosters from OS. can't wait to try these out. I like starting Turiaf and bringing Curry off the bench.

 

[DJ Rhude]

Not sure what you mean Jeff, unless your talking about the momentum physics? I know if you're running, and you want to pull for a jump shot your player will gather himself first....or if you want to change directions, you won't be able to turn on a dime as the physics come into play....that is by design though and takes some getting used to

You use Turiaf huh? I banished that waste of court space to the reserve list.....I'm giving the big Russian a look and the kid Randolph is amazing Jeff....give him a look if you haven't yet

I don't remember off the top of my head the name of the plays, but when I get into the game tonight I'll post the ones I like to run

You still on PS2 brother?

With Amare, Chandler, Gallinari & Felton, I have enough scoring. All I use Turiaf for is rebounding, defense & putbacks. Despite being undersized at the 5, he gets plenty of boards. I want Randolph(a beast in 2K10) coming off the bench with Douglas, Azibuike, Mason & Eddy Curry(always money down low). The Russian kid was decent in 2K10 - maybe I'll start him once I use these updated rosters. I'm on DEFAULT/PRO so far. Once I learn the controls(which will take awhile, I'm not a young man anymore) I'll switch to SIM.

I'm on PS3 and PS2. PS2 is for the GTAs, MK and Madden 10. No new Madden for me until EA gets their shit together on Franchise.

Best sports game on the 360 ever...its insane.

 

[stevsta]

only problems Im having online now are with ISO motion and the little lag that makes playing on ball D a really bitch to do efficiently which makes it easier for my opponent to dunk

 

[Tengo Juego]

So, that's basically saying it's the best 2K game on this generation of consoles. Which it should be.

It's the best basketball game, ever.

I have a better chance of having a winning record at this game:

[Steel Mamba]

Im back to liking the game again, lol. The 360 version is much better than the PC, despite the graphics not being as good. So Im glad I bought it, but they really need to crank up the on ball D or bring defensive lock back. It's still too easy to get separation with stick work. Mid range game needs a slight boost as well. Controls still aren't half as precise as they used to be (especially on D), but I can live with that if they fix those areas.

 

[dave]

I thought L2 was the defensive lock?

 

[Steel Mamba]

It doesn't work like it used to, they changed it to 'aggressive D' now. Doesn't really lock you on your guy anymore.
