My Player penalizes you over way too much BS. Bad call for a pass my ass.
Sooo, consider me a basketball newbie here. But if you're playing the games, what is the appropriate quarter length to set? For some reason the default is 5 mins, which seems strange to me... it's like a baseball game setting it's default game to 4 innings or whatever. Does it take 12 minute quarters to generate realistic statistics? Am I misunderstanding something?

Wang should have stole EA's netcode when he left.
Just some quick thoughts, probably nothing a lot of people haven't said before and better.
I hadn't been following the release of this game very closely since I don't really play videogame sports games anymore, but I think that just changed.
Things I like:
Attention to detail, I had read about all the outfit details and visuals but I didn't realize the commentary was going to include such depth. During the first game when Harlan started talking about the Piston sweep I was giddy. If only he had mentioned them walking out before the game was over like little brats :lol They started talking about details of the season and playoff run that I only can assume are correct, pretty cool!
Also with the commentary, at one point I could swear Harlan interrupted the other guy when an alley oop was thrown. The color guy (can't remember his name) might have just finished talking but it didn't seem like it. Seemed like Harlan got excited from a sweet alley oop that came out of nowhere, it was a cool commentary moment.
I also didn't know which classic teams would be included. I love the fact that every team that the 89-90 Bulls played in the playoffs is in the game, but selfishly I wish that had carried over to the later Bulls teams as well. As it is, you have an overmatched 1986 matchup (although with as good as Jordan is in the game likely your team is never really overmatched,) a whole bunch of teams to play against in 1990, and then just a sprinkle the rest of the way.
Heck, even Jordan's best matchup in the Finals by far isn't in the game, the 1993 Suns should definitely be there. And the later 3peat only has three teams total, the latter two being basically identical Utah rosters. It's kinda sad on that end, although I've been hoping for the inclusion of classic teams to this detail for quite some time. So I am happy we've gotten what we've gotten, but I hope they are building onto this in the future.
As an old Charlotte Hornet fan it's the only shot I've got at seeing my players in my classic jerseys. I saw on NBA Jam they have some classic players, Larry Johnson is in there. It would kill me if he's in a New Orleans Hornets jersey so I don't even dare check :lol
The Hornets never had a lot of success against the Bulls in the playoffs, but the year that Jordan came back and lost to Orlando they played a really tight 4 game series (first round was 5 games) against the Hornets. I think two of the first four games in the series went to OT. Would have been a fun team to see in the game, with a young Alonzo Mourning and a Larry Johnson at the peak of his powers (and way ahead of what people remember from his NY days, people forget that LJ was a very good player his first few years before messing up his back.)
tldr: Game is awesome and I want moar.
Can we get dlc consisting of moar classic teams? Am I dreaming?

2k will play to Lakers/Celtics nation next. 2k's first ever dual cover with Magic/Bird opposite with their own legend modes and more classic teams.
I'm wondering how much more that 2k can even fit in the game anymore though. With EA being out of the picture I just don't know how motivated they'll be. I mean they probably can't even fit any more actions on the controller anymore. Short of a fighting game I don't know if any game compares to 2k11 on the sticks.
At this point I'd be happy if 2k12 focused only on netcode and transferring the current mechanics over to a new engine.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I'm sure they can do it, but the main issues with getting a true complete team pack DLC would be getting all the older players licensed (I'm sure some of them may demand higher fees, which is what I'm guessing happened with Barkley and why the Suns aren't in), and the difficulty getting more commentary and voice recording done since the NBA season is almost here and the commentators are going to be busy.DJ_Tet said:
I can buy the premise of recreating Jordan's career, and as such he missed out on both Magic and Larry's prime. I imagine the Magic in the game isn't what Magic would be in 1987, but Bird should be accurately represented.
The crime isn't that there's no Kareem, but that there's no Barkley. I'm happy that there is Dominique, happy there is Drexler, but there is no Hakeem, no Barkley, no young Shaq, no Zo/Tim Hardaway (those Miami teams were pretty good at the end of Jordan's career.) What about Reggie Miller?
And actually I assumed because of the 1989-90 ATL Hawks inclusion that the Bulls had played them in the playoffs, but actually they swept a NYK team featuring Patrick Ewing.
What's there is great, but I am already wanting more.
Ironic that Jordan's game is responsible for giving us some classic 1990's teams when for most of the 90's he was conspicuously absent from videogame basketball.
Good point about the commentary. It wouldn't be the same
I definitely think that's what happened with Barkley and the Suns. Either on this gaf or a previous version I had a post talking about how videogames should be a good revenue stream for retired athletes and there should be a retired athlete union to help get both sides working together. I guess the problem is finding a way to get both Barkley some money but also lesser players, there's only so much to go around.
I know Madden has 'classic teams' but I'm talking about the way 2k does them, I want legit unis. Legit players, legit rankings, the works. Once Madden lets me take Unitas against Sayers then we'll talk.
I really hope you're right. A Celts/Lakers game with multiple versions of those teams as well as a fully fleshed out 1980's playoff roster would be a personal dream come true. Even if it meant I still didn't get a Charlotte Hornet team I'd take one for the team to see the best era in NBA history meticulously recreated with highlights, stats, commentary, and looks. Hell, throw in Pat O'Brien, I'm sure he could use some cash. Take it all the way back

For reference, this shot does a pretty good job at showing the online/offline PC difference:
That's assuming your online game lasts longer than a few minutes anyway.
On another note, figuring out the icon lead passing (I assume, whatever it is that uses the stick) has been a revelation for me.

Suns aren't in the game because Sir Charles still wont let the NBA use his likeness for anything. He owns the rights to his name (like MJ does) and hasn't given in.
So blame Charles.
I'm sure I will get a hand of the passing eventually. It's just frustrating trying to play a sim game in association and struggling because I can't even get an entry pass into the post. Yeah I know that a lot of them could be better passes, but most of the time if the pass would just be a bounce pass like its' supposed to be there wouldn't be a problem.
I always find that getting good sliders is the hardest part of these games. I'm not trying to figure out the rebounding sliders. I thought I had them set at a really good spot and then I played against the Blazers and got destroyed on the boards. 38 to 17. D-stroyed. Now I know they are a good rebounding team when Oden is on the floor, but I'm using the Bucks and Bogut is rated 99 in rebounding so he does pretty good. But he couldn't get a thing. Their PF was freakin owning the glass. It was frustrating.
And I don't have a clue how to make post moves yet. Zero clue.

I did two games earlier with friends, we all had run the benchmark, maxed out and everything fine offline. It appeared like that for us as we got into the online game.outsida said:
And then the connection got dropped two or three minutes in.
At least, in one game, Oden got a rebound and tried to hand it to Andre Miller who had his back turned, the ball hit him in the ass and flew into the crowd. That made it all worth it. We watched that replay three or four times.
Side note:
Game is not even showing up on my community page at all. On the overlay it has the time right though.LovingSteam said:

Really impressed with this game. I was one of the guys who ditched 2k10 and went with Live, but this game is on a new planet.
The Jordan challenge mode opens up a lot of avenues for the future. Bird/Magic would be awesome... but I think a challenge mode based on some of the more legendary performances in NBA history would be cool
Kobe's 81
Kobe's 45 (with 12 3-pointers)
Wilt's 100
Skiles 30 assists
Lebron's 50, 10, and 8 at the Garden
Magic 25 and 9 at the 1992 All Star Game (his comeback)
The list goes on and on. Ten or so of those would be awesome.

Practice mode is your friend. You have to be more patient with passes this year. We're still going off of muscle memory on how to play 2k, and you cannot play it as you could previous titles. If you just fling the ball all over the court or make poor outlet passes it WILL get tipped/picked off. I'm still adjusting to it.

I´m glad people are enjoying the classic teams.
I´ve dreamed about a historic franchise mode for years, and this a step foward.
I would love to start in 1984 or so and play my way through current era, using real players, real teams, relive and rewrite history with my Sonics.
If this Jordan Mode is really well received, then i´m sure they will try to do this.

Looking online, but i need help. How do I use L1 and R1 on offense for PnR. It looks like they are making the roll and pop functions manual this year. How do I do it?
Also, why is there no post play in this game?

Some great Lay up shots contextual and varied depended upon the player. They are listed in the manual you figure it out in practice.
You have to be driving across the lane, between the charge/block box and the dotted line by the free throw area.
Driving left or right while holding L2 or LT
Push the RS in the opposite direction you're moving = spin lay up, think Rondo or Drajic
Push the RS away from the basket = Fade lay up
Push the RS towards the basket = Inside/Dummy hand shot
Push the RS in the same direction you're moving = Running hook shot
3 different Contact points by CPU defender
1. BLOW-BY CONTACT - It may fell at first as if the defender's riding your hip adn will stop you, but just keep the stick in the direction you pushed it, or towards the basket, and you can get by him pretty easily, depended upon the defenders ratings.
2. HIP-RIDE CONTACT - The defender won't stop you completely unless you let go of the stick, but you have a limited amount of time to "SPIN" out of it towards the basket. With better defenders can stay in front of you much better out of the spin, you can also counter with behind the back dribbles ect....
3. BRICK-WALL CONTACT- Your forward momentum is halted, the smart thing to do is pass out of it. If you up against the shot clock perform a step through shot. To do a step through shot Hold the L2 or LT and flick the shot stick in any direction to pump fake, before the pump fake ends push the RS in any direction. The shots are contextual based on where you facing and how far away from the basket you are.
