Ok, I finally got so frustrated with the game last night that I threw my controller in disgust and accidently hit my PS3 (which was sitting next to the PS4). Luckily, no damage to the DS4, but the PS3 suffered a small scuff where it impacted. It's just cosmetic damage, but the damage this game does to my blood pressure is pretty real. I dunno why I keep playing this overly-scripted, broken-ass shit, but it's the best hoops game out there--which really isn't saying much now that I've had this much time with the game--so being a b-ball fan I got no other choice as far as video games go.
I can't stand how the game makes choices for you on meeting VC goals. The game I just played had me try and outscore my rival, but I'm actually starting to see how the AI is going to play where my team mates are scoring and I am not getting good looks at the basket, so I realize that I need to give it up and lo and behold my team mates hit almost every single pass I make, no matter where I am or where they are, so clearly if I try to be the one man scoring show, my shots aren't going to drop, and I will lose the lead and probably the game.
I gave up the VC challenge and ended up winning the game with a double double, albeit with one of my lowest scoring performances since starting my player.
Edit: I just restarted mycareer mode since my original save was offline only. At least I started out with more VC to help bump my stats a little. I still ended up getting drafted after Jackson Ellis even though I beat him handily in every category in the Rookie Showcase. Fucking Utah Jazz again. smh lol.
