What is the problem in match making? Not being able to back out in game?
I am documenting our first pro-AM experience post-patch:
This was attempt #1. Attempt #2 about to take place
We just made it to a matchmaking screen, and ten seconds later...
Holy shit. I'm seeing a screen I've never seen. Team matchup screen??
We're about to play a game on our own court as it loads?
holy shit. there's qame with a CROWD???
we're playing on a court with weed in the middle!!!!

So nothing about how I can't get into my game? I'm not sure if Sony revoked my license yet but I'll give it a try when I get home.
Additionally, if you play with AI, they're rated 70. So while they're not world beaters you can throw them the ball and they'll make a layup or an open shot and not get in the way
Yeah I don't know what the deal with your situation is, but that really sucks

Fucking yes. The very first problem was my issue. I couldn't edit my guys tats without the game crashing. Can't wait to cover every inch of my player with tats lol
Face it Tiger..

I really dislike the fact that the PF AI seems to always lose his man.
this court is a foul

yes exactly that. and that in my experience 95% of the time you get matched with a tier 1 team, regardless of which tier you pick. Actually make that 100% of the time. I've literally not been matched with a single non-tier 1 team, despite always picking tier 2 or tier 3.
Besides that the game is great.

Horeford was doing that to Muntumbo in the 4th he was constantly open on transition he was even camped under the basket at one point which got me a technical, pissed me off so much.

Of course the ridiculous ai defense hasn't been patched-_-
Yes, let me ask around and talk to my various circles and we'll get one started. I may pull some others from out of GAF, but hopefully we can get a community working so that communication is still easy.

I wasn't being a dick but showing you how ridiculous you sound about a game you haven't tried yet but are so willing to cast aside because of small negative opinions then casting them over the entire game.
You could of at least tried to make it seem like you paid attention to the overwhelming positive opinions on this game but you kind of didn't. If you have a PC, I'm sorry ,but the game is definitely not broken....just saying
You can't really fix the tier thing. Sports games online people are going to use the better teams no matter what sport game you're playing.

True, but I thought that was the whole point of the tiers. I mean, they have it search for people that are your same ranking, and since they already have the teams divided into tiers couldn't they have it so it matches you to other teams in those tiers as well? There's got to be some people using them, even though the majority yeah are going to be using the top teams.
But yeah I'm perfectly fine if they just leave it the way it is, just let us back out like in previous years!
Yeah I think a match option for same tier, +/-1, or all would have been a good idea. Oh well, at least the Mavs are solid as a Tier 2 I guess.
The point of the tier system is to reward people who play with lower tier teams when they win against higher tier teams. Defeat team one tier higher than you and you get credit for 2 wins. Two tiers, three. It was never designed to match you with similar teams. It's standard matchmaking with a wrinkle reward system to try and get people to use non power teams.
Cool, a fantasy draft since nobody wants to get stuck with the worst teams and there being no draft or player development it makes for a more competitive league.
I agree, but a certain SOMEBODY WHO I KNOW WILL BE READING THIS POST EVENTUALLY is completely against the idea, I'll see who I can garner first
Can't see why anyone would object to a fantasy draft. Also, they fixed Pro-am and as a center is pretty fun when the other team is all guards and forwards, they just keep throwing me the ball in the paint and it's an auto 2 pts lol.
No worries, just had my Pro-Am career game
I was matched up against a shooting guard that was rated 98 though, how is that possible? Thought they capped it.
That was pretty fun, I'll have to use a mic next time, how did you guys get your players into the 90s?

Yup this works. Also screens seem to work in reverse too, I've had defenders 'guess' where I'm going to go before I go and leave the opposite side of the screen open.
You play mycareer and spend your off days on training, every 5 training days you gain a new attribute point. Thats hiw you get to 99.
lol but that was just to get our guys to 88. After that I did the MyCareer mode a lot, and my guy actually should be a 99 but the game nerfed him to a 91 or some shit like that. what I did was at first, play your myCareer enough to the point where you're a 38/39 MPG kind of player...and then I started playing the games that would have multiple off days after so that I could get my next attribute point quicker. It got to the point where I'm actually in the playoffs in my fifth season...I did my grinding in the first two seasons, and then in the 3rd/4th seasons I basically simmed most of the year except for the long off-day stretches. I have simmed the entire 5th season because virtual Pat Riley has done an absolutely shitty job surrounding me with talent and I want to get out and join lebron on the lakers!
never
also, in the 3rd and 4th seasons, i stopped giving a fuck about playing my games and I would just foul out intentionally lol. a completely shameful thing to do but I don't really care because I spend most of my time in pro-AM and park anyways
and it was great playing with you, you and the other big man were playing off each other really well and we were killing the circuit. I think the wheels just fell off slightly in that last game (we should have won anyways) cause I was personally so damn tired at that point
Man this game has a steep steep learning curve. I still don't really "get" defense. There's an arrow pointing from my guy to the dude on the other team - so I assume I'm supposed to guard him. But then what? Do I just stand near and hold L2, and wave the right stick around? Or do I go for the dude with the ball? When I do I don't understand how I'm supposed to steal the ball. One time I accidentally grabbed it and we both held it, then there was a foul and my team got it. I don't really understand what happened or how I did it lol

Yeah that arrow is who you're supposed to guard. As for defense, you don't necessarily need to hold L2. You'll need to know who you're going up against. A jump shooter? Play close. Someone that can't shoot, you can keep a little distance to cut off the lane to the hoop. Steals aren't like the old games where you could just keep spamming it. It's an opportunity thing. Mostly when someone is executing a dribble move or about to try to go for a dunk, layup, pump fake. Other than that, you gotta pretend like you're really playing basketball for defense.
I have no idea what a layup or pump fake are though is there a beginners guide for this stuff
Not sure if there's one, but for those 2:
Layup: A close shot where you shoot from pretty much under the rim and bank it off the board. Often this is a driving one (you run to the hoop and shoot as you cross under it, pretty much 'laying' it in the hoop).
Pump Fake: A fake shot. A player pumps and gets in the beginning phases of the shot, but stops before they leave the ground (in-game this is done by tapping shoot really quickly and letting go). This is used to throw off defenders and make them block you, then you shoot in the split-second after.
Ah thanks, I actually stopped practicing once I got to 88 cause I thought that was it lol.

That makes sense, I guess I'll start practicing again, I need my guy to get better.
It wasn't your fault we lost, can't win em all, and I kept collapsing on drives when I should have stayed at home on the shooter. I'm not used to guarding SGs and always track back to the paint, so I'll have to work on staying on them when I get that matchup.
Made it to the top :

got a couple of wins as the bulls in the HOF league. Got to my last game. Win and I move up. Played against OKC. Was leading the entire game. DRose at the FT line for 2 shots. I fucking miss one, now up by 3. KD gets the ball and makes a 3 at the buzzer. We eventually go into double OT and I lose. Progress reset and now I have to win 8/10 again to move up.
I was so enraged I went 8-0 in that next set of games with no fucks given.
I did win 3 games as a tier 2 team during the run that ended with KD. Got credit for 2 wins for each W since I was mainly playing the Cavs or historic teams. For those that were complaining see the tier system does work. You just have to win against those higher tiered teams

Listening to the soundtrack and noticed they stuck some songs back from the NFL 2K days. This game man.
LOL that was funny as hell.
I think I'm going to make a 3-D PF, kind of like AK-47 or Draymond Green. The two center lineup works when the other team doesn't start a SG/SF at PF, my guy turns like a tank and they just zig zag until they get open. That way Zep can have more space on the post and I can defend wings a bit better.
