Shiiiii ... either team bother to cross half court to play defense? Granted the Nuggets are a George Karl team, but daaaaaaang.Smokey said:
Me and Hey Low had a great game last night. Lost by a couple points but it was exciting. I was giving up way too many open 3 looks that game and getting crushed on the boards, but almost pulled off an amazing comeback. Down 80 to 71 with one minute left I mounted a furious last push. Made it to 80 to 78 with the ball and Durant missed a layup at the end. I should have kicked it out to Harden for a 3 point shot because he was open but I played it conservative and lost the game! Probably for the best though since I had to head out right away. Sorry about pausing it in the middle of action in the 3rd for like two minutes. I got a call from one of my friends saying he got pulled over by a cop. So I'm like OK what did you do? It isn't anything major, but he tells me that he didn't renew his license so he needed someone to pick him up. Yeah that was fun heading out from home about one in the morning to go get him! What a fool I can't believe he didn't renew it. Lucky he didn't get his ass thrown in jail for the night.

I need some help regarding recovery of tipped passes. Honestly I wish my defense wouldn't go for tipped passes at all. It puts my defense out of position as my guys scramble for the ball but then I don't pick it up. Am I supposed to hit another button after a tipped pass to go get the ball? I gave up like 4 three point shots in the game last night because one of my players would tip a pass, then 3 of them go for the ball but none pick it up. Then it leaves a guy open at the three point arc to drain an open jumper.

Sounds like Durant in real life to me, NOT CLUTCH

I reset it. It looks like 2k website is working again, so I just reset it from there. And the game counted for week 5 because the league is on flex. It's on flex because of those times when people know they're going to be out of town etc ahead of time, and they can knock out a few games in the upcoming week. That's the only time I'd like to see it get used otherwise the league records will be all over the place with people trying to play 2 weeks worth of games in 1 week.
So:
When doing a scrim you need to select "Challenge to Custom Match".
Deadline Sat Nov 6th
Trade Deadline is game 15 (week 3)

Try lowering the help defense slider. I dunno if that will lower people jumping into lanes or if that's just for teammates helping you out on dribble penetration but you can try that.
Is there a way to better understand players' unique shot releases? A particular setting or something in practice mode that slows it down so I can see the right release point? I swear I'm not that bad at driving to the basket or setting a pick or passing to the open man outside, but every time I try to take a shot, *CLANG* Is there a set # of different release points (10, 20, 50) or is there really a unique release point for every single player in the game?
Thanks guys for the tip. You both have good will in your hearts to try and help me out!

Use the shot Indicator to help u figure out were u are screwing up.. Each player has a very different shot release..
For example in my case.. Stephen Jackson basically has a very quick release as opposed to Rip whos shot release is pretty high. It takes alot of getting used to, moreso Online due to lag.
BTW.. Can you play tonight? 12:30am EST? or Tommorow between 10am and 2pm EST?

Unique release points for the major players. Pros and Cons. Pro: authenticity, Con : Can be hard to learn everybody's shot.
The best way to learn them is to go into practice mode and just start shooting. Go by the visual cue up to that shows you if you released too early, just right (green), or too late and adjust accordingly until you can get green consistently. Do this for awhile and eventually you will get the timing down. There's no way to slow it down. Through repetition (5 mins or so of shooting from various spots around the court) you should eventually get it. Once you get comfortable with a player go into the sub menu, pick another and repeat the process until you're comfortable with that guy. Rinse repeat!

players do have multiple release points.
(1) release for a normal, set, jumpshot
(2) release for a contested jumpshot (typically when the defender is right on you)
(3,4,5,6,etc) releases for all specialty shots (fades, runners, floaters, step backs, etc)
(7, 8, 9, etc) releases for various post shots (hooks, fades, running hooks, etc)
and ya, the release points will varry between players.
also, some players (rose comes to mind) have special shot animations that are enacted when you're in a certain position on the court. so when rose is close to the basket, you can't do a regular jumpshot -- he does a signature floater/push shot kind of thing, and that has its own release timing as well.
and as smokey said, practice -> freestyle is your best way to learn releases.
