okay now that i've lost i'm looking for a three point shooter at the 3 position. or a big man that's not useless (see: robin lopez)

no one on my roster is untradeable, but if you're gonna take nash, snaq, stoudemire, or bell, it'll take a lot!

paul probably had gatorade logo too. learn to sub people out and have them fresh for the stretch run!

:lol

This is true BUT!

He had 4 out of 5 bars with like a minute left, and then the gatorade bar went on him for the inbounds pass with 4.5 seconds left in the game. :/ I'm learning to manually sub in the game now because when I set auto sub to fatigue the AI doesn't seem to do a good job of subbing out players.

Can I get some help with the NBA pros here. I still really don't know basketball that well, and am trying to learn my lineup. I know I should use Paul for slashing in the paint and kicking it out to my guys. Looking at Posey, should I use him mainly for short jumpers and in the paint? I don't know what I'm doing wrong with him but I'm airballing 10 foot shots with him at times. Also, with Peterson shouldn't he be my outside threat? He is set up as my shooting card. He also tends to miss not only a ton of 3 pointers, but also 15 foot jumpers too. Maybe I need to get my timing down? If I can get any tips I would appreciate it!

go to practice mode and see if your releasing your shot too early or too late. if its not that, get peterson to the lane and make a couple of layups/dunks before raining down the 3's.

Cerrius, you still have Cook on your team?

Like Truelize said, Sasha is a good 3 point shooter.. You know the Vujacic..:D

Let me know
Click to expand...



Yeah I have Cook on my team.


I would love to have Vujacic to space the floor for Wade and Beasley.

What do you want?

how about Marion/Cook/Zo for Odom/Sasha/Mbenga?

Paul should be used for a little bit of everything. He's got a rating of 99. But he's very quick and is a good passer. As for Posey, he's a 3pt shooter. He should be on of your guys on the arc while you try and get something going with Paul. I'd be willing to bet that you're just releasing the shot too early or too late. Go to practice mode and get used to the timings of each player...that will make a big difference.

And about your subs the computer does fuck up sometimes and not sub when goes are dead tired. In 2K games I manually do EVERYTHING (subs, defensive assignments, pressure etc) because the A.I. doesn't always do what it's supposed to do, and if I'ma lose a game it's gonna be b/c of my mistakes and not because the A.I. didn't take out a player at the correct time.

I want a basketball game, should I get this or NCAA?

Edit: This may help: will you guys be doing another season after this, or not? If so I'll get 2k9, if not I'm more familiar with college hoops.
