Anyone else having a hillarious amount of Server problems on the PC?

Like I'm stuck unable to update my dude, because the game can't loving calculate how many VC it's going to cost me. This is some bullshit yo.

I got a few hours in a round noon before I figured the servers would tank when people got home from school and work. Good enough for now.

Get serias
I wish I could tell you that I didn't spend SEVERAL HOURS trying to get this right.

I had to wait for a good amount of natural light and had to sit a certain distance from said source of light and in order to move my head any more smoothly I'd need to set my decapitated head on a spitroast.

Here is me

Here is the resulting scan that is fairly accurate but I have to modify my head :

There are some small imperfections around the neck transition and lips but gently caress THIS IM NOT DOING IT ANYMORE.

Last night I was fuckin moving lamps and all sorts of stuff trying to get it lit properly.

Mine got reset as well. My scan is there, but it is messed up. Reset my name, skin, and other features of the head. it is now like I have a face on my face, it is sticking out so far.

I don't have the patience to sit and try and fix my scan again.

loving 5 times now. I think I'm just gonna go with what I got and do it again Sunday morning when there is super amount of light. My big window into my living room faces east so I should get plenty of natural light in.

Probably just the servers making GBS threads the bed. Mine disappeared too, I would assume if we can ever reconnect our original dude is saved server-side.

Server poo poo aside, I'm really not sure what I think about the new shot system. It feels like a response to the (dumb) complaints that "Everything about my shot release was perfect but I still missed! This is bullshit!" 2K14 actually made defense viable, now it seems 2K15 has swung all the way the other direction and made it impossible to play anything resembling consistent defense

What do you mean? I've seen plenty of A+ perfect release shots miss.

It took like, 10 minutes of moving my head back and forth, but I got a pretty awesome face scan finally. I found that putting something white like a T-shirt or towel under your chin really really helps. You can use a lot of light that way but wont get your face washed out as the camera adjusts to the brightness of the brightest object and your visage stays at a natural level

Hey Glumslinger I found a pretty huge oversight: during the draft in GM mode if you go to "propose trade" there's no way for you to add players that were just drafted, though the AI teams can offer them/ask for them.

Also the first draft was hilarious, SG is so bad throughout the league that there were SGs going off the board with mid second round grades in the lottery. Seven of the first eight picks were SGs :laugh:

Well I just lost myplayer due to the servers making GBS threads the bed. Guess I'll just use a pre-made dude and deal with scanning again later. Beware of buying upgrades with VC you might lose your dude too.

The best was a few years ago when you started off in the NBDL and your teammates were just as wretched as you were.

Edit: For what's its worth, I enjoyed the NBDL start but I just wish there was an option to choose what kind of rookie career path you wanted to take. (like Option A: The Lebron-style High School Phenom or Option B: The small school star trying to work his way up)

I too need this because seriously D is wrecking my ratings. It's totally fair of course, a player who only can do offence would rightly be seen as a 'why are you here again' dude, but man is it annoying to go from a solid grade to C- because the dude I'm covering keeps slipping me and managing to dunk on my rear end.

Okay seriously, there must be some secret to playing defense that I don't understand. Does the game expect me to keep switching to different players on the team constantly? I feel like I'm covering my man fine but then someone else gets blown by so it doesn't actually matter.

Edit: I think I also need to switch to a camera angle that's not the default since half the time I can't actually see where I am/who I'm supposed to be defending until the play's starting.
