Up your lateral quickness (defender bucket). It starts super low but it only takes a few bars to get it high enough that you can begin to shut dudes down.

Hold L2 and R2 and don't move too much, if you bite on anything you're hosed

I'm still getting the hang of playing this (2k13 was my last go) but the motion is great. One thing I've noticed is that it's stupidly easy to get and score on breaks.

Looks like the servers are still making GBS threads the bed. That's cool. Didn't want to play the game right away anyways.

You should get it back when the servers stop crapping the bed. I got mine back then I just kept going when it made me make a new dude and he's gone but I think I'll get it back. Best to just stop playing tonight.

Yeah, so my preorder KD pack that I guess was supposed to have rookie KD just gave me Glen Davis, Jason Terry, and some bullshit attribute boosts. Cool.

Also holy poo poo I didn't think the soundtrack could get any worse than in 2k13 but boy howdy was I wrong

No one person will ever like the soundtrack. Hope for a few good songs.

fwiw my friend says he's getting this too so hope that it's either related to the servers or is a common enough problem that it'll get fixed soon.

I don't remember the last sports game I owned where I actually kept the soundtrack on. I always just go into the options and mute the music immediately. It's not that I hate any of the songs, it's just that listening to the same group of songs is going to get boring sooner rather than later so I'd rather just play my own music to begin with.

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.

This had 4769 reference points if that helps anyone.





I have the same down-turned mouth which really fucks up the cut scenes, so I just pulled a bit of a smile on the second time and it worked perfectly. Light ended up being no problem thanks to my 65" inch tv glowing bright white.



Wish my haircut was that good.

They also got my Scandinavian name in the game this year, which is awesome. Was tired of being "Johnson" in everything but hockey. Still not blonde enough though. Racism!

Is it normal for my mycareer player to be saved and every other feature says I haven't created a player yet? :(

And do you no longer buy attributes with VC in mycareer?

edit: Apparently if servers are down when you start a career it does an offline mode, and - as far as I can tell - there's no way to "connect" it later.

It's your mouse cursor.

For anyone having the issue where you can't input text without it all being the same letter, it's because your mouse cursor is on a specific letter, so move it, or use it to input the text.

Nope, 2K says Sony is responsible for sending it using XMB, Sony says yes, we are, but we aren't doing it because your servers are on fire, so get that under control.

Is the 360 version going to be worth picking up? Or are all the new features next-gen exclusive? Do any goons still play on 360? I'm too poor for next gen.

Few new features in last-gen, though Crew Mode is a 360/PS3 only feature for reasons. I wouldn't be surprised is the 360 version was $20-$30 pretty quickly.

Can someone offer some basic tips for not being terrible at this game? I feel a bit lost when I'm playing, but if I turn the difficulty down any more I can just win with hero ball and not learn anything about being good on the "regular" difficulties. I did switch from the default camera to the 2k camera which helped a TON, since I can actually see what's going on now (why is this not the default?) but I still struggle on offense and can't reproduce any success.

I figure if I can at least start getting the flow of a regular offense going I can actually start improving because I'll be able to learn from mistakes, but right now I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I usually just run pick and rolls until that stops working, then call a set play or two and/or go iso a bit more.

I get a lot of success from the midrange game, since it is a lot easier to penetrate that far in instead of trying to get a layup. Also run the pick & roll, and change the ambient offense to something more to your taste (while on offense, hit Left on the D-Pad, then right bumper, then use the D-Pad to scroll through different offensive styles)

I wrote a big long thing and then got a call and Awful app ate it :(

Basically, don't turn the ball over and take open shots. Don't pass up a midrange shot to run back for a three or drive into traffic for a sweet dunk

Are you playing myPlayer or a franchise? I find myPlayer is the first thing a lot of people start with and it's actually probably the worst place to learn the game.

MyPlayer is really punishing this year. My SF got two blocks, 3 points, and a rebound in 3 minutes of play and everyone hates me because I had one turnover. Al Jefferson told me that I couldn't possibly play any worse.
