CPU transition offense is completely broken in this game. I can't tell u how many times the CPU fast breaks and then shoots some little short jump shot instead of going all the way to the rim for a layup or drawing a foul etc. Also I don't think I've seen a single transition 3 taken by the CPU either, it's just those stupid little jump shots.

Another issue with CPU transition is that they never like back out of it if there's nothing there. Once they decide they're fast breaking, it's final. No matter what. The logic is terrible. This aspect of the game needs to be completely overhauled

I think I finally figured out why my controller settings sometimes switch back to camera relative for no reason. It's caused by the game going into Demo Mode. For some reason the CPU-CPU games cause the switch.

Just now getting in to the creation stuff....I just spent sooooo much time designing my teams jerseys....

The amount of things to do in this game is unbelievable.

Regardless of difficulty level, the CPU's over-aggressive ball denial habits need to be addressed. It's one thing to deny a hot scorer, it's another to deny every pass on the court. At one point or another during every game, the CPU decides to deny every pass which leads to tons of easy backdoor opportunities by holding Y. Part of it is that the strategy is poorly implemented, the weakside defenders aren't anticipating a backdoor despite the team-wide denial strategy. Every now and then, when I'm facing an elite shotblocker, he'll rotate over in time but I'll make the extra pass and get a good look.

The user is stuck between a rock and a hard place here, it's basketball 101 to go back door when being denied but you also want to keep things sim and not abuse it. At the same time, it's very difficult to run your standard offense when the CPU is denying every pass. Passes get deflected/stolen, spacing becomes a mess, the recipient of your pass ends up far out of alignment from where he should be to run the play, etc. I mean, ball denial is supposed to cause chaos for the offense and force them to do something besides running their typical offense but it's not supposed to provide a ton of easy layups.

I was testing it on All-Star sliders over the weekend and hit Porzingis for six straight buckets on backdoor cuts when the CPU was in denial-happy mode. The CPU never adjusted until I made a substitution. I feel like I'm running a clinic on the Princeton offense as opposed to running the Triangle.

I just played my first playoff game in MyGM mode. I normally play the game on mute while I listen to the radio. I was playing a road game against The Heat and when I saw the crowd clapping as a group I had to turn the radio off to see what was happening. This is great! They're booing at the right time, the chants of "Defense" sound intimidating, and I love shutting them up with a clutch basket. This is the first time that I've felt like the playoffs are more intense than the regular season. Love it.

Had this happen the other day, it was awesome. The fact that it was synced so well was spectacular!!!

needs to be called WNBA 2k16 since all people do is shoot 3s and mid range because everybody's Olajuwon in the paint

Trying to finish the first year of MyCareer as quick as I can because it is off the walls boring me. Even if I hadn't watched it on youtube I still would have skipped since I make only once decision throughout my rookie year

Played a bit of MyTeam so I could get used to the controls and playbook. Amazing to see that I'm already rusty at this game, which is pretty cool

Also played a bit of MyPark and realised that at OVR 55 I'm still a beast when I play team ball. Doesn't matter how low or high you are, as long as you don't hog you'll be getting B to A+ games all the time

Also designed my arena and jersey design. Went for the Rockets/Hornets pinstripe jerseys which will look sweet. Definitely gonna need to upload my own image onto 2K

Overall, not a bad first day of 2K16
