<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GMJigga)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Saving my coaches settings are going to be a big help. Changing my subs to manual was always cumbersome.</p> The 3-point competition is somewhat hidden, in the sense of instructions. If you go to your options menu there should be an option for showing a 'shot meter.' This is what you have to line up to hit your shot (rather than normally release it at the apparent top of your jump), and it is turned off as a default, although I don't know why.</p> Also, you have to bring the shot stick down in order to shoot; not up. Although this isn't made that clear, any shot stick movement that is not down will always be registered as a miss (from a 2k developer on OS)</p> hope this helps!</p> </div></p> Thanks!</p> I actually made some shots with JJ Redick while doing it completely wrong, so he must have some sick stats.</p> I started shooting using down, but I don't understand why that meter would be off by default. I didn't even see any obvious options screen.</p> </p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GMJigga)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> sick. what's your 2nd string front court look like?</p> </div></p> Well Boone and Williams are considered 'prospects', so Collins and Nachbar really rotate through the spots. If Nachbar plays the post as well as he does in the game, we will be fine.</p> Also, Hassan Adams is sick in the game. Throws down some nasty dunks even though I can't sign him in my Nets franchise cause we don't have no cash haha.</p>
I played last night abou 10 mins, it's my first 2k game, I've always played live, had live 07, so it seemed kind of hard adjusting with the controls. The graphics are cool and also you could see that it's kind of like in the real game, its not easy to score, or defend. You have to work for it.</p>
Magloire is a rebound monster on both sides of the court...let's hope this is true in a few weeks from now!

I was just use to pressing a button and you would dunk over the person every single play.</p> If you want basketball reality, this is definately the game. From the dunks then pointing to the bench, to the celebrations, it's so real.</p>
I got 2k8. I had played live all my life up to last year when I tried out 2k7, and the difference was amazing.</p>
been playing 2k8 like crazy, ive played 10 or so games...and sim'd the rest of the season until the playoffs. Did some trades...let me see if i can recall them?</p> (well to start the season i went ahead and dropped Ilic and added Armstrong and Jones...as im expecting that to happen anyways...well Jones being either Jones or Houston)</p> 3 way trade</p> Nets send Malik Allen and Darrell Armstrong (exp contract) to the Hornets</p> Miami sends Dorell Wright to the Hornets</p> Hornets send Hilton Armstron to the Nets and Jannero Pargo to the Heat</p> </p> I received an offer (Trading Block) for Bernard Robinson; after trading Armstrong i needed and 3rd string PG...i was happy with Serigo Rodriguez</p> </p> The 76'ers lost Dalembert for ahwile due to an injury so they offered me Rodney Cardney for Jason Collins. I happy accepted to get a young promising player and to free up some cap room.</p> My Nets finished 2nd in the Atlantic (Behind the Celtics) and *gasp* 2nd in the East, no Titanic no more! Finishing with a record of 48-34 (10 games behind the Big C's)</p> Injury's this season? (and when they are hurt there ratings take a beating!! one time Kidd was injured and the pain was so bad the his awareness of both Offensive and Defensice went down to a 50! the lowest it can go)</p> 11/23 Allen Shin Splits 7 days still can play</p> 12/5 Kidd Twisted Ankle 5 days still can play</p> 12/7 Boone Knee Tendnitis 9 days still can play</p> 12/22 Kidd Strained MCL 12 days still can play</p> 12/29 M.Williams Sore Knee 5 days still can play</p> 1/5 Kidd Strained MCL 8 days still can play</p> 1/16 Krstic Bruised Hip 8 days still can play</p> 1/24 Kidd Bruised Hip 6 days still can play</p> 2/6 Carter Shin Splints 2 days still can play</p> 2/10 Kidd Dislocated Finger 14 days still can play</p> 3/4 Krstic Twisted Ankle 5 days still can play</p> 3/21 Carney Dislocated Finger 14 days still can play</p> 4/5 Nachbar Back Spasms 3 days still can play</p> 4/16 Kidd Knee Tenditis 7 days still can play</p> so ya wow...Kidd...guess i was pushing him to hard...but man did it suck when he and M Will was both injured...i was forced to start Sergio that sucked.</p> currently my lineup is with rating in ( )</p> date 4/18 (Kidd still injured)</p> Kidd (94)/MWill (81)/Sergio (71)</p> Carter (98)/Wright (78)</p> Jefferson (87)/Nachbar (83)/Jones (78)/ Carney (73)</p> Krstic (81)/ SWill (76)/Boone (74)</p> Magloire (82)/Armstrong (72)</p> </p> and the playoff tree</p> West</p> Suns [1] - Blazers [8]</p> Jazz [4] - Mavericks [5]</p> Rockets [3] - Nugguts [6]</p> Spurs [2] - Hornets [7]</p> </p> East</p> Celtics [1] - Bucks [8]</p> Heat [4] - Hawks!!?!

I want to tweak the sliders to make this thing as realistic as possible.</p> I hit up Operation Sports and the 2K website, but there's nothing.</p> Usually the developers post these. Where are they?!</p>
