Sorry if I missed this but can players in myleague further develop a badge to a higher tier if the work hard? Can the CPU earn badges during the season? Can players lose badges if a injury causes them to lose athleticism, say lebron tears his acl and never fully recovers could he lose coast to coast?

That's not what's unrealistic about it. You pressing "X" or "Square" and the CPU shoots it on command is unrealistic. IRL, if someone yells for someone to shoot the ball or pass it sometimes they ignore them and do their own thing. I see some players wide open calling for the ball or players posting up demanding the ball and still don't get it. Ive seen LeBron begging for the ball and Chalmers just look him off and do whatever. Same w/ Kobe and other players that's like on court coaches.

You're only controlling your player, you should not be able to tell the CPU what to do on command. I want to call for the ball sometimes, but not get it every single time I call for it.

They just need to work on the AI and make them play like the regular AI.

I agree with the calling for ball part. Shouldnt be 100 percent. But the flawed ai need a shoot prompt. Were all like 90% sim players in here we wouldnt ask our teamate to shoot at inappropriate times. The real reason i think this badge was created was to cover up some game play issues like not being able to let cpu pg call plays or coach. My career was almost unplayable out side the pg spot for me.

I don't consider myself "Sim" and definitely not a "Cheeser". People have too many variations of sim and some take it way too far which makes it unrealistic, but I just play basketball. Period. No gimmicky things, just basketball. Shoot how many 3s you want if that's what you do, just don't cheat me or exploit the game. I'm sorry, back on track...

I agree with a prompt and maybe they'll shoot, but I still feel they should have that mind of their own. I honestly don't like it, but that's not the reason I am upset it's in because I know I could just not use X. I am not the type to wish something wasn't in completely if I can avoid it. But I'm upset they'll pass it to you at will. Yeah, I could just not get the badge, but I do want to be able to call plays so I'll need it lol and I like to call for the ball.

It's not that big of a deal because I know some guys are thinking I am making it a big deal. Just something I didn't really like or understand, and hope they changed it from being on command.

I hope these make players especially superstars play like themselves . Still didn't feel like that in 14.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well

The problem isn't what this option adds to the game. It's why, and the why has been because if when we haven't had this option the AI for your teammates results in them making bad decision otherwise. This is a classic example of a "Band-Aid on a bullet wound". The issue to date has been far deeper than giving the player the ability to call plays or to tell a player when to shoot. The fact that they added this option suggest that those issues still remain in 2K15. The fact that it's unrealistic is just a minor annoyance.

Hakeem Olajuwon was the first player I thought of when I saw that badge's name.

I mean, come on. "DREAMlike." He's my favorite player of all time--how could I NOT notice that?

thank you for this. even without showing any of his defensive highlights or mind boggling stats as a center; this helps solidify my point in calling Hakeem one of the top THREE players in NBA history.

Have you considered the reasoning for the band aid? Maybe they weren't able to solve the issue this cycle so they needed to add something to hold it over until they do? I'm just saying. Gotta look at it from both sides sometimes.

I have a pretty good idea of why they are doing it. And if that's the case it may be an excusable flaw IMO. Again MyPlayer is the only mode I play so if it's not to my liking at an acceptable level I'll just pass like I did last year.

will some of these badges take the place of the corresponding ratings/tendencies & create less but more variable editing?

I'm beginning to think so. I mean look at the dribble badges. What would be the point of having those if there were tendencies as well? Hope it works out.

I was going to ask the same thing giving the full list without the details of how it works doesn't do them justice. This is something that should have had a small developer diary from Beds, and any other devs involved in the badges describing how it works in game a little more details are needed.

I actually thought there still would be tendencies and ratings for each. I thought it would work like once your skill reaches a certain level for the rating you are bronze level then silver and gold. For example does every guard get some level of euro step bronze level? I mean anyone can complete a euro step. Especially thinking from a myplayer mode point of view. I thought they needed tendencies to decide how often the CPU to attempt to do certain things especially dribbling.

I thought if they still need tendencies to decide how the cpu behaves they might as well have tendencies for all the skills. l need the CPU to do things based off tendencies which are not always strengths but real player tendencies.

Perfectly put.

I really hope the tendencies that mysteriously disappeared last year return, and we don't have any MORE tendencies disappear as well.

People who play the CPU are people too. :-( We need those layup/dribble/etc. tendencies.
