but a big step back from 2k7, which befuddles me

I got this too. It's fun, and I like the new animations, but WAY TOO many missed layups.

I recently got some sliders from the IGN boards, and that helped cut down those missed layups, but the sliders made it way too easy to get to the free throw line. I guess I'm going to have to tinker with the sliders until I can get it back to 2K7 quality.

Here are the sliders I'm using right now. Use @ own risk.

^there are no missed layups. its not a layup when you lunge into 3 defenders 1 foot from the basket.

^Even on a one-on-one or one-on-none situation, there's a good chance that your player will miss an easy layup. It's even more frustrating when the CPU makes EVERY close bucket and layup.

Also, don't question my basketball knowledge.

is there anyway around the autoname of the imported draft classes on this game?

I'd really like to play with C#3 from NCSU not Sam Richards or some bullshit autoname he was given in the process of importing a draft class
