first game on picked the lakers vs the clippers . keep in mind i only play on hall of fame .. lost by 4. both teams are matched up against eachother equally, khawi , lebron , pg13 AD and kuz all seem to be accurate to last year if not better... just same mistakes 2k away has in every year. starts playing harder for one team than the other and then vice versa... every game the computer gives each team their own run. the clippers were hot before half time were i just kept turning the ball over and then i had my run and my chance as the 4th quarter began, untill the end where my players were to tired to get the last couple buckets after i came back down 11 in the 4th. make sure you sub your guys out accordling. through the game or else.. when the clippers brought Lenord and PG back in late in the 4th you can tell they were cold, missing shots . slow.. ect. overall, 2k does a good job every year but if you play enough you will understand the corks and screws that come with it being ultimately video game .
