Stay up long reading Kant while drinking alcohol and rubbing one down.

Lolz. I remember that.

I've been under much stress lately and I think it's the reason why I am suffering from insomnia these days. Taking a pill... I don't want to go back to it, but seems like it's the only option atm.

Somewhere in Shaw and Boni, the first really pissed me because the exam contains lessons that we didn't tackle in our school.

Everything in life contains lessons that you didn't tackle in school, exams included.

All the videos uploaded from users I am subbed to are now spread over the whole page instead of being located at the top.

You were able to test it last week but now, even if you weren't using it, you have to now apparently.

Playing Super Meat Boy and his Dark World stages makes me want to play it on the keyboard. God so frustrating.

Fucking NBA 2k11 is getting on my nerves. All those fucking passes that don't connect .. and I'm not talking about bad passes that get deflected by the AI that plays smarter defense (which btw is pretty ridiculous as well, since they intercept passes running back on the break while being turned completely away from the ball) but those damn unforced turnovers where my players just randomly throw it away.
On a godamn inbounds play, the guard is two fucking feet away and the player inbounding completely overthrows it, into my opponent's half. Same with post entry passes that are just off to the right or left by like five feet for no reason at all.
Fuck. Just quit a game because of this.

Turn up pass accuracy. I tried turning it down for the cpu because they connected on all these full court passes, but it just causes stupid random turnovers on inbound plays and easy passes around the perimeter.

I'm with you buzzy, even with pass accuracy to the max and CPU steals to 0, it's ridiculous how many passes don't connect. I'll admit I had a tendency to be a bit careless with passes at times, so it's forcing me to think twice, but it's still aggravating at times when most of your passes seem to be intercepted.

Do you guys use the direct pass buttons? It took me a while to get used to the AI intercepting passes, but it's bad passes they intercept. If you make a good pass with the correct settings and actually use the direct pass to player X, Y or Z things should be all right.

I can't complain about the game. I just adjusted my settings to Superstar level and I'm still loving the game. Just today I was thinking how I'd cringe during games I played on NBA Live 2005 or 2006 (Carmelo/Vince Carter?) opposed to this game.

Also try not to fast break it at every opportunity, sometimes you just have to pull the ball back and reset the offense, if in such a scenario you press it & lose the ball...well it happens?

I always use direct pass and don't really have problems with players intercepting them unless I start playing less controlled and trying to fast break a lot

I'm not talking about turnovers where I make bad decisions. If the turnover is justified in my eyes because I throw silly passes, I'm fine with that. What gets to me are the unforced turnovers with no defenders around where I, as a player, have done nothing wrong. I can't do anything more than press A on a two feet inbounds pass with no defensive pressure whatsoever.

Just wanted to add in that directional passing with the icon passing is awesome (the shit that moves the receiver with the direct passing)

Well stop being a bum and use the direct pass. I know you lazy gamers want the AI to smell who you want the ball to be passed to but if it irks you so much, just press an extra damn button. (Yes, I'm poking fun but also being serious, try the direct passing...no more half court passes will occur.)

Should the game pass to the guard near the inbounds? Yes. Does it? No. So work around it and enjoy instead of stressing out about it.
