On one hand, it's good to see the PNO game mode get some shine, but Pro?

Wow. They definitely need to get that on Superstar. That's going to be a ****show

As far as 2K20, coming off of 18/19...in my opinion it's on the lower end of the spectrum as far as cheese...which is always going to be prevelant (waiting for 2k to say "hold my patch" and change that)

I'm just tired of the disconnects. I actually WANT to play and got kicked out of about 5 straight games last night.

It's a stragetic move on my part to off-ball then double bigs who are killing me in the paint....but no....what ends up happening is that I can never steal it and they just pass out to the man I left for the open 3. Even worse I'm already running to close out the 3 cus they are so slow to react. It should've been a steal already. Easier to play like a bonehead, I might find more success that way. I'll have to post a vid.

don't even get me started on the missed steals on double teams.

Complete joke. Also thought that the bail out and trapper badges would bring a degree of skill to double teams so that double teaming bad passers with good defenders would lead to more beneficial plays, but it seems entirely random.

My example in the last game of Jarrett Allen splitting a double team on a fast break had me going mad. My PG coughs it up with one guy just standing in front of him lol

Exposed? Dude I literally hit protect ball whenever Curry got close--but ok. I guess we're saying you can steal the ball regardless. With that reasoning those guys should take Curry and swipe at guys collecting the rebound--since most rebounders are below average ball-handlers...

And ESPECIALLY since that worked out so well in 2K19 and all...

I wasn't saying you weren't holding it down.

What I was talking about was in a half court setting. When trying to call a play.

Also I wasn't calling Curry an Elite defender. I was just saying that should be the design. Which again I thought it worked well in 19.

I can't speak for 20. Because there have been so much problems. But in your video. It's seems to work.

I'm definitely down to join, especially if they can up the difficulty. But it'll be nice to finally use real teams again in a tourney. Unlike the My Team tourney with superstars all over the court, PNO brings that pure basketball strategy because players are realistically rated.

My bad then. I've said for years it should be static. Hit L2 once and you stay in protect ball unless you hit it again or sprint.

But here again, it doesn't work if guys can still steal the ball. And Curry may not be an elite defender but he's an elite ball thief. My issue is simply dribbling the ball does not expose it--dribble moves do that.

Who remembers when last year they patched in the ability to not league up and just keep repeating a tier ?

December ish ?

I just want to remember how long last season I played that crap system and used different teams.....
