Re: So how long will 2K continue to deny 3rd quarter momentum shifts?
Then you'll have people complaining it's not realistic.
When my opponents go on these ridiculous runs I make sure to call timeouts, slow the game down, make substitutions and run plays.
I understand that teams go on runs in the NBA that's because they make adjustments and a lot of the time when teams are getting blown out the bench comes in and that's when they make their runs.
When I'm playing some cheeser on online they're not making any adjustments at halftime. They'll deny ball and play everyone tight from start to finish.
My complaint is that I feel I have no control when other teams are going on runs. It's feels forced.
One of my theory's is that if you're hot in the 1st half the game recognizes that and tries to average out your shooting percentages by lowering them in the 2nd half.
I actually tested this out a few months back. In the 1st half I would sag off all perimeter players and completely lock down the paint and force my opponents to take 3s. I wouldn't manually switch on-ball to close out on shooters like I normally do. My opponents would go nuts from 3 in the 1st half and I would not make any adjustments. 2nd half comes and my opponents would continue to shoot 3s but they would not drop anymore.
Using this strategy I managed to go on a 15 game win-streak with the Knicks (while Carmelo was out of the lineup due to injury). Same story every game. Opponent goes crazy from 3 in the 1st half and goes dead cold in the 2nd. I eventually ran into a Thunder user who managed to kill me from 3 the entire game. Opponent went 6-10 from 3 with Roberson who has a 3 point rating in the 60s. I assume he mastered his release because Roberson has a 3 point rating in the 60s. Ended up losing the game by about 18.
Anyway, I challenge you guys to test out this theory to see if you guys get the same result.
