Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

I used the Warriors the other day, and I hit a couple 28-footers with Curry. I'm not brave enough to venture out to 30-35 feet, but Curry in this game is already god-tier if you know how to use him and the Warriors. I also had 8-13-13 with Draymond and Klay dropped 22. I won handily.

I hope they don't mess anything up trying to fix something that's not really broken. The way the AI uses Curry is much more important than making him as good in a user's hands as he is IRL.

I am referring to playing solely against the CPU, not against a User. Those tendencies advancements can make the CPU play much more like their real life counterpart while factoring in how well they perform with great defense and under pressure situations.

I want to feel like Steph is gonna get the ball at the end of the 4th and possibly shoot a thirty-five footer with three seconds left on the clock, not play near the three point line because I know he won't shoot that far out and the CPU will wait till clock is closer to 0.0.

He needs to be more dynamic. Ratings are mostly fine.

I agree with this. I just hope that, in those situations, the CPU will know that it is better to get a shot closer to the three-point line.

Curry only took that shot against OKC (I assume) because the game was tied. If they're down, I bet he tries to get a better shot.

Basically, the CPU needs to know that yes, shooting a 35-footer with Curry is an option, but it's not the only option.

They should also hunt more for threes like Curry does. He'll spend a good 2-3 seconds dancing behind the three-point line waiting for the defender to mess up and give him an inch of space, and then launch. I'd like to see that out of the AI.

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

While adding new badges/ratings could work, I think the easiest solution is to change the rating/tendency scale.

If Steph's 3 pt shot tendency is 99 then that should mean he jacks up threes left and right.

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

I've always thought that badges ect were totally unnecessary. It's been the player tendencies that make or break the rosters in this game. Whenever they were done properly (along with the ratings tweaks) players performed the way they should. Badges seem to be fixing a non existent problem.

Badges do things that ratings can't, like increase ratings in specific situation, or allowing players' presence to affect the ratings of other players.

As I said before, in previous years when player tendencies and ratings were properly edited you got mostly true to life results. I think thats about all anyone wants out of a sports game.

We don't need to debate about this. I don't think badges are going away any time soon.

And I don't mean that in a mean-spirited or hostile way. I apologize if it came off that way. I just don't want to derail the thread.

I highly doubt the devs make major game play additions or subtractions based on message board debates of any kind.

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

That Warriors game against San Antonio, in my opinion, proves that Curry's ability to make extra long threes is based on rhythm. He has to be hot. If he's bricking normal threes, he damn sure isn't gonna make em from 30 feet with consistency.

Just like I was saying earlier, if you're not on a hot streak with Curry, or you're not WIDE open, shots from 28+ shouldn't have a chance. I honestly don't see the big deal about it possibly being overpowered. Curry knows only to take those really long shots when he's feeling it. Hold the user responsible for doing so as well.

It's after a rather tough back to back against Dallas so it's not totally representative. He was hitting crazy shots against Dallas.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the best defense in the league played pretty much the best defense possible and he struggled.

Why not look up how many games this season, where Curry made at least one 28-foot or further shot, were the second of back-to-backs?

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Just wanna say that NBA 2K may want to consider changing their current ratings system, due to what Curry's currently doing.

Totally agree!

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Don't you think you are rushing a bit?

Regular season hasn't even finished. And you are talking about greatest season ever?

For all we know Steph could get an injury tomorrow and not play in any play-off game.

For all we know, he might be disqualified first round with GSW, or even get the second ring in a row, but he could have really bad Finals.

Would that still be a best season ever? Up to now Curry never won a Finals MVP.

Iggy did last year. He carried his team when the teams leader was struggling against Dellavedova and a 6-7 man Cavs rotation due to injuries.

I was never really a Bulls fan. But MJ became the GOAT not because he scored 30 points or magnificent baskets in regular season.

He was named GOAT because he was deciding in winning titles. He won play-off series with fever, with final shots, with last defense, with 3s, with steals on last defense, with assist to an open teammate after drawing 2-3 players on him.

He was 6 TIMES FINALS MVP! Do you even know/seen what he has done in the play-offs? The finals?

So yes I am ready to accept when someone does a better season than MJ, but Curry still hasn't. Maybe he will, but please don't tell me that he has done best season ever because GSW are winning most games in regular season...

Do we even remember which team had the record for most wins before the Bulls? I don't! Did we call the leader of that team the GOAT before MJ because he led his team to most wins in regural season? It is nonsense.

I will be really happy to witness such dominance as MJ from another player in Play-off series.

I will be double-happy if this is done by a player like Curry, who is proving you do not need to be a super-athlete like MJ/Lebron etc to make it if you 've got enough talent.

In the end, did Curry had the best season ever?
