    Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

    I don't actually think flagrants are random. Most of the time when I saw it being called is because the dude is just turbo jumping the whole game trying to block shots.

    So when I see it get called I'm not exactly surprised, it was bound to happen.

      I welcome the randomness, but I swear it's never at a time where I can shrug my shoulders and keep it moving. It seems like it happens at times where I can lose the game or unable to win the game. Maybe it does, and I only remember the times where it nearly or did costed me the game.

            Philly only scores 40.8% of their points in the paint per game. You scored 77.4% of your points in the paint. That doesn't seem very sim, bra. In a 12 min quarter game, you would have scored well over 100 points in the paint. Really really not sim.

              I mean... you're right, having that many paint points is crazy and wouldn't happen IRL, but to have more, even a lot more, paint points than an actual game isn't necessarily "not sim," IMO. Being sim is running sets to score your points. If you're obsessed with scoring x number of paint points, x number of points off of 3s, etc... I don't imagine you're going to win a lot of games online. I think it's all about taking what the defense is giving. If they're giving up the outside, I take the outside. If I'm having an easier time scoring inside, that's what I'll take. If they give the mid-range, I'll try to take a little in the mid-range.

              This attitude is exactly why I don't fit in with most "Sim" leagues. They expect you to play in a way that is totally counter-intuitive. If they've set a PIP limit, and I hit that limit, all of a sudden I've gotta completely avoid the paint, which isn't realistic in and of itself. Likewise, if I say "Oh no, I'm at 50% PIP, better tone it down," in a common PNO game, your opponent is going to notice that you're forcing it from the outside more and shut that down. I really don't think that to be a "sim" player you have to be beholden to certain percentage of points from certain points on the floor. I think it's much more sim to take what you are being given and getting your points off of sets that get you to the areas of the floor where your opponent is not defending as well.

              I just really feel like it's ridiculous to be constantly thinking about that in order to get your "sim" street cred rather than just playing the game.

                I agree. I'm the same way. I just take what the defense gives me and let the stats fall where they lie. For the most part, I run a balanced offense, I'll naturally start leaning towards a certain style depending on my opponent.

                  Starting to use Portland again... forgot how deadly and efficient C.J McCullom is from anywhere on the floor🔥. Dame is definitely the best player on the team but when I really need a bucket with them.... C.J is the guy

                  Come 4th Quarter tho it’s Dame time 😂🤷🏽*♂️

                    My last game....hopefully that meets with the sim community's approval lol. We all know how important that is. [emoji849]

                    PNO really needs a NBA queue where we play vs current teams from any tier....playing the same 4-5 teams gets monotonous--the league is about stars and matchups. Not playing against 75% of the other teams isn't fun. I remember playing POR in 2K16--we were talent deficient but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of playing them and teams like CLE/OKC.

                      I’m so sick of the BS AI in this game. They are Gary Payton on the perimeter/Dikembe mutombo with blocks no matter who they are. But when it comes to rotation, help defense, transition defense(even after made FG), etc they are Jabari parker

                        Junior College must be sweet spot for balanced competition [emoji16]. Not too high where I'm constantly playing against professional bums or All-Time teams, but not too low where I'm always beating up on newbies.

                        I've been playing a lot more of late, so now I'm trying to dig myself out of the losing record hole. The launch day format forced me to take a lot of L's in the beginning.

                          You don't have to prove your game style against anyone. Play the game as you want to play the game.

                                You know what's sad about this game? When you take away your opponents' one gimmick to score, these fools fall apart.

                                It's like, how do you play a game like basketball, and only know one way to play the game?
