Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Yeah there has to be a HUGE shift in how defenders that leave their feet and time blocks badly are punished. Steals too....guys cant be reaching like this, MISS and still be in perfect position.

OAN: This can't be what being "elite" at 2K means...(this guy had 100 win % before this game) spamming steal? throwing long passes? pausing during FTs? He thought an early lead was gonna save him.

And Jimmy (elite defender) forgetting how to navigate screens on that last shot? C'MON. I have to be worried about Ibaka if they pass back to the inbounder AND cover Kawhi? I can only control one person.....we need our defenders to play to their ability, please.

I really hope that my Mike Wang is paying attention to your threads when it comes to defense. Minus that I disagree a little bit with some of the online sliders for shooting/contesting, I think the offense is fine in PNO. Not sure how your awareness will translate to Park and JRC, since those modes are their bread and butter.

Your suggested changes would almost make the Sharp/Stretches REALLY overpowered, because people would be picking up fouls left and right.

Lakers aren't that hard to beat though, the Cavs were much harder last year.

Reminds me of when Curry, Klay were out last season. It was fun playing a variety of teams for once and if I did get Dubs I was lickin my chops...hmm I wonder who they wi try to score with every single time. KD by himself on that roster was like a tier 3 team.

Not sure I understand. Explain.

Yeah, I'm with you on this Kushmir. Fact is that "open" shots off the PnR (i.e. shots where the ball defender gets caught on the shooter's side, or they reach around the pick or whatever what have you) fall far too reliably, as do open shots in general, imo. There has to be more of a penalty for over-dribbling on these looks.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

steph curry is on fire and ai controlled lonzo ball waiting for him at the free throw line. and with how stupid this ****ing game is, i cant even make this guy sprint up and before i know it this guy is pulling up for a 30 footer which in 2k's logic is automatic. what the **** is up with the turbo button??? this **** was never a problem before this past month. why the **** is it a new issue??? the warriors are already a challenge to defend and they still handicapping my players. ****in stupid

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

I've seen worse, my PG is closer to the baseline sometimes not the FT line even though I have Smother/Smother on FFS.

So everytime Curry brings it up i have manually get up on him cus I know these cheesers are going to launch a 30ft er that will go in.

Even worse is the cheesers who are loosing and don't know how to play they are usually the ones that start launching 30fters in desperation....but they go in...

I guess it wouldn't matter as much in PNO with NBA teams, since it 1v1 with 5 players. I was thinking more in Park and JRC. Those non-punished jumps and steal attempts helps in guarding a Stretch/Sharp trying to abuse the PnR. If you start "punishing" people for bad blocks/steal attempts those player types will be making endless trips to the line and/or people will end up being scared to contest their shots. People are already complaining about how OP those archetypes are, but I guess the counter would be to make shot contest more effective.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Had a guy a few games ago successfully spam spin layups or spin and throw an alley after spin instead of finishing.It was one of those head shaking in frustration games.

None of these guys actually want to run offense other than 5 out iso or manual p&r. Non stop going back and forth behind picks waiting for the roll or for you to guess wrong.

I really wish they'd nerf the AI defense reaction time because you can't break them down with lag, it's almost impossible. They'll always slide back in front of you or use the forcefeild barrier to bump you. They'll also block damn near anything in paint with any player.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Can you dashboard all the way up until before tipoff ??

I thought you couldn’t do this as you would still get a loss ?

Some guy just did it to me and I didn’t get a win ?

IMO punishing bad timing much more important....its a crack in the gameplay that HAS to be addressed or savvy players will continue to take advantage of it. ESPECIALLY at the ends of games where its most dangerous. The problem you're describing is better resolved like you suggested: By better rewarding shot contests and calling illegal screens.

CASE IN POINT: My last game, I establish Embiid early so people have to help and leave people open. But in this instance I catch Bradley in the post, Gallinari (bad defender) helps and has horrible timing...doesn't matter. He still gets the block on the way down.

Of note: Gallinari would struggle to make that play with PERFECT timing.

Same game, one possession later...Gortat this time. I've always talked about how shooters suffer more than anyone from the anything-goes block timing and here's an example. Embiid gets hit--easy call. Except 2K gameplay late likes to pretend like every late PVP situation is a 50-50 ball so everybody has a "chance". Thats the worst kind of cop-out and has no place in H2H. If I isolate Harden vs Boban on the wing for the last possession that isn't a 50/50 situation. If you've got Derrick Henry vs Jalen Mills in a 1-on-1 goal-line situation that can't be a 50/50 situation. You've put your player in a situation to be successful better than I did. Thats part of what being "good at the game" entails--exploiting matchups.

Notice how bad Gortat's timing is: He's at the apex of his jump and Embiid hasn't even shot the ball yet. [emoji849]

And lowering shooting percentage to a more realistic rate across the board would help too. As it is, jumping at the shooter is one of your few hopes in JRC
