    I'll never understand how it's the responsibility of your opponents to remember how many pauses you have left. I don't care if I'm up 20 points or down 20 points, I'm going to take the win every time.

It’s amazing how you can use Alvin Williams and Antonio Davis like a prime AI and Hakeem. Good work kid. But one last thing, the lag......oh my man the lag !!! LOL. If you only knew what was coming........you’ll be 16 years of older, have a wife, have kids, you’ll still be playing this game online head to head, but in NBA 2k19, the lag will be worse, really ?? Lag will be worse 16 years later ? Hasn’t technology advanced ? No young buck, it hasn’t, it’s actually worse, just wait and see”.


      I just don’t understand on how 2K this big corporation and yet they still can’t get their online service to run smooth!

      I’m running at 120mbps download and yet I’m getting lag online! Service provider says everything is green and running smoothly.

        What level is everyone playing on? I swear I'm almost playing a completely different game than everybody else. Steal spamming hasn't been a real problem for me. Honestly, I wasn't having a problem with the game when lane stealing was overpowered. The only steals that really bother me are the ones when the defender steals it from behind as if I'm passing the ball directly to him although my teammate is in perfect position to catch the ball.

          I almost lost it the first time that happened to me. It cost me the game. I was up 1 with 5 seconds left, while holding LT and moving away from the defender, he stole the ball for the dunk to win. I was done.

            It's crazy to me because when the game first came out steals were SUPER unbalanced, and yet... there was a clear counter in protect ball. Now, steals are a bit better balanced in terms of prevalence at least, but protect ball is no longer a consistent counter

              [emoji23] I hate that happened to you tho. Yeah I learned in 2K18 not to trust Protect Ball the hard way. I hold it almost constantly when i'm play calling but I NEVER stop moving.

                There's nothing worse than losing a game by 5 points after being down as much as 19 points then to go back to the shot summary and see that you deflected 5 passes that went back to the offense for a better scoring situation, he got away with 5 offensive 3 second calls, and you lost 3 50/50 chances. On

                That burns me up! I busted my butt to play defense, and he got away with so much BS. Some teams *cough*Spurs*cough* will not turnover the ball no matter how solid your defense is.

                  This game is so trash. How you score little to no points with your guards and win?

                  Easy just spam pick and roll. There's no help once the bigg leaves the paint or any rotation and the ai is completely stupid, so you have to manually bounce between going over or under the pick and still bump the bigg so he doesn't get a clean roll.

                  I gotta put this game down.

                    Yeah the PNR defense is really bad. Earlier game I broadcasted on Twitch, check these out:

                    This guy was pretty good and had an 80% win pct. He was out of his league but the real question is why are we still playing defense to mitigate the silly stuff by the AI?

                    That he even throws this pass tells you players know defenders aren't competent. No one throws a pass at a defender expecting him not to react unless you're playing 2K. Less mechanics allowing guys to double down then recover to the 3pt line and more BASIC competency by our defenders. This should be an easy deflection out of bounds--address the issue with the offense recovering 80% of loose balls please.

                    Stop asking me why I play off-ball. Because if I don't? This is the SG open like this [emoji849]. Everybody's accounted for and Amir crashes down? For what? I shouldn't have to put tight D on guys for my defenders not to leave them:

                    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TWxd7A9Uzrc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

                    We can't be everywhere so our defenders simply can't do this stuff. Horford has a 95 mid-range/81-3pt and JoJo's daydreaming on the other side of the court? C'MON. Stop putting OP steal mechanics in the game and address the core positioning stuff PLEASE and THANK YOU.

                    The switches in this game are sooooo bad it makes my head hurt. Guys switch for no reason and put the defense in ridiculous positions. Seriously? Why in heaven's name would Chandler leave his guy in a situation like this?

                    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LdB4f3uh02g" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

                    This is the play that broke this guy [emoji23] and even though I don't quit it would have pissed me off too. This is what OP defensive mechanics gets you. JoJo can really move his feet but doesn't stand a chance vs Kyrie. And why do they switch to begin with? Mismatches like his are why blocking fouls should be back in the game.

                      You're still trying to guard the PnR yourself? I'll play on-ball defense when my opponent uses it every once in a while, but if that's their only offense then I move to off-ball defense and cheat off the non-3PT shooting threat.

                        It's frustrating, but I like to play on ball in all situations.

                          That's gonna be problematic--the AI defenders leave the roller open in so many situations. If you dont make sure your big drops PNR is gonna cause issues.

                            They certainly do, but sometimes I'm able to stop it. It's when the ball handler goes back and forth is when i get thrown off.

                                A long time ago...I used to be like you . Between NBA 2K18 (blowby and snatchback animations) and NBA 2K19 (PnR abuse), I finally decided to let go of the desire to play on-ball defense on every possession and in particular when my opponent is abusing an exploit. The offense is too far ahead of the defense in this game, and it's just not worth the headache and bragging points anymore. I play more or less to get my basketball fix, but I don't play no where near the same level of competitiveness like I did in NBA 2K11. Don't get me wrong...I still hate losing, but I'm beyond the mindset of trying to beat my opponents "my way".
