    Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

    This matchmaking is out of hand. Why am I constantly being matched against Tier 1 teams when I'm using a Tier 3 team? I get that I may be in a higher league than other available players, but leagues don't really seem to matter since you can just never advance if you don't want to. It's also not like I'm getting matched against a Tier 2 Team that is close in talent, I'm matched against all 99 rated top tier teams like the Warriors and 76ers as I'm using a trash tier John Brown filled Tier 3 team who doesn't have one player as good as the worst starter on the other team.

    If I'm going to be forced to play with lower tier teams that I don't want to play with, at least match me against other players who may be doing the same. Don't force me to use gimped teams, then stack the deck against me by putting me against much higher rated teams, while knowing that I'm matched against someone of equal skill.

    With the ability to get extra wins for winning with lower Tier teams now gone, I have no incentive to play with a Tier 3 team other than being forced to, and when that happens it's worsened by the fact that I will increasingly be matched against players with MUCH better teams than me.

    I'm being punished for doing what the game forces me to do.

      I feel it. I was JUST talking about how I can lock down teams with a good big man and perimeter defender, and that's dead now. It not just the made layups, it's the fouls. I have my players on passive and I'm controlling the defender and contesting away while in good position and my opponent still gets terrible calls just for forcing it.

      This game is getting too frustrating to keep up with.

        Don't know if it was the last in game update but lag is even worse somehow now. I was switchin between ISPs too and both were bad.

        Can't make an open 3 to save my life.

        But dudes be doing fade aways, long 2s, contested paint shots with Yokic and hitting 100% of his shots...he even hit a full court shot with him as the icing on the cake.

        I still won but man that was the biggest load of BS I have played against in a while.

        I created the group message to call out the BS and he said Hi first then I ranted about all the BS and he never replied. I felt bad after the dude probably just doesn't know how to play but everything went in for him lol.

          I agree the Dubs "momentum" mode is a bit different than other teams....

          I haven't bothered to play them for a few weeks. I'm much happier these days lol

          Just can't stand playing novices who flick the shoot button and Curry makes it from way behind the 3 line and then make contested Klay 3s after making no effort to get open whatsoever. They just expect it to go in...and it does.

            Who needs Curry when you got Hernangomez drilling it from mid court.

            Geez I was at least 1 second behind in lag with the dude. He had no idea what he was doing, all he knew was hover around the top of the key and pass to the guy I'm guarding and it worked because I couldn't play D with all the lag, even off balling didn't work well. I tried to stay away from the ball and keep up with my defender as much as possible.

            Still smashed him in the end

            My theory still holds true, the more lag you have the better the shooter the opponent becomes.

              okay so why am i ALWAYS getting matched up with Tier 1 99 overall teams no matter what tier I am using?

              The last week or so i play tier 1 teams every time no matter if im using the 76ers or the Hawks.

                Jumped online for the first time in over a month and choose Philly. Changed my coach’s settings, lineup etc. in the countdown. Game starts and I see Durant, Harden, and Ibaka on the court. It dawns on me I’m playing an all time team. I was aggravated but like screw it, run it. The entire first half was back and forth with the biggest lead being about 5 points by each team. He was trash though. Bailed out constantly by his team all game. Did nothing but PnF with Westbrook and any shooter close to him, jacked up contested off balanced shoots with Durant, went something like 3/4 from 3 with Ibaka, and NEVER SUBBED at all.

                The 3rd quarter is when the bs really begin. My players were losing the ball easily, leaving his shooters on PnRs to help in the paint when the drive was already sniffed out, bricking open shots that I was hitting in the first half, and slow to get back while he turbo down court every possession.

                With all that said, my biggest gripe is the no subbing all game. He only had two players with the gatorade symbol at the end of the 2nd, and 3 at the end of the 4th. I just don’t understand how 2k can’t address this. You should not be able to call 3 TOs back to back to back in the 3rd then 2 TOs back to back in the 4th to give your players instant boosts of stamina. That’s just straight up exploiting the game and has been in 2k for years now.

                  Unfortunately, 2K will never address it and NEVER make any changes going forward I bet you!

                  The frustrating thing about this game is that there’s a small amount of users / community who play the game fair! Without using any type of exploit at all, but just want that true competition of testing their skills and wit. But it will always get ruin due to the facts this will be forever be a video game first. Despite, having won multiple awards for its creativity and enhancements 2K will be known for an exploiting game! One YouTube user says you gotta know the cheese to play this game!

                    I really would wish they fix the offensive rebounding in certain scenarios. I hate playing good defense to force a bad shot, I got four players underneath to grab a rebound over a good-sized area, and the damn shot becomes a long offensive rebound to the ONE player who's being properly boxed which leads to a 3PT shot for the four lead with 6 seconds left on the clock.

                      Everytime I have a nice stretch of good games, I eventually play one where the "I seriously hate this game" feeling comes right back.

                      I dropped 2 straight NBA League tier 2 games after going 3-1 in tier 1.

                      1 loss against a bum *** Blazers user who got saved by manual screen suction and another to a bum *** Bulls user who literally just sprinted to the rim every possession.

                        You should be able to stop those fast breakers by now haha.

                        However when you got lag and you're trying to on ball you can easily go down 10-20pts in 1st before you realize...wait a minute this dude is just pushing forwards towards the rim and I'm actually making worse trying to on ball when I'm a second behind the action.

                        Then you decide to cut off the supply. ACE off. Limit Transiton on. Make your comeback but on occassion it's to late.

                          Yeah that's exactly what happened and I actually took the lead, but the lag and his off ball made it hard to score because you know Otto Porter makes them such a great defensive team that everyone turns into a brick wall.

                            its so stupid especially when you got ai who cant understand when to make a simple switch or stick to their man. the ai makes the wrong defensive read every single time defending the pick n roll. if i stick the ball handler the ai will still leave his man. if i make the switch, the ai will go back to his original man. i gotta control two players at once just to avoid this **** its so stupid

                              You should see if the users your playing against automatically switch to half court press. As you know it will ante up the cpu defence but will drain their energy fast. Pushing the ball up court fast is one way to know for sure.
