Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

The lag is killing me.

Had to off-ball half the time cus I'm always out of place...even off-balling doesn't work well.

I had at least 3-4 fouls committed by the AI each quarter every time I off-ball....unbelievable.

The ai fouls have gotten out of control. I don't remember them being his bad at release. Sometimes then can get like 2-3 in a row.

Lol...good old Microsoft. They take their communication policy seriously. I hate when people have the nerve to message you afterwards like they beat the brakes off you, and it's like...Dude! You BARELY won although you was using every possible exploit possible to win.

I played someone other day where he used a "money play" where he would initiate the play from the wing, and 2 players would lineup on the other wing while a 3rd player would start in the corner. The corner player would run through a double screen, but for whatever reason my other AI defenders would drop down into the paint like they were trying to defend a roll man. He nailed two open shots, and missed the 3rd shot. I recognized the play and played stupid by slightly adjusting to it, because he was trying to do it 3-5 times each quarter when he needed a bucket. He was mildly successful, but I was killing on him defense, so it didn't really matter to me.

In the 4th quarter with two minutes left, I started playing the passing lane, and stole the pass like 4 times in a row. My 4 point lead, became 10+ real quick. I messaged him afterwards..."That was a nice money play that you was giving me. Thanks for the quick points, lol!".

Lmao! I have the similar play but end up with a lob dunk constantly it was ridiculous but once I made him miss couple of times just blew up the score lol.

THERE IS A FREELANCE TO BEAT 2-3 ZONE JUST LOOK IT UP

Which one? Because the 2-3 zone offense kind of struggles with it for me. I have more success running out of Horns Set against the zone, but it's still not fool-proof.

Can’t even get a game in with the Hawks because it seems like the only Tier 3 teams that people play with are all time Tier 3 teams...

Winning is everything and any cost right! That’s what this guy thought [emoji189]! Run, full court press, play off ball! Use timeouts in the 3rd quarter because his bench sucks since he doesn’t know how to use them. End results too much fouls. Easy win for me lmao [emoji23]

It's in the freelance. I've only used it once.

Yeah, I thought about moving up again, but I actually like playing in the Development League.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Just played a few games with Indy and holy moly I’ve been missing out! Myles Turner and Sabonis wreck the paint! I love controlling the paint as I feel a solid front court can dictate the game when everyone else is running small 4s. The first game was against the Hawks. This guy was awful if I took away the drive and kick. He’s prob a solid player otherwise. What killed him was putting Vince Carter at PF lmao. Every time down I’d post up Carter for an easy 2pts. Got a rage quit by the 3rd Q.

The next game I’m playing the Nets. This dude has a 59% win percentage, 73% in the NBA tier (my tier). I start the game shooting 13/13! Kurucs is in awful post PF even though he’s 6’9 because he has 50 STR. I bullied the combo of him and Carrol all first half. My opponent though ate me up with DLO and Dinwiddie. Second half and he starts helping to stop my post barrage. I start to kick outside and go 5/7 from 3. TJ MF LEAF is a huge blessing. He has 65 3pt rating but maybe it’s his bronze catch and shoot badge cuz he hits threes at a high rate. There’s just so much shooting on this team. I do think Sabonis is a little OP. Dude has 80 3pt rating but he’s taken 16 on the season, making 9. That’s 1 three made per 8 games (rounded up from 7.88) through 71 games played. But I’m 2k he’s a lethal threat inside and outside. I ended up winning by 5. My opponent fought to come back from 13 and 12 at two separate points in the game. I milked the clock late 4th taking the sails out of his artificial comeback. What a fun game though!

Yeah...them Pacers are kinda an OP Tier 2 team with their shooting and incredible depth. I've beaten some Tier 1 and Historical teams with them. I've finally decided to just start Sabonis at the 4, and have Young/O'Quinn as the backup frontcourt behind him and Turner. Otherwise, this team is a jump shooting beast (which probably explains why I don't get a lot FTs). I like that both my starting bigs can shoot 3's, because it keeps people from camping with their Center or PF respectively. Like you, if they want to play small ball with their PF, then I just abuse them with Sabonis. Turner is little bit light in the butt, and he does play good rim protection when I need him too.

Honestly, I can't wait until VO comes back. I'll have a better defensive player in the backcourt who can attack the paint and draw fouls. Then I can make Evans my backup PG in a game where height is more important than the ratings. The crazy part (like the real life counterparts) I lose a majority of my games, because I dig myself a hole in the 1st quarter due to poor shooting and stupid turnovers despite Indiana being one of the lower turnover prone teams in the NBA.

However, the Kings have been giving fits of late. WCS has to be one the most overrated offensive rebounding bigs in the game.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Lag, lag and more lag. Everyone doing full court press now and running around swiping at the ball again.

They ramped up steals making passing even more broke.

Same old garbage with p&r being the only way people can score.

Dumb question. Did you have lag problems with the previous titles? I would be lying if I told you if my connection is perfect. I don't have lag or latency issues. I just have moments in the game where the game slows down, and I'm unable to play for about 3-5 seconds. It usually ends up in me turning the ball over, because I ran out of bounds, or my opponent gets an uncontested shot due to me not being able to keep up with the action.

Never this bad.

The last 2 days showed how bad this game is.

Today someone put Giannis at center and scored 33 points meanwhile Chris Middleton has no more than 4. Just constant chesse.

This person also did the full court press just like everyone else has been doing. Players wide open but passes just fly out of bounds or get bobbled or tipped because they nerfed the hell out of long passes.

The majority of people playing aren't doing anything skillfully on either end.They play off ball while you get lagged and bumped by the ai, passes telepathically stollen. Zig zag behind screens until you make a mistake.

I'm just tired of the garbage and they need some fresh minds at 2ksports minus Czar.

I like to rock a starting five of Collison, Wes, Bog, Turner at the 4, and Leaf at the 5. Depending on the C matchup, I’ll have Turner guard the C. Turner against 4s is a mismatch and the average user (even in the NBA tier) doesn’t think to change the matchup against Turner and instead, will try subbing in a diff small ball PF lol. Then my bench I have Sabonis and Quinn at the 4 and 5. Thad Young in the few games I’ve played doesn’t see time. Might experiment with him as a big ball 3... My closing lineup is Collins/Reke, Matthews, Bog, Sabonis, Turner. I love having the bigger Reke at PG but if the defending PG is a weak defender, I’ll roll with Collison because he’s easy to penetrate with.

I’d say the one hole this team has is a shutdown defender. Even when I’ve played them, I light up whoever is on Lillard/McCollum. Facing DLO and Dinwiddie, Matthews was decent but just too slow to keep up consistently.
