I know in years past it was annoying to miss shots when using a 7 footer matched against a smaller defender but it’s gone too far the other way this year. I think STR is too important and with inside being easy to manufacture space, it’s really really hard to play good post defense without always helping. The downside to doing this, the switch everything defense would be insanely OP too. I’d also like to see sharper rotations defensively.

    To keep the game fresh for me I’ve gone to using all time teams a bit more. I love the All time Kong’s in tier 3. Tier 2 the Bucks have been my go to now. They really should be a tier 1 all time team because of Giannis but they’d be outmatched with BOS, LAL, GS, etc.
    They need to do something about this fast break nonsense 9 out 10 opponents are doing it. Drain the energy faster if they are doing it every singe play.

    Then I believe a super fast break exists also. I seen dudes pause and change some settings where it seems they run even faster or get out on the break more quickly I can't tell but they become hyper quick!

      Pretty much. I tried the Classic New Jersey Nets team to do something different. Felt like I was using the original lob city, lol. I'm going to start trying a few Classic teams here and there, since I'm not high enough to unlock any All-Time teams.

      I tried playing NBA 2K 18 just so I can play with some of the all-time teams, and I couldn't do it. The blow by animation was just too annoying for me.

          Some days, I wish they would drop the shooting sliders just a little bit.

            Well I just spent the last 3 hours playing with lag against no subbing gatorade, fast break, off balling, hunt for the human cheesers.

            Won most lost a few. Frustrating to say the least playing games that come down to the wire against meatheads with no level of thought. Can't blame the game it's my lag. FIX THAT LAG **** 2K.....

            I'd be actually happy to loose to someone who I felt had some level of skill other than push forward pass pass...where's the human...oh he's out of place cus of lag...shoot.

            So many times I anticipate the pass - oh you want to pass to your superstar or someone on the break...what a surprise...deflect....oh it's not a steal it goes out bounds back to the opponent...I know it's the lag BS but it's so annoying.

            Mash Mash Mash....oh you got the ball back....Time out Time out Time out...oh you got your energy back...wow the level of skill is outstanding...

              I have no problem with people who want to rage quit games. Getting blown out and don't want to waste your time or mine? I don't judge, matter fact I appreciate it. Let's both move on and get to the next game.

              I have 0 respect however for guys who just go AFK and rack up 5-second/8-second violations and have the game force them out. That stuff absolutely infuriates me lol.

              Played some guy, who I hit a three to go up 16 and he just left with about 40 seconds left in the 3rd and the game went on for a good 10-15 minutes longer than it should have. Real lame.

                Lol...must be Venting Day. I just got done playing a person that hit 19 threes against me, and was using a screen on every possession. Most of it was my fault, cuz I didn't expect Gasol to hit that many threes like he did. I just made some critical mistakes in the final two minutes of the game. I was leading for good majority of the game.

                  I just found out something really disappointing. Chris Bosh isn't on the 2012 Heat team. I made it all the way to college for no reason. Guess I'll play with the 2006 Suns or 2002 Kings or 2001 Lakers.

                    Was on like a 25 game win streak in GOAT tier with current Raptors , I ran into some dude who used All Time Lakers. This guy naturally had Magic and Kobe in the backcourt, fine I'm cool with that. Then as I look further I see Shaq at the 3, then Wilt and Kareem in the front court......I'm thinking naaaaah dude prolly made a mistake, he gonna sub that out. A few dead balls later I realize Shaq is still there. In fact, Shaq was subbed in and out as the 3 throughout the game. It literally took something so unrealistic like that to stop my streak lol.

                    Funniest part of it all I message dude n tell him I've never seen that in my life my whole 2k career until today (true story). Dude legit said I sound dumb cause SHAQ HAS A+ STEAL RATING HE CAN GUARD 1-5 and he did his job. Smh. Shame on him and anybody who does this.

                      Obviously just a cheat which is most All Time dudes. Why bother playing him with a current team.

                        What 2K, should be doing is any player playing out from their natural positions should get a decrease in their ratings!

                          My first game back in about a week. Using ‘11 Mavs vs Current OKC Thunder. I start out in a serious rut. Don’t even get a made shot until prob 2 minutes left in the quarter. He’s up ten at various points but I close to 8 to close the quarter.

                          2nd Quarter begins and we both have our benches in. I’m playing around with my lineups because I’ve never used the ‘11 Mavs. My experiences vs OKC since Roberson has been added back to the roster have all led to me losing. Whether Roberson and PG usually shut down my perimeter offense and Adams is Aussie Shaq. I claw back in it with Dirk at C and Marion at PF. The defense is quick and offense Dirk is giving him fits. He’s helping off shooters to defend him. OKC is up 24-22 then Adams goes beast mode on OREBS. Now it’s 32-22. At half I make a post fade with Dirk at buzzer.

                          I put Jason Terry I’m at PG and run with Terry/Brewer/Butler/Marion/Dirk for the first 3 minutes of 3rd Q. I actually go on a nice run and go up 36-34. OKC gets a bucket then I call Timeout. Thinking long game, my dudes all have 70 stamina right now and won’t last. I put in Barea/Peja/BRIAN CARDINAL/Haywood/Chandler. I’m thinking I’m just gonna bleed clock then burn some timeouts to get Dirk and Co. back on the floor. I kid you not, I go on a 13-0 run with this trash lineup lmao. Peja knocks down two threes. Barea draws a foul as does Haywood. Haywood has 36 free throw but sinks both free throws. My opponent rage quit after his next miss. I put this lineup in to stall the clock, work the post, and hope not to go down by too much. I mean, Barea is the only dude who can drive right now. Instead they take bad shots and I kill them in the transition game.

                            dam DMC is back. I was enjoying beating Dubs cheesers with ease.

                            When KD comes back it's dashboard time...all though I do try my luck at times to challenge myself haha.

                              Or some kind of game play advantage at least. In IRL you could blow past Shaq on the permiter with ease.

                                It’s because 2k has **** ratings. They have no clue how lateral quickness and shot contest work. Collin Sexton who was TERRIBLE defensively this, has like mid 70s in both, making him one of the better defenders on the Cavs. Same thing with Shaq having 70 lateral quickness and 82 speed (though he was fast). He can defend the perimeter pretty damn well. I did some experimenting earlier in the season with Thon Maker at PG on the Bucks and only got cooked like twice in about 7 or 8 games. 2K’s ratings get really lazy as the season goes on every year. Don’t even get me started on Zach Lavine being an 86....

                                Anyway I made GOAT. Philly is so cheesy. Blew out the Warriors and Celtics with them. The Warriors user was awful but the Celtics dude prob beats me if I don’t have Ben Simmons. Also the 02 Kings are fun to run with. The Carmelo Knicks are fun too. 2k19 really undervalued Melo at that time. Pretty sure 2k12 he was above 90.
