Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

To me, those are the worst games to have. I have plenty of games why I work for open shots and clean looks, but I'm shooting some measly percentage blow 43%. On the other hand, my opponent is jacking mostly ill-advised shots, and he's shooting a better percentage while grabbing offensive rebounds and getting fouls.

Pretty much my experience.

Shot making is so difficult most of the time where as my opponent hits 3s with Shumpert. Capela makes a long 2 wtf. My theory on lag and shot making for opponent held true once again.

First game in a while the dude fast breaks all game and hunts me. I had to off-ball because the lag was so bad he would score with ease everytime on me. Got blown out by 30 to a dude that showed no sign of any skill. I couldn't buy a bucket even trying to run plays etc.

I've probably only had a handful of games where I was on the giving end EVERYTHING went in amd defense was so easy. I assume the opponent had some kind of lag or there a glitch in this game that favors one player over another and I don't mean momentum I know the difference.

I didn't know where to post this. But since I've heard the 2008 Hornets weren't in the 2k20. I started playing with them even though they have no bench. Yes, they one of the few teams without any kind of bench. Only Bonzi Wells comes off the bench.

CP3 and Tyson Chandler/David West are probably the best pick and roll Duo I've played with after Stockton and Malone. If it wasn't for playing them the whole game lol. And calling all kinds of weird timeouts. Just to keep them a float lol

What do you mean by "hunts me"?

What do you mean by "hunts me"?

He just means going after the guy he's defending--I think. I actually like when they come after Redick because trust me, its not gonna end like they think. That said, I like what Madden did by removing the circle under the user...I just HATE "tells" in gameplay. That way guys have to target the worst defender or the guy who's out of position (very often the user) instead of "hunting".

I feel the same way about Takeover and Greens, obviously. Let the opponent figure that out. Get all that clutter off my screen. [emoji23]

GTA online would be 10x better if you didn't get a name over every user and their exact location didn't show on the mini-map. Let us do some guesswork--it makes for a more organic, exciting game. Its not like we couldn't easily figure out who the users are by noticing who drives the craziest or is walking around shooting people.

So WB guards Lebron all game and then cries when they pass to Lebron and score? This "hunts me" concept is a little wacko, isn't it?

I totally agree with everything else you said, but I just do not understand the concept of crying about someone passing the ball to the player WB is guarding.

"Hey! You can pass it to Curry! I am guarding him! What are you trying to do?!?!? Hunt me?!?!?!?!" I mean it sounds really really lame.

Is there an edit feature on these forums? This is my first time here.

No, no, no you're right...if you go online you have to be prepared for whatever the opponent does. I don't think he was whining tho. It sounds like his connection is bad and because of that, the "hunting" is really effective.

Nah...he's a solid player with a poor internet connection. Welcome to the Forums. There should be a "Edit" button in the same box as your post.

I think the circle is removed on the PS4 version, or it was just added back to the XB1 version. I know there was a time where you didn't know which defender your opponent was controlling. Personally, I could always still tell, so it didn't matter to me either way.

hahaha Speaking of off-ball. I played this guy bigceltic last night.... I had the 08 Hornets and he had the current Warriors. But I just started playing the Hornets this week. Probably one of the hardest teams to play with. Because they have no bench. Just Bonzi Well. Everyone else is one of those William brothers lol. I've said this before. But I play the same style of defense each time vs the Warriors. I Gap on Cousins. Livingston, Iggy, and Looney. And Leave him on Green. And then tight on any other shooters (KD, Curry, and Klay). Remember I have 08 Hornets or NO. And this guy has the nerves to message me during the game "Dude offball?" "Really?" "Nice gameplan u ****ing sweat". I get up by 20. Because all he keeps doing is isolating with KD or Curry. After he quits in the beginning of the 3rd. I start sending him screen shots of players wide open lol

Thanks.I am still not seeing the edit button, but maybe it will show after a certain amount of posts.

Does anyone know what PNO will be like this year? Last year the setup left much to be desired.

I run so many plays that I really don't care where someone plays. If they try to "hide" on a wing, they are going to have a bad time. It is probably easiest to guard me on ball, but I really don't care how other people play. It is my job to beat them.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

My final record for 2k19, it was pretty good year for pno at least on PC. It was the smoothest online mode, last 3 months it was almost offline like. Just annoying that all time teams could match up vs current/historic teams and I did avoid those games by quitting before game start .
Gameplay wise it wasn't most fun though . Way too easy to hit semi-open shots, even with average shooters and post scoring ridiculous powerful. I didnt like how passing worked either, always bad passing angles , unrealistic players reaction time to intercept passing lanes.
Another funny thing that only special to 2k19 PNO was people rage quitting. Its always been the case that somebody would just quit early when im up big early or if i just get big lead eventually. But this year, especially, people would just insta quit if I only gain a little momentum in the game with small lead, like go from -6 to +4 before 1st half time and its insta rage quit, so silly.

Most games I've used 01-02 Kings. Webber insanely good, definitely top 3 player you can use in PNO . Corner freelance works perfect with this team, its 3-2 based offense. You can initiate by feeding webber in high post and u get instant cut from passer and follow up off ball screen action to sf (or sg) on the weak side, so you always have 3-4 good scoring options.

Bingo. But why? Because dudes were out there not doing what they were supposed to be doing lol. You're savvy enough to spot that kind of thing....so PROPS. [emoji1534][emoji1534][emoji1534]

Regarding the circle its actually the PSN name, my bad. I heard its the other way around on Xbox...can anyone confirm?
