    Actually, you probably could by utilizing the series and freelances this year. I'm tired of losing, so I've been practicing hard in the scrimmage mode to find which ones work best for the teams I use. A lot of them use screens and force good OFFBALL movement. Watching a lot of videos on dribble moves and how to properly run players into screens. People tend to play offball on players that tend stick to a certain area of the floor. I've seen a couple of freelances where the AI recognizes that the defender is cheating and will move to an open area of the floor.

      The struggle is REAL Jr! Forcing us to use teams we don’t normally use is a true test! But the worst thing is when you got guys who off ball the whole game! But 2K gives them A+ def rating that says 80% on ball but in reality he’s off ball the whole game. My last complain why can they fix the rating of teams in proper tiers. Wizards should be in tier 2 with an overall 94 compared to other teams!

        The struggle is too real. What I'm learning about myself is that I have an history with the Pacers, and how little attention I pay to other teams in the league. With the Pacers, I don't have to guess what the players are and are not capable of doing, because I watch their games. I know who they picked up or signed and the why's behind. When I catch the ball behind the 3PT line with Thad Young, I immediately know that he's an alright shooter, so I'm taking a chance if I take the shot. As I stated before, I only went with OKC in Tier 1, because of Paul George and my ego refuses to use the Golden State Warriors.

          Sounds cheesy, especially since I’ve never played lithos way in previous 2k’s, but I’ve been abusing the pick n’ roll/pick n’ pop/horns flare this year — especially against guys that pretty much solely guard off the ball/like to control the big roaming in the paint.

            Just released another video with tips for playing online...

            Messed around and got tricked into playing the classic bulls. Thought I was walking into an easy win (sorry bulls fans). Like someone else in here pointed out, you should check which team you are ACTUALLY playing before you hit that ready button. Lol

                I hate to complain about this game because its alot better than 2k18 but my only issue is that an elite team taking terrible shots can beat a bad team taking great shots

                  As I was saying classic teams are actually easier to play against as they don't have a bunch of 3pt shooters. Know the personnel then it becomes easy. Bill cartwright
                  ..give me a break ignore that guy all day.

                  Jordan is someone I will offball. Mix it up:

                  - Double him on the perimeter or as he drives as the offballer. Don't paint camp.

                  - Let 2 AI defenders double him and anticipate the steal as they pass out. 99% they will only pass around the perimeter depending on the offensive style set. Steals should be easier this year

                  - If they are somewhat clever they will start anticipating your double so do fake doubles. Run at him as the offballer then run back and try to steal as he passes back to your man. 99% will just pass back to the man you left. Again this should be even easier this year to get that steal. 2k18 rarely did I get a steal due to it's no defense policies...you end up mashing steal in anger as you wonder how it wasn't a perfectly timed steal between the pass and all you can do it make the guy fumble only for him to pick the ball up again.

                  - Play him onball sometimes to confuse him. I will do this first actually to assess their skills and if the game is allowing them to hit eveything. I'm not bothering with complicated D if he can't even beat me 1on1 with super stars lol

                  It's not just Jordan you do this against all the top players. As I keep saying mix it up.

                    Anybody else have a delay when icon passing? Sometimes the buttons pop up over the players heads and I press one of the buttons and it doesn’t pass to the player sometimes and it cost me a few big possessions

                        And if someone chooses bulls then of course I know they will try shoot with Jordan 99% of the time...to easy to win.
                        And THIS is why I love the 96 Sonics: Hawkins, Schrempf, Perkins, Brickowski, Wingate, Askew, Payton and McMillan ALL have three balls that are viable at least. Throw in Kemp and Ervin Johnson dominating the paint on both sides and they seem like a really solid pick. Only problem is that they are in T2 with the Bucks, but I am excited to get to a point where I can use them

                            Up 15 in the 4th..to many fouls penalty the dude takes the win. I play him again and go up 15 in the first cus I make an effort not to reach...he quits lol

                            Then play another dude fast break cheese, drive kick out drive kick out...same old **** but it's hard to defend cus I'm still learning.

                            Usually there is a learning curve each year but this one takes the cake.

                            We've gone from offensive rebound craziness to the AI flying out of no where to grab the steal lol.

                            2K dev meeting last year: "guys every1 is complaining about defense and they can't steal from anyone". Devs: "Noted" ...go and program the AI to jump all over the place for the steal...

                              Can someone explain this foul penalty? Some games, it seems like it's easy to get, and some games it feels like it never kicks in when it should.

                                I don't see how defense is a "thing" this year, when everyone and their mom is shooting 55-80%! I never saw someone shoot 80% in 18, like people are posting in this thread. Shooting is WAY too good now. YES I know about hands up defense.



                                I stopped playing last week after Tim Hardaway (JR), went 8/8 from Mid range and 3pt. Did they fix that yet?



                                I LOVED 2k18 online, except for hip ride blow by and offensive rebounding.
