Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

The lack of awareness by the CPU is just incredible, year after year they talk about how they've done this that and the third, yet the defender will leave a great shooter in the corner to help on a drive that's already contained. That's a legacy issue that they swore they fixed last year which of course they didn't.


Stamina drain doesn't even matter, people run around with John Wall & Giannis all game long full court pressing, doubling, spamming steal and they're as fresh as ever too.

Yeah floppy it doesn’t matter the settings either. I’ve had defenders that I set to deny ball and they’ll still leave shooters like Beal to come help.

I think the game is overall programmed to run through ACE no matter if you turn it off.

I had a guy up 8 at the end of the 3rd call 4 straight timeouts and spend the full minute on each...not sure if he was trying to get me to quit or what. There should be a penalty for that just like there is for excessive penalties..

I ended up winning by 6. Had to be petty and use all my remaining timeouts in that final minute though [emoji38]

He probably used them because you lose them when the 4th quarter starts.

But there are guys who let the timeout run the entire minute. Those are the ones that are trying to agitate you. He's one of those for sure 🤣

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Hey guys, I climbed to div 5 and I have troubles in defense. I watched sam pham videos so I have his settings but it isn't as efficient as past years.

So here my questions :

1) Do you think that Sam Pham defensive settings really work ?

2) How do you defend against Pick and fade ? I just played against a Celtics player who only did this. Either I :

- Played the center, it was the best strategy but my point guard would regurlarly get blown by Kyrie.

- Played the point guard but the center would sleep.

- Played another player to help but it was an easy 3

3) Do you feel that defense got nerfed? Regurlarly, my IA teamates make so much stupid moves. I feel like a fireman who needs to close every hole in the defense.

4) Do you feel that contesting really work? I tried going up with stick, going down...but it never really works. I take dumb contested shots on my face all the time.

5) How do you improve on on-ball defending ? I get blown by like everytime. Just one bad left stick tap...and i'm owned. It's like the opposite player just waits for the bad animation to score a bucket.


I'm really frustrated. Game was hard at first with the hard defense but it forced to make plays and to build the attack. Now, I feel like you just need to exploit a defensive mistake to take a dumb bucket.

And yeah, I'm taking 3s by Jordan or Mcgee in the corner as well -_-

I can't say much about sam Pham settings because i don't use them, but yeah man playing on ball defense can be very frustrating.

Players are doing the side to side movements that are tough to respond to once they get a favorable reaction from you.

With shooting being so easy it's tough to give space and get a good contest, but i think as long as you contest the shot it could cause a miss.

For players who abuse drives i immediately double them and try to force a pass and try to get a body on the best shooter. Guy's like John Wall and Giannis will dunk on anyone in the paint.

Honestly playing the Center is the easiest way to defend. Just stay with the opposing center and bump him out of position. Use the right stick hands up because jumping will almost always foul.

I set deny on evey real perimeter shooter and moderate or gap on everyone else.

My teammates don't even make back on defense sometimes. They definitely changed something because players used to hustle back now i don't know what the hell doing most of the time.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

I think the one thing that would probably fix most issues with playing user to user online is adjusting the speed either for the offensive players or defensive players.

Or maybe even both.

Seems like players can keep up with every pass when out of position to contests shots. Again, because either...

A) The passes are happening too slow
B) Defending players are able to move too fast

Same goes for when you have someone that is going for multiple blocks. You get them up into the air with a solid pump fake. And before you can go up with your shot, they've already jumped to block your shot attempt. Or you can make a solid pass to a man open at the rim, and the defending player can run over and get get the block because they either put the shot up with a slow animation or the offensive player will put up a terribly lazy attempt that any of us could block ourselves. Lol

And with playing the passing lanes, the difference in speed on each side of the ball seems to be the issue there too. Your teammates inbound the ball WAY too slow. The dreaded spammer can run into position to intercept the pass as your inbounder (after a miss) is taking his sweet little time to make the pass you've been calling for forever.

Same applies to the animations that occur sometimes when trying to move the ball. Some passes are rage inducing because the player isn't making the pass with any type of urgency. Which leads to easy steals. Passing needs more "snap" to them...and the man receiving the ball needs to "come to the ball", which something that is taught to basketball players from an early age.

With the way the game is set up, users have the advantage that players don't in real life of being able to see the whole floor. This is unlike in real basketball where the focus of a defending player is highly concentrated, so he isn't able to make reads and react like a human "God" that is playing a videgame.

You combine that with defending players able to initiate a steal or block instantaneously, with those animations happening much quicker than those on the offensive side of the ball, and I think we have the root of our problems online.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Am i the only one seeing the game give out false or undeserved runs ? You usually can tell what's going on because the pace of the game will change out of nowhere and everything will feel fast as hell.

During that time you'll likely see more bs like increased steals and more shot makes.

10 point leads are not safe around half time and mid 4th quarter and If you don't withstand the run you will blow the game.

Might seem realistic but i don't like that the game is dictating runs.

100% agree. To me, the "percentages" and defensive effectiveness is backwards. If the game played perimeter defense like it played interior defense and inside shots went in at a higher rate, I think the game would be perfect.

Personally, the passing hasn't been a sore spot for me like it has been for most people. Most of my turnovers are still mainly from the spot up shooter targeting into the paint as soon I pass them the ball.

I don't believe that there are artificial runs. I know that I mentioned it earlier in this thread that this game can be a nail biter when you have two people play, and each person know what they're doing plus not abusing game exploits. This year, I have had plenty of games go back and forth until the 4th quarter, then one of us make some critical mistakes where the other person is able to blow the game wide open.

The last time I had this feeling is NBA 2K11, and I get this same feeling when I play chess.

This guy didn't know anything about anything but I'm up 10 and he makes this heavily contested layup during a game induced run followed by more bs.

I still won, but even this guy knew he didn't deserve the run because of his actions afterwards which i won't get into.

There are definitely artificial runs in this game, the easiest way to tell is that when someone has missed several bad shots, the very first open shot they get is likely to go in even if it's a bad shooter. There are plenty of times where you go up big in this game only to have the other user comeback out of nowhere without any adjustments to their gameplan, the stuff that wasn't working miraculously starts working in the fourth quarter - deep bombs from average shooters, offensive rebounds, loose balls, your CPU teammates fouling with 1 second left on the shot clock etc.

I've played too many games of 2k not to feel when a cheesey run is coming.
