Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Is anyone else having a problem with getting called for illegal screens while running freelance? I got called for 3 in one game.

Is this some type of balancing act or am i passing early?

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

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.

That's basketball, man. You're up 20 and then you miss a few shots, they take advantage and all of the sudden it's 12 at the end of the quarter. Then you start the 4th quarter and you turn it over a couple times and take some bad shots because you're pressing. Now it's anyone's game with 4 minutes left.

This game is organic and you will pay for your mistakes, and visa-versa.

Watch a real game and tell me how safe a 20-point lead is in the NBA. Runs like that happen, not because it's "cheese," but because it's basketball. You just feel "cheated" because you hate the feeling you get in your chest when you're on the wrong end of it.

There is definitely a momentum shift that happens in the game. But just like in real life, you have to stall it by calling a timeout.

I mentioned it in my last video, but if you feel a run coming on after you've gone on one yourself or have been comfortably ahead all game, you NEED to call a timeout.

I've lost at least half of my games from runs after I have been up the whole game. Then i think back and realize that I didn't call not one timeout all game.

IRL dudes don't shoot better or make contested 3s or BS layups just because they are on a run. That's the difference.

Extra bursts of energy is the only similarity such as more cutting, hustle plays, players getting down court faster.

As guys have mentioned what bothers me is the opponent has not made any strategic changes but all of sudden this momentum BS kicks in and their players magically get open or swipe the ball on a non risky pass...you can see the AI helping them...it's not a cheated feeling because I also notice when it I'm the beneficiary too...I'm like yeh that was BS.

I have even noticed on these runs the offensive players will hold off the defenders so the dude has a clear path to a layup....I'm like I can see what you are going to do but I'm held off...wtf

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Is offensive rebounds back or have dudes found out the cheat code? Played a few game when they got at least 10+ o-boards.

Mobamba had about 12+ and the whole magic team had 20. Somehow I stole the game right at the end lol It should never have been close anyway.

Timeout cheesers are still around too. I can't tell yet but hopefully it's not boosting their energy as much as last year

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

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.

I've had a number of fast break layups made over made over me like this. Right stick is up and all.

I wouldn't mind it if it happened on ocassion and I thought the guy was a decent player but I know most of the time they are just pulling it out of their ***.

So guys/teams don't get hot and randomly hit 3 or 4 shots in a row and then get a steal and a fast break? Haha that's exactly what a run is - catching fire and scoring while your opponent struggles to answer for a period of time.

You can blame whatever you want to make yourself feel better like "ohhh I was just up 16 now I'm only up 6... THE GAME CHEATS!"

.... Nah, that's basketball. Someone is going on a run against you? You're losing your lead? Counter their actions and execute at the right time. Maybe you did... but just couldn't knock down shots for a 6 minute stretch. It happens. Sometimes you don't make shots, sometimes your opponent gets hot, sometimes you don't play well enough to win. That is realistic basketball.

Well **** i didn't even pass on the first one. Still every game i get 2 of these along with an occasional 3 sec running freelance.

On the other side players constantly running manual p&r never get illegal screens called.

No, no, no. It doesn't happen like that, the game forces these runs. Most of the time the other player hasn't done anything to gain momentum.

Just because i miss a good shot doesn't mean the other should start making everything..especially fade away 3s or smothered layups.

Kareem is my anti-run player, lol. I just hit them with the hook shot. He's the main reason why I like playing with the Bucks. He literally a guaranteed two points, or I can make him a great passing big out of the post.

When I use the Pacers, I just weather the storm when I'm on the receiving end of a run. I came back from 20+ down, and won by 6 in a game before. I made some adjustments, and dude couldn't adjust. It was a game where my opponent was running the 4-1PnR on every possession. I switched to the 2-3 zone while making a few defensive changes. For whatever reason, these 4-1PnR bums don't know how to handle a zone.

Okay so would you prefer the game makes you shoot the same percentage every quarter you play the game?

Go watch a real game of basetball. Jayson Tatum scored 13 points in 3 minutes by himself in real life last night.

Do you think the Hornets sent in a complaint about cheating to the league office because "just because he hit 2 shots doesn't mean he should be able to hit 4 out of 5 shots.... because... um..... I'm losing!"

D up and play smart.

Well i don't mind missing shots, that's not what it's about. I get what your saying, just don't like how they happen when a player isn't playing smart.

Also you can't apply every real situation to this game because we all know a lot of aspects aren't exact or anywhere near. For example you can pretty much not miss FT's with guy's who shot under 60%.

Getting in rhythm is different than just shooting bad shots and finally making one.

No, what is realistic is lineup changes, running different plays, switching up tactics to get guys going. What happens in this game is that a player can literally do everything the exact same from minute 1 to the final minute not changing a single thing, taking bad shots, staying in the backcourt with their C, etc and the game will start to bail them out because they're down big. They aren't making adjustments to get back in the game, they aren't doing anything different other than the game decides it's there time.

Even when a player goes cold, it's a joke because all it takes is like 2 makes to get right back on track Sometimes players just don't have it on a given night, that is realistic basketball, that's not replicated here because everyone is always just a CPU aided run away from getting back in it.

Tend to agree with this...play to your strengths and it evens out....lost a game earlier where I had a handup on a Jaylen Brown three....it happens. Don't forget contest = automatic miss was where we were from 2K15-2K18 and it really hurt the overall experience. I come out ahead in that situation 7 times in 10--not gonna complain about the three I don't when the numbers are right.

Those numbers drop to 5 in 10 when I play Golden State tho [emoji23]
