NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Don't get me started on the 93 Bulls dude. He didn't sub anyone out the whole first half. Then he thought he was clever taking Jordan out in the 3rd to save him for the 4th and start jacking 3s with Paxson. As if I didn't notice and sub in bench players lol.

Sure enough he comes out blazing with Jordan hitting ridiculous shots down the stretch he nearly caught up and won but luckily I managed to score a bit to stop the runs.

Tired of playing against all these tricksters...

This game has reverted to 16, 17 where the home team gets a massive advantage in the last few minutes.

Giannis is unstoppable. If he's anywhere around the paint that **** is money. Jumping at it, hands up just doesn't matter.

Then if you aren't guarding him your AI opponent will foul him.

Then you got Brook "Curry" Lopez on the 3 line hitting everything Gatorade sign and all.

Lost 3 straight to Bucks players. Last one he shot 5/7 with Giannis and 3/3 with Lopez. 15/28 overall and they were not all open. He even shot 2 with John Henson...this is the type of player I'm loosing to.

Joke of a game.

Yeah. Giannis has this awkward speed boost when he dribbles the ball into the paint that makes him a pain to guard one-on-one.

Okay. I'm 100% sure Mike Wang secretly updated the sliders. I'm hitting way too many heavily/red contested shots on the inside. Before, lightly contested was a guaranteed miss on the inside. Trust me, I'm NOT complaining, because I feel like I can actually run an inside/outside offense now.

What's everyone's else opinion?

Lol. I just used that Bulls team. Do you know how many HOF badges Jordan have??? That dude is such a scoring machine that I forgot that there were other players on offense that I could have used, lol.

I do feel like I’m making a lot more jumpers especially more green releases.

People pausing with 5 seconds left in the game just because they don't want to quit or actually take the L is baffling to me. Not only is it not accepting the L you earned and learning from it, it's purposely making someone else who earned the win wait just because you are salty. It's not my fault they are trash, and the reason they are trash is because they are more concerned with making someone wait than learning from the loss and getting better.

You don't get to see stats when people quit or when the timer runs out...I'm trying to use all of the historic teams and it's really annoying not being able to view a summary of the games to see how well I played with each team.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

I saw that video yesterday. I'm surprised you pulled off that win.

What you trying to say?!

Naw. Lol...I know. I was too. I really thought it was just a classic team. Then I see Wade, LeBron, and....Shaq? Mourning? This fool done got me! [emoji23]

Those defensive changes made a WORLD of difference man.

Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

Does anyone honestly think 2K19 is a much better game than 18?

I don't.

This is the least I've ever wanted to play an NBA 2K game. I'm even thinking about giving Live a second chance. Everything about the game just turns me off, from the player movement, especially dribbling, to the mechanics.

I think it's time they go to a 2 year development cycle and start replacing the systems like the movement and physics.

They also need a new method for determining makes or misses because this doesn't even look or feel like basketball anymore. It's more, clumsy and clunky.

This honestly isn't about winning or losing, just how i view the game overall.

Lol...I make it habit to check the lineups now, because I walked into a game against the All-Time Warriors with the Classic Pacers team and got blasted! I couldn't even be mad. I thought it was the regular Warriors team, and I wanted a "challenge" that day. My bad, lol.

Honestly, I like NBA 2K19 way more than NBA 2K18. To me, it feels like they addressed they contested 3PT shooting percentages and inside scoring. I'll leave the possibility of placebo. I could be getting better at the game, since Mike Wang never made an official announcement. Minus some unexpected outcomes in certain situations, I don't have any real complaints at the moment. I stopped trying to defend the 4-1PnR abuse myself, and I just let them do it against the AI while I go completely off-ball. I'm done stressing over that nonsense.

Otherwise...I'm good.

When you can run into your own teamate and the ball drops then you know something is wrong lol I saw it happen to the opponent....just laughed to myself.

When the ball bounces to no one off a miss but your team won't get the defensive rebound unless you start mashing square to get it. Also tired of mashing square to fight for loose balls or get the ball back wtf is this encourging mashing of buttons. This is how the cheesers play anyway and now you enhance their capabilities.

2K18 had it's flaws but they look like nothing compared to 2k19.

2K16, 2K17 got it right...much better games for PNO.

You just stated one of the reasons why it's flawed. You now have to off ball...in other words your not playing half the game your just watching.

Even I'm off balling a heap because I can't guard as well as the AI it's to good. At least in 2K18 I could for the most part guard any 5/4 out 1 on 1 so that BS never bothered me.

Mashing enhancements and increased AI D. What is this skills gap they are talking about? They have inadvertently made the skill gap less! A Jon Henson chucking 3s guy can compete now.

Oh no! I'm talking about the fools who want to 4-1PnR on EVERY possession. That's the only time that I go off-ball completely. I don't care about the occasional PnR play, because I call one myself every now and then. I play on-the-ball defense 95% of the time. To me, why I should stress myself over playing against an overpowered tactic? If that's what they want to do, then they can have fun playing against the AI on every possession, since it can go over the screens better than I can. It really doesn't matter now, because I have gotten better at defending it that I force them to abandon the tactic after 5-8 possessions. I give up the 2 instead giving up the 3, because I can create open 3's via a freelance offense versus only using the PnR play.
