    Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

    I’m really really really happy that all of us are exposing this mythical “switch” that 2k has for PNO. I’ve been on to it since 2k16. But now it seems that all of us are seeing this.

    This is my ONE item I want fixed/done away with.

    NBA 2K20 - less script, more gameplay.

      I don't know about that. I'm not going to subscribe to the theory that game keeps the game close. Some of problems that I have is mostly legacy issues that seem to favor the opponent more than myself. I really don't have any problems with lag, since I moved to the ethernet connection.

      Some games I just chalk up purely to bad luck. For example, I hate when I play good defense to get deflections and blocks, but the ball ends up with the offense in a manner where they get a BETTER possession than before. I swear that's been happening since NBA 2K17. Yet, it seems like that my opponent can merely run into me, and I just cough up the ball. My favorite is when I icon pass to someone on one side of the paint, but my opponent's AI can one arm steal the ball from the other side of the paint. On the other hand, I can anticipate a pass myself, but he can zip pass me with no consequences.

      Overall, I'm really liking the online play this year, but I do get those occasional legacy issues/situations that just make me mad. Now that they fixed the shot clock, this might be my main online game.

        I honestly don't like how overpowered some Superstars are in his game especially KD & Lebron.

        Yes these guys are unstoppable in real life, but in the video game world these boosts aren't wanted by most of us...especially in 5 min quarters.

        Lebron basically makes every contact layup. Had a guy do pretty well with him today. Honestly I couldn't tell if it was a user or the AI. He did go 0-7 from 3 trying to hit those long 3 Lebron hit the other night, but everything else was automatic.

        I went 13-15 with KD and 4-4 on 3s in the same game. It seemed realistic, but some of the shots definitely could've been misses.

          Stupid badges, and the quarters really should be at least 6 minutes.

          The more I think about it, and the comments that I've made in the patch thread, it's probably time to accept that we're no longer the target audience. NBA 2K caters to the people who want to jack up an ungodly amount of 3's, play as little defense, and abuse the badges of the superstars.

          We're the remaining OGs when it comes to online NBA games. We had our time.

            This could be a really good game if they fix the things that need to be fixed and tone some down. It's the things that get a abused by players that ruin it for the most part.

            If I could get rid of the lag maybe I'd enjoy myself more.

              First game back and after patch 6. I noticed they moved Timberwolves to tier 2.

              I played this guy who was seriously trying to abused the hop step into the paint. Just shut him down ran some new plays I was trying out and then tried the pnr game just [emoji357] that down but for some reason when I got a heavy contested shot it still went in! Bottom line he quit after going up by 10.

                  So many times I think to myself no way that play would've happened if this dude wasn't mashing.

                  There's an easy fix to all the mashing.

                  If you don't have the ball and you press square or jump then your energy goes down a little...oh wait that would mean energy should have some impact on shooting too....

                  IRL a human cannot constantly jump or swipe at the air without loosing energy.

                    Any chance 2k will unlock classic teams for older generation players to fully enjoy the game?

                    Or at least don't lock back the classic teams after we have painstakingly unlocked them?

                      I was using Denver in tier 2. But now that Twolves are in the same tier I’m running with them.

                      Or try the Spurs since you know derozan well.

                      Lastly, just try the Pelicans the MVP unibrow!

                        See, I'm excited about this because I no longer need to use the Bucks in T2 to compete on the defensive side of the ball. I have enjoyed using the Blazers and Wizards thus far. Spurs can be fun. Nuggets look great but I haven't used them yet. There is a world of possibilities with no Bucks!

                          Honestly, it's less about energy to me and more about positioning. He's swiping at air? He should be out of position as I fly past, but so often, that doesn't happen. He keeps stabbing his hand toward me til the ball pops free.

                          Positioning needs to matter more than it does

                            Probably the pelicans. Dominant player with capable shooters around him. Kinda like the bucks. Probably the least re-learning of the tier 2 teams.

                                Will the ever implement true shooting % for online? I’m sick of having to stick to every ball handler like Patrick Beverly. I was playing a knicks user and just wanted to test out if I layed off non shooters like Frank Nkitinina (I know I butchered that) and Vonleh how many threes would he make. Needless to say he made about four in a row
