    Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

    Tbh I do t struggle much vs other Portland users. They all Jack terrible shots with Lillard and quit in the 2nd q. The trick with using Portland imo is working their bench. Evan Turner as PG is filthy at getting to the hoop. Meyers Leonard is a beast stretch 5 if you can get his release. Then mix in some Hood and Layman. I personally don’t play Curry. I like to go big on the bench with ET and Hood at guards. Gives me size and shooters. Sometimes I’ll start Collins and play Aminu off the bench. But yeah, Portland isn’t that good if you can’t work the others. Leonard’s release is slow af so ppl usually suck with him even if wide open. Then they have no clue what to do with Turner and try to force Seth Curry into awful situations.

    Every rockets user I play is also terrible. They all just shoot threes with harden. I had one dude quit at half after going like 1-15 with Harden. I was like “no way this guy is in my tier he prob just bought the game.”

      Yeah, Portland is really starting to piss me off. There's nothing special about this f*cking team, but I keep losing to them. It's literally the same thing. Jack up shots with Damian Lillard, Kanter snatches up all the offensive rebounds, steal spamming (yet this team can avoid fouls, but I'm picking them up left and right), and for whatever reason my team always decides to shoot below 40% while getting blocked or missing numerous layup attempts.

      I can't even leave Kanter open, because my last opponent shot 2/3 from 3PT land with him while Myles Turner is airballing his 3PT attempts.

        If you don't have Kidd like I do. I'd just trap the **** out of him. Most of these guys have no clue how pass with him. I'd save until around the 4th.


        This guy quit after every drive he had with Lillard get stripped or blocked. The first ten points I scored were on breaks. That was my first half court possession lol. And he was off balling as you can see.

          I had one guy play a lineup with the Blazers of Lillard, CJ, Hood, Harkless and Chief. I think it's great if you have a plan of attack... But Even Todd MacCulloch eats.

          But in this other game. I can see why Kanter is ****ing annoying lol

            Watching Embiid dominate today made me realize all of the 76ers 2K users hardly use him lol.

            It's Simmons all the way then 3s with Redick, Butler, Harris...geez. Even Butler is under utilized, so much offensive prowess compared to Simmons who I just sag all day on and wait for the drive haha.

            Know your personnel!

                  Re: NBA 2K19 Play Now Online Thread

                  Man I’m rusty. Haven’t played in over a month till yesterday. Actually, I got a few games in like Thursday when I made that post about being cheeks with the Heat and Wizards too OP for tier 3.

                  Yesterday I’m Pacers vs Blazers. I’m up 16-7 after first Q. I can tell This guy is good from the way he works the PnR but he was converting. I I’m 20-9 and I start to take my foot off the gas. Been awhile since I’ve played competitively and I was dumb and let him back in it. I’m taking piss poor shots and not rotating on defense correctly (I offball don’t hate the player hate the 2 servers 2K has). He then adjusts and is running a high PnR with Lillard every time down. I can’t get a stop. I’m down 32-47 after 3. This guy is good and I really shot myself in the foot underestimating him from only five minutes of play. Now I’m playing sweaty and close the gap to 47-51 while he rests his starters. In comes the starters and I just can’t get a stop. Moral of the story here is that recognize my opponent was legit and I made mistakes instead of blaming the game like many in this thread do. He adjusted his play style and clamped up my bigs hitting threes (Indy Sabonis and Turner OP) and I didn’t adjust and I quit pushing what was working when I had a sizeable lead.

                  Next game I lose by 1 to NOP while being Indy again.

                  Taking time off from this game then jumping back into the grind at NBA tier is hard af. I then got matched against some dude with a 0% win percentage after 3 minutes in que. Garbage opponent. I suspect he was somewhere in the bottom tiers. If I stayed at the bottom just to farm wins and feel good about myself I’d prob rock a 95% win percentage.

                      Just started playing with the Pacers now that I can use Oladipo. They are amazing running the Flow offense. I get so many easy back cuts against off-ballers.

                      I used to never run cut plays, but I'm starting to see that they are gold.

                      I might have to run the Nuggets offense and see what that looks like with Jokic.

                        So when I defend Giannis with Pj Tucker, Giannis can steamroll over me. When I use giannis defended by *wait for it* Austin mf Rivers, he cant power his way through him. Where is the logic here? lol then i also gotta deal with multiple moving screens on an ai defender while im out here playing on ball d drawing no illegal screens. I really dont get it. It's either this games rigged or **** luck on 98% of the games i play

                            If you got lag and they are off balling then this is a must have in your arsenal.

                            I used to use with Spread The Floor in 2k18 as it prevented other teammates from cutting and bringing defenders to clog the lane. Don't think that kind of offensive style exists this year. Is there another style that is effective with cut to the basket?

                            Essentially it is the same as 4/5 out I think. I haven't tried those.

                              I manual cut. I never tried it that way since it always felt too late. I use quickplays for post ups though.

                              I can catch people who swipe for steals using manual cuts if I get it off early enough. It kills people who try to pick off downscreen plays or swipe, press, and double in the back court.

                                I might have to run the Nuggets offense and see what that looks like with Jokic.
                                Most teams have a big man who can defend Jokic.

                                So it usually ends up being Millsap that has the mismatch and goes off for huge point totals.
