4 mins into the game and all I can say is WOW!! Looks great how you incorporated the real life play style of nba teams into the game. This has me wanting to actually play vs the cpu like this now. I just don't know if I can play 12 minute quarters lol. I'm forsure going to have to try all of these series out. Could anyone in a simpler (dumbed down) way explain the main difference between a series and freelance?

Does the engine still use Touches in that situation? Like, for example, a player with 99 Touches tendency w/out mismatch would often be prioritized over a player who has 40 Touches w/mismatch?

It shouldn't be that they'd never attack that hypothetical Klay matchup, it's just that it shouldn't be their whole game plan, IMO.

The system goes by the quality of the mismatch so it naturally covers that scenario. Your 40 touch guy is probably a lot worse player than you 90 touch guy so he has to be way better than his matchup to have a better matchup than your top guy.

Again that is all editable through ACE. but if they go to it and have success, they will keep going to it.

Just like for the Rockets if Capela is hot or in takeover, they are not switching the offense to go him. But Carmelo was different because he is a scorer.

I could lower how much the rockets look to take advantage of mismatches. The other issue is Melo's iso tendencies are probably still high which means anytime he touches the ball on a team that wants to shoot right away... well, Melo going to do what Melo does LOL. So again we can lower his tendencies but all that would be done closer to when the season starts anyway..

2. The new shot contest system is excellent. 1 of the biggest changes from 18 to 19 in terms of realism.


3. Harden played like Harden.


4. Rebounding has looked improved in almost every video.


5. The J Brown back door procedural AI cut went from the practice floor to the game.


6. James Ennis is like 10 for 10 and has yet to miss on any2k19 rockets vid. Ha.


7. Czar plays like someone who is over 40 and is scared to go the rim. Stop shooting all them jumpers. Ha.


Great blog. Great videos. As always we use, and appreciate the strategic additions you add to the game. If you didnt add the stuff to the game you add, i wouldn't buy 2k anymore. Thanks for giving the 5 on 5 real NBA team guys something to enjoy.

Fam! The last thing I need is the AI throwing my stuff back to half-court, yall would never let me live that down. I played it very safe this game because I knew I was recording. I go to the basket a lot more when I'm playing for fun

Okay, that's awesome. I like the fact that we as users can control this to an extent as well, by raising or lowering Touches/Isolation tendency/etc., in addition to the under-the-hood changes you guys make to ACE.

I watched the 12 min quarter and it sounded like a game to me. I have been to games in half of the staidums in the league (not Boston) what was wrong with the sound in that vid? This is me assuming you didnt like it.

I know the fake arena sounds

Didn't hear the zombie chant though

Also harder to tell cause the crowd was dead due to the Rockets getting buckets.

@Czar if you’re gonna bring a freelance back I’m crossing my fingers that Princeton makes it!

The Princeton in this engine would be beautiful.

I'll change a little bit the slider related to the movement of the players. I did it every year at least to limit the skating expecially during lateral movement.

Spurs

Rockets

Zombie chants are starts to listen to

So far the Rockets chant isnt there.

Anyway, don't wanna take away from this blog with audio stuff... there was just a lof of good things given here.

It's like this is directly correlated with MyLeague which should be a freaking blast.

Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Blog - Now with videos

Amazing stuff I really like the freelance and series additions. I am kind of excited for this year as I enjoyed 2k18 and I know for sure this will be even better.

That is gorgeous. I truly can't wait for this game. This is probably my most anticipated title in quite some time. Czar, don't let me down.

Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Blog - Now with videos

A couple of quick things. Remember that these were built for the AI, we do give you as a user access to them but the reads won't be there all day.

There is a rhythm and timing to these that will honestly, probably be difficult for everyone to master right away.

Also, with the exception of some of the horns stuff, series are only available through OTFC. These are not plays at all.

So series are in addition to what is in a team's playbooks. There may be similarities but plays and series are two different things.

They can also be difficult to master because you are working with reads the AI is making on your behalf, so some options you will never see until a certain set of circumstances happen and then you may not see it again.

Against certain defensive settings, it may run the exact same way every time because it's not being forced to adjust. And against other settings or users, it could be adjusting all over the place.

Just remember it was built for the Ai and we are giving you access to it.
