thanks for the blog, czar. this is what i needed to get me going for this year's installment. all of this new stuff applies to the classic teams as well, right?

Speaking of Classic teams, CZAR can you please relay to the team to please bring back the retro feel of the old teams. Whether it be the retro filters, old stadium sounds, anything to give the legends a little more love would be much appreciated!! Thank you For listening!

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.

how do u do that thru sliders
the skating is very annoying

Do those new gameplay options work across the board for all modes of play through out the entire game?

Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Blog - Now with videos

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?

LOL. Yeah yeah I was raised on 12 min qtrs. so my games take a looooong time to finish and I am intellectually exhausted after some of them but for me that is what makes it fun.

Freelances work whether you use them or not. You can kind of stand anywhere and the system tries to work with you. You can opt into actions or opt out of them. That gives a user great flexibility but I can't do everything I might want because not all users use play art so I can't really require the users to do anything.

With a series there is a defined starting point and defined actions but each successive step is dependant on the defense so the end can be the same or different.

we give you options for just about every defensive counter. So using a series requires more from the user. The user has to want to do these things and because that is the case I can add so many more fine nuances.

The design is such that if you miss one opportunity I bring another to you. There are very very rare cases where You miss everything and I don't bring you to a pick and roll or drive opportunity. There were some situations I got into where no other player was close enough to continue an offensive flow so I just had to end it.

A play is much, much simpler and has a defined start and a defined ending and several places where it can end without a scoring opportunity if you miss a pass or a shot opportunity.

But with everything we have if you turn on play art and learn to follow it you can easily run the most complex NBA offenses. It will just take you some time to get the timing right.

I love how you can throw on the triangle and just follow the art and run that offense.

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.

I think anyone who enjoyed 18 will love 19 for sure. Just my opinion.

Czar- Any update from Scott OG regarding ACE adjustments on lower levels (All-Star or Superstar) as compared to HOF?

In the past, you said we had to play on HOF to optimize the CPU's usage of ACE. Has that changed this year? I prefer to play on All-Star or Superstar because I feel there are some artificial boosts built in for the CPU on HOF difficulty.

Thank you!

I second this. Please have this implemented into the classic teams for 2K19!

Czar, has the Timeout bug been addressed? Basically the cpu rarely called time outs until the end of games.

Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Blog - Now with videos

Is there any chance of a spot-up/cut tendency for players off the ball, that doesn't just affect fast breaks?

I'm pretty sure we already have something for that fam. I think one of those new tendencies added last year covers that. I would have to check to be sure.

[Da_Czar]

Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Blog - Now with videos

Yes last year was the treasure trove of new additions Czar lol.

As far as suggestions going forward, one that I can readily think of off the top of my head may not be a tendency per se but it would be nice to be able to set something for guys who push the break off of defensive rebound but dont bring the ball up court off the inbound (especially these new style bigs).

It could be labeled as "start the break". Would be a simple yes or no type of thing and would be located in the player vitals sections with play initiator and force non starter.

That is in code right now. If the big has a ball control over 70 and he grabs the board he can push it up even if he is not a play initiator.

Forgive me if this has been discussed, but how has post play been changed from last year? As a post player this is the most important part of the game to me.

I'm pretty sure we already have something for that fam. I think one of those new tendencies added last year covers that. I would have to check to be sure.

I just checked and what we did was if you never want a guy to cut to the basket you need to make his spot-up shot three tendency 75 or greater.

If you want him to cut to the basket every-time that number needs to be 25 or below. Then split the range for options like 50/50 etc.

I knew we covered that situation some how.

Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Blog with Plenty of Gameplay Videos (via @Da_Czar)

I understand that. At the same time though I wonder what effect IQ attributes are going to have on individual player performances now as player differentiators, at least on offense. Or is it just that most of the IQ attributes are on defense. I can't remember now lol. What am I missing?

I believe all the IQ stuff is on the defensive end right now.
