Hello, this is my first message on OS, I've got a question that I think belongs here, here it goes. I created a roster where I used Synergy2k to create myself, with my height and weight and all, on a MyLeague save file, to play just with that player like a MyCareer mode, the thing is that almost every game I play my attributes are changed, I enter the games and sometimes I have more 3pt than what I ussually have, a lot of the time my player drops 2 or 3 entire overalls just in-game because literally every stat drops 2 or 3 points or even more for offensive stats, what is this related to?

I’m sorry if it has been asked already, but I’m looking for information on gameplan options, specifically what «get shooters open», «play through» etc. actually does on offense.

I’ve been searching both google and the op forums, unsuccessfully, so any help on this would be deeply appreciated.

If you have your offensive play calling on auto like I do (or if you turn ACE on), this is when you'll see the work.

Get Shooters Open: you can choose the player or pick Auto and it will randomly select any of your top three point shooters that's on the court at that specific time and run plays for them to get open.

Play Through: based on the person you choose every play up the court will be called design for that person. For example, if you choose to play through LeBron every play will be for him until you change it. This is great for when you want to get certain guys involved or just focused on scoring with one person to get them going.

Pick n roll: will call only pick-and-roll plays for the person you choose.

Hey,
in MyLeague your player's overall ratings (and any attribute at all) is impacted by your team's chemistry. So if your team has a 20% chemistry, you are gonna see the ratings of your players drop. I think if your chemistry is above 80% you will see a slight increase.

Thanks a lot for this. So «Play through» hasn’t really got as much to do with playmaking as it does scoring? The reason I ask is that I’m running a myleague with player lock on Jokic, and I’m looking to recreate his role from real life. Currently much of my responsibility revolves around scoring, would like to be much more of a dimer, but I’m lacking the Nuggets cuts and movement from real life. It’s been a challenge between freelances, plays and series.

Closest I’ve gotten is YAK’s roster and sliders, which are awesome, and I’m more involved as a center, but a lot of it are PnFs. Was hoping for a quick fix with gameplan.

How do you make your players not cut while they are in their freelance?

Any tips on how to deal with non-shooters on higher difficulties? I'm playing Superstar and the game is destroying my defense with guys like Jarrett Allen. He just went 6/6 on me from behind the arc... because I'm playing GAP on him.

Do I really need to guard everyone, even extreme non-shooters, up close? That is breaking my defense.

I’m having a lot of trouble with pump faking or picking up my dribble.

Almost every time I drive and I try to pump fake, instead of picking up my dribble, my player will go into the step back dribble animation sequence.

Sometimes while I’m dribbling, defensive help will move towards the dribbler and when I try to hit square or right stick quick to pick up my dribble, my player goes into the step back dribble sequence.

I’m on ps4 and in previous 2k games, I’ve used quick tap of square or quick right stick to pump fake or pick up dribble and it seems to not inititiate it the majority of the time in this years game.

What am I doing wrong ? Do I need to hold down r2 or r1. I’ve tried different things but can’t got anything to work.

Thanks in advance.

You might be able to do a fake pass and use that as a shot fake, depebds who your playing against if its a user they might fall for it.

Anybody on here know how to defend the driving baseline cheese. Either I'm trash or there is some sort of trick to defending this. The people i be playing against just force a drive baseline and get this animation where they force their way past the defender and make the lay up almost every time.

Ok thanks will try it.

I only play offline vs cpu with adjusted sliders on superstar. Am I just doing something wrong with the standard pump fake controls or is it just tougher to initiate this year?

Re: NBA 2K19 Teach Me How To Thread : Tips, Plays, Defense

In thse situations i like to use off ball control and make the shooter run to the open spot myself. Too many times they cut when i want them to apot up, or vice versa. Its not an ideal fix but it happens maybe once or twice a quarter.

R1, hold down player icon, move him, release to pass. R1 again to cancel.

Its not hard once you get the hang of it.

I'm trying to do this and it just preform an icon pass, I cant control the player. Am I missing something here?

So I Played around with defensive settings and after many things didnt work like I thought they should, i gave samphams settings a try. myles Turner as the defender of clint capella (or deandre Jordan in another game) was Set to leave him, all players had help and no rotation.
end result was that Turner was playing deny defense in the weakside corner on non shooting bigs. can anyone explain why this Was the result and what i can do to achieve a Good help rotation?

My defensive settings are always like this.
ALL off Ball & on Ball=Moderate
Screen Help Rules & Drive Help Rules= NO Help ALL
Off Ball Screen =Go Under ALL
Force Direction =Baseline ALL
Switch Rules= switch Guards ALL
Now on specific players:Good Shooters i set off Ball =Tight
On really bad shooters from outside i set to SAG OFF.
If you set it to LEAVE HIM then your defender will sag off BUT he will try to be a help defender & double team others when he feel likes to & make holes in D.
Even with settings there times that your D will make mistakes but i found these settings to be best option by far regarding how your cpu players play D.
You can set to play specific (really good players) tight on Ball D
