Re: Note to 2K: Please Do Not NERF your game.

Noobs gonna cry about defense. Already seeing it.

Glad that you here bro.

Whats your opinion on a shooting in park??

I think its to easy arleady seeing lockdowns knocking 3-4 3s per game if i leave them open.

This whole skill gap in shooting is a joke because everybody can full a bar to get a green like cmon its not hard at all....

Im without badges 76 open 3 right now and my 3p % is 60.

Saw shotcreating playmaker with 70% after 30games he is probably abussing pick and roll meastero....

2K has earned every single penny they got from me this year. If guys want 2k18 ball they can keep playing that. Much respect to what you guys put together this year.

FACTS. It's funny, I'm talking to a few friends bitching about defense in a party:

Them: "I can't do anything! It's so OP!"
Me: "Third straight game of 25 pts, 15 ast with a Playmaking Slasher"
Them: "HOW ARE YOU SCORING AND PASSING!?"

Re: Note to 2K: Please Do Not NERF your game.

While I don't want 2k to touch the defense as I think it's pretty good, they DO in fact need to touch the steals and countless reach ins. It's getting stupid.

Fouls committed by both teams in a full game? About 30.

Of these 30, there are roughly 20 that are reach in fouls from the over abundance of the CPU AI trying to steal.

It's insane. Needs to be toned down.

Re: Note to 2K: Please Do Not NERF your game.

honestly, I think you guys are being too stubborn, last year happened the same time and people praised the blowby and how realistic the game was compared to 2k17... honestly I feel like onball steals are overtuned and post-scoring is too effective, same with Injuries being too frequent

I’m really tempted to put the “old man yells at cloud” thing from The Simpsons but I’ll fight the urge.

Nonetheless, aren’t all of the “patch 1.04” problems fixed if you have a physical copy and revert back to the patch 1 version?

Is that 30 combined (15 fouls per team)?

30 fouls total for both teams yep. Now read my entire post.

Yes I did read your entire post, I just didn't know if it was 30 combined for both teams (15 each), or 30 each for total of 60 fouls per game. I simply posted stats to get a perspective between 2k versus IRL NBA.

So approximately:
60 fouls/average 2k,
35-45 fouls/average IRL NBA.

Is that pretty consistent with your timing playing 2k19? (Just to get some perspective, I don't have the game yet).

Strawberry my post wasn't centered around how many fouls there were, but how many fouls from REACH INS because the CPU is trying to steal way too much. The foul numbers themselves look good though.

Are those the same reach ins where multiple players (usually about 2 players on offense and 2 players on defense) come together usually outside the paint more towards the midrange area that are exactly the same as those from 2k18 where it’s completely out of your control? Those were a bit much because I could see them always coming even before the foul was called. Fouls were called on the off-ball user teammate and on the cpu hof. It was sort of always frustrating to see those types of fouls. But I just kind of went with it.

Edit: The thing was that these types of reach ins were never ever successful unfortunately. To me these 2k18 type of reach in fouls were more cosmetic than anything else

I'm not sure about that. I player lock to the point guard and I get reached in on a ton. It's bad to the point where by the middle of the 1st quarter , both teams are in the Bonus.

Bonus in the middle of the first seems a bit much, personally I don’t really pay attention to even IRL statistics much, so if anyone could dig up some stats to put things into perspective, but bonus in the middle of the first without even looking at stats seems excessive. I’m assuming lots of players completely fouling out of games possibly?

Re: Note to 2K: Please Do Not NERF your game.

I hope to God 2K does not give into the casuals this time around.

I've only played offline thus far. But man.... This is by far the best edition of the series at release. And it's not even close. The gameplay simply rewards you for playing BASKETBALL. Not videogame-ball like '18.

I love it. I've nearly mastered about 1/3 of the series sets along with a couple of the freelances. Last night a buddy of mine and I started a myleague. Over the last four years we've played hundreds of hours of myleague with various teams. But every year, he finds a way to beat me in nearly every head to head match by finding the exploits (typically via pick & roll or force drive to the basket late in the shot clock).

I chose LAL and he took Boston. We simmed through four seasons total and played six games h2h. Before we started, I talked up the game's improvement in defense and the need to play strategic hoops. He claims to be a sim-player and knows the game well.

I beat him in all six matches, three of which were by double figures. He turned the ball over like crazy by over-dribbling into my defenders in the earlier matches but did improve as we continued to play. He struggled to get open looks. He typically runs plays but when no open look presents would always resort to PnR. In the past, this would result in an open roll man or wide open corner three. But not this year. I locked him down and he shot under 45% in five out of the six games.

He was completely unable to utilize Tatum(due to lack of stick skill). Nearly every score was generated by Kyrie's quickness and ability to nail contested jumpers. I actually took several plays off defensively just to allow him to stay somewhat in the game, lol.

I ran my sets and mixed them up frequently. I shot between 50 - 60 % nearly each game due to his inability to stay in proper position defensively along with the bad shots he attempted that led to easy transition opportunities for me. Long-story short, by the time we were done playing he was convinced offense was overpowered due to his inability to contain LeBron and Durant (signed via FA) in Iso situations. LOL.

This game is a hoops-head dream. Please 2K, keep the game as is.
