    Re: The Official #SIMNATION Thread

    Love the game thus far, really enjoy using the snake dribble in P&R situations. Not capable enough with the timing and angles yet to create a consistent driving lane, but I love that the game has a learning curve.

    That said, before I start with my favorite game mode, MyLeague, I need to do something about the rosters. The ratings are all over the place with guys like Joe Ingles being criminally underrated imo.

    I barely played NBA2K18 last year, so I'm not up to date with custom rosters. Which current custom NBA rosters do you guys use?

      The Official #SIMNATION Thread

      There's one qn in my mind, not sure if this is discussed in other thread.
      I find default game speed at 50 too slow, so i bumped it to 53. It plays better for me. However, i'm overwhelmed with how quick the play developed. Like, I catch a pass at the top of the key and collided with a defender off balance, and before I settle my feet the next action Pnr man come over for the screen.
      How abt u guys? I have been playing with 53 in 2K17 so it should work for me in 2K19.
      Playing myleague vs cpu, custom HOF.

        This game is addictive! For anyone having problems driving by defenders, I am slowly figuring it out, this year is less about dribbling and pressing turbo but more about ANGLES AND (TIMING WHEN TO PRESS THE TURBO BUTTON)! Im learning that timing turbo perfectly will result in realistic blow by's but remember, good defenders will still take away tools out of your basket so I would recommend calling plays for a player that is guarded by a good to great defender to get him some good looks from off ball screens, backdoor cuts, dribble hand offs and whatnot, just some things im figuring out. Hope it helps some of my #SimNation partners out. In the words of Da_Czar "Don't play video games, play basketball"

            Im digging the broadcast low camera with zoom on 1 and height on 4, I can see player faces, emotions and all "IN GAME". Looks like im playing with the game in pre-release screenshot graphics mode lol...just a random thought, my bad lol[emoji16]

              Figured I'd post this again since there were a lot of #SimNation goodies.

                Yeah. I noticed this as well and have no problem blowing by defenders ever since. Still... I understand the complain of others, if you are kyrie or harden you should be blowing by easily with just crossovers.


                I really love the game so far other than that and the CPU lack of free throw attempts.

                  I agree about the Kyries and Hardens of the world but we have to think about this one thing...in the video game world if a steph curry could sauce you up like he does in real life on a consistent basis, THE A.I. DEFENSIVE ROTATIONS WILL HAVE TO BE ON POINT to help once they do blow by the defender, if not, the game would become an uncontested layup fest. I do think the game would benefit from penalizing the cpu for reaching at a bad time and gets himself out of position, users should then be able to read and react and get by the defender. But I say all of that to say this, I agree with you and I can understand both sides of the coin. I don't want easy blow by's at all but I think read and react on mistimed reaches would go a long way and result in realistic and organic blow by's by the user, (the cpu is already good at getting by the user if they mistime a reach so it should go both ways if you ask me.)

                        I’ve already touched on this in some of those defensive and impression threads. I also understand the complaints, but yet I don’t.

                        Can users not blow by Harden or Kyrie because the game is tuned incorrectly or is it because these lesser skilled individuals don’t understand the mechanics nor have the proper reflex or simply haven’t figured it out?

                        Should developers accommodate lesser skilled players? If little timmy, whose been playing 2k basketball since he was the age of one, could only mustard up 6 points in a 12 minute quarter on rookie difficulty with the Warriors against the Brooklyn Nets (or insert a terroble defensive team), is that the game’s fault or timmy’s stick skills? If John Doe has a difficult time blowing by poor defenders while Jane Smith has no issues and is able to recreate the one on one simulation experience (easy blow bys against less talented defenders), should the developers patch/tune the game to accommodate the lesser skilled individuals? Jane Smith "can’t" exactly purposely get worst on the sticks so to speak. But little timmy and John Smith could certainly get better on the sticks. What should the lesser skilled individuals say to Jane Smith?

                        How do we know that the game isn’t already perfectly tuned for simulation of the one-on-one experience? Is it because lesser skilled individuals doesn’t have the reflex and stick skills to recreate the experience on a difficulty level greater than what their reflex or understanding of the game mechanics allow? Is 2k’s so-called Brick Wall defense even a real thing or is it a term coined by lesser skilled 2k players? If 2k’s response is that they need to cater to the casual gamer, my response is I am the definition of a casual 2k gamer, I am terrible on the sticks, but 2k19 HOF default settings suits me fine.

                        Battletoads, Ghouls ‘n Ghosts are listed on most websites as some of the hardest games ever created. If developers had access to patch theses classics, both games would just be another game.

                              Played 11-min quarter, very low scoring game with me (Bucks) vs Pacers (AI) on HOF custom sliders (as per Rob recommendation).



                              I'm a Spurs fan. It all started with Kawhi, a 2-way solid player that I've been watching closely for past 3 years. The Spurs uses a lot of mixed actions and I've been searching high-low for the playbooks. A lot of their plays could be found in 2K17 playbook but unfortunately they are now taken out from 2K19. I'll post them in the playbook thread and hopefully dzar can re-instate them.

                              So u will expect a lot of these (changed in each time-out) in my footage :

                              SPURS THRU SERIES
                              SPURS ZIPPER SERIES
                              HAWKS
                              DOUBLE DRAG
                              SWING Freelance

                              Set plays are limited now (3pt plays were missing from the playbook). I have no issue with posting it in the simnation tube. For now, it on my own channel (u shouldnt see ads there Lol).
