    Re: NBA 2K19 Gameplay Tuning Update Arrives Tomorrow, Details Here

    Layups are pretty consistent to me right now.

    I've found that openness takes precedent over the meter in some situations and trying to perfect the meter is what ends up making you miss. If no one is around you, quickly tapping the stick and getting a Very Early will fall at a much higher clip than a Late.

    I save the timing for up and unders, cradles and contact layups....been working out pretty well for me.

      But what gets me is going online anyway knowing those people are out there but playing then anyway


      Then shaking your first at 2K like it's their fault slushuranklez doesn't care about Sim basketball or anything else.

      I expect cheaters on COD and any other big game out there.

      Sounds like we are on the same page. I don’t want the game to be easier, I would love if it was 10X harder to truly create a skill gap.

      I know people will always find an exploit, but exploits are typically due to an unintentional coding error that can’t be or is extremely difficult to fix. It’s not hard at all to get rid of or tone down fadeaway cheese.

      Not one have I complained about the inbound glitch, moving screens, players double tapping B or Circle to push you out of the way, players getting stuck on their teammates when a screen is set, etc. All of these things are exploitable, but as you said, it’s online play and expected.

      However, I can’t stomach those issues, play great defense for 23 seconds and then the other team gets bailed out by greening a lightly contested fadeaway with a gold difficult shot badge. That’s infuriating and easy to take out of the game, but 2K won’t do it because 3pt and midrange attributes are where they make the most revenue from VC.

        One of the worst things I've seen with the 'open layup' issue is that it means in game modes like rec, you miss an open layup as a big because an opposing center is on your back or within 8 feet, and there's a good chance that's the last time you ever get the ball on offense because it makes you look incompetent. Worse are the miss layup and fall down animations on barely contested shots (not only did you miss, you look like an idiot, and you are out of the play for like 10 seconds). If a sharp misses one iffy 3 they will keep getting the ball because, hey, sometimes 3s don't go in. But open layups are supposed to be gimmies, so you must be trash...

          IMO. Layups are to easy. Standing layups from bigs are to easy, and driving layups are to easy. I play on HOF and I do not have a problem with missing layups I should make. Heavy contest standing layups I can make. I even green standing layups in traffic. Driving layups just the same. Additionally, if a person is behind or beside you it won't even register as a contest. People really hate defense.

          I think people are playing a totally different game then I am.

              I believe everyone’s complaint is with park and pro am standing/driving layups.

              A 60 overall pure defender can shoot 80% under the basket against the cpu.

                The ability to make layups and finish around the basket is nothing compared to a sharps or shot creator’s ability to make shots (open or contested ).

                It seems like nobody around here has a problem with that .

                Shooting is too easy online. Way too easy .but god forbid their average drops to around 50% instead if 70% .

                  I have a problem with it, good basketball isnt being rewarded enough. That's where the frustration lies for me.

                    Only 5 v 5 nba teams. Play now online and Myleague Online. So I dont want layups to become easier online or off for the people who play with the real teams. Whatever is going on with the My career guys I cant speak on that. I would hope that Dwayne Dedmon does not turn into Moses Malone around the rim bc of the My Career guys.

                    Its an nba game first. Imo

                      2k can tune the nba and mycareer portion of the game differently. They have different slider sets .

                        I believe this has been answered but for clarification... these back and forth tuning updates DO NOT effect OFFLINE play, correct?

                          A 6’5 sharp can stand around your back and a standing layup is no longer considered open so you have to perfect the timing anyway .

                          But it’s ok because if you run into the back of a shooter it’s considered open for a hot green light special on a 70% clip. That’s all that matters .

                            Having a meter for layups is not ok

                            Making the game sterile wouldn't be ok

                            Its sad how the shooting thing has gone down this rabbit hole once the shot tuning was introduced

I would put my stick skills up against anyone’s (I averaged 70 on HOF with 5 min quarters when I was grinding) but it’s extremely frustrating when a 6’3 minimum weight pure sharp/shot creator or combination of the two just zig zag behind screens then shoot a runaway fadeaway at an 80+% clip.

                              That’s not basketball, that’s poor coding and poor game mechanics. As mentioned earlier, it’s much harder to remove the zig zag as it would mess up other concepts of player movement and dribbling, but it’s very easy to increase shot contest sensitivity or decrease fadeaway shot success.

                              There’s no skill in doing this and it makes 2 on 2 pointless. And for the bigs that play with these guys, what enjoyment do you get in holding “B” or “Circle” while your guard takes 15 bad shots that 2K thinks is good. I’m as competitive as they come and I love to win, but a very derogatory word is the only legitimate way to describe these type of people and reverting the tuning rewards their lack of skill.
