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

I know its been said that these updates are for park and pro-am, but am I the only one whose noticed a total change in my efficiency offline?

I tried playing against several teams I've already played against in the past week, to very realistic shooting percentages, etc. But today I got blown out damn near every time. I couldn't get open and even the worst defensive teams like the Nuggets were shutting me down. I'm so confused about what changed in the past 24 hours, I'm using the same team, I'm running the same sets, the same series, and I'm getting totally different results. I'm getting walled up by Isaiah Thomas and Jamal Murray.

The Nuggets held me to 27% shooting and less than 20 3-point attempts! I was averaging 30+ attempts a game before today.

Something just feels very different...I'll try again tomorrow.

I'm on All-Star difficulty.

I cant find the option shot contest which was under controller settings and you could put it to manual or auto..they just took that option out ? Sometimes i dont want my defender to contest automatically so i used to set it to manual so i could position for a boxout ..confused here but havent seen any topic about it.

The option is gone and it should be off. My guy doesn’t contest unless I’m holding my analog up.

Oh......this was only for park/Pro-Am???

That’s why I noticed ZERO difference last night playing

Beluba catering to the casuals and cry babies already. 2 Hot Fixes in the span of 24 hours is pathetic IMO. I know the shot contest isn't the greatest this year but most complaints I see are from the 6'3 and under T-Rex arm community who are getting abused out there and are demanding change all of a sudden. You sacrificed defense for offense making your build that way. Live with it or make another build.

Same here. Fired up the game today to continue my Phoenix Suns season and for some reason I cannot buy a 3 pointer or a midrange shot to save my life. Jazz is holding me to 1/15 on threes right now… Seems like setting picks to shoot threes does not matter any more, everything is contested now.

I thought the tuning was pretty good yesterday . I could finish ( HOF relentless , posterizer gold ) and not as many contested shots were falling . Good players still got their points .

My pure shot creator teammate still got 20+ every game yesterday .

They said auto contest is off by default and they took out the option to turn it on or off.
The truth is, auto contest is not “off” by default, it was just moved to the right stick. So if you were used to playing right stick defense you will auto contest shots if someone shoots and you are using the right stick, even if they are 10 feet away from you and you are right stick defending your man.
It was a very stupid thing for them to do in my opinion and ruined the only thing that they had right with defense in 18.

Is your teammate actual good (moves the ball, attacks the paint, kicks out of double teams and only shoots wide open standing mid ranges) or did he run behind screens and shoot midrange fadeaways? (Which is statistically the worst shot in basketball, but the best shot in 2K)

I’m guessing the second if he put up 20 a game...

Yeah, definitely seemed to improve the experience to me at least. Unfortunately open shots are still wayyyyy too automatic though and it doesn't seem like 2K plans to address that for whatever reason.

Yeap, it's the most arcadish thing in every aspect fundamentally, you never know 100% if your shot is going in you would only sense it would and that's how it's in basketball,too.

As a shooter who gets hundreds of shots up every day, I disagree with the green release mechanic not being true to basketball. It’s very real. Shooter’s know where the ball is going upon release.

When you get that perfect release you know right away the ball is going in.

It’s the one true basketball feeling mechanic they have.

I played this morning on Superstar (WAS/CHA) and it was a really good game. Shot well, finished well...greened my finishes that made sense. Not sure if offline was actually effected at all or if I just played really well....but it felt great.

Bro idk where you get such a huge assumption from . But he’s actually right here on OS and is our go to scorer in Jordan rec . He makes his open shots but also uses the post game (shot creators have post badges ). He also uses stepbacks and ball fakes .

And yes occasionally I’ll set him off ball screens where he catches the ball ( which is a legit basketball play ) . He gets about 5 assists as the SG. I get about 16 Ppg.

Sorry not to dwell on anything but i repeat; beside i play/played for years, too.(That doesn't matter anyway.) You just get a feel it will be in just like you get that feel w/o looking at the meter in all of the previous 2ks that doesn't have meter; but here you know that it's 100% and it's in, it kills realism it kills the battle for a good rebounding position, it kills the transition game, it kills of all the unknown that real basketball has and creates so.

And It's not one true element because the game has too many TRUE basketball elements and the meter is not true to basketball.

I almost felt like I was finishing too well but I do have HOF relentless .

Then I matched up with AD and could barely score lol

This has been a serious game changer for me this year. I'd guess at least half my points as a Two-Way Shot Creator have come from posting up this year. It feels awesome being able to punish smaller sharpshooting guards (my guy is 6'7" so he usually has a height advantage at SG)
