Re: Mike Wang tweets about 2K20

Liking a lot of what I'm reading, but I'm kinda worried that blow-bys will be heavily reduced down the line due to complaints.

I think in the future it would be cool if there was a slider that directly controlled the blow-by frequency for offline players. I know there is the body-up slider, but it's not really the same thing IMO.

Re: Mike Wang tweets about 2K20

"Blow by frequency is much different in the final game than it was at Community Day, and even the demo. I'm happy with where it is right now, but it's easy to tweak if the community feels like there are too many or too few once you all get in the lab."

"Pogo stick will help you get back up to challenge another shot quicker when you bite early, but it won't change the fact that your impact will drop if you're on the way down. Good block timing is still important whether you have this badge or not."

" Tried to make them more skill-based this year. Bump steals definitely nerfed."

looks like Mike has been reading my comments in this thread lol

Please show me in the game that all my fears are ungrounded Mike!!

Whew. Good to hear...this was easily my biggest fear.

Re: Mike Wang tweets about 2K20

You're literally arguing that greens should exist in 2K because they exist in real life while admitting that the best shooter of all-time is basically not capable of greening a shot in real life. Yes, there is such a thing as a perfect shot, but if even the best shooter of all-time is not capable of knowing if it's a perfect shot, then greening a shot effectively does not exist in real life and it shouldn't exist in the video game either. And on top of that, starting with 2K20, every other player on the court will somehow have the capability of knowing the shot is 100% going in the second it's released too.

Just makes me smh every time I think about everyone being able to see your meter. Will never understand what Mike is thinking with that one.

"heavily nerfing the impact of a defender when he/she is a height mismatch at the rim"



if i have understood this correctly, Mike is saying that small people won't impact my finish if i'm 6'10 and they are 6'2...

and if this is the case.. i'm super excited for this game

Thanks Mike!

I need more blow byes. Even more then the Wizards vs. Clippers video. ha. Stop running into the offensive player and move them feet. Ha. Half jokin. Half serious.

Also, Height shouldn't matter at the rim as much as wingspan right? Aren't the arms and not the head what affects a shot at the rim?

Yeah I like this too....but errrr....ummm....am I the only one who thought this was already in the game? [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]



These are good too:



1. "A defender's impact severely drops as they're coming down from a block attempt and for a moment after landing. Don't spam block this year."



2. "On the flipside to my previous tweet, shot ratings will take a slight hit for a short window of time after a pump fake. Don't spam pump fakes either."



Music to my ears...now i'd have preferred they just blow a whistle when guys come down on you (fingers crossed) and a world where pump fake spammers get stripped, but it sounds like its a more complex fix than we think.

hahaha i thought so, until i played it and realised that sometimes, Quinn Cook can make Lebron miss a layup one on one (normally layups you think will be posterising dunks so you don't do an evasive finish lol)

ya i hope they call more real fouls and reckless closeouts can cause them too.

the amount of times i've pressed block and the ball has gone through my players' hands and I've clattered the player and its gone in and been a no-call is astonishing lol.

i think its really important for Mike to create an actual document that fully details the impacts of each badge.

i remember how badges have always been such a source of mystery - i want percentages, rates, everything.

let me know how many more times i can pump fake with that badge than without before the negative impact - this is not only helpful in deciding which ones i want, but how to adjust defense if i'm getting owned by someone using a badge.

Hmmmm....blow-bys on mismatches? SURE. Bad closeouts? Yup...Defenders caught reaching or guessing the wrong way? ALWAYS. But just because? NAH. No Sir. 🤨

Re: Mike Wang tweets about 2K20

I like the pump fakes/shot contest concepts...should add some accountability on both sides of the ball. One of my favorite things about 2k18 was getting a guy in the air and finishing around them...and the movement system should allow us to be even more creative. I'm personally not a big fan of all jumps being automatic fouls..

They added some contextual finishes in the post when someone was considerably smaller than you in '19...but not regular finishes near the rim....

Bingo. Defenders taking themselves out of the play has the same value IMO. Single Outcomes like automatic fouls are bad for gameplay. I'm all for efforts to eliminate spam but at some point they have to deal with defenders coming down on offensive players.

Re: Mike Wang tweets about 2K20

I like that. If I have a 4+ inch advantage, the shorter defender should not be able to affect my shot like that. Vice versa if I have my defense SG build, my impact on contested shots against elitle PFs/Cs shouldn't be as strong

I'm actually a hair concerned at this one given the prevalence of max height centers out there on the MyPlayer end and the prevalence of the Yao/Manute/Muresan cheese in MyTeam and even PNO to an extent. Hopefully this doesn't serve to make these players overpowered against regular-sized centers and only allows bigs to take advantage of actual smalls.

I have to admit, I am a bit concerned about this as well.I'd be happy if they just capped max height for MyPlayer Centers at 7' or maybe 7'1".

I was thinking this the whole time but didn’t want to rain on anybody’s parade . It’s pretty much a bailout already to be 7’3 as opposed to 7’

Re: Mike Wang tweets about 2K20

I mean this in the most respectful way possible but that second idea is just dumb. Especially considering they have a setting where the plays not drawn on the floor. But if they remove the plays drawn on the floor, how will people know where to go for the plays and who to pass it to?

learn it in scrimmage for example...or you have another opetion for just learning your plays...
