We should also be able to create an open shot off the dribble easily in this matchup scenario if we don’t always want to get to the rim.

1 in the same to me. If you have the 18 blow bye that will require a defender to give up space which should open up the pullup gm.

I think the game could benefit from a deceleration rating/badge/mechanic to help the pull up game and make shifty players even more shiftier.

Basketball is such a stop and go sport and the best players are those who can control their bodies with stopping on a dime.

It makes sense to me to having this represented. I think representing how well someone can slow down is something that is missing in creating sim gameplay in basketball and football gaming

WE NEED VISUALS! Believe when I see it smh. The game is a month away from release & they refuse to show what consumers should expect is unbelievable. 2k gotta tighten up.

Re: NBA 2K20 Gameplay Blog - Motion Engine Upgrade, Handles, Read & React Defense, Of

what is my biggest take away is the foot planting and the first step and acceleration speeds variations....

this will really accentuate the 1 on 1 justling of offense vs defense on every possession....if it works well and is balance I can really see how important it's finally going to be to respect the first step of quick explosive players by sagging or playing up on slower players

let the cat and mouse begins!!!!

I'm all [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] that they made steal attempts virtually IDIOT PROOF with a visual indicator. If guys are spamming when the line is broken we sure as helllllll better see lunging misses and FOULS.

Since the broken line is an indicator of being more vulnerable to steals the game probably won't punish players for spamming during that time even if they don't get the steal. It should punish very heavily though if players spam when the line is solid.

I'm a little confused on the CPU real shooting % part because I play with it on so will I be at an advantage because I use it now? Or when it is on then both user and cpu shoot with real %, and when it is off both shoot with release timing.

I would also like to know if it's something we can turn on or off, i hope there will be because not everyone plays the same way and im sure some would like to have it based on RealPlayer%

Right, Right....thats what I meant. I had it backwards. My point is you're already hand-holding casuals by giving them a visual "hey dummy, dont steal now" indicator. Now it has to be followed up with consequences.

I agree. Deceleration would be a great badge to add. Meaning it allows certain players to stop on a dime. I have no idea how they could make it a rating unless it was a Great, good, average, bad type of rating.

I agree with there needing to be some consequences for steals.

If someone whiffs on a steal he needs to be thrown completely out of position. Right now the worst thing that can happen is they get called for a foul which doesn't really mean much in the context of a 5 minute quarter game when the foul limit is 6.

Meanwhile as the ballhandler some guy can be jerking his right stick all game and I get forced into these long drawn out pick up ball animations where I lose complete control of my player.

Same thing goes for defenders closing out on shooters. This "let me run full speed at your shooters to contest shots" defense needs to be completely punishable. Some guy runs at me full speed and falls for my pump fake he needs to either be face first in the crowd and I get a wide open shot or lane to the basket or I should be able to jump into him and draw a foul.

These 3 are absolutely essential for H2H play:

1. 5 min quarters are a scaled down version of an NBA game--fouls should be scaled as well. The penalty should occur on the 3rd foul. Disqualification on the 5th.

2. Missed steals have you lunge out of position or get whistled. CHOOSE. 2K16 did a much better job:

Lets not forget how missed steals look in reality, you dont warp to the ball-handler, momentum takes you out of the play:

I've seen this Draw Foul animation less than 5 times since 2K16. Guys can contest with the right stick now--if they choose to block jump shots/have bad timing or the wrong personnel on dunks & layups there have to be consequences:

I agree with this only in theory.

I wouldn't want it to be actually implemented because i know it would break the game.

I'm intrested in seeing if the new dribbling style mean Magic Johnson
would have his signature slightly hunched over way of dribbling on the break
and if Jerry West has that old school way of dribbling with little to no crossovers and fancy modern day moves
plus where's the love for jordan and Gary Payton?
