Sigh....Blow-bys may be an issue. The nightmare scenario come to pass? I'm hopeful but we'll see.

Waaaaay overdue if true.

i dont think thats what was meant by the original tweet. I'm guessing that person was very impressed. 'Problem' being slang here

Also for what its worth... I'm really not a fan of that 2k20 news/leak twitter account. They just reword other people's tweets. And can really lose the tone of the Original post

I hope they are for 75 percent of the defensive players.

This only works if there's an equal emphasis on punishing ball-handlers for colliding with defenders and offensive fouls. 2K18 taught us this results in disaster unless its balanced.

It’s beautiful, but I’m scared that it’s another thing that could make defense underpowered and offense overpowered, like almost every defense in 2k. We won’t really know until we can play it ourselves, but it was no doubt beautiful, and needed for realism.
2k seems to always give offense all the advantages and leaves no counters for defense.
At least, it would seem that giving him room could negate or at least slow this down, unless blow bys take that away.

I hope they improved defensive footwork. We need more range of motion when in the defensive stance.

I am a defense first guy. But what I saw in the video looks pretty realistic to me. I saw Pat Beverly moving his feet, and I saw Lou Williams not as much. I also saw a great animation at 1:19 (on scoreboard). Wizards were on a break and the ballhandler cut in front of Zubac at half court, and it almost looked like a quasi-auto hold off defender from behind animation.

As long as defenders can maintain space, and contest then I am happy with the defense. I would love for the game to call charges, and for the ball to be live, but 2k seems to disagree.

I am excited by the fact that it looks like good perimeter defenders will be just as valuable as outside shooting. This in itself should make the offensive numbers more realistic. The fact that you may have to play Andre Roberson over a player like Kyle Korver in certain situations is what I hope 2k20 becomes. As opposed to playing a roster full of shooters, since every defender can guard.

I understand your worries, but I think this is the right direction to go in terms of realism. At the 1:17 (on scoreboard) mark of the video you can see Kawhi force a dribble pick up as opposed to a blow bye animation. So it isn't all bad.

You are 100 percent correct though. I do not want average ballhandlers like Tobias Harris to be able to run directly into Deandre Hunter and get a blow bye animation. That is a turnover all day.

The only way to get pull up jumpers, jab steps, and floaters to be realistically useful is if a good ballhandler can get by a poor or average flat footed or charging defender.

The blow by shouldn't be as much of a problem this year as it was in 18.

In 18 you had the blowby as well as the snatchback and the zig zag. You could cut off the blowby but the problem was that ball handlers could change directions at a ridiculously fast speed, so he could shimmy you off to one direction if you try to overplay. Then you had that snatchback garbage that would give people a stupid amount of space to get off a shot and guys were pretty much at the mercy the ball handler.

If the blowby is in without the zig zag and snatchback then it won't be an issue. I'm personally kind of looking forward to it, because online players spent the whole year playing off ball because the defenders in 19 were just too damn good.

I hope they are for 75 percent of the defensive players. Give up space or get blown bye. In that short wizards video, I loved all the interaction animations. If you make contact with a ballhandler you should get blown bye, unless it is a person who can not handle the ball. imo. The days of bump and run defense may finally be over.

This. Just my opinion, but from what I saw in that vid, blowby's look much more organic and nothing like 2k18's was. Just looks like you have to be in good defensive position this time to stop guys and with explosive players, you have to actually play them smart and give a little space or push them into help D. I know you can't really judge from a short video though, so...

The game is looking legit. It seems like 2K has finally figured out speed, acceleration. Da Czar has been dropping some gameplay hints in Twitter

"You will really need to pay attention to matchups. You can’t constantly pressure the ball as a poor defender vs a guard with quick first step. You will need to give a cushion in mismathes and decide what you are ok giving up. Better defenders can apply more pressure."

Exactly the kind of thing I was thinking.

I forgot to ask but rewatching the gameplay vid does it look like the court is a bit bigger to you guys? Maybe it's the quality of the vid.

I'm not sure who got shafted more on the Spurs between Poeltl (77) or White (78). Both are plus defenders that need to become more assertive and consistent on offense. That still doesn't mean Jakob should be the worst starting center (tied w/ Alex Len & Cody Zeller, SMDH) and White rated equal to unproven talent like R.J. Barrett.

Jakob main issue is that the Spurs will likely play small (w/ Carroll & Gay at PF) most nights limiting his minutes to Aldridge's back up.

White will either be the 6th man (his optimal role, IMO) or start next to DeJounte. Either way, he'll see plenty of court time and will (likely once again) play above his crappy (out - of - the - box) ratings.

Re: 9 minutes of NBA 2K20 leaked gameplay

lots of people saying their waiting for the demo, heck im waiting till 2 or 3 weeks after release seeing how 2k's changed their last few games right after release, footage before release is never the final game, demo is never the final game, heck, the game 3 months after release is never the final game

Exactly.

When a certain segment of the community starts their demands then patches start rolling out like clockwork. The game never plays the same out the box. Which is why I don't put much stock in pre-launch stuff, let alone a few months from now.

I got this feeling too, but like you said wasn't sure if it was due to the video quality but either the court is bigger or the players are smaller because the court spacing looked great even with all the crazy passing and turboing.

O<G is this game floaty the footplanting is like ice skates

Immediately see it

Just let it marinate for a second that Kyle Kuzma is an 84 and Derrick White is a 78.......

I cant.
