NBA 2K9: A Cheeser's worst nightmare - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Re: NBA 2K9: A Cheeser's worst nightmare

The online rank level is on All-Star and that's why everyone keeps making a high percentage of their shots! It is what it is people. Until they change it, we gotta play on freaking All-Star, which is BS to me or play unrank player matches. I really don't care about rank, so whenever I can't get a HOF game, I play rank games on All-Star.

Cheesers are loving this level and it's take patience and court awareness to stop a good cheeser. I play a combination of Off/On ball defense. The best defensive teams are great b/c they play good help defense. Kobe was shutdown by the Celtics b/c they played great team defense. The AI doesn't always do what you want, so you have to do it for yourself. You got extremely high FG% for all players in the game, but it's the same for both players, so you can take advantage too. I attempt to play on the ball at first and I check to see what scoring strategy the guy is trying to use. If it's the lakers and the player is a Kobe cheeser, then you are in for a full game of Kobe abusing. Kobe is almost impossible to stop with a regular team IMO. I only use the Celtics, Rockets or Spurs against Kobe. Ron, Shane, and Bowen do great jobs against him 1 on 1. KG is great at protecting the paint. I play on-ball D until I get beat. Once I get beat then I immediately switch to a big to provide extra help. I have found shading to be very helpful in stopping Kobe. I also switch to a 2-3 zone to crowd the paint if the guy likes to drive to the hoop all the time. You have to be quick when the defense breaks down. The thing that makes me the most upset is when you have a guy surrounded and he still makes the BS hook shot. I'm normally down a few points at halftime, but by the 4th qtr I'm up.

Don't be ashamed to cheese them right back. I leak on players who attempt excessive 3ptrs. I get the board and I got an easy bucket. Be ready to hit the open man! The offensive AI is so smart, so you have to be able to hit the open guy when he's open. You will see the player move to the open area and you have to hit him immediately.
Use the feature to pass out of shot attempts. Draw the defender and hit the open guy. If you know ur team well, you should always hit the open shot b/c it's on All-Star.

It's not fun using strategy, knowing your team, tendencies and plays, as well as putting together a winning gameplan in your head to acheive a goal?

Your missing the point....So nevermind.....My point is there isn't a strategy or gameplan to use against a cheeser, the only way to beat a cheeser is to cheese him/her back..and i don't have that in me...

I agree. I believe many others who constantly say they are "sim" feel the same way.

It's not about winning at all costs but the experience throughout.

I agree to an extent. However, if you guys want to stop the LeBron/Kobe cheesers all you need to do is call 2-3 zone and double team whoever has the ball ...just keep an eye on the perimeter. By calling the 2-3 zone you clog up the lane so much they just turn the ball over or get blocked most of the time.

As for the Steve Nash 3pt assault cheesers... I have no idea...

Kobe is the ultimate cheese all else is just soft defence I had a guy quit wit .2 seconds left in the forth down 1 because kobe fouled out its pathetic 2k9 baseline drive is 2 easy nash 3pt assault is easy to stop assign a taller defender on him

Every rebound belongs to me no matter what

This game plays like a mixture of 2k7 and 2k8.

It's cool if you play sim with another sim player. But now that the layups and shots in traffic are much more successful then they were in 2k8 people will just go to the hole blindly with Kobe/Bron/Melo etc and just shoot knowing they'll either get fouled or hit a high percentage of their shots. In 2k8 they didn't call fouls, but you couldn't just go to the hole and score as easy as 2k9.

Pretty much.

In 2k9 you must, you must play of ball D, especially on the post players to attempt to push them out of the paint. If the person passes to an post player with deep enough position its a gauaranteed 2 points in 2k9 and you know im right.... Even Tyson Chandler has a post game that looks like Kareem's the way he sinks those hook shots.

Yes sir.
Not only that lag gives an advantage to the offensive player. Offline I might talk trash to someone who is afraid to play my best 'one on one' player, 'one on one'. Online I don't expect it. Even a little lag is like guarding a wide receiver in the rain. Every move they make leaves you in danger of sliping out of control. This is why I only play on the ball when its to my benifit. That is wisdom.
