Re: 1.12 October 30th Update

Superstar cpu is back to being ridiculously op at paint d. I haven't played fives yet cuz I guess most kiddies getting ready to trick or treat but 3s last night n some today seems really good. Even used my big. I don't feel like bigs are *** in 3s anymore esp my small one. I missed a couple bunnies, but overall felt good.


I'm still struggling to understand the you can't spin issue v cpu defenders too. That is what makes it hard. V a user you can get a deep catch for a baby hook but v cpu they are all ready to steal it. I never was amazing at scoring v cpu but I have tenacity. I was like 10-28 or something and lost by 30. I was v Tyler zeller and a generated rook. A bit salty but I'll adjust. I prol should give up offline since I got icon anyway.



I hit a middie w 1 on the shot clock in 3s. Super contested. At the top tho luckily and it dropped. I got a shot tip blocked v cpu around the rim where it gave me like the tiniest bar I've ever seen, by some stroke of luck I got it at the top (even tho it was one of those quick fades so it shot up super fast) so they gave me the late whistle. I was like haha. I deserve that for shooting such a perfect garbage shot



Overall imo it's getting better (online.) Not seeing hardly any garbage. Still I force bad shots sometimes. But when I play under control I do well. I have this compulsion to press stick forward plus turbo when I'm inside and that seems to be a miss a lot. Best to let go of turbo and maybe shoot neutral or diagonal.



They Def need to fix the post back down "glitch" if that's what it is. Not sure if ive had it happen online but it Def happens too much v cpu.

Re: 1.12 October 30th Update

As Feros Ferio 7 posted ,the shot clock glitch happened to me at 1 game that i played.Overall gameplay felt better i believe at 5 vs 5 but i really got “tired” with all gameplay changes since the beginning because I use sliders & when I believe I have found the balance for my gameplay then I always have to completely readjust the sliders after each patch.it happens very often its frastrating.There going to be complaints always from so many people every time.WTF?
Devs try to adjust the gameplay by altering “default” sliders & every time somebody complains because the game seems “so hard now” or cant do this or the other! Its redicioulous…We don’t have to complaint so much guys, just play the game.The game played ok since the beginning & they do some fixes during the year (like they do).We don’t have to growl all the time! Its only just a game after all.Just play it & adapt.Otherwise they have to make a separate gameplay for everybody.Its crazy…

Hi Ferio, I saw "Shot clock just messed up on me." I haven't been seeing this and it doesn't happen every time. Was it perhaps after a reach in foul that knocked the ball loose?

I can't recall the foul now that caused it to happen. But I could test it tomorrow.

Calvenn tell your boys at ea that they keep messing up the game. Haha. I'm not raging promise. It's just true and inexplicable.



If I'm playing 3s and I am on my wing shooter (who is, in his defense jacked w 84 str) and I'm matched up against a rim protector at c, my first thought should not be I'm gonna cook this guy and there's no way he can make a shot that's not a dunk on me.



Same w stretches, even Kat stretches. Put it back like it was where people had body thru lay ups, relate that to strength then add contest power for help defender. In theory having any body in the right spot on d is gonna affect you, but the archetypes that are inside scorers get affected too much by that because they are nearly always going against contact inside. At least slashers and wing scorers can get a good head of steam.



I think slashers should be able to side step people well, wing scorers should be moderately good at going thru people as well as stepping around and post anchor should be monsters at going thru people. Rim protector should too maybe a bit more likely to blow a bunny. Keep the game like it is and add that. It's no fun to only cut and dunk. Bring the sense of power back. It was there in 1.11 why did they take it away again. No stretch is hard contesting my shot w their body, that's what you lose by picking stretch. You gotta block me out of the air or meet me far enough away that I can't make a close move.



Gameplay is nice except for that. As a primary big it's imbalanced. I've got three guys I've run w,, my wing d, my post anchor, and my wing shooter. I should not be able to lock down the inside w a wing shooter but I can, decently. As long as people don't dunk.

Re: 1.12 October 30th Update

i As much as I want to keep playing this game and enjoy it because the animations are so nice and game feels smooth, honestly I'm not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the demo. I barely played the game for the past 2 weeks, just 1 game. I wanna play the game enjoy shooting, all I do is just keep driving or posting up.

It's ridiculous how I can guard down the CPU and they hit their shots still, meanwhile I can't hit **** guarded even if I have the shot meter fill'd. I go back and play 2k18 but in the back of my mind I really wanna play Live 19.

I've been struggling to control the off ball player too it rarely connects for me

I’ve only played a couple of games, but so far, the 5 on 5 vs. the CPU experience has been horrendous. It almost seems like this area of the game went nearly untouched. Shots in the post are either blocked or a make, rarely is there ever a miss. The AI leaves players wide open in transition. The off-ball movement is still ridiculously stagnant and unproductive. Even with the “motion offense” there is very little screening or cutting to the basket. It’s more of just moving around. Even the set plays are very basic with only one or two actions happening. It’s just ridiculously bland and YEARS behind 2K. I get the idea of wanting it to be more simple, but this is basketball. There has to be more to the game than just dribbling down and shooting/driving.

Luckily I found this game for super cheap. I’ll be playing it for the One while I stick to 2K for Franchise purposes. It’s frustrating because it does feel like the potential for Live is there, but it suffers the same fate as Madden where EA puts focus into a single mode rather than improving gameplay.

Yup. Whenever you have a reach in foul in the penalty after the free throw taking it out of bounds the shot clock jumps from 24 to 13.

The CPU is absurdly good at contesting shots. They contest ****ing everything - no shot is beyond their reach. I've been trying out different perimeter shooting builds, and it seems the only way to get threes are by pumping points into the contested shot skill.

I'm still enjoying playing defense, grabbing rebounds, and working dribble moves to drive to the hoop, so I'm sticking with that for now. Trying to get open perimeter shots in the game's current state is bad for my blood pressure.

I’ve been getting about 3-4 short shot clock issues a game right now. Not sure what’s causing it exactly.

It is happening to me at least once per game

Re: 1.12 October 30th Update

1.11 felt pretty good, 1.12 drops and I can't hit layups over small guards any more with my 99 post anchor, gold catch and finish trait. Just doesnt make any sense.

Shooters getting their Curry on are unaffected of course.

I wish I could get my Curry on. Can't even get my Nowitzki on, because there's never an open shot.

Is this in 5v5?

BTW I've had a couple instances where new possessions were only :14 seconds instead of :24....anyone else see this?
