Short Players.....

With the approach of 2k18 has any mention been made (or has the question even been raised) of plans to make short players more effective this year? Guys like Isaiah Thomas, Chris Paul, Kemba Walker, etc. are sometimes useless. I know their height puts them at a disadvantage in real life but in 2k it's overdone. Maybe it is just me but I have real trouble getting busy with guys below 6'3 or so.

Re: Short Players.....

Idk why people have so much trouble playing with isaiah thomas. He's the best PnR player I've ever played with. All you have to do is set a pick shoot when you're open and always user your center so that you get the rebound. If you drive you'll draw a million defenders because you're short, thus you can pass out or do a floater.

Edit: Also do rythm dribbles alot

I'd love to play you and see this first hand and see it how it works our for you. I've never had trouble playing against Thomas. Are you on Xbox one?

You shouldn't have to cheese the pick and roll to be effective with him because that's not the only thing he does in real life.

He gets to the rim on his own and has countless numbers of crafty moves to avoid getting blocked by defenders. None of these moves are reflected in 2k and you can't make a layup with him if you're in traffic

I never said cheese, I said he's the best PnR player I've used. That's not the only way I've used him. He's super underrated at slashing.

It's better to stop sprinting when you slash with him to get high arcing layups.
