NBA 2K taking out 5 Out set was a SOFT MOVE

[killakrok]

Thank you Czar for taking the time out to fix and address the issue. I was going to ask what happens now that the 5-out was removed from the freelance menu but people can still do it.

Thank you both for the effort to address it, taking the time out to communicate with the community, and for addressing the underlying issues in the game that make this a problem and how difficult it is to fix, as well as addressing the individuals that would go out of their way to play this way, and the community that embraces it.

I hope next year we see the 5 out back in the game, not so that it can be used again, but because it would mean that the underlying defense has been improved in order to deal with it, which is a plus for everyone.

All 5 out ever did was cater to the lowest common denominator of the community. The guys who were too brain-dead to play real ball and instead chose to rely on the broken AI help D that has been perpetually present for years now. It didn't matter how great you were on the sticks, unless you set your D to no help (again, unrealistic because no NBA defense just plays straight 1 on 1 with no help) a defender would run in, your other three defenders wouldn't rotate and you'd give up the easy three. It was entirely unavoidable. I'm glad they took this out and I can't tell you how glad I am that guys like you are denied the opportunity to waste my time on this game by playing a style of basketball that doesn't exist at any level of the game Sent from my SM-G930V using Operation Sports mobile app

I couldn't have said it any better.

5 out isn't even that great of a set. There's nary any strategy involved in 2K18's version. It's drive-and-kick hogwash that exploits the AI rather than the user.

It expliots user this year as well because of the way user defense is this year. I guess it's input lag
