You cant beat yourself up when its on pro OP. Too much bs is allowed on any level aside from HOF.

H2H HOF MLO with 30 competitive sim heads. 29 game seasons, offseasons with rookie draft classes, free agency with house rules, professions, regressions. Matching wits on the sticks and in the front office. Until you have experienced this, you have not experienced 2k at its most sublime. Only draw back if there even is one is there is a massive time commitment and level of dedication needed to keep leagues going without incurring massive turnover in owners because inevitably life gets in the way and things happen. Online gaming, it comes with the territory. But if an MLO has dedicated admins who keep the ship steady, there's no mode that rivals it on 2k.

If peeps don't have the time necessary to join leagues, 2k should definately bring back hof lobbies. For the life of me, I cannot rationalize why they won't bring back lobbies. It's a win win for everyone.

If we had HOF lobbies I'd probably do one GOAT run in PNO and retire it...

This game should be played on HOF in head to head situations. Eliminates a lot of the complaints out there.

Yep, lost count of the times I've been beaten in the park by useless idiots that chucked up garbage all game and hit everything, or if you block them they get it back etc...

The one thing that completely ruins this game is that good defense is rarely rewarded, while bad offense is. Which means there is not a proper skill gap.

Anyone can beat anyone on this game. Sadly, the dumber you play the better chance you have sometimes.

I totally agree with you on that. This year playing reckless and selfish basketball on offense is very rewarding regardless of how you're playing defense.

I think a lot of it comes down to their focus on VC sales. They have in essence dumb down the human to human gameplay so much to try and attract more casual gamers that the integrity and balance of the gameplay is just no longer there anymore.

I've never heard so many people on both live streams, parties, and in game chat mention the word "trash" as much as this year while they were playing 2k18. IMO it would be wise for 2k to get back to their roots of simulation basketball before its too late and they start loosing a large part of their fan base. Of course if they continue increasing VC sales as they have been maybe they don't care.

I think you are good. If you want to tell your 2K skills versus anyone else, there free 2K Tournament (X1 & PS4) being hosted by Player's tomorrow at 2 PM. Winners gets $100. Nothing to lose. DM me or leave a comment if interested

I've been playing 2K since the original Dreamcast and I know all the controls, crossovers, ally oops, I call plays and use point of emphasis and so on. They usually beat me. I'd say 75% of the time. It's just a strange thing. Either they really are smart guys who know basketball or I"m just really really bad.
