NBA 2K19 Early Gameplay Impressions

How was the transition defense Joel? Did the a.i. do a better job of matching up quicker?

I swear I felt that freedom in the open floor the first month I owned 2K18. I'm pretty sure I even came on here and raved about how real it felt to orchestrate a break with Jason Kidd.

As the months passed, a lot of that feeling went away. Now I mostly feel how you do. The defense seems to get back too easily, lanes clog, and passes are often too clunky, slow, and imprecise.

I'd actually love if bounce passes could have some zip on them from time to time. As it stands, they mostly feel appropriate for post entry passing and little else.

I like this sound of this takeover feature. 2K has never been able to replicate the way players get hot and go cold. I wanna see dudes get so cold they could shoot 3-16 then turn around and burn the house down a few games later (Klay Thompson or Curry).

Let's just pray they don't over do it...

From what I saw on transition D there were times where my team matched up properly, and there were other times where I felt my transition D was really slow and my guys weren't getting back. That being said, it was more good than bad for this

They should add a get back tendency for future 2k's or if at all possible take it a step further add a complain to refs vs get back tendency for offline players only

Welp, sounds promising as it always does in prerelease. Ill wait and see...


And for the "Less cheese": Just because you fixed last years cheese moves doesnt mean cheesing has been erased from the game. Players will find new ways to cheese...

respect to Mike Wang for addressing and admitting any game issues..I wish this year that Art Department do the same thing coz they are always MIA when the game releases and you have this thousand of pages for request and maybe 3 of them where answered.

Good article, but does the video have to be called "Ghetto Gameplay ..."? We need to stop using this term to describe things that are lacking or less-than ideal.*
