You can pretty much do this in all sports games though. In Madden, it's about stealthily manipulating the AI. In MLB people take advantage of awfully slow animations. I don't need to explain 2k, everybody here knows. I feel like the way 2k works is that it's always kind of been RNG vs. RNG, except that offensive RNG is so overpowering.

The offensive RNG has multipliers...

When your player has 99 3pts, 99 mid and most of his HoF badges, you don't need to be that good to score against another pure sharp and the guy you're facing doesn't need to be that good to score on you, you both CRAP on D. To play a sharp, a stretch or a playmaker/sharp should be a very extreme and risquy bet since you know you can only do one thing and if you face a better defensive archetypes you screwed, but since the vast majority of us are also playing shooting archetypes...you're more than fine. Sure you will struggle against pure lockdown or prime or secondary lockdown ( even physical builds such as slashers) but they are so rare that it's a risk you can gladly take. We are elite 4-5, obviously we don't play 5-out, here's our lineup PG : Creator / playmaker (or pLay / lock) SG : Lockdown / Slasher SF : Creator / Sharp (or sharp / creator) PF : Sharp / Lockdown (or lock / slasher) P : Lockdown / Sharp (or pure post) We are the kind of team 5-out teams hate to play against, but we're the kind of lineup they face once every 10 ou 15 games, not enough to make them re-think the viability of their 5-out. My point is that WE created this 5-out trend by turning a basket ball game into a 3 points contest. 2K doesn't need to do anything to fix that, WE do. 2K19 is coming soon, think about it before you create your player. Keep in mind that the more 3 points build we make, the more 5-out we will face. So ask yourself what is the most annoying, not be able to shoot 3's from miles away yourself or facing 5-out 90% of the time.

awesome post.
