I am not sure but it’s one of the main reasons I’ve stopped playing Pro-Am. It’s just too boring. I am hoping that with the improved defense, it’ll be a lot easier to play 1 on 1 defense without being blew by and also having to worry about the snatch back.
As long as it’s not as efficient, I think a lot more teams will run a regular offense. I know if players were doing this in 2K16, a lot of players would’ve been getting locked up.
Better defense and lower made contested shots will make team rethink running 5-out. When you have a PG dribbling until he gets a ankle breaker while everyone else watches is so painful to play. Death to 99 contested 3 and even 99 open 3. I have no clue what the devs were thinking when they decided on attributes.
- Get rid of godlike shooters who can stretch the court way to far. The insane spacing these zero skill "cones" I mean sharps, allows 5. Scrap deadeye badges (why would a game REWARD contested shots) and scrap limitless badge (Curry is once a generation shooter and even he doesn't make every super long range shot).
- Get rid of snatchback + nerf blowbys (2k19 did this already I think)
- Beat it more often. Means having a team of good defenders
I think its just the way the games engine is now, the most efficient and effective way to succeed on this new motion engine they introduced in 2k18 is the 5 out.
Honestly, I don't think 2k can be fixed. It plays well in instances. I feel like a league with some rules and moderation would be fun, but that'd be way too much work.
