I only play the NBA portion of the game. I have no idea about archetypes.

There is nothing more satisfying in 2K than watching low iq players who benefited from exploits, unrealistic play, or an OP build, get destroyed. lol. And nothing more aggravating in 2K when (pretty much September til now) the opposite is true.

Although we go back and forth on different opinions, I 100% agree with you. I didn't think it was going to be that big of deal, because I thought people could still abuse the PnR. However, it's really a night and day difference. If I'm in your jersey, people are missing shots on the perimeter. People can still hit shots on me in "hands down, man down" situations, but it's definitely not a good idea to pull up like you have ZERO respect for the presence of my defenders.

On the other hand, I'm rolling over people offensively, so I mostly shoot open shots. It's kinda sad to realize how many people really had braindead basketball IQ.

The game should've been about high quality shots and not BS ratings. Stretch Bigs were chucking a lot of bad shots and getting rewarded for it. Just play smarter.

All they did was nerf guards and make stretches even more viable..they’re better defenders.

If you’re a guard almost everything is lightly contested as defenders just have to be in your vicinity even behind your back or to the sides.

This ain’t it and these kids will find a new exploit.

I see kawhi shoot over defenders every game..in 2k they took away that ability as well as hands down man down.

Shot contests weren't the problem. Shooting percentages were.

Elite players dont need a 6ft perimeter to be considered open, nor do they shoot 70% on open shots.
