Re: Need help with my 2K difficulty conundrum

In my experience, spamming PNR for any type of opening is the primary solution to deal with the physical defense and higher difficulty levels. I've come to the conclusion that it's better to work...

Re: NBA 2K24 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES X, PLAYSTATION 5)

After another break I have dived back in and played several games on HOF default and I've had fun. Sometimes the AI makes cheesy shots (like a heavily contested 3, even with a player like Siakam)...

Re: CPU’s knowledge on matching up…

I suspect it's likely about priorities. Putting resources into making defense smarter is not flashy and the bulk of people probably don't notice or care about it in general.

Re: Need help with my 2K difficulty conundrum

I feel the same as you in terms of how I like to play. I like a challenge, but I also like freedom of choice in playing how I want to play and not having to do certain things over and over just to...

Re: What is up with inside scoring?

I think it's mostly a result of online balancing spilling over to the offline side of the game. A lot of 2K users likely complained about interior scoring being too easy last year -- so the result is...

Re: Madden NFL 24 Impressions | PS5, XBOX Series X/S, PC

After diving into franchise mode, it'd be nice if the menus were snappier. Otherwise as someone who isn't big into football these days, the gameplay is solid enough.

Re: CPU’s knowledge on matching up…

2K defense is not dynamic enough, especially with match-ups. There are strict "put best defender on player x" logic but it's not fluid. In fact, some of the best defenders in the league don't always...

Re: Just want to give credit where it’s due

No need for anything but the drop step and dunk.

What is most bothersome about this is when there is a clear mediocre/weak shooter on the floor to help off of. If it's really all knockdown...

Re: NBA 2K24 - Second Official Rating Update - 11.30.2023

When there is a difference of opinion, it's definitely more useful to focus on specific ratings instead of OVR.

Re: NBA 2K24 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES X, PLAYSTATION 5)

It's to be expected, but the game plays so differently USER vs USER compared to USER vs AI. Even solid users are going to make regular mistakes in positioning and reads, so it results in a free flow...

Re: Just want to give credit where it’s due

I still think purely in terms of gameplay, the changes haven't been that significant. The randomness in the game will always make it difficult to truly judge whether there have been actual changes...

Re: Hardest players for you to guard?

Any knockdown movement shooter. I typically like to play off-ball and aggressively help off the weakest offensive player on the floor, so going against the guys that run around a lot are going to get...

Re: whats the deal with Layup animations that bein triggered to far away from the bas

I have seen plenty of these animations since day 1. There really isn't anything to fix because this doesn't happen every time and these type of push shots even from a few/several ft from the basket...

Re: User Off-Ball Defense is broken on 2K24?

Oh I just imagined this game with even more intense on-ball defense. That's a scary thought :duck:

Re: Has CPU's Double Team Logic been FIXED?

I believe this is about no doubling on bigs backing down guards. To be fair, the AI is aggressive to avoid switching -- so the frequency of this happening is not on the high side.

Re: What does difficulty do?

I recall there being complaints many years ago about "hidden" effects of difficulties. I think that what you see in the default sliders is pretty much all that the difficulty is changing. I still...

Re: What happened to this game? They ruined it

Re: NBA 2K24 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES X, PLAYSTATION 5)

Regarding green or nothing, it depends on the difficulty. Even on All-Star, if you're just shooting solid bars, you're probably not going to shoot well. A huge amount of my makes are always from...

Re: Perimeter Defense Seems Way Too Tight - Smothering

Playing default All-Star and I'm noticing that laying off turbo and just using basic movements can work well to create some open jumpers and also makes it feel like the defenders are less magnetic....
