My Invented Game Mode: Bronze Team vs. Gold Team

[imfromhoiland]

Hey guys.

I, like most of you, have gotten sick of Road To The Playoffs. I stopped playing it a while back. The fact that people try to do really cheesy things, like take charges after rebounds, drive with Jordan every play, glitch to get multiple Jordans, etc. really ruined the game mode for me.

Recently what I decided to do to combat this was to "create my own game mode". This is putting up my All-Bronze Team vs. any team that I face. 99% of the time, it would obviously be against an all gold team. I was expecting to get really pissy and hate it, but it's actually the most fun I've had with the game in a while.

Why would it be fun to play an all bronze team versus an all gold team? Simply, you aren't expected to win. You don't expect yourself to win. It's like playing a game that you got on the hardest difficulty. Despite these expectations to do poorly, or to not win it can be incredibly rewarding. When you get that win it feels amazing. When you lose a really close game, it doesn't matter, because you pushed someone with win-button players to the brink. When you lose, well, that was expected.

Have any of you other guys tried this? You can check out some of my attempts here:

If you guys are growing tired of the game, I encourage you to try this out.

That's cool and all but I watched the first 5 minutes of your first video and almost all you did was turbo drive and pass it out to take 3s...you complain about others playing cheesy and yet you kinda do the same thing.

Granted, you are playing with bronze players but have you tried bringing the ball up the court slowly, setting your offense, running pick and roll, running plays, etc. to score?

I honestly don't find drive and kicks cheesy. It's something you'd see in the NBA. If they don't collapse, potentially go up for a layup or post up in the paint, if they do collapse, send it outside. I am able to stop drive and kicks easily if that is all an opponent does, so I don't find it that bad.

Now, I do find the first video to be not as good of a game as the second one, so I took it out of the post. (The only one up there does use PnR, and uses the center a lot, may be more to your liking).

Haven't watch your vids yet but I give you props for using an all bronze team. I've beaten a alot all gold lineups also, and I can tell that people that do use these lineups aren't even good. These people probably don't even know or even watch basketball at all. Nobody likes a cheeser but I think its fine to cheese against these all gold lineups since you're at a disadvantage every game and they need to be taught a lesson also.

Are you playing on the PC?

How did you get your cameras to follow you around like you are playing MyCareer? I've been stuck playing with the side camera ever since I've been playing MyTeam (I'm on a PS4) and I HATE IT!

*Goes to attempt to change cameras settings right now*

So driving and kicking is cheesy? LMAO these forums are hysterical. Screens aren't necessary when everyone reaches constantly.

Nothing in 2k is unstoppable and everything has a counter. If I played a Bronze team I would play physical and limit perimeter shots since most bronze teams rely on outside shooting.

Edit: I watched OP's video and yeah he does kind of zig zag to the paint. At least he is trying to challenge himself though, but his offense looks very limited. Zig zag to the paint or a quick pass to a 3 pt shot.

If im not mistaken the other team had gary payton. I tend to zig zag against him because the amount of steal you can get with him is out of hand. even on dribble moves with some of the best ball handlers the ball is flying away

Re: My Invented Game Mode: Bronze Team vs. Gold Team

Ive been running an all bronze team in road to the playoffs for awhile now...

Ive only lost 2 games with it...

Ive played at least 15 games...

Ive beaten people with the superteams and it is pretty hilarious...

One guy started making excuses after I destroyed him by 23... He had all the diamond players and he told me the reason why he lost was because he was playing with one hand lol... So Im assuming he sucked Ronnie2k off for his team like alot of these kids are... It didnt help him though which made it comical...

Most of these guys with the super teams have no idea how to use them properly which makes them easier to beat... the problem is that the game rewards bad basketball play... which makes these diamond players more coveted...

Its important to know how to attack them though... For example I went up against a guy who had Melo at the 4. So I gave the ball to Festus Ezeli in the post and destroyed him... Ezeli finished with 26 points... And Im not talking about lead passing. Im talking post moves... Taking advantage of the matchups is what wins you games... I also have Darius Miller play at the 4. It gives me a different look if they have a big frontcourt.

I play small ball and have Miller at the 4. Love him! Also love Chris Johnson at the 5.

Chris Johnson is solid... I kind of regret having sold him...

His dunk tendency is pretty solid and he can jump and block well...

His freethrow release is kind of wierd though...

I didnt see you much of anything wrong your play was straight up...btw, I watched another vid you had going up with your all bronze ,it was the one against the " ymd" guy, you do know he is like a really big youtube 2k guy named "gento" he is one of the biggest on youtube and is very popular. I was amazed to see him charge cheesin and playin cheap like that , especially against a all bronze team...amazing that you got that on tape ( i mean recorded, I wish more folks could see that he plays that way...smh)

Re: My Invented Game Mode: Bronze Team vs. Gold Team

Re: My Invented Game Mode: Bronze Team vs. Gold Team

Re: My Invented Game Mode: Bronze Team vs. Gold Team

Just played with my Bronze Team in RTTP, it was the best game ever.

He was runnin with a gold team, not too stacked, his star was Ty Lawson.

The lead changed a lot in the game, the biggest lead was 5 for me and him.
5 secs before the end I was down by 73-76 and I heard cause of his headset he was already celebrating, but then Gerald Green smashed home the 3 while being doubled!

Then in OT he had the better start, but with 7 points from Gerald Green I decided the game, a few seconds left, I made the 5point lead with a freethrow, he was raging a lot and quit in the end. With this game I'm now in seed 7

Btw I really like your videos man!
