In 2K16, 2K17, and 2K18, it always felt like I was on skates on defense.
No matter who I was playing with, no matter what defender I was controlling, online, or offline, my defenders would be on skates.
If an offensive player would drive against me, I would guess the correct way and gently move my analog in that direction, while holding LT (Xbox). If a player was rushing past me I would also use turbo.
No matter what I tried, whether it was letting off LT at certain times, only holding it to glue myself to the defender, nothing. It hasn't worked in years.
This gets significantly worse online. I've had multiple internet providers, extremely fast internet, and no input lag on NBA Live, yet playing in the park in 2k has been unbearable. Playing head to head I've been FORCED to play off ball defense, because the input lag is so terrible. This is NOT an issue with any other sports game (including Madden, Rocket League, NBA Live, Fifa, etc.)
With all that being said, I have enjoyed the NBA Live gameplay more, and was going to not get 2k this year, but the one thing that 2k always gets right is rosters and rotations for play now. This really excites me and it's always fun to have two games.
I won't buy unless this input lag thing is taken care of, and I just can't buy if I cannot play decent defense.
Can you all help me out? How has input lag been for you online? Is it so bad that you have to play off ball defense? Is it improved over last year?
Is defense improved offline as well? Is it easier to stay with your man if you guess the correct direction?
I know there is a defensive impressions thread (90% of the impressions were from the prelude). But I want an answer on this specific issue, so please help. Thank you!
