Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
I've been an avid 2K player since forever and this year is ridiculously hard. Every shot is contested regardless how far the defender is. I cant get past the on ball defender ever. And it seems the CPU just catches fire and then the game is over. Anyone else having this issue?Tags: None -
Re: Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
What difficulty?
I am having a hard time enjoying the game on default sliders this year. All star I find too easy to score, superstar both me and the computer are shooting ~55-60%. So its hard but hard for a different reason than what you are saying.
I play as Boston as well for what its worth -

Re: Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
Well the contest thing is a whole other story. They changed it and now even role players are contesting like elite defenders smh. Its ridiculous tbh. But as far as how hard the game is, depends on the difficulty you're playing on. Anything above all-star is cheeze by the CPU imo. They just inflate the CPU's sliders and deflate your's. I find all-star with a few slider tweaks the best and most enjoyabe.Last edited by WarMMA; 11-19-2018, 09:53 PM.Comment

It's not just you. They took a step backwards in CPU defense, especially on the ball. Every defender will crowd every ball handler as soon as they pass half court.
Sliders can help to some extent, but only if you're not playing MyTeam/My Career.Comment

Re: Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
It's definitely challenging this year, I used to play on superstar but this year allstar is better for me.
I win some and lose some and don't always feel cheated.
What kills me is the CPU abuses dribbling into the congested paint (without losing the ball) until they score.
I use sliders to make it more realistic and reduce the game flaws.
CPU PIP is a crazy and the lack of paint collision is extremely lacking.Last edited by keshunleon; 11-19-2018, 09:54 PM.True bout my business, Mane!Comment

Re: Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
My only tip for is to slow down and take your time
Dont always sprint up.the court or sprint when trying to do everything
For example, start with a slow dribble then do a quick dribble move to get past your opponent
Be patient on offense and let things develop; watch your teammates and look for opportunities
If you are about to shoot a shot to be contested, move the ball around work for a better shot
Use pick and roll to get free for a good shot
The game forces you to actually play basketball, which is what alot of gamers of this game arent used to.
Just take your time

Re: Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
On an out of bounds play I will take control of a player and just run around changing direction just watching the CPU responses.
They don't react they respond instantly.
The psychic defenders are back and there is no physics so the CPU just slides into place.True bout my business, Mane!Comment

Re: Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
Here are the slider sets i use for offense.
I play on HOF. The games are competitive. I lose some, I win some.

Re: Is this year ridiculously hard for anyone else?
Bruce, that was hell high in shot success sliders. I am comfortable at 49 for all except 51 for 3-ball. Care to share the team comparison stats for a game?
Agreed with everything said, right on point.

Use a team with an elite player with over 90 rating. It makes it easier.
The players' tendencies aren't quite SIM so I wont recommend default sliders. It doesnt generate enough 3-ball attempts for sure.
I would say, range between 47 to 49 on 3-ball gives a good 40+% on field goal made, 44 to 46 can yield 30+%. With that, I can easily have one player with 20+ rebounds.
I'm speaking strictly offline, myleague season mode.

Are u referring to cpu drive out of a pnr action or straight blow by and drive to the paint? There're counters for them.

Yep, NBA2k19 has its issues with a lack of all fouls, except reaching fouls and fouls on shots in the paint, but outside of that issue, the gameplay and the the adjustments that the CPU makes against you, is the best its ever been.
Yes it has it quirks, but overall gameplay is pretty good, offline anyway.
I think 1 reason why some seem to be strugglin is they refuse to play on a lower difficulty. Some people just refuse to ever go lower than HOF or SS, and even fewer will go lower than all star, they would rather complain that the CPU cheats, and the game is crap, instead of trying pro or even rookie.
DaCzar said this yr ACE is utilized on all level, so whether your on HOF or Rookie, the CPU will utilize ACE, and adjust thruout the game. So there is no reason, for anyone to complain about the game being too hard, lower the damn difficulty, and if you still cant win on rookie, put the sliders in even more in your favor.
Im probably 1 of the worst NBA2k players on the sticks now days, and I cant play on HOF or SS, and its not the NBA2k devs fault, its father time, and some other issues as to why I have to play on lower levels now. Im doing fine on pro now, but when the game 1st came out, I even lost a few games on rookieEveryone who exalts themselves will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted- Luke14-11
