How does anyone win in this game

[Ranger Fan]

I have tried every single slider set in this forum. It just seems that as soon as you get down by 10 points the user cannot buy a shot and the CPU hits everything. I go to the hole and miss a lay up. I miss wide open jumpers. I give up continuous offensive rebounds. Pretty soon it is a 25 point game and a blowout. It doesn't seem to matter even the team I play with. I get so darn frustrated that I just quit the game. I can't enjoy the game as it seems the CPU continuously gets ridiculous crap to go in and I for the life of me cant buy a shot. The only way i can win is to get out to an early lead and hold on for dear life. As soon as it is even 15-5 in the beginning its over. Not once have I overcome a 10 point deficit. The computer just goes in to straight stupid mode

What difficulty are you playing on? Do you play sim ball? When they score 2-3 baskets unanswered do you call a time out, make adjustments and draw up a play you've practiced and know well for your possession out of the time out?

Do you make your own coaching adjustments or do you use ACE?

I've seen all that written by OP. Absolutely know what he is talking about.

Altough i did manage to win some games with Tomba's sliders, with All star league settings. But, the frustration about mentioned problems did occur. And yes, the game does expect you to use your head a lot. As some of the players mentioned, you must forget the habits from past 2K games. I still didn't, too...

I too can relate to the OP. Since this apparently is the year Armor isn’t doing 2k sliders I had to do some searching. I tried Barnsey’s set n the game played just as the OP stated. Absolutely no way to win. Even against less talented teams.

I’m actually liking barnsey’s set because it forces you to really try to play good defense and run plays on offense.

Man I feel you. The AI in this year's game is no joke. I've been playing every 2k since 2k15 on HOF and I probably had a win ratio of 55% or thereabouts, wins were extremely gratifying and losses happened because I played poorly or was outmatched.

This year I've gone from HOF all the way down to Pro just so I can actually have some fun and enjoyment from the experience. I had to swallow my pride going that far down the difficulty ladder so either I'm being exposed by AI playing smarter than ever or there's serious balancing issues.

I'm really enjoying a MyLeague save I have going with the Cavs now using Schnaidt1's sliders on Pro difficulty, I lose more than win but it feels right.

Gotta make adjustments, and run plays this year. Call timeouts.

I win a lot of my games that way.

If I don't adjust, the CPU will kill me.

Trust me.

Adjust your settings for a good 5 minutes before every game


I played the Cavs with the Jazz and blew them out.

Played the Warriors with the Jazz without adjusting my settings and they blew me out by 23

Use Pokes sliders and go to YouTube and look up defensive settings for 2k19. Then learn how to run freelances and this game plays like a dream.

The only way to win on a high level is to call timeouts..a lot of timeouts and make sure to use your head and adjustments...timeouts is the secret to reset ur ace system adjustments...
