OT 2K19

I've decided I'm going with 2K 19 over Live 19.

I downloaded the Live 19' Demo.... Just TRASH...

There's a Damian Lillard sighting in this video:

I'm getting the Steam version, which is 80 GB to download...

Live still has a lot of work to do gameplay wise. The made a big step graphically this year, but it's obvious they spent their time on that instead of improving gameplay.

 

[BonesJones]

Also, 2K's player ratings are HORRIBLE this year.

Whiteside is an 85, Nurkic is a 79.....
Harrison Barnes is an 82, Otto Porter is a 81....
Towns is a 91, Lillard is a 90...

Comical.

No way I’m buying another 2k game unless the VC stuff is trashed. I haven’t played Live 19 yet, but I’d rather have no nba video game than play 2k. -now that my non needed rant is out -

I hope you enjoy it! Live 18 wasn’t too bad imo it was more of an “arcade” style game vs 2k which is much more simulation oriented.

If Live 19 has figured out a better trading system, then that's a good start.

The game I'm really waiting for this year is Red Dead Redemption 2.

You know something I don't?

What's that?

Gameplay sucks. That's that the end all be all.

Make a thread about that then.

Their graphics are shit.

Just trash. Really bad.

He'll get patched. It always does.

He's gonna have to get rid of that tendency to be a soft flopper.

It's hurting his rep.

And Whiteside dunks out and goes up strong every time.

Didn't say gr8rhey weren't. Just that they took a big step.

2K should be better than the casual fan.

I’m getting the legendary edition to get it four days early. Wife is away for the weekend so I will have plenty of time between Friday and Monday, the standard edition is not out until Tuesday.

I will probably sell all the additional content on an auction though, won’t play MyTeam anyway.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Make a thread about that then.

I plan to closer to release date.

They have a thing for Towns and I don't get it. Dame is a 93 at least but he is underrated in real life all the time so why would they give him a fair rating in a game? Jokic also has a stupid rating

How is Dame overrated in real life?

I meant underrated my bad. Fixed it.

Makes a lot more sense now. 1st Team All-NBS. 27/6/4 with a 59 TS%, and he's only a 90. Ridiculous.

Meanwhile, CJs an 87. There's a bigger difference between those two than that.

 

[BonesJones]

Also, I'm gonna be the first one to do a full 2019 draft class.

Overall rating is not be and all of everything. Sometimes players get a higher overall and are not really better to play with than those with lower overalls but excellent at select few skills. Porzingis is probably my favorite player in the entire game and he’s like 87-88 for the last two editions. Westbrook is 93 but I hate playing with him.

It’s about what they are good at more than what their overall is. Mitchell was 84 at best in the 2k18 yet was comfortably in my top 5 favorite players to use.

Can’t wait for the game. Just 5 more days.

Overall is more than just play-ability though. Its affects simulations. And then there's the whole "respect" thing.

Not a career guy so I've been playing a bunch of 2KU.

Some notables (playing on Superstar difficulty)....

- Weight/strength seems to matter more down low. Rebounding and post game sequences seem to play out more realistically. Post game feels much more fluid overall.

- Hand-offs are smoother. Rewarded for good angle and timing. Still wish the big would space more appropriately out of them though. I'm sure it's a tough thing to program.

- Defense is better but CPU transition D is still pretty exploitable. Still some debacles in pnr as well but not as frequent. On ball D is much easier/rewarding to play.

- Love that auto-contest is gone. Brings more skill into the game. Game seems to be reading contests better too. Last year a late close would register as a quality contest too often.

- Jump shots are more responsive. Curry's release is also notably quicker. Off dribble shooting is a bit smoother too.

- Loose balls actually feel loose. CPU had superpowers in these situations last year.

- GSW's playbook is just nasty. Guys did a good job w/ their 5 out set. Had a tough time triggering their freelance though. Need some more time with it.

- Game seems to favor execution on higher levels. CPU on ball D seems "stickier". 2k18 felt really loose in comparison.

- Step back effectiveness seems greatly reduced. Good thing imo. You were able to create too much space too frequently last year.

-Struggling to attack CPU closeouts in drive and kick situations though. Overall fluidity and explosiveness of the user offense seems reduced. I don't think it's at a realistic level right now, but until the CPU AI help D improves, it's probably in a pretty good spot for game balancing purposes.

Can't be first team all NBA and be underrated can you?

I think he's an underrated defender...
