OFFICIAL BASKETBALL VIDEO GAME THREAD || NBA 2K24 OUT NOW; PREPARE YOUR BARBIES ACCORDINGLY

[HIM]

the only way to truly defend it is just by playing sides or having a lockdown and just hedge high on screen which will allow your opponent to score easy 2s at times off the roll

i tell my guys let me die if they ISOing, and if they get by me dont help, we can get 3s on the other end if needed (only when we up by about 5+ though)

your teammate that is guarding guy in corner legit has to stay glued to that person, if corner defender moves its a easy knockdown 3

ive noticed these streamers who create the 5'9 guards that ISO dont play on-ball defense, they sit corner and let the lock down guard the primary on-ball handler

my 6'5 PG can box some of these guards up with the gold clamps but some of the offensive animations/badges just out number the defensives ones

Rotations. I love going up against these types of players/teams with my A squad. I play center so I’m usually switching on the screen. They iso me and i overplay the 3/let them blow by me. Either that or play sides and let the big roll. Corner man helps, the nearest teammate (normally on the wing) rotates to the corner, I rotate to the wing. Now it’s 10 seconds on the clock and they’re back at square one. Nothing better than getting a few shot clock violations in a row

their best bet is to hunt the switch in the paint and kill our PG with their big. But one thing about 2k players, they’re toxic narcissists, so they will not let a big take the most shots in a game, especially in the paint.

I enjoy the teams that play good, non-cheese, bball i rec.Even if I lose, those games are the most fun.

Think I might be ready to take it to the Pro Am. Consistently putting up 30+ in the Rec

This is the best 2K I've played in 10 years.

Next gen and current gen are both different games but are far superior than anything since 2K11

Just got last gen off Gamepass from my bro for free. Worth upgrading to next gen?

Yea I would do it.

2K are crooks and doesn't do smart delivery or a $10 upgrade but I'm not mad I paid full price for it

How long is 2k's contract with the NBA?


NBA has to be paying close attention o what's going on between EA and FIFA.

 

[moonman818]

Do they have an exclusivity contract? I thought it was just EA with Madden.

 

[T0INE]

I don't think the NBA contract is exclusive.

EA can still make NBA Live the problem is they ****** up so many times with the Live series it lead to 2K monopolizing it to the point where it seems like it's exclusive.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

I see 2K is already on sale.

beat some trash *** youtuber named Jai Eazy on next gen over weekend

i was on my PG and i locked they PG zig zagging ***** *** up... I lied LOL, played too many games over the weekend losing my mind

there PG had every shot while the other 2 including this Jai Eazy guy corner sat and hold they nuts all game long

after we hit the game winner.. i love being toxic sent them a message asking if they have fun.. obv i got no reply lolol

A lot of bums outchea at the guard position in general.. once you lock up the zig zag bs they dont know what to do

this dude was driving on me due to no chase down defense on my build

This is facts. It's actually fairly simple to guard if you have competent teammates.

I want to create a new build and make him way less well rounded.

Talk to ATM and then play 10 games in The Park; it can be either 3v3 or 2v2.

I play on PlayStation 5 and my PSN name is OGTheDonMakaveli. I’m a casual so I tend to make mistakes.

The tiny guard meta is keeping me away from next gen at the current moment. That doesn't seem like fun at all.
