Yeah, I’ve already pretty much given up playing this year’s 2k.And I’m about 1 week’s worth of games away from regretting even buying it.
Year after year, the gameplay is moving backwards, imo. And this year it feels like 2k has built a game that was meant to specifically cater to the ‘wishes’ of the YouTubers.
They continue to adjust stuff to reduce cheese, sure I get it. That’s great... but at the same time, they ruin the other things that worked really well in the past & felt natural.
The MyCareer story is sooo much better.... but the actual ‘controls’ have degraded drastically, imo.
And the ironic thing is... the folks I have seen on YouTube who praise the game... are ALL using the very same jumpshot bases & releases, the same builds, the same archetypes, and the same dribble moves to compensate for the flawed mechanics.
I’ve been a fan of 2k for years.... but it’s just not as appealing (or as fun) as it was back in 2011.
I’m seeing videos of people in the Park...
- Still not passing the ball.
- Still over dribbling.
- Still making ‘heavily contested’ deep jumpers, from mid court.
- Still spamming the steal button, on defense.
- Still taking reckless shots from halfcourt.
In MyCareer, my CPU teammates are still leaving their assignments wide open in the corners, for no good reason whatsoever.
It just feels like NBA 2k18 all over again... only with a bigger neighborhood... a better storyline... the ability to skip cutscenes... but LESS ability to get open... and way too many ‘missed shots’ at higher ranking, as I level up.
The higher my rank goes.... the more shots i miss. Which feels so backward.
It’s like, you can’t just play the game & have it work well, right out the box. You have to spend way too much time to ‘configure’ every last slider setting & attribute of your Player.... just to get the game to a point where it doesn’t make you frustrated.
When 2k11 dropped, I just started playing and having fun RIGHT AWAY.Then tweaked the sliders & configurations as I went along (like after playing every 10-20 games, or so) to get ‘the balance’ more to my liking. But now in 2k19, I realize I have tweak some shit / or adjust some slider / or re-configure a move / or select a new animation... after every other game
, because of some bullshit that just happened in the previous game, that pissed me off.
Yeah right. Shorty about to be swallowing my kids. Damn the game

It's like they fix cheese by putting more cheese in it.
Prime example:
Blow bys was a big problem in 18. They made a point to "fix" that.
I made a primary slasher this year, and it's like I have to crack the DaVinci code to drive to the basket, even when I'm supposed to.
I'm on the Lakers, I get a decent screen from Lebron James on some big dude - I have enough space to go by the defender and the screen with NO CONTACT, I'm touching nobody, a clean lane to the basket...and 2K REFUSED to let me go by, it was like I was running into a wall.
Also, they somehow fucked up the screen system. I'll call for a screen, and if the nigga ain't taking forever to get to the spot and he actually gets there, he ain't staying for more than half a second before he trying to dip out.
Another thing I get a lot.
On the fast break, I get a pass lane steal on the perimeter, I'm on the one man fast break, full stamina damn near - for some reason, they'll just have me do the brand-new Chris Paul crab-dribble-to-protect-the-ball thing they was hyping up, FOR NO REASON but to hold me back so the defense can catch up instead of just letting me fly to the basket. Because that's what players in the NBA do - on a fast break, they lollygag dribble so the defense can catch up.
I agree, 2K has gotten to willing to appease all these crybabies on Twitter and Youtube. The people who make the game need to just play the game and see for themselves all the bullshit they need to fix, and have actual game testers and go with their suggestions, not suggestions of mostly the teenagers and bums of the 2K Community, and just put the game out like this is what it is.
Man this game is hard as hell to play! I'm missing open shots with Lebron. It says to late even when I just tap the button or just hit the analog quick.
Ya'll both have said the shit that is HIGHLY annoying about this year's game.
Leeetsss GOOO!!! )) Just saying. But whatever. I ain't gonna stress it. I'm just the 6th man.)
Right down the toilet. 
... and I also miss shots that I definitely intended to take. Unlike previous years. It needs work.
You gotta run plays and sets.. plus of your in myplayer mode you gotta be above a 90 rating or better if your playing on all star mode or harder
They make the game for my park, rec and other games. They stopped caring about my player a long time ago. Now it's just a necessary way to level up to get to those other game modes. I only play my player. I can't stand playing in park, rec or the other games. I don't like the interaction with people. If I wanted to interact with people I wouldn't be playing video games, I'd be logging out and going outside.
Try calling for off ball screens and cutting hard to the basket and call 4 the rock. That should at least get you fouled and to the line. This was the 1st 2k ever i had some games early off with D and F grades
Lil niggas on there talk mad shit.. but you gotta go with a crew in there otherwise it’s a moot point.. I don’t even waste my time
I started the Prelude demo with a SG. Then during my first G league game I couldn't do shit. I went back and made a center. The game is easier grade wise playing as a big. Post fades are also unguardable if you're not freakishly tall.
This
I’m fucking buying the damn game son! But if these codes don’t work....
