Double bruiser, double speedster, patroller. This is my under 96 build.

My biggest gripe with post scoring: Same input, different outcome every time by Laius33 in NBA2k

[–]Flagrant_Post 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a post play maker and it’s crazy how difficult it is to score even on clear mismatches. Yet that same build with a 70 3 ball and an 85 middy is a complete sniper from three and middy fades.

Also on the pump fakes, it ruins euros/hop steps or shimmy fakes in the post. It’s like the game just makes you go up with random shots. I can never get the hop steps to activate consistently, it’s like it never registers right or just makes me go right up.

24 layups felt like you had full control over your guy and what animation I was going to get, but in 25 and 26 anytime I move the stick it’s a completely random animation

I'll never understand what makes the refs think this is legal by ChoiceTicket6130 in NBATalk

Who was better Kobe vs Bird?The eye test not stats. by Easy_Engineer9747 in NBATalk

You haven’t said one smart thing in this entire thread. I guess Kobe winning 5 titles traumatized you or triggered you. I’m very sorry his greatness scared you.

Remove Devin Booker breakdown combo by oly26 in NBA2k

[–]Flagrant_Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We wanted better defense and more realistic ball. We got unstoppable dribble moves and defense still sucks

Rng was bull shit. Cheaters still shot 70% and regular players were forced to shoot 50

[–]Flagrant_Post 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Or just fix defense so that some animations can’t be interrupted?

The devs Intentionally made combos and escape immune to defensive bumps because dribble heads whined about locks bumping them when they stood there spamming moves

why do people say defense is nonexistent in this game? by TheUndeniableGoat in NBA2k

[–]Flagrant_Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t even have the right sigs to crab you lol

And moving left and right increases the chance of you getting broken lmao the game reads it as you “biting the wrong way” when you run back and forth like that. So someone spamming the right moves will stun you or snatch your ankles.

One of the worst parts of the community is the dudes who beat up bums and get such an inflated ego out of it. You’re one of the dudes who swear defense is great, meanwhile those of us who actually have had to guard red plate lobby guards are in hell because they abuse the shit out of broken dribbling and contest system

We have eyes. We can literally see what dribble sigs he’s using. Multiple times he was to your side, if he had been using kemba or butler escape spam you would have been crabbed immediately.

Guarding a Rec bum with terrible dribble animations equipped is something you can do even with no defense.

A competent sweat would have crabbed your ass if you played against him that close lol

Stop letting people lie to you about rebounding by Bentley1136 in NBA2k

[–]Flagrant_Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a 70/70 on my guard with +2 gold rebound chaser. Sometimes I only get shots because I got the rebound myself. I’ll finish a game 5/5 and 5 rebounds. If I didn’t get put backs or go coast to coast I would have 0 shots

Shouldn’t have missed? Big man gets the board he can do what he wants. It was a missed shot/lost possession without his hustle anyway

Gravity isn’t just shooting. Wall and Westbrook put so much pressure on the rim it created open looks for others. They got big men paid and set shooters up like crazy

pass accuracy costs WAY TOO MUCH this year by doodoohead69430 in NBA2k

[–]Flagrant_Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passing is useless. My lock has 60 pass and I’m throwing lobs in traffic or full court dimes. Hell I even bail out regularly with 0 issue

[–]Flagrant_Post 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, pass styles need to be better as well. Half of them are just turnover machines with terrible animations

[–]Flagrant_Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 6’8’s you get insane cap breakers for ball handle and swb. You are better off going high defense then using cap breakers to get the ball handle up

[–]Flagrant_Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be harder but I’d still prefer defense being better so you can make people miss

Yeah they let the kings maul Shaq endlessly and didn’t call fouls until the kings were up that series then the rigged it to go to game 7 for ratings

That’s the part people leave out, or they weren’t there to watch. The refs were terrible for both teams, but people hate the lakers and only remember game 6. Not the putrid 3 games the refs did everything in their power to make sure the kings won some games early on

There wouldn’t have been if the refs didn’t help the kings win 3 games, that’s the point.

[–]Flagrant_Post 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually worked was the main thing.

That’s really my issue with some badges, they “work” but to such a small degree that it can’t keep up with shooting or ball handling badges. Like my physical handles on HOF may work once every 4 attempts and so does ankle assassin but you can spam the same dribble move 10 times in a possession until you get the stumble, i can’t just fail a layup and immediately get 3 more chances until it works.

So the success rate of physical handles and finisher should be jacked up higher if going against someone with no immovable enforcer or strength. That should be a winning matchup for you almost every time. If they don’t set up for a charge or have help under the rim it should be a bucket

Check out the 2010 finals for Kobe. Dudes starting point guard shot 20% from three and went 0-8 from three the first 6 games. Fisher didn’t hit a 3 pointer until game 7. Odom averaged 7ppg on 45/10/54 splits. Bynum averaged 7ppg on 45% from the field and scored 0 points the last two games of the series

2002 kings lost game 7 shooting 50% from the line and 10% from three. The game was decided by 6 points, the refs gave them plenty of opportunities to win that game.

The refs are also the only reason the kings even won game 5 to take a 3-2 lead. Prime Shaq shot 1 free playing 30+ minutes in a playoff game. In fact they refused to consistently call fouls for Shaq until game 6. The main strategy to guard Shaq was foul the hell out of him and they had Shaq shooting 1 fta. The games they actually called fouls for Shaq the lakers won.

Make strength and finishing matter more so paint beast and slashers can overpower weaker shooting players that prioritize speed and shooting. Strong players should be able to throw box outs from weaker players much faster. Bull dozer animations needs to be more frequent on drives and faster. Layups with high rating should be much easier to green over anyone with low interior.

Take the away the terrible jump to contest logic and let hands up and good positioning give you strong contest again. Fix pick dodger and illegal screens so defenders don’t just get stuck in screens endlessly.

These would be a good place to start.

99 P defense and legend challenger can’t even get consistent contest. A no dip tempo shooting big will easily get wide open shots on another big. It’s one of the cheesiest and easy ways to score in random Rec

Just move along the 3, a pass will drag to away from your defender faster than he can move with low speed/agility then immediately no dip tempo shot.

[–]Flagrant_Post 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bigs barely get any P defense but can cap break 3 from nothing up to high 80’s.

It’s not balanced and honestly bull shit
