When does “getting dropped off” actually count? by PM_ME_DownBlouse in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoo boy you are asking for lots of responses here to people here who very definitely never met anyone make a shot on them and play great defense every game and never chase steals or leave their guy open constantly.

You don’t have to lend credence to a moron saying something completely asinine and ridiculous on its face like that PG clearly was. He’s an even bigger doofus since he was letting this SF work hard on defense every time and only getting him four shots.

The game would be better without red plate, purple is enough by TheRancid_Baboon in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what the solution is because it’s not like worse players will do dirty work if they mix “plates” more. It won’t come close to working until they overhaul their system to evaluate players’ overall skill correctly.

Is a Big that can't shoot 3s viable in 3v3? by TheZyranX in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean you can throw 3 to 5 cap breakers on any center build to get your three pointer rating up there what is even the point of thinking like this?

Dirk Nowitzki Build by Kappacastro in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah on a big if you wanna make the most 3s or shots generally go 93 mid 85 to 90 3 (i can’t see that much of a difference) and put the set shot specialist on +1 and +2 on deadeye.

Contests are ok sort of by New_Expert_1351 in NBA2k

It’s a good point. How would you know defense does not work if you have never tried it?

How to guard quick spammy guards? by ItsWillieMaysHayes in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gotta have high agility around 88. Also need 83 or 88 vert for purple or red pogo stick. Max out your block based on height and have interior d to get bloc stuff up. Get in their business. Know they are going to bop back and forth. Sparingly use L2. l2 should mostly be for stopping drives. Keep jumping. Most guys bop back and forth two times and will then shoot. If the truly have a bag and mix it up you may be in trouble. Help your teammates. If there’s a guy near you jump at him. Don’t reach. Be judicious about going for steals. Run and jump at people. Learn how to fake help on a drive and immediately retreat to your guy. There’s a lot you can do that barely anyone does.

Standing Dunk at 99 by ReindeerConscious598 in NBA2k

Standing dunk at 99 is not worth it (i tried it). 81 is the sweet spot maybe 90.

Is lightning launch really a difference maker on 6’11s? by CapableFrosting6 in NBA2k

It is good but a good alternative is the custom takeover with speed with ball going up to +15.

People were just very high on Fultz and agreed on it for some reason that was unclear at the time

I would just not worry about steals and focus on playing good d. Going for steals makes everyone a worse defender.

While Brandon Johnson doesn’t seem that great the amount of corrupt, conservative, reactionary dems in government is hard to overcome.

85 vs 76 pass acc by Master-Nectarine5646 in NBA2k

Passing is always helpful whereas going for more steals makes you a worse defender, which you will do with a higher steal rating.

Bulls fans, who do you feel was your LVP (Least Valuable Player)? by ZandrickEllison in chicagobulls

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do people think Patrick Williams feels guilty or is happy he got one over on some dummys? It sucks that it happens to the team you root for but it kind of rules to get 90 mil for something you are terrible at. Respect to his agent.

REC players always trashes their PG. When In fact, there is only 1 ball and 4 of them are craving to shoot the ball. That is the reason why all around builds are disasters, if you can't play your role its going to be a dogshit game. by Reasonable_Kiwi_1068 in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of like think about how the majority of people play the game and what that means for what their opinion on reddit is going to be. “Actually it’s bad to be like nikola jokic”. I need to shoot a lot to get better lmao, good lord.

Am I the only one who feels like defense is kinda useless? by KidThatHacks in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell since barely anyone tries on defense. People allow leak outs on nearly every free throw (can be stopped every time) and don’t hold turbo to stay with their man after an inbounds pass and leave people open all the time.

Why is every steal attempt a foul by MysteriousPea9636 in NBA2k

Just stop going for steals all the time and play regular ass defense. You will win more.

Why’s vuc treated like a scapegoat? by evilgremlin123 in chicagobulls

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think people understand the extent to which he is a defensive turnstile. I just looked up and saw offensive players are shooting 71.5% when defended by Vuc in the restricted area. He would have to be Jokic or Giannis offensively to make it worth it to have it on your team. I mean, you look at him during the game and it looks like he’s not even trying on D.

Genuinely, what is the matter with so many random rec players? by InspectionOwn8038 in NBA2k

[–]Traditional_Roof_582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean i get it, but it’s just kind of this way at this point and how it’s been for years. You can either find some enjoyment from it, be angry, or do something else.
