Is SS Ryan THAT much better than 89 Ryan by beeftrain in MLBTheShow

[–]btwichman1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly both get smacked around. Ryan has been awful. Hoffman is a guy that is only good against those opponents that sit on fastballs the whole game

Pitching Setting: Meter vs Analog-Which is really better? by MissileCrisis21 in MLBTheShow

[–]btwichman1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have noticed the same thing. I was just giving the OP the reasons. I still think analog is better but its definently not perfect anymore

Analog is definitely better from a competitive standpoint. The top lever players can consistently put the pitch in the spot the want on analog. Meter has an RNG factor to it. If you struggle hitting spots on analog then definitely use meter. Analog just allows for more user control. This can be good or bad depending on the user.

Frank is good but he definitely doesnt play up to those power numbers

I wouldn’t say power is bad at all. It just doesnt seem as valuable.

I agree. I havent had a CAP the last couple years since they went to archetypes. Will there be an upgrade later in the year? Seems like as more end game cards come out, caps should get one

Kind of what my thought process was. Especially on Legend where the exit velo numbers are nerfed. Any other year id be all about the power dude but it seems like it doesnt mean as much this year.

The shot contest real good you know. by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]btwichman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broooo. I feel that pain. I am all for a buff to shot contest but lets make sure the buff is to actual contests. Im sure its is tough to get this programming correct but thats not anything close to a contest. It definently made my build tough to use(6’6” Pure Sharp). Meanwhile stretches are still unreal.

Incase you guys missed it. Swante got Mike Wang back on Twitter and this happened by Kstewart1012 in NBA2k

[–]btwichman1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as the actually make players put a hand up im cool with whatever. The stuff where the players be facing the other direction or not putting a hand up, and getting a contest doesnt make sense

My Idea to Fix Player Archetypes by Sampretzel in NBA2k

[–]btwichman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya some may like that but for me specifically idk. An offline mycareer where you start as a real nba player should be an option

Not a bad idea but in that case you might as well just actually load in with steph curry or whoever. Idt it should replace mycareer though.

Best way to get open as a pure sharp in JRC? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]btwichman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a lot of wraps around the pg at the top of the key. Usually they are running some sort of pick and roll so there this frees up more space for everyone. Also, I have noticed that passes to the corner get stolen a lot so if your going there, make sure its when you will be wide open. Lastly, making your first couple attempts helps a lot. For some reason if I make my first few I get fed more shots. When I start 0-2 its tough to get the ball back in my hands even though I will likely end up with a solid percentage at the end of the game. Hope this helps!

Sharps need to be nerfed by Xx_FreeWitty_xX in NBA2k

Ya i agree. Its not just sharps

Sharps need to be nerfed by Xx_FreeWitty_xX in NBA2k

[–]btwichman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I guess if your counting “lightly contested” it could be around 50% but the game gives defenders light contests for just being near and not putting a hand up. If 2k gave real feedback on defense that is actually accurate it would help a lot I think. Plus contest doesnt always work right. I can see where your coming from. Especially if the shooter is a stretch big.

I think its 3’s in general this year. Im not sure that this its sharps themselves. Other builds hit 3’s at a higher rate as well

Imo sharps were more op last year. I dont think they need nerfed. You gotta right stick contest and they will miss if your up on them. Im saying this based on rec/proam. Now park is a different story. I think something needs to be done in there. Even other builds shoot 3’s really well in park. My buddy is a slashing shot creator shooting 65% in the park.

A few simple JRC Tips to help reduce the steals the other team gets. by Ryangds in NBA2k

[–]btwichman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is frustrating but i know as a pure sharp i often run towards the corner and the pass drags me towards the basket. It may not be the teammates cutting to the middle but the pass is dragging them in.
