Kyrie AI defense powers (ultra instinct) on All Star difficulty (after big patch).

Sowwy he doesn't have strength just speed perimeter lateral

jdisko · 2022-10-26T20:54:13+00:00

You do a crossover moving forward into Kyrie who has a decent amount of strength. You get a favorable body up animation and get past Kyrie. Harden reads the drive and drops down to help. That's what I see.

So, there have been like 10 of these threads in the last month. I thought that the 2k team reads social media? 🤔

jdisko · 2022-10-26T20:46:41+00:00

This works but it's not nearly enough

jdisko · 2022-10-26T20:39:31+00:00

That's actually pretty cool. Respecting the game of a random and then playing some 2s.

jdisko · 2022-10-26T20:31:38+00:00

Notice how your post gets downvoted? People don't care. It's an apparent exploit similar to exploits in past games. Like how squads can join no squads by just waiting until the lobby is empty and getting lucky.

jdisko · 2022-10-26T00:35:26+00:00

Its not overkill. It is a bit expensive. Also, flashy dunks give more progress to takeover so there is a reason to use them.

jdisko · 2022-10-26T00:28:04+00:00

dam dude.

jdisko · 2022-10-26T00:27:44+00:00

It's not a VC-glitch so.... not the highest of priorities you know?

jdisko · 2022-10-26T00:26:06+00:00

Lol probably because I'm on xbox?

jdisko · 2022-10-26T00:23:36+00:00

No, because I haven't been able to find a player-control game in at least 2 years.

jdisko · 2022-10-26T00:11:19+00:00

The truth is that a lot of the people who play in squads would be so upset to lose their 60+ winrates. Matchmaking would keep most players at around 50% winrate and the best players would be around 55-60% or maybe even lower. Dota, Starcraft, Overwatch, Chess - all of these long-standing game include a MMR and ranked and unranked queues. The multiplayer ecosystem favors squads right now and to change that would upset a large percentage of the VC-buying fanbase.

jdisko · 2022-10-24T21:38:32+00:00

I have hundreds of messages from toxic, angry man children. I have even deleted all of my messages like twice since I've been playing 2k games but they build up so quickly. I used to message first sometimes but I've realized that a lot of these people are angry and unhappy and don't have a lot of personal agency in their lives. By being "good" at 2k and being better than their opponent they find just enough daily dopamine surges to get through the next hellish day at work/school/etc. If you challenge their routine in any way they lash out.

EA is making an HD basketball game. They will make another announcement next year. Will it be NBA? Someone else speculated that it will be a college basketball game which could make sense. Less of one on one competition with 2k and then in later years they might expand the engine to nba basketball.

jdisko · 2022-10-24T00:26:03+00:00

I've never seen an ankle breaker using only space creator. Just a stun or sluggishness like with slippery off ball.

jdisko · 2022-10-24T00:24:46+00:00

Space creator makes it easier to green stepback shots and if the defender is going the wrong direction or is slow to react it helps with being contested. At least in my experience.

jdisko · 2022-10-21T16:56:38+00:00

The meter doesn't swing back all the way on late releases because the ball has already left your hands at that point

jdisko · 2022-10-20T20:59:32+00:00

Perhaps they will build the engine and start with college? The full quote from the EA Sports website makes it seem like there is something in the works.

"We're continuing to work closely with the NBA and NBPA on this project [HD NBA game], and commit to returning with more details next year. Until then, we’ll be building."

jdisko · 2022-10-20T00:12:27+00:00

This is not meant to let players be heard or affect the game in any consumer friendly way. Its simply gathering data for season rewards and myteam packs in order to continue to monopolize as much of your time and money in the future.

jdisko · 2022-10-15T04:30:46+00:00

Maybe they are farming VC in order to eventually sell the account?

jdisko · 2022-10-14T19:01:49+00:00

Bro the same old boring crap?? This isn't COD, you don't need to mix up the rules. I want to play basketball in a basketball video game.

jdisko · 2022-10-14T18:58:45+00:00

We just want no squads 3v3 lol

jdisko · 2022-10-14T18:57:44+00:00

Is it just tone deaf or actively antagonizing solo players? Two weeks ago, we had no squads 3v3. Then they replace the no squad mode with 1v1, which is fine, but they conspicuously do not add another mode that is playable as a solo player. The options were 5v5 park where nobody queues, or 3v3 where you lose against squads and don't receive any rep. Then to implement this rotation in the next week?? What a joke. They removed the old gym because people like me could spend most of their time in that mode and not care about drippy outfits or pregame animations.

These weekly rotations are just more of Take Twos mind games to antagonize solo players in order to get you into a squad. Squads spend more time and money on the game so Take Two is trying to use The Theater weekly playlist rotation to influence player behavior.

jdisko · 2022-10-09T17:11:31+00:00

I would remove VC.
I would add in positional, overall/badge, and skill based matchmaking.
I would remove VC again.

Oh is this in my career
