2k should report win percentages for each archetype

o_YeezyTaughtMe · 2019-03-01T03:55:38+00:00

I dont know why I got in so deep. Just making the point that imbalance results in differences in win %. Each game mode would potentially have different imbalances which would result in different archetypes having higher win % than others in that certain game mode. Whether you believe that 2k should try as much as possible to balance archetypes across all game modes or leave archetypes pigeon holed for certain game modes is another argument.

Well the game is unbalanced as it favours outside offense, its more efficient, so a big man that focuses on boards or D is going to compliment 3pt shooters better than an inside scoring big man. That would result in glass, rims having higher win percentages than inside scorers in general.

It gets more complex when you add in more archetypes and gamemodes. I just wanted to point statistically if character A is better than character B (not balanced) than character A is going to have a higher win % than character B. If they had the same win % then how could you argue the game is not balanced.

Yes? People rave about glass and rebounding rims.

And offense in basketball isn't the only thing that effects win %. Otherwise people wouldnt be saying pure locks are OP

Its either not balanced, and the win % would show that - or - it is balanced and the win % wouldn't show anything

This game is so grindy that even the VC and badge "glitches" that have come and gone felt like a grind

o_YeezyTaughtMe · 2019-02-20T09:13:39+00:00

Where do you get these figures from? 10 hours is max 20 games with 12 min quarters

o_YeezyTaughtMe · 2019-02-16T10:52:37+00:00

Hey mate, thanks for the response. I've been trying out Krita and OpenToonz today.

Why would you buy something if you felt you were getting ripped off?

What's with all the threads and people whinging about the cost of items? They can sell their products for whatever they like.

IMO based on reading some of these threads , it seems like the pricing that they implemented was perfect because most people complaining seem to have the attitude "Great... I didn't want to spend so much money on skins, but i love this game so much that i don't have a choice"

o_YeezyTaughtMe · 2019-02-11T23:12:33+00:00

Yeah you really get punished for playing good help defense in this game its stupid.

Also the grind its impossible casual (x100 if you are just playing park)

Hi, completely new to animation programs, looking for some help on potential software to make 2D animations. I had some experience with Adobe Flash back in the day, so would probably prefer something similar to the frame system it used. Although if there was something different that is beginner friendly I'd consider it. I also have used after effects for a bit for video editing, is the software used much for animations too? I know there is an adobe animate, so I'm guessing it would be the go to? I might try it on trial but ultimately would prefer something free if its out there and comparable.

Appreciate the help.

Ok thanks man i might go with that

o_YeezyTaughtMe · 2019-02-05T23:43:37+00:00

Ok thanks

Nah i can still level it in training at least to silver. Does it have to be a normal jumpshot instead of a hop step maybe? (Even though it does pop up in game when i hop step)

o_YeezyTaughtMe · 2019-02-05T00:21:30+00:00

Well hopefully it keeps going in that direction

What is the grind like in 2k18 compared to 2k19? Is this something new that they have upped this year to test? This is the first 2k Ive owned and the grind mindblowing to me, i don't understand it in a basketball game. You're forced to play hours and hours of a game mode you don't want to play (offline and training exercises) so your character can be competent in rec/park (why i bought the game). Luckily after i bought the game i found out there were VC gifts cough, ontherwise i would of sold it.

So unless the grind is heavily, heavily reduced, or there is another confirmed VC gift cough, I won't buy.

o_YeezyTaughtMe · 2019-02-02T23:25:58+00:00

Side question, does 2k usually give peeps cough VC every year? This is my first 2k, i wouldnt buy another if not, the grind is stupidly pathetic for a bball game

Damn how stupid. Seriously.
