Some classic players are fixed, some arent (same face, or new but inaccurate face).

They have duplicates to fill out the all time teams.

For example, Shaq and Chamberlain are on multiple teams. Devon Booker is already on the all time Suns.

I don't have a gripe with the way they set it up overall, but I do have a gripe with Ray Allen being a 95 overall on the all time Thunder (Sonics) while Russell Westbrook is lower. Westbrook is a better all around player than Allen ever was.

(I prefer Dee's choice for his 2K17 mod but) it's 2K's conception of All-Time roster : a player can be on multiple teams.

I don't mind 2K's approach with the All-Time Teams when it comes to the greats who had noteworthy stints for multiple teams, because it can be hard to distinguish which is the most significant, and which franchise they "belong" to. It's an area where you have to exercise some discretion, though. I mean, by notoriety, accomplishments, and skill, you could say Michael Jordan is the best player to ever play for the Wizards, and likewise, Hakeem Olajuwon is the best player to ever play for the Raptors. Those stints were footnotes in their careers when they were past their prime however, so in those circumstances, it'd be overkill to add them to those teams.

MJ isnt in Wizards rosters, but there are legends like Shaq, KAJ, Wilt...

Exactly. And in those cases, it's appropriate.

I'm announcing this before I upload for 2K19.

Last year, I tried to take a community request for someone for 2K18. I made a video featuring the 07-08 Celtics and posted it on here, it immediately got 2 dislikes (like within minutes of posting it) All of my other videos hardly ever get dislikes, but my feeling is that it occurred because I critiqued 2K18 so hard for its defense and other gameplay issues, and it pissed a couple people off on here that I uploaded a 2K18 video.

I'll be uploading NBA 2K19 videos to showcase modded work here on the NLSC. For example, I am uploading a video right now that shows Manni's TD GARDEN court, and EGSMLLR ball. I want to still celebrate the work done here on the NLSC, as this is my home away from home.

So I ask you to please respect my decision to do this, and give my channel respect. I upload high quality videos and I take requests from people a lot, so all I ask is that you treat me and my channel fair.

It probably sounds ridiculous that I'm stating this, but it's really frustrating when I put hours into a quality video (either showcasing somebody's work, or taking a community request) for it to get dislikes for no reason. If you actually think the video is shit, by all means dislike it.

Thank you!

Celtics vs 76ers using the TD Garden floor created by Manni Live (Huge improvement) and EGS MLLR realistic NBA ball.

Just 2 highlights...

And James Harden jumping up for his KODAK MOMENT:

However two things:
In first video look at the contest recovery - and tell me something about Live's animation being robotic. 2K is not perfect in that regard too.
In second holy shit Harden clipped through me hard.

[Dee4Three]

Clipping is still really bad in the game, I see no difference from 2K18. After Tatums dunk in my video, you can see the ball bounce through the opposing player. Not in the clip, is a drop step I did where my entire body went through my opponent (he had great position, and I literally went through him).

If you go into replays and up close, you will see that the clipping is terrible. This is something they claim to address every year, but it never actually happens.

And yeah, robotic animations have increased in 2K. Especially the last two years, but more this year. Up fakes at certain times look incredibly awkward, passing animations (which are now heavy animation wise) look out of place and robotic at times, even a regular drive into a pull up (like Jaylen Brown in my video) has strange hitches in it that make it look unnatural. Changing directions itself looks odd.

I used to be so impressed by the overall smoothness of the 2K game animations (2K17 and prior, probably to 2K11 or 2K12). But I'm not impressed anymore, they have gone downhill.

[sticky-fingers]

Clipping is even worse this year. You post a video with player floating over the floor, but sometimes they sink into the floor. And outside the court, clipping is all nonsense.

unrelated to that, regarding gameplay, i begin to really appreciate games against CPU, no major flaw.

just got my hands on the game and messed around a bit. the gameplay feels on point with a very sim-like flow and rhythm. played around with mj and he's lots of fun this year. excuse the resolution and lack of a crowd - still trying to get my settings right.

Might come off as a debbie downer lately, so before I state my disagreements, ill give the game some props in one area. It is extremely HD, the close-ups at the foul ine are sometimes out of this world (Especially with the current teams and the great cyberfaces). Like the Tatum screen on my Celtics video, thats unreal.

However, I can't disagree more in regards to "sim experience" against the CPU. I am experiencing none of that, and I am playing on HOF. I've also played on pro (initial bootup) and it was the same thing.


First video



First highlight is the one of the most common things that happen with the CPU. Most of the time, they dribble longer than Roberson does here. They will walk into the paint (Or drive, but no hard drives really exist in this game, so we will call it jog) and they will stand there underneath the hoop and just dribble, and dribble, and most of the time they actually end up going up for a shot after standing there for awhile, whether its on one or two guys. Otherwise, they will dish it off, and apparently when the CPU is just standing there dribbling under the hoop, they are immune to a 3 second call, because I've seen them dribbling for up to 5-6 seconds before making a decision. On that particular possession, I'm jumping like crazy with both players just to see if I could get him to react, because in the last couple test games i've played, this has been happening quite a bit.

Second highlight,is a common shot the CPU will take, and this happens even more in 2K19 than in 2K18. Players like to take off with crazy shots 14-17 feet away, half the time awkward one handers that real life NBA players wouldn't be taking from that range. Another frustrating thing about it: They will do this (Sometimes on 2 guys) and animation will look unnatural and the ball will fly up towards the hoop, and the game will force you to make contact and it will send them to the line. These shots are ridiculous.

Second Video



First highlight is a major problem with this years game. Unrealistic speed/movement, and it's happening in the half court or on the fastbreak. Roberson, who should be moving quick up the center of the floor, is slowly walking down the middle of the floor on the FASTbreak, just trudging along. He finally ends up passing it to Schroeder, who takes off from further out than an NBA player would for a layup, and flicks a shot up towards the rim. This is what a lot of fastbreaks look like when you are facing the CPU.

Second highlight is just an example of having no control, and animations just happening out of nowhere in this game. I blow by my guy with the crossover and go to pull up, and Carter does this one handed/wild flick towards the rim, even if I had momentum going forward, I should have been able to pull up (Which is what I tried to do) for a normal shot, and if they are going to force me to do anything at that point, it should be a drive to the rim, not a wild flick from further out than most any player would do it.

I am not experiencing good sim basketball at all in 2K19. The game is nagged by so many issues, including the way the CPU plays. Players on the CPU will also just "run the play" at times, where in the halfcourt offense a capable shooter is wide open, and he will just stand there for like 5-7 seconds, and decide at that time whether he will shoot or pass (And a lot of times he passes, even though he is wide open). The backboard mechanics are also killing me in this game, as most every shot that goes off the backboard banks in the exact same spot, and is either hard off the glass (front of the rim, or no rim), or it swishes in. You or the CPU will be right under the basket, hardly contested at all (or not contested) and the ball will go up soft like a beach ball, and ricochet hard off the glass and off the front of the rim. This game also suffers from "rocket" animations, whether it be that shot in the fourth highlight by Carter, or crazy fast catches, passes and jumps. Some of the shots that go up are incredibly wild. "Rocket layups" happen often in this game, and way further from the hoop than they should.

So aside from the skating, I have a ton of gameplay gripes with this game. 3 body steals happened back to back to back last game. None of them were real, the ball just kept falling to the floor.

This game causes way more frustration than joy. But, the feedback has to be passed on, so I'm going to continue experimenting with it.


HOWEVER, diamenz: Nice Jordan highlights, that drive and adjustment was sweet.

[diamenz]

sorry to hear that you frustrated, dee. maybe some tendency edits could get rid of some of the things you're seeing. i haven't logged more than a few hours so far, so when the honeymoon period is over i probably won't be as happy with it as i am now, lol. it's just a video game though, gotta just take it for what it is.

Thanks. And yeah, I've been messing with sliders but nothing seems to be working.

In regards to your last comment, we spend money on these products, and have time invested in them. The last thing I want anybody to do is take it for what it is if it causes more frustration than joy. I can appreciate your stance, and hope that you have a great experience with it fresh out of the box (or download), but for anybody who is frustrated by the gameplay, please speak up.
