If there were such considerations, I reckon 1v1’s would attract more attention and become more enjoyable for many different types of players. Plus, the fact that there’s only one version of the 1v1 courts in Ante-Up is another decision that I can’t understand. Hey, are you smaller than 7’3 and not a post scorer? Then forget the 1v1 courts! The 1v1 courts are dominated by 7’3 post scorers, and though I totally understand that there are ways for smaller skilful players to beat them, a majority of casual players are completely exempt from enjoying a quick 1v1 session. My response: How about I don’t have to put VC on the line every time I want to play a casual game of basketball? 1v1 Courts Many players suggest Ante-up as a place to play if you struggle to find games as a high ranked player. I’m not kidding when I say I always have my phone on me when playing on the park so I can kill time while waiting for a game. Lower ranked players constantly dodge games which forces higher ranked players to literally run around the park to chase games, only then leading to the inevitable decision to switch lobbies. This decision is extremely irritating as it leads to high ranked players waiting on servers to play a game for more than 10-15 minutes. Player rank DISPLAYED IN ParkĪnother unbearable decision in NBA 2K19 made on park servers that drives anyone ranked Elite insane. There are two ways to fix this, either remove the option to play off-ball completely on game modes such as triple-threat, or have AI’s defending skills more easily exposable in ways other than pick and rolls so players actually have a desire to play on-ball defense. ![]() But if you’re not, you will mainly have to spam pick and rolls, which is mind numbingly boring. If you’re a good player, particularly in the post, there are of course many ways to deal with off-ball defenders. There is almost no incentive of playing on-ball defense for a casual/average player as AI does a much better job. Off-ball defending is one of the most irritating things to come up against when playing any mode of MyTeam. If you play MyTeam, you know exactly where I’m going with this. 2K must re-adjust their approach to builds and which archetypes should exist for each position. If there is a genuine desire to make the game more balanced, then the sharpshooting archetype should only be allowed as a secondary for a 7ft PF. This is why Kevin Durant is a special player, he is a rare talent, yet it’s so effortless to make a build at his height that can shoot with 10/10 accuracy on 2K19. This point goes along with my arguments about pure lockdowns, some archetypes are game-breaking and genuinely shouldn’t exist! You can’t be a pure playmaker as a 7’3 center currently, so why is there a 7ft pure stretch 4 option in the game? Is there any point of being a small sharpshooting guard when you can just shoot over people as a 7 footer? Currently, apart from Kevin Durant and maybe Lauri Markkanen, there are no shooters that are 7 foot with laser accuracy shooting from deep range in the NBA. Their roles being diminished on NBA 2K19 makes little to no sense (and more unbearable). The Point Guard position is regarded as one of the toughest and most important position on a basketball court. Point Guards are supposed to be talented ball handlers, but now serve no purpose as they are so easily ripped by lockdowns. Lockdowns are so over-powered that guards are being pushed away from the game, as a majority of meta/competitive line-ups now feature a pure lockdown as the smallest player serving up in a guard role. But the fact that they are able to stretch the floor by shooting mids/three’s and also given the ability to finish at the rim with high efficiency is where the problems arise. I totally understand a pure lockdown build whose purpose is to play intense, a build that is separate in the quality of defense it plays in comparison to other builds. I can’t be the only person who thinks pure lockdowns are ridiculously over-powered. Why was this even included in a basketball game in the first place? If it is to be included, then should it not have consequences? PURE Lockdowns This is just the tip of the iceberg to why NBA 2K19 is unbearable. If there is, then I genuinely am yet to see it. In an attempt to “fix” this issue, 2K have actually made it worse as there are now no fouls under any circumstances called when a player shoves in a park game. What’s strange is that the issue was initially not that big of a deal, as fouls were not always, but often called which gave up possession to the opposing team. NBA 2K19 has been out for 6 months and it’s mind boggling that the devs have not addressed an issue that is literally game-breaking. No fouls being called for shoving is destroying competitive play and is essentially making park unplayable.
