    What happened to the realistic shot contests?

    One of the best parts about this game at launch was the smoothness of shot contesting - you weren’t penalised for a defender behind you, or putting their hand up late in the release.

    Now...it’s back to the same old way where a defender near you registers a strong contest. I don’t understand how a game can change this much in a patch as it feels just more like 2k18 without the blow byes.

    The game was not ready for it with the fundamental flaws in gameplay mechanics

        It’s a shame because a lot of the work of superstars is getting that sliver of space and firing - and without that concept it’s hard to replicate that feeling. Such a shame I do think this game was much better before being patched.

            I feel like the game was moving forward and getting more realistic with how it was before the patches, and now has taken a bit of a step back in terms of realism imo. The online guys ruined it though with all the stretch big bs. As far as offline goes though, you can still replicate it with the sliders.

              I agree with OP. They added these more effective contests to combat sharps, when what they should have been done is:
              1. remove greens being 100 percent makes (Which they won't due bcuz kids)
              or
              2. Remove 84 attribute chance to green 100% of shots

              Now what we have is typical 2k, No faceup post/midrange game, but also a pure sharp Green three game as soon as you get a sliver of space from deep.
              What 2k has essentially done is made a more polarized caricature of basketball. The problem wasn't shot contests (excluding them being slow).
              The problem was shot make percentages, open and contested.


              Funny thing is the shot contest patch hasnt solved the problem. All people do is throw full court outlet passes to 3 point cherrypicking shooters in the corner so they can green threes. So teams/players are still are shooting 50 threes a game sometimes and making 60 percent. Which means if youre taking 2 point layups or shots, you would have to be making about 90 percent of those shots to compete.

                To me this new motion engine just doesnt work, too much sliding warping and area of effect problems, positioning doesn't play a part in alot of situations.

                  Yh hopefully in the future we see actualy footplanting in the game. No more of the sliding and warping stuff.

                    the difference between offline and online...and this is why all created threads need an "online and Offline" on the title coz people talk in general about this game then at the end they will say they talkin about online stuff only

                        touché .......

                        so if everything is say that the game is good to you people is trash..but then i will come up with reason that is good and then you come up with yours just to say its bad..then will go back and forth again...

                        so how does this things work again???

                        is this forum supposed to say only bad things to the game that you kids still and keep on playing while complaining at the same time... and asking the same thing year in and year out but deep inside you know it wont be fix.

                        i guess im the pro one and your the anti just to balance it...

                        i dont get anything from them and so are you unless you got paid by other "Game" to talk trash???

                        so you have right?? i believe i do so.. just play along..we both got time??

                        there is 3 thread title "contested" and all most of you blame the game....so you if you online people, you go create a thread strictly yours and i wont be in it. go express your hearth desire...but things like this "open" your asking for some opinion..and ill stick to mine and can back it up and you stick with yours...

                        I dont even know why you people cannot take my opinion and expect me to accept yours...

                        so how does this work again???
