The rhythm shooting is only usable on half your shots bruh. You can’t aim shoot dribble pull-ups because it activates hop and step back shots. There’s no steamers shooting rhythm. Number 1 player in the world just shoots midi fade with x.

I see you quoted me on the badge elevator, glo on talking about it, regardless if we rarely disagree on some topics you still one of my favorite content creators
It’s crazy how I have to make a 60 ovr to get games in theater but skill based should be in the ranked proving grounds not theater I want to use my guard but can’t cause it’s a red plate
Anybody on here have a center with a 96-99 dboard having issues getting a rebound after you stop the opposing center from paint mashing. they react so much faster or am i just a shitter 😂
They do react much faster it's ggs if they force a bad lay up and they are deep in the paint you ain't getting a board and you will most likely get blocked
All you need is 7+ height, 250+ pounds, 95 strength, 88 interior, and pure strength takeover to stop post scorers. If you’re not willing to dedicate your build to stop that. You’re the problem. I stand with Post Scorers!
It is, cause your hands can be up and it's like you not even there with high interior smh and even small guards make ridiculous contested lay up as if you not there lol!!! Literally in front of Cs. Paint patroller is broke. What's the point of high strength and high vert if you barely get any contest animations in the paint when people force a shot in the paint.
@@tadeokrzos2550No for real, I can’t even get quality blocks or contests the animations i get are terrible and its lack my build lacks defense (it doesn’t)
@@jakimmixon1461 ridiculous lay ups go in but you miss open ones. An example would be when a big saga off and you got a 96 shot close with post hook specialist on legend and you take a 5 foot and you miss as if you took a 30 footer smh. 2k make it make sense you want it to be realistic y is a 3 easier to green than a post hook from 10 feet or less smh. Don't jokic or embiid be making these easily when no one is guarding them, shit they still be making contested post hooks even when someone is in front of them specially if it is a miss match smh!!
It is not only perimeter, as a big man with 90 interior it’s annoying when 6’2 guards come in the paint and 2k constantly ignore good defense and badges!
Considering putting your hands if gives you a worse contest than if you just run and the basketball godz event was completely broken in multiple ways I’m gonna go ahead and say the game is bad rn.
As a casual player, i like SBMM. If im off of work and just want to play a casual game, i dont want to go into theater as a silver status and play up against of comp red tier sweats who do nothing but sit on their a$ all day playing 2K. I’d rather play against people my own skill level.
I work 10 hour days fam, and I’m a red plate player. It’s about winning when you do have time to play. If you won when you’d play after work you’d be gold/red plated as well.
@@PauseItMFNot necessarily. sbmm isn't exactly one to one. It's essentially a bracket around where 2k thinks you are and based on that they put you in a game with ppl they think are around your skill. If you're getting clones as you say, you're either top/bottom 1% , or highly unoriginal
if they fix the contest system then they'll ultimately have to revert shooting especially since a lot of shots the community takes are open and not wide open
😭 can’t even say nun. cause it’s realistic af. When folks do that running at me thing when i shoot, scare the hell out of me thinking i bout to roll my shii
6’4 below def get better animations off rip and later in the rep grind 😂 idk what that guy was talking about but I also do like my 6’6 but loving my 6’4 waaaay more ( damn near same build )
Noo I’ve been doing this for the last few days and it’s been working and of course here comes a video. Every time I’ve ran at a player they miss once I decide to jump or hands up they make it. Smh
I hate when you play hands up defense in the paint and the person pump takes and my character jumps without me touching anything giving them free close shots.
It has already been tested 2K purposely made perimeter defense have a weaker impact this year due to the changes regarding shooting. So pretty much they made shooting difficult to combat zins and create a skill gap cuz so many comp players cried for it. So now the shocking text had to also be created within the game to not have that much of effect on shooters. Shooting is already hard enough with your wide open Just imagine if they left shot contest same as 2k24. For once in a very long time defense would actually be the meta over office No one's ready for that.
Ps5 players hop on ps4 version, gameplay didn’t really change from the past years and I feel like at this point its a better thing than playing this beta ps5 version. + vc farming is way easier
curry can’t stop shaq. pulling the chair rarely ever happens in real life. i think guards and bigs are more even. especially since layup and interior defense is broken. 🤷🏽♂️
Well pulling the chair does happen in real life… what doesn’t happen because of pulling the chair is that big men don’t go back to the basket like Charles Barkley used to because of 5 seconds back to the basket. It is very realistic to pull the chair man. No Steph won’t stop Shaq but he could pull the chair if Shaq were dumb enough to lean on him like these people do with post scorers.
Searching for a game in the Theatre is broken in general right now, Im a casual player 90 over on rookie 2 rep and it takes 30 minutes for me to solo queue the 3v3 theatre mode and Im only finding 1 teammate, and if I have a full squad it takes the same amount of time to find an opponent. They need to take SBMM out of this game... it wasn't necessary to begin with and should only be applied to a mode such as Proving Grounds where rank is something you are grinding for. Keep the PARK as it was for the past 10 years of 2k
Ohh yeah i thought it was only me that its best to just run at people without holding l2, i literally just follow people with turbo and my players grabs them way better than trying to actually contest with my hands up
My 6"6 skilled stretch has no problem defending post scorers..a lot of ppl just dont know how to guard them..one called my build the post scorer stopper earlier 😂...only post scorer that has beaten me in proving grounds was a 99 close and 99 post and he barely did
In real life if you run at somebody and still don't Put your hands up but I they run close to the body, I've seen people miss shots like that too, How about all y'all go do the same thing, Shoot a jump shot until somebody run close to your body, where they almost touch you, But you won't hit the shot consistently like you think you would
i ain’t mad at 2k shooting is hard this year but i got a 70% win percentage after not playing a single game last yr . i shoot 30% from 3 but i still hit fine jus got time the shot well but i usta be a 60% shooter in 23 and all the other 2ks before so this yr def harder
Anyone been able to stop post scorers? That’s the only people I can’t guard in 2k. Have a 6”10 with 91 strength and am wondering if going to 95 would fix it
Yall complain too much I’m ngl. Besides the VC and hands up defense the game is pretty solid. I was able to max majority of my badges out and I’ve only played 8 my career games. The rest is rec
