By Smokey Go To PostIf I want to just use the Rockets in PNO, I should be able to. They switched it to the current format because of the obnoxious use of 24/7 Warrior use in they mode.
You can just use the Rockets, they removed the restrictions a few months ago so that you can just keep playing within the same tier. You don't have to move up if you don't want to and can just play with the same team. But, like you said it will be a never ending stream of Warriors users you'll be playing.
It wont lead to a lot of variety, most people are going to use the Clippers or Rockets, the only good thing is that they don't have such broken badges among the players. What made the Warriors such a pain in the ass is the 2 gold and 1 HOF limitless range badges, you make one defensive mistake and any idiot can shoot from 40 feet away. Kawhi doesn't have that badge, PG does but he doesn't have great dribble package so it's harder to spam. Harden has it, but just double him with whoever is guarding Russ......
Won't be a lot of variety, but the best teams are flawed and can be beaten easier. People will try to use the Lakers but you have to know how to use big men to really get the best out of AD, his animations are garbage and slow.

Here's two videos of the contrasting styles I use based on how my opponent plays, and I default to playing cheesie when it's Warriors user on the other end....he did some left to right cheese on his first play which is why I played that way with KAT.
KAT had 2 fouls in the first 30 seconds of the game, this is when he's back in. The move at 2:08 is unguardable and you can chain more moves out of it..
Using KAT extra cheesie
It's hard for me to pick who I like more between Jokic and KAT, but I will add that you can use KAT a lot like the Joker but you can't blackout and score with Jokic like you can with KAT. There's no center in the game that I haven't had 30+ on, you can see how helpless Wilt was there and I think he has HOF rim protector. I've had 40+ against AD, Hakeem, Shaq, Gobert, Embiid etc with him. If they have a gold or hof defensive stopper it just doesn't matter.

Got my streaming setup back and running today. Streamed some 2k for about a hour. Went 3-0. Can see the video here, has all 3 matches. Boi there's some (attempted) cheese in there including a guy running opal shaq at 4 and bol at 5. Also a squad that was all SF Opals playing 1-3. Fun times. All caught a L

I don't think I'm getting 2k20, definitely not at launch if I do.
I really got the last one to do a league, but we didn't have enough folk
You falling for that BS writeup? They say the same thing every year. I like how they talking about the gather system is new when you could branch Euro's into floaters in 2k19.
They always talking about new footplanting and it's still NHL slip and slide on the court

Demo dropped for 2020 today:
Of note, character builder is more customizable, progression is supposedly much faster, there is a tester you can play with before committing to a build (is even part of the demo, I think!), you can reassign badges as you get upgrades, and levels 95-99 are based on level of pay instead of just grinding/paying money.
also, the zion effect is huge. lmao go Pels!

The builder is overwhelming. They've capped your attribute points at certain levels. You get 5 slots and you can take each build into a game and test it out. Can adjust the oVR all the way up 99, assign and remove badges at will. There are no archetypes any more. Being able to test out builds is a huge QOL upgrade.
Time to come byke from my 2 year Pro AM retirement. RIP Myteam.

By s y ngmi Go To PostHeard there's 5v5 in the demo with no annoying popups.on 2ku? someone lied to you, all I'm seeing is klay thompson an annoying pop ups
By rvy Go To Poston 2ku someone lied to you, all I'm seeing is klay thompson an annoying pop upsNah, just checked, there's a 5v5 scrimmage.
By s y ngmi Go To PostNah, just checked, there's a 5v5 scrimmage.where?
By rvy Go To Postwhere?Raps vs warriors
I didn't see that screen at all, but maybe you have to finish the myplayer game, first? All I saw was myplayer and 2ku.
wat? it's the first thing i did. Launched game, started shooting with Klay, I hit the ps4 touch pad, selected scrimmage. Never touched my player. Im playing while its installing.
By s y ngmi Go To Postwat? it's the first thing i did. Launched game, started shooting with Klay, I hit the ps4 touch pad, selected scrimmage. Never touched my player. Im playing while its installing.oh
ffs
yeah I found it
seems like spacing is really improved, and height differential actually comes into play on shots and block attempts.
and looks like mike wang actually wasnt lying about the new movement system

It's ok, casual
Tried it last night and I'm not getting this at launch, they really didn't do anything special with the archetypes and just restructured how you select your limited player. The Small Forward position right now is currently pointless to build, if you want to make a two way player that can defend then he can't shoot, there's no way to make a Draymond type of player despite the player comparison saying Draymond. You can't make any really unique players and the way things are grouped together is just stupid, why are ball handling and post moves in the same bracket?
I'd need to see more NBA teams to see if it's worth it, cause I was underwhelmed.

By Smokey Go To PostCheeseheads ruined everything with builds in 2k19
2k ruined it with the archetypes & HOF badges, Pro Am and Park were more balanced in 2k16 when it was just inside/outside + gold badges.
I don't know what badge I picked last night but there was a defensive one that showed the percentages everyone on the opposing team would shoot from what distance & how closely guarded they were.....in Pro Am that will be a joke
I said this in our group, but the way the skills are bunched together is going to turn Sharps and Stretches into some straight up bullshit. They both get 90+ post fade, combine that with the post fade, range extender and steady shooter badges which stack and you have a player that can make 25-28 foot threes and score in the post. They are now 3 level scorers cause they even get 80+ for close shots, you don't need a high ball control to get the ball in the post and spam post fades. I say by week 2 or 3 there will be huge scoring games from sharps and stretches, especially the SG sharp because so few people will have the defensive post moves badge to counter it.
By s y ngmi Go To Post
flight b on one
Will just mean everyone has Magic, Penny or Oscar as their PG, or whatever huge SG has PG as a secondary position. Or someone will find out how to break it.
I like the idea of upgradable cards though. Won't be coning back this season, the overt gambling presentation is trash and having diamonds so early is ridiculous. If they added in some card level restrictions (eg 2 amethyst limit, or all gold lineups) like they had in previous MyTeams I'd think about it.
Yep, cheesers will just evolve. There will be some bullshit build available here that someone will post on youtube and everyone will have it. Glass cleaners greening threes and being unable to contest a Stretch's three because you were too short last year was some major bullshit. From a build perspective, there's not that much difference between 19 and 20, they've just obscured it poorly with a pie chart. Badges will make more of a difference but as you say there will be a meta for scoring builds within days that will make them nearly unguardable.

Last two games I've spent too many hours getting defensive players to low 90s OVR and it's not worth it. I can shut down 90% of players but as soon as you play a good cheeser squad then it's game over.
The stupid power creep in MyTeam is always going to deter me as well, everyone has god squads by December and the only difference in teams is the what your pink diamonds look like and whose animations they have.

By Smokey Go To PostI've taken 2 years off from pro am so I'm ok with jumping back in. Maybe.
Sounds like cold feet, there's 3 roster spots open right now on Phees team with me, Zep and Sizzle not getting it.

I already know what the teams will be, think more people will have players with "clamps" badge rather than going all out and having perimeter locks like 2k19. Most teams are going to be sharp playmaker backcourts and will definitely have a stretch at the 4 and a defender/rebounder/dunker at the 5 to set picks. Shooting is still so overpowered, you can get a glimpse of it in the demo when you use the defensive anchor badge or what it's called that shows shooting percentages when guarded. You have to be in their shirts to get Klay or Curry to drop under 50% , being "close" on defense wont cut it and the Sharps shoot even better than them.

Phee predicted you'd do that.
There's Phee, Mak, Grbac, you and the 5th would be someone named PackMan who has like 1800 pro am games. Only way I get it now is if everyone says it's better for real or if there's a 30 team league.
