The gameplay has changed defensively and i wont accept anymore lies that it hasnt

[gknjr007]

Driveby are much more frequent and paint defense is almost none existent. What ever it is...its not like day 1. I dont think im as pissed that things have changed, i think im more pissed that 2k denies it. TELL THE FREAKING TRUTH!!

To those that say the game has been out for a while and naturally people will find out how to run better offense. To that i say that i have also impoved defensively and the offense has a clear advantage. I contest shots with a high % of contest in the paint and it doesnt matter. Whats the point of getting a 70% (in red letters) contest, when the ball swishes everytime. So unrewarding. Its start to almost feel like 2k21 again!

Yeah i noticed every game I played today felt "easier" to score in paint. I even had a weird "blow by" animation I haven't seen since like 2k18. I know for sure the nerfed verticals and buffed shooting fouls. I went to contest a shot on the perimeter and my PGs toes wouldn't come off the ground. So I started hopping around and he literally had no vertical. Another good day 1 game nerfed for the cry babies

Placebo...you're just getting better at the game.

i thought the same Few days ago and created a Thread about it. it is mich easier for me to freely move around on offense and drive to the rim. especially layup attempts with low Contests are going in much more often and in General you get to the paint much easier.

on the other i have a much harder time keeping opponents in Front of me.

Just more of a sign that something has been nerfed defensively. I have a personal problem with most ppl using real play % on layups. Defense doenst matter much on those, unless its flat out blocked, especially if its a decent player. I see a high contest percentage, but it doesnt matter...especially when compared to day 1

What game mode are you referring to?

Because 5 v 5 real team the defense is not easier. I have yet to shoot over 50 percent in a game.

I think we’re getting better at the game. And this is where sliders come into play.

Specifically 5v5 with real team, going against human opponents. Test this for you self...play good defense in the post, well enough to get a great contest via 2ks contest %, and you will find those shots go in consistently. Compare that to the first few day of 2k, and those were misses consistently. Now again, if you are going to change gameplay, dont lie to us and tell us you havent. This has nothing to do with guys getting better. Guys can get better at dribbles. Guys can get better at taking better shots. Guys can get better at making those better shots they are taking. But a 70 and up contest percentage in the paint should result in the same thing it resulted in day 1 of the game and it does not. Or else dont tell us you didnt change anything. Its triggering. 2k22 came in with talking about rewarding players that play well and the right way. That has gone by the wayside in the last week and i fear they arent going back.
