“Death by 1000 paper cuts” sounds about right for your play style. Gotta be so frustrating not being able to stop you, or you countering the counters lmao

[@knection1986]

2k would get my money every year if they just make their pc port the same as xbox and ps5

[@Mari-rd6yt]

We don’t wanna play with y’all cheating ass

[@knection1986]

​@Mari-rd6yt i don't play online my guy

[@Zepravity]

right? i just wanna play eras man

[@TheRobertEastProject]

Same I really want next Gen on Pc I don't even care bout playing online I hate the last Gen port with a passion.

[@sendAJtospace]

The game should be a live service instead of this archaic yearly release model. But y’know, profit, since the players don’t know better than to buy the same game every year.

[@HM2FLY]

A lot of ppl don’t even attempt to play straight up defense it’s disgusting how they literally sit there with the center I like to spam em with screens cause if they don’t switch, it’s an open jumper damn near every time the computer sucks at dealing with screens 😂 unles you go into settings and adjust the defense settings for screens which most ppl don’t do and even then, if you ain’t manually guarding the screen it’s gonna be a long night for u

[@ABJ93]

I don't have a problem with ppl playing off ball. However they feel they have the best chance to win

[@Awkward_Incel]

​@ABJ93 it's just paramount to have a big that can shoot. Ima keep spamming pick and pops and force you to play defense

[@HM2FLY]

@@Awkward_Incel true, if you got a center who just rebounds and defends and has no jumper , it’s gonna be tough against an off baller . Now someone like Shaq, you can just throw it deep in the post against an off baller and cook. I dd this against a guy who ofbslled with Rudy Gobert, dropped an easy 30 with Shaq dunked on him all game

[@Awkward_Incel]

@hmgaming5220 pure offballing is always crazy to me. The funniest ones be where they just click off whoever you pass it to even if you pass to the center. Like they are absolutely scared to play any defense. I use the warriors with kd( yeah I'm a cheeser ik) but you literally can't play offball against them. There's so many ways to cook the computer

[@masternas45]

I think it’s crazy to play off ball. Like you must WANT to lose. 😂

[@yourebreakingmyballs4787]

Unless they got a non shooter in the corner. Then I'm gonna off ball a little bit

[@ObamaTheHedgehog]

People conflate playing off ball with playing all 5 of your players to double team and rim protect when necessary rather than mindlessly playing man on man all game long

I have no problem beating off-ballers. But it is definitely less fun adjusting my play style to beat off-ballers. I have no reason to sweat and get to greatest of all time anymore - I just want to have a fun head-to-head match. These dudes just kill the vibe

[@Funky_Astroman]

Said it best brother. Just ruin the game for everybody

[@koopakid03]

The fact that 2k gets so much slack only because ppl don't take the time to learn the features lol

[@kjellxd1]

To an extend. People rightfully talk shit about the predatory way my career is set up, let’s be honest.

[@koopakid03]

@@kjellxd1 well that's a whole different pandoras box you're trying to open lol but to stay on topic most of the things ppl don't like truly already be in game. So many things 2k has to "introduce" as new cuz so many genuinely don't take time to new features making "new" really just recycled

[@AlexSt-1]

6:29 pleaaaaaase spread the word that they need to stop worrying about off ball and play basketball. That’s if they truly know basketball. Dude sigh…you have to use everybody on defense ugh!! that’s the secret stupids!!! And there’s a special reason why you need to do so!! Look at your tv “…..”😂 Great video Dom2k.

[@Slimeister94]

I’ve been doing this for years so playing against off ball D was never an issue

[@j_quan2594]

Off balling works when ur actually paying attention and know who to control. I think its pussy so i never played that way back when I played 2k (unless i was lagging bad or if they were doing it and they were pissing me off)

[@BGuzmanC]

NGL I would love a tutorial on how to play better defense. I’m often a come on D

[@ericcod1productions]

Dom2k can’t you also do the katana aka hold x pass to someone and you yourself control the cut by directing that player and having control of the cutting player 😊

[@adr2635]

What freelance do you run?

[@richierich8905]

What defensive settings do you need to stop back door since the AI won’t even attempt to stick a hand out and let the ball go right by them over them!?? I’m an on ball player and lost a game from a bum who abused that bs! Even when off balling the passing lane waiting for it it’s hard to time! Game starting to be bad with how you don’t need skill! I hit 14 3s to his 4 and he won because of the broken cut system allowing it!

[@kahleel7304]

Nothing you can do bro lol it sucks but playing play now online & Myteam is not a viable option due to how broken the cutting system is.

[@Noah-so4wn]

“Stop offballing” Then stop sending back door cuts 😂

[@MONSTARks]

its the off ballers who know how to play defense and run a zone that be getting me mad

[@mkg1425]

How were you able to play Celtics vs Knicks? They are in different tiers.

[@youngbricks3844]

Tiers don't matter...u can be the bulls and still get matched up against a person who has Lakers

[@hubrinski]

The way the general Play Now player acts has always given me the itch. It's as if they don't even want to play; they would think off-balling consists only in picking one player and letting AI stop the opponent, rather than reacting and anticipating to what will happen on the court. Almost every player just look as if playing itself was a toll. They don't seem to find the act of basketball strategy as engaging and enjoyable. They always have the same behavioural patterns; they touch their balls endlessly, they love to foul on transitions and their defense consists in trying to always bump you. They literally trick themselves into thinking they are taking the useful shortcuts, whilst repeating the same bored, boring and predictable antics of everyone else. Regardless of the outcome, I can't understand how you'd find that a pleasure to go on with. It's also a pattern that you can see in most of today's online videogaming. Everybody occupying themselves with shortcuts rather than trying to find something enjoyable and personal to show off. Very rarely you'd find opponents that actually make a game genuinely enjoyable on a strategic level.

[@1edixo]

that’s why i prefer single player games with advanced tech or fighting games bc majority of the player base actual likes to get better at the game instead of just give shortcuts or methods that only work in certain situations

[@AlexSt-1]

😱 thaaaaaank youuuuu!!!! I’m confused about these people mentality because off ball is real basketball periooooood!! There kids!!!! They want us to play on them so they can blow past us. Admit it!!! And when they say man up they can’t play defense themselves!! It’s real basketball! In real life if a dude runs passed your teammate, your just gonna let that guy score? 😂 I’m amazed by this because they have been brainwashed to think that somebody is supposed to play the entire play in front of them while they call screens to shoot like we are not playing against the “cpu” right there. Why not tell them to go back and forth to center whoever and back in front of them? No they go into a rant because we’re not doing what they want us to do and then the name calling comes into play. And these dudes don’t even call plays. They just bring the ball in and dribble to death and either shoot or drive. Apparently this so called best player in the world I heard about also calls plays and picks so what the entire fluck are these dudes thinking online doing? And it be these damn streamers brainwashing them with this stupid thinking of defense! I don’t understand why they just don’t stay in the playground or city if they want to play playground basketball. Uggghhh!🤦🏾‍♂️

Off balling is for clowns

[@AlexSt-1]

Listen, it’s hard even to play defense as a professional basketball player. So whoooooo the fluck has some sort of magical defense training to have you defend somebody in front of them every time? Please stop and just play basketball. You are psyching yourself out of the game when you see different defenses. You need to just play if you”you know basketball”.

[@PaulyJayNBC]

Off balling shouldn’t even be a thing. It’s a joke it is even possible

[@Jayevonte]

Yes it should be

[@CoachLou17]

🤮 This type of backdoor spamming is bad for the game. Off balling is lame, but you also can’t play on ball online 100% of the time. The CPU AI is too dumb and it’s too easy to shoot. Some of these backdoor cuts weren’t even open…and the defender was 6-8 feet off the cutter before the cut. Sorry, but that’s not “smart basketball” just an overpowered game mechanic that is far too easy to abuse. Off balling is lame and cheesy…but this may be worse. Just makes for a garbage game imo.

[@kahleel7304]

I want people to understand that you can’t take this 2k seriously in play now online or Myteam. The cutting spam is fucking ridiculous and 8/10 you can’t stop it. Very disappointed in 2k’s lack of awareness this is one of the worst 2k’s (gameplay wise) that i’ve ever played. Consistently raising my blood pressure lol.

[@victorraybillup]

They patched the Y cut and boosted off ball defense lol that’s why 2k is trash

[@Kxng_Brunoxxvii]

There is nothing wrong with off ball defense if you don’t have a bag to beat the cpu you shouldn’t be playing a $70 basketball video game it’s not hard to beat 🤷🏾‍♂️ the only people that get upset at off all defense are iso players. It’s not cheating otherwise the game wouldn’t let us do it. If you can’t score without somebody guarding you that’s a YOU problem

[@jayfashi3404]

Bro it’s easy not easy to cook the ai specially with stamina

[@Kxng_Brunoxxvii]

@@jayfashi3404 I think you have a typo but again if you cannot cook the AI that says more about you than the person off balling it is not difficult at all to score with the AI guarding you the only people having a problem are iso heavy players trying to curry slide all day 🤷🏾‍♂️ learn plays, get a bag, get better dribble moves etc etc make the off baller work you just doing an iso makes it easy for him it’s not hard to beat at all

[@Kxng_Brunoxxvii]

@@jayfashi3404 also stamina is not a good excuse

[@706Kel]

​@@Kxng_Brunoxxviiiso the ai whole game and see what happens

[@Kxng_Brunoxxvii]

@@706Kel a-again that’s my point…….. i think you read what I said incorrectly. I don’t iso strictly because of that. I mean I’ll iso if I know I can do it sometimes but I don’t iso all game I know how to pass the ball when I need to so my point is that iso players are the main ones complaining about off ball defense and another point is that if you don’t know how to beat AI defense that is on YOU not the off baller since there is no rule in the game that says “thou shall not offball” lol otherwise it won’t let you do it and it would be considered cheating and they’d ban your or something like that. However it’s not cheating you just don’t like the way you’re being guarded and the thing is I didn’t think I was suppose to make my opponent comfortable I thought I was suppose to win by any reasonable means just because my opponent doesn’t agree with my methods doesn’t mean I’m going to adjust to make them feel better FIGURE IT OUT and win you can have excuses or results not both 🤷🏾‍♂️ now if this was about zen remotes that I agree with and completely understand because that’s an unfair advantage however offballing isn’t an unfair advantage since you have the same access to it as I do the problem comes where people don’t know how to beat it when it’s fairly easy depending on what team you’re using and how they’re off balling for example if I have the bucks and you have let’s say Portland trailblazers right if I’m off balling chances are you can’t beat it only because of the team you have now say you had like 17’ warriors you’ll have a better chance because you have nothing but great shooters and stars on the whole team. I’m not saying iso will beat the ai defense that’s exactly how offballers win what I’m saying is that you make the offballer work on defense and you’ll have a better chance it’s not hard to beat at all if you know what you’re doing 🤷🏾‍♂️

Mane I ain’t gon lie you not making me not play off ball 😭🤷🏾‍♂️I’m not finna sit thea and focus on defense I be on my phone
