NBA 2K25 SECRET DEFENSE CHANGES AFTER PATCH 4.0!!! INTERCEPTOR NERFED AGAIN!!!

[@CKSDoubleYou]

I hate the fact that ppl can just spam steals and get a successful animation. But blocks you have to time it perfectly and if you don’t you get dinged on your grade for bad block attempt. They need to do the same for bad steal attempts and nerf steals. Nobody is Deion Sanders on the court in real life. That’s the worse part of the game, seeing defenders fly through the air and grab the ball like it’s NFL Streets.

[@boss06829]

They need to buff passing. 99 pass accuracy isn’t even that different from 82.

[@ManManGrindHard5]

@@boss06829 the higher my pass accuracy went the more my teammates missed

[@Makeouthill_17]

Facts I have high pass acc and my player still throws it directly at the defender

[@solarpoweredafricanvegansp178]

My experience with versatile visionary on legendary and 99 pass acc has been pretty good once I found out what passes I can make and what I cannot. You cannot throw long passes against defenders with high steal, if you want to be able to throw passes they can’t steal, then you need to get as close as you can but at the same time, not so close that it will ruin the play. I promise you if you do this, not even a 99 steal can steal a versatile visionary legend pass.

[@judasmurdah9971]

​@@solarpoweredafricanvegansp178 i just hate that you'll still pass directly in front of the defender instead of you know, passing around the defender like a normal human would

[@krazymanyac12]

I had a guard with 36 pass acc and dotted a corner three several times past defenders from below the rim .......

[@itsBATMAYNE]

I feel slidey on defense for some reason

[@bigmoneytv]

All Shot feedback helps me with shot selection .. lets me see what shots are open or contested .. ima a tuff shot taker/maker so I need to kno

[@mblackman1170]

They need to do something about bump steals. Our pg has 95 ball handle and he keeps getting bump steal, then he bump steals it back from the opponent. It’s just bad basketball. I’m tired of watching both teams spam bump stealing each other

[@JackTheStrippa]

Nerf bump steals and buff well timed on ball steal

[@mblackman1170]

@ agreed

[@skrewkee7307]

No strong handle for that man so he gets Bothered by the defender

my real life basketball coach told me 25 years ago "DO NOT REACH OR I WILL BREAK YOUR FUCKING HAND" so I am not reaching. 2k, real life, whatever - test me - I aint reach bruh.

[@Dateblonded]

Smart to me theres no reason to have steals if you dont get the steal you get put in a animation and thats an automatic bucket

[@Eskeletor_210]

I used to play like Rodman growing up. I was always trying to full court press and get a steal. Getting stuck in an animation on a fast break does suck

[@sloth7778]

i have a 99 stength 99 standing dunk 99 offensive rebound center with legend aerial wizard legend rise up legend rebound chaser and hof post powerhouse i literally cant dunk at all this morning went from catching every body on rise up to now no dunks i keep getting blocked and it keeps making me do a lil layup instead of yamming on centers i hate this game so much smh they need to stop messing with builds

[@War4Pharoah]

I gotta co-sign this!!! I was thinkin this w/o saying it out loud 😂😂 i be mad af when 2K decides my player is gonna throw a weak/low velocity pass, but…. My weak full court passes been getting thru since the patch & I made a few flashy pass attempts that didn’t go where I attempted to send them, but I was still getting them thru. ***Side Note: am I that only one that thinks the green window has been expanded a lil?? I been in myCourt testing my slightly early & late shots …I’m convinced the timing window is ah lil different.

[@Ok12131]

I have a lot with 99 steal legend interceptor and I couldn’t get a catch steal today. Whenever I timed a lane steal correctly I would deflect it out of bounds

[@N808Prod]

Dats wat yo aih get wat u need 99 steal for

[@TheRealMRGG85]

The maximum functionality of interceptor should be at the bronze level. Interceptor being overpowered even a little bit is game breaking

[@winterinny3030]

6’7 Lock here definitely I still get them a lot but I got a maxed wingspan. People have to understand it’s not the rating it’s the actual build. (weight height wingspan) speed too

[@mazibabySc803]

I will say with interceptor i usually can snag a nice 2-3, i really like ta get mines off the blitz but i noticed a bit this mornin when i was on i missed the 2-3 that i would normally get, literally could only snag one. Everything else felt like it would just whisp right thru my hands Really lookin forward ta see if they cappin bout that being taken out of the skill dunk. They need to add the whistle badge back for sure. No way in hell a mofo can damn near sweet chin music my ahh out the air but then i do it an they hit me wit a flagrant. And my lord high flying denyer ain worths a fuck ta give bruddah. Good content as always fam. Bless

[@DeathProof392]

I was watching people with 96 ball handle get ripped easy af

[@jean-lucparis1947]

No lie when I was using simple shot feedback, I did care less about how covered I was taking my shots. And I made more shots as well. Scored my highest scoring games with simple feedback mos def. Im for sure going back after hearing your opinion. It's just facts. I worry less about contests on simple feedback.

[@cammartin7009]

Nah I made a 6’6 wit a 91 steal and ngl im getting sum steals but I feel like you should not go any higher than 91 bc at the end of the day, your stick skill will get you the steals or you boxing someone

[@leandrewricksjr.603]

Idk. I played yesterday and me and the bros getting the Deion animations again 😂. I thought they buffed em

[@shewantssrell]

I feel like with interceptor they should have the animation get better and stickier as the levels go up (ik it does but it’s wacky) bronze- tips silver tips with some tip catches gold more catches with minimal tips HoF catches and jump animations with tips if in bad position and then legend all catch animations with little to no tips

[@Your_Average_Gamer_Fabo]

Not sure what meter you're using but give dial a try. I like arrow but started missing alot of dunks and switched to dial and it feels easier to make. Release the dial right before it ends and its usually green

[@itsBATMAYNE]

Lol my Gold interceptor badge is a Deflector badge so i wouldn’t notice much

[@JackTheStrippa]

This is why im not buying 2k next year, ill just play 25 for the next few years. I made a lock with high steal and they nerfed steals to the ground so the builds now been nerfed for no fkin reason or because some 13 years olds cried about it instead of learning to make better passes..

[@jaysonmyfeetallen6223]

I turned that shot feed back off and I'm more effective without it on because I was trying to change it on fly.

[@Faceplug2k]

I still get 4-5 steals a game. I play a lot of random rec tho

[@chikiliki90210]

Now let's see who can stay in front of their man 😂

Nah passing lanes are still broken, everybody's deion Sanders

100% nerfed interceptor and I noticed this yesterday

As if defense in this game ain’t already ass 😂

[@Vicious77724]

Back door galore😢

[@Qube6]

Y’all act like 2k has the capacity or the brains to touch one part of the steals and not break the whole thing. If they touched trailing rips rest assured the entire steal system got impacted

[@Jus2Smooth4You]

Yo man you messed up you kicked me from the discord bro but aite cool man, I think you took my question wrong.

[@problems9739]

Devs be in the comments so I ain’t gone say shit . Don’t touch my builds 2k , the game great 😬

[@ThaFixture]

Im ngl intercepting needed a nerf. No way I should have been averaging 4.5 steals per games with a 60 steal. Im glad I didnt invest more. Btw I still got 3 steals in my last two games today.

[@yxngskrilla9765]

Why you want it nerf if you got 60 steals

[@ThaFixture]

@ Because I probably shouldn’t be averaging that many steals in a 5 minute quarter game with that low of an attribute. With how limited the amount of possessions are in the short quarters, a change of possession makes a much bigger difference compared to a 12 minute quarter game that has many more possessions in it. But I dont seem to feel that much of a difference so far today. And its not that I want it nerfed like that but I understand why.

Did u test it? Or just saying it ro get views 😂

Theres really no point in adding steals to yo build to me i havent added steals since 2k23 JUST PUT A BODY ON THEM PLAY MAN TO MAN DEFENSIVE GET BETTER AT BEING IN FRONT OF YO opponent, AND YOU WONT NEED STEALS PLUS IF YOU GO FOR A STEAL ATTEMPT AND YOU DONT GET IT THATS A AUTOMATIC BUCKET BC IT PUTS YOU IN ANIMATION THAT YOU CANT GET OUT OF IT….
