There is a scouting report under player card/VIP



The rule has been around since the very beginning of the 2k leagues here on GAF I believe, at least it has in my past 4 seasons.

On ball D is the way to play in our league. This is still "pre-season" so do whatever the fuck you want I don't care, but come "season" time it's manual defense. So if you think you suck at it or aren't very good, well you have plenty of opportunity to practice now.

mind blown.

manual D is required now? wtf?


Offense has the vast advantage on the defensive players this year, to stop someone like LeBron you're telling me that I can't pack it in a zone and try to draw charges with my big men?


it shouldn't be required IMO

 

[Herpes Reasons]

i honestly don't know what just happened...

i made an ambiguous statement about on-ball-d (no need to call anyone out), and then kado immediately feels the need to call me a pussy. amazing.

also, just to make an observation for you kado; playing on-ball-d "100% of the time except on JJ" doesn't equate to playing on-ball-d 100% of the time. you can't do something 100% of the time sometimes. :lol

ecnal, i'll play 100% man D on you except for JJ. i'll let bowen do all the dirty work. How about this, i'll play 100% man D on you only if you stop trying to steal every goddamn pass.

reading is fundamental?
first thing.
1. you lied about me never playing manD on you. i only let the computer do its dirty deed against JJ.
2. i didn't break any league rule.
3. its only scrim.
4. you nerd rage quit on me.
5. stop calling me out. im a fair player. ask anyone here. its not like i try to go for 70, steal every pass, and always tries for a fastbreak play and never sets up a play*.

*and not playing man d on a specific player is far less *exploiting* then your style of play. if you call me out, im gonna call out on your shit too. its fair game.

So...you'd rather play the CPU is what you're saying? Nobody said anything about playing a zone. If you're playing man then you need to guard the person with the ball, if zone then you need to take control of the closest player to the ball.

mind blown.

You can download the VIP profile from whoever in the league and practice against it too...this has been in the game since 2k7 I think.

since when?

this is the rule you posted about man-D.


got that from season 6 thread, if it was changed, i was never aware of it.:lol

That was season 6 though...notice how I haven't posted rules yet for season 7 in the OP?

Although this is not a requirement..try and play manual defense. It's much more fun when you and your opponent are actually guarding each other rather than letting the CPU do it...

See that's the difference, I don't believe just because someone is playing off ball D that "Im playing the CPU".

requiring manual D limits the defensive player's options. You can't play the passing lanes or hunt for steals and you can't effectively draw charges with big men. I prefer my opponent plays defense anyway he sees fit.

when someone plays manual d, it makes the game so much easier for me because I can blow right by them or pull up for the easy jumpshot because they don't know when I'm going up. :lol

Then there's no point in playing in a league. If I wanted to play against the CPU on defense I'd play against randoms. Really though, on manual D I'm not going to budge too much on it. You make it seem like it's an impossible task. I've won my championships by playing manual defense...it is not impossible. There isn't much enjoyment of playing against the CPU and having a player sit in the back while the CPU does all the work.

It's annoying and based on the amount of PMs I received last season...I'm not the only one who feels that way.

 

[Hunter D]

I play man d and got raped by J smith because of it.

The funny thing about the offensive power up is that it is less than it was at the release, but is still broken. The funny thing is that the iso motion in this year's game is one of the worst ever implemented in 2k.

What I've learned is that you don't d up on someone when the shot clock is about to expire are else all your hardwork was for nothing. The offensive power up is even greater when the shot clock is near expiration.

And I schooled vik with Devin Harris. double cross>Tony Parker. I got is ankles in my closet right now.

are you really 29 years old?

i'm a pussy, i nerd rage quit on you, and, apparently, i'm an exploiter.

i don't need to respond to anything here. nothing i say will be able to make you look as foolish as your own posts.

 

[CB3]

yeah Man on D should be required. i remember in 2k6 i use to camp the hell out of the lane and block everything with KG. Fun but pretty cheap. I really only did it cause it was the first B-Ball game i played seriously since NBA2K on Dreamcast.

i played man on every other league after that. if i see someone letting the computer guarding me alot i do my best to dick the hell out of them.

 

[CB3]

and that "you cant guard anyone with man on D" is BS. I held teams to low scoring all year with the fucking Bucks.

Bibby and Bogut and Charlie V and Joe Alexander and RJ are not what id call good defensive players either. but i made it work

Exactly.

And who are we waiting on? 19/22 players have signed in. One of those obviously isn't pheeniks so really we are waiting on 2 players...

I dont believe that to be true. I play pretty good on ball D, the problem i have to trying to defend screens and double screens. I guess post play, but everyone has that problem. Let me say, no one has ever gotten more than 35 points on me, let alone 71

against good players, manual D will not work. especially, if they're using a lebron, kobe etc. etc.

this "whole playing the CPU" concept is retarded. when the defensive player is the one deciding what defensive schemes to run, whether he'll patrol the paint to draw charges, go for blocks, play the passing lanes for steals, etc. etc.

this isn't some one on one street ball game, this is a team game.

manual D is a joke. I've never had problems blowing by someone playing manual D or pulling up for an open jumpshot.

I consider you a good player...and won every game we played last season against you playing manual D.


kobe had 23 points the first game I played the Lakers...19 the second.
lebron had 30 points the first game , 19 the 2nd.

your defense wasnt the reason you won. it's because i couldn't stop you on offense.

yao, mcgrady, iverson, artest. fuck :lol


and that game where you brought in the bench to launch 3pt bombs was ugh

Daw and Konex

I dont usually make a huge deal about the rules but on ball D ATLEAST the majority of the time should be the rule. if not all of the time

I was in top 4 in points allowed against me last season at 68 points a game....

and in my scrimmages so far with the bobcats it's been in the high 60 low 70's area...

Wallace is like Scottie Pippen :/ And he has him playing like Jordan. :/ Smokey knows the game inside and out, almost like those anal MVC 2 players that have combos tied to frames of animation.

[Smokey]

i never scored below 68 against you. :lol

But...you also never beat me so I guess it evens out.

first game 75 2nd game 83. But by definition of you saying that manual d against a good player is impossible...I should have lost those games to you. When we played I held Beasley and Wade to their average or below.

 

[strikeselect]

But...you also never beat me so I guess it evens out.

I recall beating you 3 straight times in 2K8 actually.


2K9 we've played a total of what 3 games? at best? against your stacked rockets? :lol

shit is getting real here folks

 

[Herpes Reasons]

you probably did in 2k8..but then i remember playing you in the playoffs and beating you there(with the Magic..who weren't stacked btw)...so which one counts more? shawn beat me in the regular season too with his Lakers in those 2 seasons in 2k8 when I won the ship....

How convenient to forget that I was playing with the 15 - 67 Heat.


took you to a game 7? good enough for me against that Dwight Howard/Rashard Lewis team.

The Magic weren't near the team they are now and you know it, and that's not my problem you had the 15-67 Heat. The Magic weren't even my team, the Rockets are. I couldn't use them b/c I was new to the league and had to pick after everybody else. So the season that I do get my hometown team it's still an issue b/c they were "stacked". :lol

Damn if I do damn if I don't!

It's not a fight because Cerrius hasn't beaten me in the playoffs nor does he have a championship ring(s) on his finger. I'm just defending myself here.

All in good fun

Cerrius is a good player.

c'mon man....

you didn't play on-ball-d at all. don't play it down. even diddy chimed in and said you slack with on-ball-d. i'm not the only one who thinks you don't play on-ball-d.

i ran 6 set plays all of which had you not playing on-ball-d unless it was on bibby.

- ran 3 plays for josh smith and none of them had you playing duncan on him. the only thing remotely close to you playing on-ball-d was when you switched to duncan, then immediately switched off back to tp.

- ran a play for marvin williams, you didn't play on-ball-d with him either. you switched back to tp and attempted to play passing lanes. ran another play with marvin williams holding the ball, which had bibby running of a series of screens, but you didn't play marvin nor did you play bibby with tp. you switched off to duncan on the weak side.

- after running my last play for jj, and you not playing on-ball-d, i took the shot and waited for the next moment possible to quit the game--after you either scored or turned the ball over.

and you're right, it's just a scrim, which is why i quit--there's no repercussion.

i wasn't going to waste another 28 minutes to play against a cpu controlled spurs defense. it's that simple. i can waste time playing the spurs offline, which is, effectually, the same experience as playing you.

also, i never called you out by name. i've never called you names, nor have i insinuated that you're a raging pussy nerd who exploits. it's really simple to act like a civil adult--considering you are 29 years old this should be something that you're familiar with.

 

[ph33nix]

i don't mind the name calling. we are what we are, just read the NBA thread :lol

and i try to play on ball D as much as I can but if i can see someone running a screen play i'm definitely gambling on that shit. and likewise, if i know someone is trying to post up a scoring center, ESPECIALLY yao, i'm going to play off-ball D and front the guy. the AI will never front for you.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

ecnal. according to season 6 rules, i didn't break any rules. considering man-D rule isn't implemented yet on season 7. so its fair game.
plus, btw...

a real adult finishes it out. so i wont consider you an adult til you finish our game, chump.

i don't mind the name calling. we are what we are, just read the NBA thread :lol

[Zep]

*flips around 48-hour card*

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

on the ball D when playing zone is kind of bullshit. for instance, take the 2-3 zone. the PG brings the ball up the court so you stick him. there is NO WAY to tell your SG on the top to spread out further to guard against an open 3, he just sits basically at the foul line waiting. what happens? pass over to the SG who gets an open 3.

the only way to prevent this is to pick your SG on defense and spread him out wide to guard out there.

i understand that on the ball D should happen in most instances, but there are definitely times when NOT playing on the ball D should be acceptable


p.s. yeah can't a couple people just "dummy" sign in and then replace them with the real people later?

no one suggested we were playing by any rules. it was a scrim. i left because it was boring and pointless to play a cpu defense. plain and simple.

like i said earlier, if you want to man up (on-ball-d) i don't have a problem playing you, but don't waste my time by pitting the cpu vs me.

we def need a dummy account for pheeniks somebody with a 48 hr card do it.

FMT finally has to play manually D instead of letting the cpu do everything for him. :lol

Oh wait he is already above crying about it.


Sign these people in plz thanks.

if someone is willing to do it, i'll pm them the 48 hour code.
