at the very least they got rid of some of the blow by animation cheese. still motherfuckers online only exclusively holding turbo though.
They going to run out of stamina insanely fast doing that.........I noticed it in my career, so I decided to get more clever with handles and screens. Holding turbo against a lock down defender is going to get them smoked. Plus when they body you and try to force their way through you can easily attempt a steal there and have a decent chance of getting it.
PC servers are godly atm though, its clear that they have no idea what they are doing console side as the shit there is wack, and again its only going to get worse because the console version for general public is Tuesday........the amount of folks playing now isn't even the flood thats going to enter.
MyCareer is by far the best it has been in a LONG time. I've been getting on average 1k to 1.5k VC per game. You have way more options this year to get VC and most basic animations don't cost much anymore. I remember having to spend like 20k VC last year on dribble animations. It's much better on the character side, just don't go to the shops in the neighborhood I saw 8k VC for one fucking tattoo........dear lord. So concentrate on actually playing the game first, VC is much more generous and its probably the easiest to upgrade a player in 2k19 then it was this entire generation. Also getting badges are much, much better this year. I had a bronze badge for difficult shots before I even left china.....and almost have 4-5 total bronze badges after 3 games.
I did notice acrobatic layups activate more often depending on your arc type too, my dude is pulling some DRose shit driving the lane and its so much better with having the shot bar back for layups and stuff.
NBA 2k18 is probably the worst 2k game this gen, while 2k19 seems to actually be the best so far. I'm packing up my stuff to head to my parents house later and play with my little brother. Will post more impressions hopefully tonight on the VC fiasco and see if what we have in the beginning gets better or if they pull and switch and say fuck you down the line.
