I'm inclined to agree with you but I also think that 2 k 24 has some of the worst physics of any 2k. Blocks when you don't actually contact the ball collision animations are kind of ass. If the game doesn't give you a hip riding animation the guy will slide off of you like your covered grease. There's way too much contact allowed For NBA simulation game they haven't gotten the memo that the non-contact area means just that no contact.

I agree about the ball being picked up when it is free. While I am not on a lock, I have a 91 steal. Last time I was playing rec, I poked the ball free 3 times but never picked it up once.

Bruh the issue with zone is it's broken on 2k and always have been that's why ppl put the controller down. Zone broken bcuz the court is too small not wide enough where ppl can cover two ppl in two different areas which is b.s. then 2k always, always have rewarded ppl for not playing actual defense just reach spam/passing lanes. More factual nonsense in real bball ppl play 2-3 zone against teams who cant shoot on 2k ppl play it and it can prevent ppl from shooting 3s that right there should tell it's broken af. Lol like c'mon yall So you combine this with atrocious input delay y'all cant sit up here and pretend like it's not broken but i guess ppl could but it doesnt negate these facts I stated. Which is most ppl who play against zone say the other team trash for playing it the broken trash especially in the rec where ppl shouldn't even be allowed to play zone.. completely takes the fun out of the game playing against zone in the rec.

hey badge i made a build with a 91 steal would you say it’s worth playing on the build still? if not then it sucks seeing how i upgraded to build to an 89 ovr so seeing that much vc go to waste is disappointing

One thing I noticed is I will blitz at the right time and it yo-yos right back to them after poking it loose… they definitely nerfed it but it doesn’t change how I play lock in still highly effective

4:15 definitely Badge. It's like you get a steal or a poked ball, your team start running for the fastbreak, and then boom this guard with no defense no Work Horse no nothing, beats you to the ball and then they have a 3 on 2 or any kind of favorable situation. Shit's frustrating.

They didn’t change anything tbh steal way too OP. I talk about ppl using stick for steals if they do it’s a free steal I got 91 steal I get minimum 5 steal per game. When I saw a 95+ steal and just spam and get more than 9 steals a game. They need to change this ASAP cause lockdown don’t even play defense they just abuse this OP things. Joe knows already said it and he right . True PG here and not a left right type of guy

They definitely needed it, and the right stick ripper

Idk I don’t get 7 steals but i don’t even put it on many builds because I feel I can get at least a steal pretty consistently with 25 steal on most of my builds which is wild to me any other attribute you not getting that

I avg about 2.3 steals a game in Rec and there’s some games I’ve gotten about 7 to 9 steals and honestly you just gotta hope 2k on your side 😂

Imma be honest I really like the gameplay this year Ik that might be a hot take but I love the gameplay this year

Should I go 85 steal or 91 ??? I have 99 steal doesn’t work it’s not worth it

Still playing this game is hilarious 😂😂 2k been so trash it’s crazy

Badge 💯💯

But whats your workhorse badge on? Seems like your getting the pick just not securing the ball afterwards

Where do I find that build?

Might not be a popular opinion but if someone has 99 prim D and 99 steal and the ball handler runs into a perfectly timed steal animation it should be a pluck 99 percent of the time

They need to fix free throws super inconsistent I’ve seen people miss a 95% but others smack a 20% back to back. especially in the clutch u should atleast have to be 75 percent for it to go in

Still didn’t fix the jumpball bullshit but in a quick hurry to patch an exploit in getting a shit ton of VC or quick to patch Lockdowns smfh

I got a SF with 93 perimeter and 85 strength and 91 steal i get steals but i definitely need practice.. but cant just have a high steal because without perimeter D u wont have certain badges that compliment steals. But i am focused on my clamping and steals are only for the perfect situation..people have no D but super high steal and just reach all day..

I’m thinking I’m still learning timing for steals too it’s kind of a learning curve if you never had it on your player

I agree with picking up the ball after you pluck them every time you do pluck them you should get the ball, but people want this game too be realistic and to have people averaging 6+ steals per game when in real life the best lockdown defenders average about 2 more or less so simply doesn’t make sense for people to always be plucking people all the time, I’d get it if the game leaned towards more an arcade style of play, but I also think it’s more of a problem with the unpluckable badge than steals

The steals HAVE BEEN THAT WAY noticed it last year. They reward terrible players that don’t know what they’re doing with the ball and BEST BELIEVE they pick it up and either get 1. Bullshit animation for a layup or dunk 2. Pass it to a wide open teammate that ends up hitting the shot

People that complain the most are ball handlers and if they are getting ripped by any steal tier then it'll get patched. Dribbling is big in the community. As a lock, you learn to just live with it

It’s nerfed I had more success trying right stick ripper than pressing x and even with interceptor I only get reflects unless they have a low pass rating Bump steals haven’t been patched tho

I think they really nerfed right stick ripper a lot of the times I have the perfect position to use it and it just doesn't register or it's and automatic foul or I just that weired Ani where he kinda lounges for the ball and the guy goes right by me

Would you say 99 steal is not worth it? Or does it still hit different from 91?

oddly enough i feel i get more steals with gold unpluckable than HoF. 2. Koster, in my opinion i feel a lot of streamers/Yt’s show case heavy offensive builds and thats a problem because a lot of casuals or new players copy them and have no defense. and because of their inexperience they cost games, not only because they cant play defense but they have no attributes working for them. Heavy offense builds is helping no one because they will still brick with 99 3 ball and have 0 defense. they should be getting use to balanced builds not only will they learn their lane with lower offensive attributes and improve little by little but at least have some defense to assist them and their team. I’m not hating on you koster, i just feel creators that are “about the community” should help improve their fans. Even if they arent saying make this build, Fans boys are still gonna see the wow factor, copy, retweak and F up the build, spend vc/time, sell games rinse and repeat. I see and hear this all the time and i tell them otherwise. Like who els are these videos for you know?

lol what I don’t understand is why people want steals to be good it takes no skill to spam now if you play good defense and time it cool but people literally just spam and get it they really need to BUFF UNPLUCKABLE you can have high dribbling stats gold unpluckable and get ripped easily

The 2k dev probably don’t ever watch real nba games, they probably never see how it’s almost impossible to dribble in front of elite defender (ex: kawhi) not even cp3 the top playmaker can do so. 2k is unrealistic because you can always dribble so much and barely get steal, you never dribble that much in real life. And in 2k the dribble take up so many space, you never see someone in real life dribble take up so many space and dribble one side of court to other side of court.

Nah zone is annoying because squad rec doesn't always mean 5v5. You could be with 3 guys matched with 2 Randoms or just 4 guys. If you are zone defense full 5 stack and in the rec its just cuz you want to beat up on lesser matchups which is fine but you cant say oh just get better when the same can be said for you playing in the pro am.

Yeah we get that when it jump ball it annoying
