I heard steals have been buffed, you cant dribble anymore and lightly contested, heavily and smothered shots all have higher tendencies to go in what is true

They are slowly ruining 2k19 so people feel like they have to buy 2k20. A brilliant strategy imo.

probably lower then expected pre orders for 2k20 and more people playing 2k19 late into the cycle…no other reason for them to patch gameplay in a bad way this late in the games cycle
Exactly! Straight out the Apple playbook lol

I greened a smothered 3pt shot with pettit. Dont remember that happening before.
I think the steals are back to normal.

Idk but I had difficulties recently. There are players whose releases I don’t know that well but if I managed to get them open I hit some of their shots. Now 
clank! Haha I have some difficulties getting by a defender using the same player I used before. Not saying that I always managed to dribble next to my defender but now it happens less frequently. Haven’t played enough to notice anything wierd related to steals. Oh one more thing. My players seem to be stopped on screens more often. These are my observations. I think they are experimenting with the sliders before releasing 2k20.
Definitely agree with screens being more effective. Pick dodger HOF seems useless now.

Sums up my experience. Offball steals are buffed too.
yeah, the AI will bump steal you if you get too close to another defender or try isoing them

Offball steals done gone insane. I played a dude running offball and playing passing lanes today and it was so difficult to get passes through, I just went with a huge lineup, 5 outed and posted up mismatches for the entire 2nd half. I didn’t have any other choice, couldn’t run in transition or plays he’d pick everything off.

I also ended up in like 4 jump balls from double teams, I’d get tied up immediately.
