I bought it for PS4 and Switch. Feels different to me, shooting is improved, players movement feels a bit laggy though. NS version feels more fluid too, I like how they have gradually improved it since 2018 on that platform to make 30 FPS feel less noticeable.
 
First year I think Im not even gonna bother playing. I may buy it because I collect games, but 2k has gotten to be crazy with those micro transactions and it gets old paying for the game and then needing to pay a bunch more money to be worth while in MyTeam, or MyPlayer, which are the modes I enjoy.

For the record I hope the ones who get it and play enjoy it! Just kind of done with the VC grind.
 
I got some updated rosters for 2k19, I think that's good enough for me after hearing about how shitty 20 is.

How can you complain about micro transactions if you love the gambling for 10 year olds mode of 2K?

I have always enjoyed Ultimate team, and team building type games, the concept of building teams with old and new players is fun for me. I guess thats how... I dont like the micro transactions open packs and RNG part of it.

I like team building...?

So far this game is TRASH compared to 19.

I like the gameplay after I got used to it. Shooting definitely feels much better and natural. Player movement still doesn’t feel right though, a bit laggy. I am still going to spend hundreds of hours playing though.

As per usual I cannot find the right difficulty. All-Star is a little too easy, Superstar a little too difficult. I am closer to All-Star at this point though so play first half on All-Star and if I am up by 5 points or more at half, I switch to Superstar for the second half and only revert back to All-Star if I go behind 5 or more inside fourth quarter. Seems good.

Nope. Will trade Whiteside for him when Nurkic is back. Though I am also considering Gallinari and Gordon as my power forward plans.

I bumped Simons up to 75 and improved his shooting to 85. Very fun player.

I have saves with Clippers and Pelicans too. It’s funny how they downgrade player ratings with Intangibles which mean nothing. I gave Zion 85 intangibles and he goes from 81 to 85 without any changes in other skills. I had to bump up Hayes (his athleticism was very average compared to real world) and Alexander-Walker (was only 73), plus gave Ball and Ingram small boosts. Pels are a very fun team, so are Clippers and their new court is ace.

NBA2K20 Ratings For The Trail Blazers' All-Time Roster

upload_2019-9-16_13-36-46.png


Here's my all-time Blazer list:
1. C Drexler (525)
2. B Walton (419)
3. D Lillard (361)
4. L Aldridge (285)
5. T Porter (254)
6. J Kersey (207)
7. M Lucas (197)
8. R Wallace (195)
9. J Paxson (189)
10. C Robinson (185)
11. B Roy (183)
12. A Sabonis (170)
13. B Williams (148)
14. M Thompson (137)
15. B Gross (133)
23. CJ McCollum (119)
35. J Nurkic (83)

This list is always very subjective. So, being an engineer, I put my analysis into a quantifiable equation:
Rating = (WS) + (PER x 3) + (Playoff Games x PER/20) + (Blazer Career Top-10) + (All-Star appearances x 10) + (All-NBA 3rd team x 15) + (All-NBA 2nd team x 25) + (All-NBA 1st Team x 50) + (NBA MVP x 150) + (NBA Championship x PER x 2.5)

All stats are while playing for the Blazers.
WS=Win Share
Blazer Career Top-10 is measured 1 pt per rank (10th place = 1 pt, 1st place = 10 pts), Pts, Rbs, Ast, Stl, Blk.

Weird to put objective stats and add subjective weights to them. Man I wish Bill Walton was healthy and in Portland longer. Nice analysis BTW. :)

Yeah, when I've listened to others debate 'who is the best Blazer ever' I've been interested in knowing the criteria they use. Some value great short term achievements (NBA Championship), and others value great long term achievements (Win-Share or All-Time Top 10 categories). I was curious if I could put a balanced weighting to some of those factors to create a list that somewhat resembled my overall 'subjective' opinion. It was tougher than I thought it would be. When I increased a weighting of one of the categories so I could move a player up, it also moved other players up/down that I didn't think should be moved. It really challenged me to look at how I value 'greatest ever'.

Now my favorite ever Blazer to watch? Totally subjective - Sabonis. But Dame is quickly moving up that list. Wow has he been fun to watch. Every year he seems to find another gear.

I don’t really buy it in 19 or 20. It is a stat they use to control overall. There is no reason why Paul George or Jrue Holiday should have Intangibles of below 50.

I have been messing with intangibles stats for players to make their overalls more in line with ability but haven’t noticed any change in performance.
 
I've been playing MyPlayer and have been coming off the bench. Playing behind Ricky Rubio. I'm on my 24th game and have to wait till I'm a starter to request a trade to the Blazers. Says the Blazers hold a 26% interest in me.

Whether or not you buy it is really irrelevant though right?

:dunno:

They've scientifically tested it.
 
Don't be mad at me y'all.....

My player is on the Lakers! (I'm a PG)

I took Rondo's spot!

Lob City Baby!!

THASSAMUTHAFUCKINSQUAD!!!!!
 
Trae Young is so much fun in this game. Playing with Atlanta and loving it. Traded for Myles Turner and Jaylen Brown, this team is mad good now. I did improve Trae's 3-point ability to 85 and gave him 83 mid-range though. I also upgraded Dame and CJ slightly, and updated Simons significantly for his shooting as his 75 from three did not make sense. I like that you are able to edit players in this series, it's really useful and you can make it much more realistic.

I'm 6-3 with Blazers, just won by 30 points at Clippers and came back from 15 down in the final quarter against Nets. 7-4 on my save with Clippers, 3-1 with Atlanta and I've restarted with Pelicans because I made wrong moves on my previous one. I intend to keep playing with those 4 teams for the season, maybe add 1-2 saves. I'll need to import players DNAs when they get updated materially.

Meh. It's all about building my my-player PG. I can throw lobs to LeBron, Davis, and Kuzma. Plus Danny Green is knock down.

I'm averaging 12 assists per game on my rookie season. Playing on superstar.

You get the "Gym Rat" badge when you win the championship. I need that ASAP.

I was on the Clippers then I forced a trade LOL.
