Also, you can download the MyNBA2K20 app and face scan yourself.

While you’re messing around with the demo don’t forget to try the fake first step feature. From a stand, flick the left stick in one of 8 directions. I love to use this in pick and roll situations to get the defender leaning in one direction. #nba2k20demo 👍🏻

A big complaint about HOF brick wall screens, apparently like 2K17. Check out the video and Gasol crushing a player by standing there.

I never pick my screener. I just hold L1 until someone comes and then I pick and roll or pop. But if you tap L1 and then tap R1 you can designate the player you want to pick with. So many options in the game.

Here’s an example of the fake first step feature I was talking about earlier. https://t.co/jEXnuTVcXs

Reading a lot of good things about foot planting and explosiveness. Unfortunately my internet was down for 6 hours tonight after work so will check out the 5v5 2KU scrimmage tomorrow. Good night fellas

It’s tough when you don’t have full slider or difficulty options to mess with. I like how the left stick blow byes are better. Had some nice ones with Lowry in scrimmage. Kind of boring without announcers. The defensive meter is nice. Seeing a direction helps me but it doesn’t always show up which is good. I forgot a broken circle meant vulnerable to a steal. Hitting L1 and then a player icon gets me an automatic screen. How do I do specific player plays now? Overall I only got to play for half an hour since my internet was down for 6 hours last night.

I do have one huge concern for me personally. I love high and over the top side angles. I use the Nosebleed camera with zoom 4, height 7/8 in ‘19. But that camera is gone! And the generic broadcast camera is lower this year. Height at 10 can’t come close to giving me what I like. I may seriously pass on this game for that reason alone. I couldn't find a camera angle I like in the demo. Praying it’s in the full version. I’m only an offline gamer and I just want that camera back.

I would recommend switching to full shot feedback on everything. I enjoy seeing the defensive coverage on the cpu shooters. It shows 47% coverage. I like it and would encourage you to switch that option. The game is on Rookie difficulty and no real jerseys, no names on the floor and no announcers so the Scrimmage setting is a bit blah. I didn't even bother checking out MyPlayer. Based on a poll Mike Wang did on line about the size of the shot meter he is going to make it bigger (90% wanted it bigger).

I will say the explosiveness of players is probably better but I usually play offline and I boost the Acceleration slider to 70 or 75 so my 2K19 game is more explosive lol. I need to get my hands on the full version but I will not be paying full price if the Nosebleed cam is not in there. Will stick with 2K19 until I get a big sale (opening day last year was $30 off from $80C while Black Friday is always half price).

This is a good tip https://t.co/h919sPJMbN

To add to this: You will notice your turbo meter will flash in yellow indicating that you can’t get to your top sprint speed any longer. Acceleration is also impacted. https://t.co/MPtwtRn424

If you want access to all of the jump shot animations, either be 6'7" or shorter, or be under 6'10" and less than 220. Created jump shots aren't locked out from bigs, just certain bases.
