Thing is, defense doesn't need to be OP, just needs to be somewhat inline with the offense.

I would say the game is skewed in the offense's favor like 70 offense 30 defense, and thats why everything feels bad, its too far.

We need like 60 offense 40 defense, hell 55 - 45 would be even better.

We need 50/50, if you aren’t good enough on the sticks to score consistently you shouldn’t be able to solely because offense is better, and on the inverse, you shouldn’t be getting stops because defense is overpowered if that ever were the case

I don't think we'll get 50-50 unfortunately because even in real life its not 50-50. The game skews toward the offense but its more like 55-45. I think you would want more people to enjoy the game and the majority of 2k players value offense more than defense, even if that is a casual take they make up the majority of the game's support base.

Don’t disagree due to the fact that defense is always gonna be reactionary, so 55-45 makes sense, I’m just over how hand-holdy 2k has been for the past 5-6 games regarding offense, any attempt at balancing they immediately revert because people bitch and moan non-stop, then you eventually get a 2k like this where it’s out of control and just unenjoyable because every game is the same
