 Welcome back agent nation. My name of course you guys know me. My name is agent beam star. Let's get Into the news ladies and gentlemen before we get into any kind of news I need you guys. I'm gonna tell you a story before I tell you the story You have to promise to me. You're not gonna laugh. So I woke up. I'm supposed to go to 2k event What's so funny man, I woke up supposed to go to this event boom looking for my passport Where is my passport can't find my passport? I missed the flight and the whole event man's was chilling in the Hollywood Hills Playing 2k 19 early with all the content creators and I was supposed to be there and I missed it I'm mad. I sent Ronnie this DM. I was like my guy tried bro I just don't know where my passport is. I'm gonna have to get a new one So to all the people that saw that photo that cash put up and said 2k fire He said something like that and he looked where is agent? I was in Toronto miserable throwing myself a pity party eating some ice cream or something like that All right for our first story of the day ladies and gentlemen NBA 2k 19 You can choose between what kind of shop meter you want to have ladies and gentlemen You heard me correctly. You can choose between the 2k 18 shot meter or the 2k 17 shot meter now There are some differences. They're not identically the same to the way they were in those games But do you remember when Mike Wang put out the tweet and he's like guys What shot meter do you like best and then most people voted 17 16 was second and 18 was third you guys remember that pull I said in the replies to that. I was like, yo Mike Wang just make it so that we can switch between them, bro That's the best idea so you can choose between 18 17 or both Which I mean, I don't know why you'd want to have two different shot meters But I guess if you want to see as much green as possible when you're hitting your perfect releases That's that's an option for our second story of the day this one it puts a smile on my face guys because You you heard did you hear okay blow-by's and snatch bags aren't convenient to can 19 if you were if you've been abused Lemon 18 and you think you can get by 19. Uh-huh. That's over here man Now they played on the 5v5 mode So if you're playing pram or park or even my team We're not entirely clear as to whether those animations exist in those modes So if you played 2k 18 the blow-by's and snatch bags are ridiculous on program They're less prevalent, but still ridiculous on part, right? So the sliders do make a difference when it comes to that kind of stuff So I'm hoping man cross my fingers that is not gonna make a return those other modes that I love to play for our next Story of the day defense is better in NBA 2k 19 fear glissie was putting out some tweets also annoying TV Streamed the gameplay onto it, which I was like wow the first time we get a chance to see 5v5 gameplay is A couple months before the game's launch and is from content creators usually 2k is like nah We'd like to come out with the first gameplay ourselves But I guess 2k maybe got tired of people leaking with horrible quality cameras in games calm with their little flip phone And they just kind of let people upload it and so plenty people did Lsk uploaded some footage just to upload some footage cash up for upload it some footage So I'll leave cash as link in the description because he probably had the clear smoke hot my high definition Gameplay that I've seen of all the people that went to the event and you're looking at some on the screen right now as well There's no way that shouldn't have went in All the links to the stuff I'm talking about are in the description Annoying was probably the one giving out the most information through Twitter YouTube and Twitch But there's been a lot of content creators doing the same. So I got y'all. I could have been one of them, baby I could have just oh my god. I can't believe it. I cannot believe it ladies and gentlemen, I I don't know man. I'm just depressed guys gig. Hey cheer me up in the comments something like that On our next story of the day the game feels more arcadey annoying says so remember little Mike Wang for not a pool He was asking the people guys. Do you want the game to be complete simulation? complete arcade craziness or in the middle he asked people from a scale of 1 to 10 and Most people voted right down the middle. It seems like unlike 2k 18 There's gonna be a little bit more of a arcade touch tonight team Which I like it adds more of a fun factor It even adds a little bit of a skills gap because you're almost detaching yourself from realism Hey, if I'm gonna play basketball in real life, I'm walking out the door I'm heading to the gym with a basketball in hand in my duffel bag, right? I don't like this idea that every NBA 2 game 2k game has to be next level Realism, but it's like you can't perfectly emulate real life in a basketball game So you're just gonna have wonky animations. You're gonna lose the fun factors It's gonna ruin everything so I'm happy to know that like 2k 14 15 even 16 They're kind of heading back into the direction of the more fun 2k and I can only imagine if that's what they were feeling in play Now they're gonna feel it even more when they play on the park Which is why I'm excited about it for our next story of the day in one of annoying's videos He said that he was talking to Mike Wang and Mike Wang said he made shooting tougher next year And there was a bunch of posts he put up about this But I guess they're looking to actually introduce a skills gap to shooting so that the people who can time the shots the best will be the People that are more consistently hitting shots on the game annoying felt like the shooting was too hard when he was playing the demo and Him in Los Polos. He said was leaving people open, but they weren't hitting any greens He said it was very challenging to hit a green and he was talking to Mike Wang saying you might have to make the shooting Easier because if I can't hit greens, I don't even know how the casual players gonna find a way to hit greens unless of course They get incredibly lucky so when it comes to a skill gap It's pretty simple if you make shooting incredibly easy everybody's gonna be able to do it There's no skills gap But if you make it incredibly hard as to the point where even the best players can't consistently hit it Then it's gonna be too hard and there's still gonna be no skills gap There's always a sweet spot in the middle that you have to find and each game tries to find that sweet spot So Mike Wang I'm just I'm just letting you know that just because you may shooting super hard does not mean there's a skills gap I hope you've done your work to find a balance and If you did man, I'm gonna be so excited cuz you know, that's my bread and butter ladies and gentlemen This is what I do. I'm a lights out shooter. So let me find out They have a skills gap allow me some time to master said skills gap and 2k 19 Could be a whole lot of fun dropping folks off man Getting some clips and some plays that nobody's ever seen before being the first to do it. Oh, I love it I'm trying not to get excited. This is how you get let down man You take your expectations way too high So let me simmer down real quick for the next story of the day in NBA 2k 17 They announced layup meters and everyone's like what we have to time layups now But as I played 2k 17, I actually began to enjoy the layup meter It's not necessarily like a meter the way you'd shoot you just get a bonus if you release it better But you don't get anything negative by releasing it poorly in 2k 18 You still had to release your layups There was just no meter and so in 2k 19. It seems like they reintroduced the meter some people were super furious about it I'm saying well, what are you talking about? If you can't time a layup, bro Then you won't even stand a shot time and shots. So we all need to stop getting angry every single time 2k does something I'm the one saying that oh god. This is crazy There was a tweet someone sent me and he was like bro agent check this out man This was the 2k 18 shot meter. They didn't change a thing bro I'm not buying this game, and he won't like bro relax my god. Relax. We don't know the details What if they allow you to switch shop meters or something? You got to calm down and he was reacting from Ronnie 2k's Instagram story where it showed like the free throw shot meter And they're like, oh, I hate 2k 18 shot meter, bro. I want to use it So long story short give some give it time guys Let's get all the information before we begin to react which is why I'm kind of cautious about the blow-by and snatch back thing We don't know if it's in the other mode. I don't have the full information just yet So I'm staying calm for our final story of the day ankle breakers are incredibly rare in 2k 19 That's what we hear right? I also heard the same thing for 2k 18 and we can do you can hit like 16 ankle breakers in a game in that game So I don't know if things are gonna be different in the park program my team But word is that if you're a playmaker is not gonna be so easy to hit those ankle breakers Which is a good or a bad thing a good thing if you think that rarity makes it fun so that when you actually hit an ankle breaker It's worth celebrating and it's bad if you just think of it practically ankle breakers give you an opportunity to get an open bucket And if you get less of those they might have been a pretty big nerve to playmakers as a whole especially those that enjoy Isolation dribbling I don't know I am not a playmaker, so I do not care That being said that is all the information we have on NBA 2k 19 as of now Of course, there's gonna be some more leaks that come out and when they do roll I'm gonna be on it if you guys enjoyed the video drop a like subscribe if you guys are new and I'm gonna catch you Guys in the next one. I'm out Peace yeah, I'm sweating like crazy Yeah, they're gonna point that out, huh?
