    You know what, I understand what you are saying. The reason I don't feel this way is because I don't do builds, don't play online. As a result, I don't by VC. I just play with my favorite team (Knicks) through seasons. I'm not at H.O.F difficulty yet, but I'm getting there. So 2K24 is fun for me. Oh yea, I won't be buying 2K25. I'll wait for it to be free on Xbox ultimate.

      That’s dope, you could also get away with maybe spending like $20 for one build and that’s it, but then if you want more builds loudly you’re forces to spend $100 for a fucking build

    • @facejalen
      @facejalen  Месяц назад

      @ nowadays the $20 would only max a 3 pt rating. I think I only spent $40 on my build but still grinded the rest of the way from the 80s to 99. But I think they should make the 99 grind faster so players wouldn’t open their wallets but there’s no way they’re doing that with the money they make from VC now lol

      This 2k is so weird. You wanna dunk the ball because you're wide open? Let me give you the worst layup animation of all time so the defense has a chance to block you. You wanna steal the ball? We'll let you hit it back to the other team or let it bounce out of bounds. You got someone boxed out? Nice, let's increase their vertical by 50 inches so they grab it over your back. Matter of fact, let's just not allow you to do anything you're trying to do so you feel like your build is busted and you go make 10 more. That's how 2k25 goes lmao.

    Exactly this game is so unpredictable I was on JC 2K. I went on a rant. Nobody can tell me playing my team showdown they don't Nerf the odds with your opponent especially when you're trying to level up to another tier. I can play one game shoot a nice high percentage the game works. I cross over to another Network or something like that next game play to play there's a glitchy and you play totally different. The morphing is out of control. Contested threes where I'm morphing into players go in. But I know this is in certain situations. The algorithm or whatever they're using is way off in this game. I'm playing games like hold up like what did I just see. Way to call them out.. Salute

    What’s annoying with 2k it has mad potential as a software engineer and developer myself it comes down to lazy coding and implementation of new functions and animations (sorry to get nerdy), but first of all 2k devs clearly don’t do a good testing on their games to see how pointless somethings are and how it makes the game unenjoyable, second say you get stuck in animations there should be an input you can do to save yourself from being pulled in or to do the right thing whether it’s timing it, the game is annoying, once you hit gold plate you can’t even get a match because the truth is you can’t get wins like that unless you hit starter 3 and do your cap breakers, so the game is pretty much post starter 3 and gold plate unplayable

      Bro I completely understand. I have experience with coding and UX and some of the development choices they make are awful. Just the little things like event pop ups taking up my whole screen for 3-5 seconds instead of a simple notification in the corner drive me insane. I've been convinced for years that they don't have game testers to tell them how much of a chore their game is to play through. It's great to hear the prospective from your side

    bro at the end of the day it aint the playstyle its not the animations either cause players trigger certain animations whether it be by accident or on purpose. The problem come in at is when said animation that you know has a high probability of success given the situation misses. Yet a low iq no basketball in (Real life)players comes down court and makes a contested shot. The problem is 2k did everything right but took the competition out of the game. No one is making shots or dunking the ball when they know their supposed to. Ppl are missing open shots and dunks. Missing open layups because of rng instead of giving that said player their earned and respected shot. If the game says your going to miss your going to miss. Its no longer user error. Its up to 2k and it’s algorithm whether you win or lose a game. THATS the problem theres no skill gap just who has it and who dont at that moment. Im a 2k fan bro since 2k11 i was 11 yrs old skipping school just to play basketball outside of school. Now all my experience is voided cause this is a game of chance.
