They lowered how much VC you get from the daily AND weekly quests while also increasing how much you have to do to complete said quests. Its honestly evil how money hungry these companies are to make sure their quarterly numbers keep increasing. Smfh
@@2letterstc fr 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I buy $50 worth of vc when the game comes out to max my player to 85 and then probably another $100 throughout the year for a 2nd build after theyre done updating the game but it’s ridiculous you have to purchase it at all. I dont have the time to do a no money spent build, I wouldnt have a 99overall till june every year
The inability to earn VC in 2k has really killed the game for me over the last several years. Playing rec and park is cool but I actually enjoy grinding mycareer because I started playing in 2k10 and that’s all there was to do then. The most rewarding thing would be winning a bunch of awards and the finals and getting like 200k skill points at the end of the season to take your player to a 90 something overall. There is no rewarding way to grind the game like that anymore if you enjoy mycareer.
They made this POS game pay to win now. They have ADS everywhere for a PAID game… thats a ridiculous feature only in free games and even then not this bad. 2k is pathetic for being money greedy. I refunded the game last week
98%. i have a 91 steal and gold interceptor. i used to get like 4-5 steals a game, now im lucky to get 2. everything gets tipped right back to the other team.
Hey you can’t say that .. if you say this game is ass people are gonna tell you it’s a skill issue lmao nah I agree 100% and I’m good at the game. The games got more things wrong with it then any 2k I’ve ever played and I’ve been rockin with 2k for over a decade. Shits terrible.
2k dropped the bag. No pure green window, everything cost more now, defense broken sorry to say we need nba live back. No comp no passion no energy out into the game
Never had that issue. I jump when I hold it up, but not down. Honestly I have more of a problem trying to get my guy to put his damn hands up because of the stupid ass deadzone.
I don’t know why it’s playing the game for us we all big kids now we don’t need our wlittle fingies held and the force field when I’m trying to put my body on them like the physics is off like he put baby oil on
Shooting isn’t op. Dropsteps isn’t op. Layups isn’t op. Dunking isn’t op. Defense in the game is just terrible. From launch we’ve seen players scoring over top of other players at a high clip. Now they’re pandering to help players out on offense more INCREASING the success rate on scoring when it was already high enough, BUT NOT TOUCHING OR BUFFING DEFENSE. Making the balancing issue even worse than it already was. I tested legend post lockdown and hof paint patroller on my 7’1 96 strength center n was getting shoved out the paint multiple times in a row by centers with lower strength and lower finishing and shorter. In previous 2ks if a center went up against another center you couldn’t bully that center unless it was a clear mismatch (size strength low interior etc.) but now it doesn’t matter you could go in on a 7’3 and still get bullied. Now you have guards making post scoring builds! the game is dead. Let’s stop making excuses for a game that was clearly unfinished and has way more flaws than a lot of players refuse to admit.
This game is so bad it feels like its been out for 8 months and its only been a month and a half.. its never been this way. All ive done the last week or so was my daily spins and i dont even end of playing a game before i turn it off.
This game sucks but has anybody noticed the block buff?(paint D/hands up right in front of post play still sucks) but I get more chase downs and more blocks when jumping at someone
@@Tyyy24k me too! Just the first game i had 6 or so, after that 0-2, 99 block and high defense and physics. HoF Pogostick sometimes not activate as well when it should.
A lot of people loved 18,21,and they love this one when Imo so far this game,18,and 21 are the worst 2ks of the last decade. But we all have different experiences ya know
Season rewards make no sense it's now the same as weekly challenges. They've also made the daily and weekly challenges way harder than 2K24. Used to be easy to complete the weekly city/rec challenges on multiple builds, but now I'm lucky if I get one weekly city/rec challenge.
I said it last year but i truly mean it i will not buy this game again. Gaming is not about games anymore it’s about money and that’s why games just aren’t the same. Like why is it advertisements in a game. It’s just like damn games use to be your escape now it’s something you wanna escape from as quickly as you can
That Timmerman pos made you feel powerless and hopeless as a 2k player lol like if the people in charge of the game have lost the plot, we are screwed. I got post scored by players shorter than me with an 84 strength and 88 interior. News plug and that rec glitch was in 24 as well after the put in a patch.
Guess you aren’t in the loop on what happened on PC 2 days ago. 2pm est the servers went down, could only log in and walk around in city / play the beach courts. Every other game mode everyone would get disconnected walking through the door. They ignored the ticket in the discord with 1000+ comments until 8 pm. At 8pm we got a message from Evan saying “I’ll look into the issue and post updates, but please use the correct format for reporting issues.” No word again until 2pm THE NEXT DAY saying “If you are experiencing this issue log out and back in and it should fix it.” They straight up pushed it under the rug that their servers were down for 24 hours, no apology, no compensation. Even the server status on the website said it was up the entire time. Never seen a company so big handle a situation like that so poorly.
Yeah Badge I enjoyed the game when it came out and I am 65% to Veteran 1 and I’ve been playing BO6 the last 3 days I’m chilling lls it’s crazy I’ll get back on eventually but yeah🤷🏾♂️
One of my friends is a game director for a studio of a bigger company, they have insights and get analytics as to how big the player base of certain games are and how much money that player base spends. NBA 2k’s player base is pretty small compared to other games such as Fortnite, Warzone, other big titles, etc. yet we as NBA 2k players, my friend included, spend waaaayyyyy more money per person (I think he said something along the lines of 10x per player more than other games, but I might be wrong in my memory) than any other game.
Drop steps 3:51 have been cheese since they added them to the game almost 5 years ago. Those who play league, vs, and quick match should know. Bigs can drop stop each other for free all day. Wilt drop step Shaq. Hakeem drop step Wilt. It don’t matter who you use, no one can guard it, but everyone can do it. I hope that all made sense.
we been saying the same thing for like 3 years but we can’t stop playing the game because there’s no other basketball game. Where can we file a lawsuit 🤣🤣😊
I stopped playing 2k this year. The amount of “fun” I had compared to how predatory 2k is isn’t even worth it anymore. We get a half finished product for full price. Glad I saved my $$$$ this year.
You mentioned the engagement and trying to keep players on. It reminded me of this issue I had (still have but I don’t know who to tell about it) a couple days ago. I posted this on the 2k discord and a mod deleted it. So I’ll paste what I said here: Late Rise Rep Not Even Across the Board Ok so I have two friends, for simplicity A and B, and they’re both Rise. The both didn’t receive their Rep Boost when they first went out. Friend A plays everyday, mostly theater but will join my nightly in rec (I play every night as well). He was 75% in starter 1, ready to grind the event that was just cancelled, and then got the boost late (on the 24th). That boost put him at 40% into starter 2. Friend B barely plays (maybe two nights per week) but recently hit Starter 1 right around when the second season started. So because he barely plays, he got on today and saw he got a rep boost. He says he was about 40% into starter 1 but can’t remember. I personally think it was less because, again, barely plays. But let’s go with the 40% into starter one. He gets on today and see he is now a STARTER 4 almost 40% done on his way to STARTER 5. Now I’m elite so I didn’t get any boost. But I do remember 2k making the disclaimer that everyone’s boost is different because of the rank needed more or less. Ok I get that if I went from rookie 2 to maybe starter 1 would be the same as going from starter 4 to starter 5. I get all that, but why is their boost so different???? Only thing I can think of is engagement. They want friend B to see the rep they got and get back on the game. While they know friend A plays every night. That’s the only explanation I can think of tbh. Friend B didn’t even realize they unlocked cap breakers or the hidden animations. A true casual It has honestly left me with such a bad taste because why aren’t they doing things evenly? When it’s elite turn to “win” will I get a 30% boost while my friend gets a 400% boost just cuz I’m on the game each day?
Bro I’ve literally had to stop caring so much about 2k STG bruh this is the ONLY game for hoops we have and as much as I love 2k frfr damn they need to do better simple if ANY OTHER company pulled this they’d be out of business
2k is an asylum the community is toxic and tainted people love 2k no matter what 2k can drop 2k26 as exact duplicate of 2k25 and people will still make it #1 selling sports game 2k may not be for you anymore
They killed the damn Gande by making shooting easier with the bs contest system and TERRIBLE animations player constantly turning around while I’m playing defense shots bad bruh I had to delete it to keep my sainity
Ever since BO6 came out 2K thought they did something to keep us there but in reality made it worse . I can’t shoot the same with the stick. Rhythm Shooting is BROKEN . The button got a slight improvement I guess but For some reason shooting these past few days has been the worst for me .
The fact that you can quit in any game mode and it won’t count towards your record, but if you get error coded it’s an automatic L tells you what this game is fr. All they update on here consistently is the Clothing Store
2k24 with a few minor tweaks was all 2k25 really needed to be. Shooting was fine. I feel like they should’ve kept right stick ripper in the game but just toned it down a bit, keep the same dunk meter , lane steals are perfect after the patch , slight buff to interior d and we would have the best 2k ever
I play rec and proving grounds. 7'0 inside center with max wing span, 94 interior D, 95 strength and it's very rare for me to get drop stepped on. Post lockdown on HOF
Big respect Bage. I can agree that this is not the worst 2k, but man amount of fluke stuff just blowing my mind. I’m not saying that I’m real grindner, but I’m comparative player. The worst part of this game is paint defense. I’m always playing on 6’7-6’10 builds since 2k18. (Playglass) this year I started with 7’0 tall center. I’m 2s player. 1 season it’s all about mid range glitch. 2 season I have 93 interior. 95 strength. 93 block. I +1 so I have on legend and you know what is funny people are making drop step over me or contact dunks back to back. Now I’m playing on my 6,7 play glass and I’m getting the same amount of stops with is 15-20% in a paint😂 only 1 way to win a games (2s) just doble team post and make corner shoot. Most of this “comp” player are running 7’3 99 rebounds, 95 post control, 90+ standing dunk with 5’9 99 3pt 99 steal or perimeter. So I need to pray for miss guard with 99 3pt corner cath and shoot. This is so sad 💩
Nobody talks about how it kicks you out of your squads game if you lose ever since second patch in the beginning it wasn’t like that when the game first came out
One of the worst 2ks in my opinion. Last year was a ton of fun seemingly, I used to play with 4 of my cousins in the rec every night. And now I don't even want to play 2k anymore because it's always giving BS shooting animations and having constant problems with servers, events, animations, badges, and etc...
The thing I hate most is real player percentage layups and close shots.. why on gods green earth do they allow that? Like you legit don’t have to have the attributes to make the shots
You know something that is wild? I'm a member of Rise. I participated in the Season 1 events. AND I STILL have not received my rep boost or T-Shirt. I've been in contact with 2k support and all I've gotten is that they are aware of the issue and roll outs for people that are affected are happening a little at a time. Then give me 35k VC for my trouble. SMH.
The only way 2k will change is if we as a community hurt their pockets. I'm sure when GTA 6 drops they will lose loads of money due to GTA 6 lol ( if gta 6 is good ) .
It’s not even about whether we care or not about the “little” inconveniences of the game..we PAID for this shit. And some how, this multi billion dollar company gives no fucks about fixing it. It’s like if you bought a Tesla and it’s bugging out and every five minutes there’s an issue..don’t you think Tesla is going to fix it? Or an iPhone, or a meal at a restaurant…..why is it we expect allll these other businesses to come correct, but 2k can drop the ball every time you turn around, and it’s just the norm at this point. It’s sad. And they have no incentive to change bc they have zero competition. Wish we could all get together and sue them for monopolizing the bball gaming space..and ruining it
Omg thank you for brining up theater got a homie who runs center asked me to bring a point I have a bronze plate on that build since I don’t use it he has a silver plate, got matched up with one in the top ten and alllll game the center literally hands off the ball directly to the pg and nothing but auto greens
Yeah theater is cooked even in the No squad 3v3 cheaters guys pulling up right in your face green everytime I don’t even go to theater nomore just proving grounds
People wonder why I scale back on multiplayer games it’s cause soo many people nowadays want to cheat or try their butt off it’s not actually fun anymore you either run into really good players or cheaters
Has anyone got a glitch in the middle of a game in park or rec game it kicks you out and says”A problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing, This game will not be counted.” And it does indeed count and kick you from the match into the main menu
@@SeaniiYT bro I restarted my internet, prayed, tried different builds turned my pc off, waited a day and it’s still doing it some games I can play then other games it kicks me out
You want to know how to stop drop steps, add 3 in the key to all game modes.....my problem isn't that you have a unguardable move in the game, its that players can just sit under the basket the entire shot clock
I completely agree w you, I feel like I lose to people who haven’t put as many hours into the game or are just easily not as good as me due to flukes, I swear I can’t play a 1s game because the only play I usually lose is to flukes. (Also I am an above average player, and had a 90% win rate shooting 80% from three in 2k24, now on 25, I shoot 73% from 3 with a 75% win rate)
At first when the game came out I thought it had potential but it’s a bust..wasted money. That patch made it even worse. I really don’t understand how this game is this broke. The cap breaker made sense at first but if it doesn’t actually break a cap then it’s useless…we gotta be able to sue some how lmao
Bro just leave defense alone I’m tired of this, like 2k being greedy catering to casuals, and the more skilled players take the hit, y’all make the game trash for people who barley play it…….um……make it make sense 2k 🤦🏾♂️
Im glad they messed up and canceled the event and made it rec, i don’t get banned if i back out either, just gotta do it before it finds a game. REP was not it for the event, even on x2. too many players to share points for rep. x4 would make sense if they try it again.
Them getting rid of workhorse was a terrible thing (besides needing a badge to pickup the ball in the first place) last year of u had gold or better work horse loose balls were a magnet to ur hands
I truly only play 2k for the love of the game I love basketball but the pure money hungry tactics of 2k and the people making the game showing its obvious they’ve never played basketball before is slowly pushing me away more and more 😭I wish nothing but the worst on the entire 2k developer team

He gets on today and see he is now a STARTER 4 almost 40% done on his way to STARTER 5.
Now I’m elite so I didn’t get any boost. But I do remember 2k making the disclaimer that everyone’s boost is different because of the rank needed more or less. Ok I get that if I went from rookie 2 to maybe starter 1 would be the same as going from starter 4 to starter 5. I get all that, but why is their boost so different????
Only thing I can think of is engagement. They want friend B to see the rep they got and get back on the game. While they know friend A plays every night. That’s the only explanation I can think of tbh. Friend B didn’t even realize they unlocked cap breakers or the hidden animations. A true casual
It has honestly left me with such a bad taste because why aren’t they doing things evenly? When it’s elite turn to “win” will I get a 30% boost while my friend gets a 400% boost just cuz I’m on the game each day?
This is by far the best 2k since 20 like this game is crazy good
25 had the most potential n ended up bein 🗑️.. better than 24 at least
Having HOF challenger us literally what makes me a lock wtf😭
Bro I’ve literally had to stop caring so much about 2k STG bruh this is the ONLY game for hoops we have and as much as I love 2k frfr damn they need to do better simple if ANY OTHER company pulled this they’d be out of business
Been playing 2k for 25 years and i saw commercials coming years ago. They actually held off a lot longer than i thought
2k is an asylum the community is toxic and tainted people love 2k no matter what 2k can drop 2k26 as exact duplicate of 2k25 and people will still make it #1 selling sports game 2k may not be for you anymore
They killed the damn Gande by making shooting easier with the bs contest system and TERRIBLE animations player constantly turning around while I’m playing defense shots bad bruh I had to delete it to keep my sainity
And it didn’t even fix the damn shooting it made it easier for higher 3pt player to make open shots not mid tier shooter like my self with a 85 3 ball
Ever since BO6 came out 2K thought they did something to keep us there but in reality made it worse . I can’t shoot the same with the stick. Rhythm Shooting is BROKEN . The button got a slight improvement I guess but For some reason shooting these past few days has been the worst for me .
The fact that you can quit in any game mode and it won’t count towards your record, but if you get error coded it’s an automatic L tells you what this game is fr. All they update on here consistently is the Clothing Store
2k24 with a few minor tweaks was all 2k25 really needed to be. Shooting was fine. I feel like they should’ve kept right stick ripper in the game but just toned it down a bit, keep the same dunk meter , lane steals are perfect after the patch , slight buff to interior d and we would have the best 2k ever
I play rec and proving grounds. 7'0 inside center with max wing span, 94 interior D, 95 strength and it's very rare for me to get drop stepped on. Post lockdown on HOF
Big respect Bage. I can agree that this is not the worst 2k, but man amount of fluke stuff just blowing my mind. I’m not saying that I’m real grindner, but I’m comparative player. The worst part of this game is paint defense. I’m always playing on 6’7-6’10 builds since 2k18. (Playglass) this year I started with 7’0 tall center. I’m 2s player. 1 season it’s all about mid range glitch. 2 season I have 93 interior. 95 strength. 93 block. I +1 so I have on legend and you know what is funny people are making drop step over me or contact dunks back to back. Now I’m playing on my 6,7 play glass and I’m getting the same amount of stops with is 15-20% in a paint😂 only 1 way to win a games (2s) just doble team post and make corner shoot. Most of this “comp” player are running 7’3 99 rebounds, 95 post control, 90+ standing dunk with 5’9 99 3pt 99 steal or perimeter. So I need to pray for miss guard with 99 3pt corner cath and shoot. This is so sad 💩
The main problem is that 2k has no competition. We need another game that gives them competition
Nobody talks about how it kicks you out of your squads game if you lose ever since second patch in the beginning it wasn’t like that when the game first came out
One of the worst 2ks in my opinion. Last year was a ton of fun seemingly, I used to play with 4 of my cousins in the rec every night. And now I don't even want to play 2k anymore because it's always giving BS shooting animations and having constant problems with servers, events, animations, badges, and etc...
The thing I hate most is real player percentage layups and close shots.. why on gods green earth do they allow that? Like you legit don’t have to have the attributes to make the shots
I knew it was putting my hands down 🤣🤣🤣
You know something that is wild? I'm a member of Rise. I participated in the Season 1 events. AND I STILL have not received my rep boost or T-Shirt. I've been in contact with 2k support and all I've gotten is that they are aware of the issue and roll outs for people that are affected are happening a little at a time. Then give me 35k VC for my trouble. SMH.
i think records reset is a good thing for 2k it feels refreshing to get a restart to my record shows i much improved type shi🤷🏿♂️
Triple Threat, Triple Threat Online and CoOp should work like theatre, having it in a “park” style setting has ruined the experience with all the lag.
The only way 2k will change is if we as a community hurt their pockets. I'm sure when GTA 6 drops they will lose loads of money due to GTA 6 lol ( if gta 6 is good ) .
The same company that makes 2k makes gta shxt is bunk asf
It’s not even about whether we care or not about the “little” inconveniences of the game..we PAID for this shit. And some how, this multi billion dollar company gives no fucks about fixing it. It’s like if you bought a Tesla and it’s bugging out and every five minutes there’s an issue..don’t you think Tesla is going to fix it? Or an iPhone, or a meal at a restaurant…..why is it we expect allll these other businesses to come correct, but 2k can drop the ball every time you turn around, and it’s just the norm at this point. It’s sad. And they have no incentive to change bc they have zero competition. Wish we could all get together and sue them for monopolizing the bball gaming space..and ruining it
Omg thank you for brining up theater got a homie who runs center asked me to bring a point I have a bronze plate on that build since I don’t use it he has a silver plate, got matched up with one in the top ten and alllll game the center literally hands off the ball directly to the pg and nothing but auto greens
Every other game I play a cheater in there lol.
Yeah theater is cooked even in the No squad 3v3 cheaters guys pulling up right in your face green everytime I don’t even go to theater nomore just proving grounds
The difference between 2k and RUclips, while both are tryna keep you locked in, is that RUclips don't make you miserable being on it
True🤣
It’s not even November yet and the game is boring 2k need to bring that the creative team from 2k17-20
I wish us comp community could just go to current gen lmaoo gameplay so much better
I’m still mad they changed the compression shirt for no reason at all except being nerds. NOFUN2k25 :)
People wonder why I scale back on multiplayer games it’s cause soo many people nowadays want to cheat or try their butt off it’s not actually fun anymore you either run into really good players or cheaters
Has anyone got a glitch in the middle of a game in park or rec game it kicks you out and says”A problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing, This game will not be counted.” And it does indeed count and kick you from the match into the main menu
Yea
Just close ur game it doesn’t glitch
@@SeaniiYT bro I restarted my internet, prayed, tried different builds turned my pc off, waited a day and it’s still doing it some games I can play then other games it kicks me out
Making a statement against the Kia ad then running a PP ad before the video starts is comical
Did you pay $70 to watch this video?
Bruh we don’t want them to make shit easier … we just walk if they make shit LOGICALLY BETTER
I stop using the meter 4 years ago they could take it out all together i would be cool with that
You want to know how to stop drop steps, add 3 in the key to all game modes.....my problem isn't that you have a unguardable move in the game, its that players can just sit under the basket the entire shot clock
Yea 2k got us again, we playing a highly decorated empty box
Are Minecraft devs also 2K devs? They’re slow.
I completely agree w you, I feel like I lose to people who haven’t put as many hours into the game or are just easily not as good as me due to flukes, I swear I can’t play a 1s game because the only play I usually lose is to flukes. (Also I am an above average player, and had a 90% win rate shooting 80% from three in 2k24, now on 25, I shoot 73% from 3 with a 75% win rate)
I’m glad that I did the vc method before they patched it, if I didn’t do it the method I probably wouldn’t be playing with my friends rn
For some reason since this patch all my shots are all late all of a sudden game is broken
At first when the game came out I thought it had potential but it’s a bust..wasted money. That patch made it even worse. I really don’t understand how this game is this broke. The cap breaker made sense at first but if it doesn’t actually break a cap then it’s useless…we gotta be able to sue some how lmao
You should make a video just reacting and showing us clips so more people can see... 2k no longer cares about their consumers.
As a Casual Myteam Player or n general,,They Should Fix this game cuz It has more holes than Swiss Cheese
Recorded way more lowlights this year than highlights… Great game.
I have an 88 interior defense that 85 strength on my 6 foot six and BS happens in the paint all day
Bro this is the same complaints every year 😂 I’m so glad i didn’t bought this game. 2K ain’t getting my money no time soon.
Old gen is the move guys, it's just like 2k20 try it out!!
Bro just leave defense alone I’m tired of this, like 2k being greedy catering to casuals, and the more skilled players take the hit, y’all make the game trash for people who barley play it…….um……make it make sense 2k 🤦🏾♂️
Im glad they messed up and canceled the event and made it rec, i don’t get banned if i back out either, just gotta do it before it finds a game. REP was not it for the event, even on x2. too many players to share points for rep. x4 would make sense if they try it again.
TALK TO ME BADGE !!
No nigga kiss me
get a life
Them getting rid of workhorse was a terrible thing (besides needing a badge to pickup the ball in the first place) last year of u had gold or better work horse loose balls were a magnet to ur hands
You get banned mid game when you quit to many times and start a game before they can issue the ban..
Badge plug should post cod content for bo6 too you can be the badge and loadout plug 😂😂
I dont even grind for quests. Quests suck. Why isn't anyone complaining about the amount of rep we get. Thats trash. We have to grind way too much
U should've said stop post scoring. Quit glazing. U literally know that chit is wayyyy over powered
I hate the inconsistent shooting and the rng animations lmao it’s in everything even the dribbling
I truly only play 2k for the love of the game I love basketball but the pure money hungry tactics of 2k and the people making the game showing its obvious they’ve never played basketball before is slowly pushing me away more and more 😭I wish nothing but the worst on the entire 2k developer team
