Every time I'm playing online I tell people this game shows how dumb down basketball has gotten and it shows you younger kids don't know nothing about real basketball
@@allenlegacy242facts. I’ve been called a “Facilitator” because I don’t just try to dribble all over the place and ball hog. I play 2k for fun but I also love winning and playing team ball.
I miss playing basketball video games. Ever since 2k servers started disappearing along with my vc. I was done. My mind is blown that people defend this company. Player base is down but profits are up. They’re gonna suck the life out of the little but of players they have left. I hope they all go broke buying 2K VC and end up homeless like Squidward in his cardboard box and tin can!!!
Two things I remember about the glory days of 2k15-17 1.Dribble spams were easy steals, if you did a spin move into a player without them pressing anything it would knock the ball loose and you would get picked. 2. Moving Screens existed and screens that worked didnt have longlasting animations that glitched the defender. Defence needs to be buffed. Big time.
For real THE COMMUNITY IS SO STUPID! They trash talk Chris smoove but forget that 7’3 stretches are going to be OP, possibly 7’5 post scorers, and blinded by nostalgia and order 2k24 all because of Kobe. Disgusting marketing of profiting off a dead man like madden did in 23. Also it is so Pay TO PLAY MYCAREER!! The community in general is a hot Cheeto ratchet girl mentality. Offense will always be over defense every single year. For real though, W rant and love to see small streamers care for 2k more than 2k itself! You a beast for making this video 🔥
This video deserves a million views. Great Editing and telling the gods honest truth. The sad thing about it is, 2K doesn't even need to change the game that much. The Fanboys are gonna buy 2K every year spend $3000 dollars on the game anyway. I personally haven't played 2K since 2018 because I saw the Play coming. I knew where they were taking this game. Now they are literally making the game pay to win.
They should but what it really should come down to is if u know how to play defense in the game….they put u at a disadvantage when they make u overly run in an opposite direction from the guy your guarding
Finally someone that talks about the issues aside from just the VC. The issues go FAR beyond that. Gameplay needs to go back to how it used to be before 2K21
The worst part is the lack of body up animation on defense. You could have a player with 99 strenght and perimeter and interior, you will still be like a ghost for the offense.
2K is the poster child for giving you the least but asking the most. They don't even advertise, they watered down My Career (probably didn't want to do the work), and now there's a Battle Pass when they have a $150 version of the game. Bro that's crazy
Imagine, just imagine for a second, that there is no VC, and your player gets the attributes with your play, and training drills, just imagine.. even in FIFA in a career you get stats when scoring goals like if you score 100 goals you will get +3 to finishing, I mean is that really that crazy? Or it just makes sense
Or even better madden where if u picked a superstar career u could start as basically an 82 ovr. U could also start as a late round pick or undrafted, but you’re development would be faster. I may hate EA as a company, but I won’t lie they showed they cared a little
For 2K21, you could fund a new build with 75K - 100K VC to make its overall to 84. It costed you only $20 to get your player (depending on if you already played games with that player before bumping up their overall by grinding) to get to 84 overall. I did that with 4 separate players and just straight grinded them from 84 to 90+. Increasing the VC prices and people still are falling for them is crazy to me.
This is why I liked NBA live 19 defense. As incomplete as the game was, I had fun playing defense because there was laws set in play. You had the ability to get a red , yellow or green animation. If you got a green and timed the steal right then you get the ball. I rarely felt like I was out of my league and if felt more fair playing defense on the wing. The 2k community is okay with exploiting and cheese and the devs encourage it with badges. I'll never spend my money on this shit
I played in two different money Leagues for Live 19 and yeah there were some broken builds like the wing defender and stretch big but it felt like almost every build in that came could be utilized if you actually worked as a team. I was a Point Gawd and I still have multiple screenshots of me dropping 15+ dimes. Or getting triple doubles with steals or blocks. It wasn't perfect but it felt like you actually had a chance to play basketball in that game.
Spot on… the dribbling community has ruined 2k since 16. If I did RUclips content this would’ve been the first video I would make. Keep fighting the good fight sir
I’ve been saying. Dribbling and offense does not need to be nerfed, we just need better defense to match it. Every year y’all complain about offense and then they nerf it and the game is boring.
@@Culley91 as long as the dribbling mechanics can be aggressively exploited with the walk backs etc, it’s not fine. It doesn’t matter how good the defense system may get until that’s fixed at the root.
Especially since 2k21 and 22 the disparity got so ridiculous between offense and defense that I realized you can’t even in the slightest treat it like IRL defense aka reactionary. I started treating it like how you would treat 50/50s in fighting games (attacks that are too quick to block on reaction so u have to predict them) and it did help. most players are hella predictable and you can force them to bump you. But we need to be rewarded for good defense/bumps.
Yea it’s not the community fault for being so thirsty that they let 2k squirt in their mouth year after year. It’s because there isn’t another company that’s not willing to piss all over the community too🤣🤣🤣. Yea 2k community is doomed with abused wife syndrome.
Literally every single thing in this video spoken was straight up facts. Almost every 2K RUclipsrs will never speak on this shi so it was nice for someone to actually speak the truth. Despite having a 91% win rec & a 67% 3 this yr from playin my own style, I only lost to spam dribblers, speed boosters, & pick spammers. You got a sub bro
last year i told people to stop buying the game, the amount of mental gymnastics i got to justify why it doesnt matter could win more olympic medals than the usa and russia and china combined
You’re saying this as if you’re the only one to ever said “stop buying the game”, there’s thousands of videos saying the same thing every year. And in those videos it’s clips of those same people playing that latest 2K. Everyone wants to “stand up” to the company but really just talk shit to hear themselves talk. People who stopped playing ain’t letting the world know cuz they legit don’t care about the game, it’s the ones who do this every year with these videos to turn around and be a hypocrite
W video you def gonna blow up some day i don't even touch 2k no more because it's so unrealistic o'd rather play ball irl great vid tho keep posting more
Thank you so much for me being actual Hooper I've always wanted a realistic basketball game based off of physics and not animation based I have hated Left Right ever since I first seen it it takes no skill and it makes this game so unrealistic to play against other people
you gotta be young so i can understand why u said that but 2k havent been good since 11 and 16 as i hear really was an exception and not the rule of the 2k train to toilet town
At least ur honest. I'm buying it too, I mean we all have things we hate about the game, but it's still fun. I don't even touch the online modes, shit is just TOO ridiculous
my biggest pet peeves: • 100% smothered, shot goes straight in. • “good shot contest” opposing players shot goes in like i wasn’t playing defense at all
Defense being off was exactly how I felt. I grinded 2k15-20 as a kid and hopped on 24 today. Genuinely felt impossible to guard anyone. Another issue is the build gap between an 80 vs 90+. Like u said with a badge countering another if you don’t have that badge it’s actually impossible to win. Miss the 2k17 days when build were 20$ and it took 2-3 hours of my career to get gold badges.
Idk why I keep trying to tell my brother to stop playing this game for the pass 2 years and keep telling him it’s the same shit different year.and he’s always telling me”gotta grind,Gotta get on my grind,grind time”and proceeds to scream and yell when shit fails in the game.the game is a waste of $$$ and with each copy that releases yearly I could put that towards good ass PC upgrades.
Irl when some spaz dribbles, they literally go nowhere and you don’t have to put much effort to keep them in front of you; and then they have little to no energy to take and make a shot, specially anything stepping back or sideways, or at the rim, let alone with any type of contact. It takes a serious shot maker to be able to score, and even then it’s not at a high percentage, and the flip side is they have no energy for defense on the other end. If they could implement that, plus ability to be rewarded for defending correctly, things would even out. Let them spam, but make the penalty hurt them on the defensive side
EXACTLY! I wish there were more ppl that had an understanding for actually good game design. I’ve also never seen ppl address the fact that u can negate the boosts being lost with LT/L2. The majority of the community doesn’t want a balanced game.
@@sawcedup I agree! Just even it out on defense! I think if you lose an adrenaline bar from dribbling, the next 1/2 defensive possessions, you should lose that stamina on the other end, and be a liability. Something like that would really tone down the cheesing because your points won’t matter if you are just gonna give up points on the other end. But like you said, and smoove said, people aren’t good at something on the offensive side of the game, complain, and defense gets nerfed, with offense getting buffed, and the cycle continues. Then same people complain the game is the same every year, and don’t get they’re the reason.
i’d be standing in the paint WIDE OPEN and they will say sum like “the spacing is bad, 5 OUT!” instead of giving me the ball for a wide open standing layup…
ONG. Bro 2k has absolutely killed basketball to the point that it’s just 3s and MAYBE at the end of the shot clock u dump it to your big. If u even DARE to take a wide open middy they call u weird. Braindead ppl
as a 2k vet since the very first in 99 on Dreamcast...saw this coming in 2k13....played 2k14 which was officially the last one i played....tried to tell ppl since 2k13 but no one wanted to listen....i told you so. i play 2k11 and even though its bad and super scripted...i play 2k12 because of the UBR mod...and to relive all of the history of the NBA and the ABA its worth dealing with the cheese with adjustable sliders to have a lil 2k fun
You earned a sub from me because real talk my first time playing NBA was 2k23 and it is the worst multiplayer experience ive ever had purely because id have like an 86 ovr after a 105 hours of grinding and still they would blow past me and just rim run 24/7 or spam to go right or left and eventually id give him space to shoot and he would immediately green it not to mention i did this both on PC and Console the community is ass but the game has insurmountable amounts of potential
Preach!! 2K has been broken for years. It rewards cheap game tactics and a pay to win strategy, rather than sound basketball IQ and dedicated grinding .They have a monopoly on the basketball game industry so they will continue taking advantage of people for years to come.
2k defense have been garbage for YEARS. I been saying this for the longest. The defense is running through quicksand and sliding all over the place while the offense has speed boost after speed boost. That's a design choice. It's that way on purpose to make the offense look good. The game is literally designed to make the offense always have an advantage, and they will never fix it because all this community cares about is offense. Every year, all I hear people complain about is dribbling and shooting. People think defense is just steals, which is why you had all these people who just spam square to the point where they basically had to patch on ball steals out of the game. The 2k community doesn't care about playing basketball.
Yeah we can 70 dollars for a game 100 for upgrade player vc for boost and clothes bro even call of duty and madden ain’t doing that so yes if 2k a billion dollars company can’t fix issues like defending and greed it’s on them
This was fire..keep Flaming 2k.. you should make a video flaming the monetization and Battlepass BS in detail.. Dudes on twitter showing they spent 1000s of dollars on 2k23 its insane
Remember when a green shot was supposed to be a garuanteed hit, but not the only way you can hit a shot on 2k? Pepridge farms remembers. Seriously why tf would a 92 rated 3 point shooter miss just because it's half a centimeter away from being green. Also 100% agree defense is a joke. That's why one year I just tried to run the Chino Hills offense on MyTeam.
I stopped playing 2k at 2k19 or 20 once mypark was empty af for some reason. I stopped Madden right there as well. The only way to complain is to stop buying the game and make their sales drop.
Most people who play the game are kids 4-17 years old. -kids will buy it no matter what. So 2k is treating the game like shit but with more colors and wack prizes to get kids to swipe. -they afraid to hop on spot -they only play with their squads -kids spamming you chat invites to just demand you the ball the whole game -game is overpriced -same trash animations -the park looks terrible -defense is dumb, best defending mechanics were in 16. You were not greening in people faces or shooting crazy fades. That even if you were a 70 overall, Aslong as you stood in front, you had a chance. - why is simple jumping up so slow, or take 2 steps up to even jump. Like why…. And my player is skating while I’m guarding someone forcing me to move over and freeze…
Crazy to cause when i use to play i knew this community wss fucked doing 17 when people would ask for more realistic basketball wnd they'd get jumped form 15 different directions I blame the early youtubers making the spam shit popular and making fun of games like nba live and people who want more real basketball
Ive been playing since NBA2K. 2k 24 is unrecognizable as a basketball sim. I got 3o mins in and turned it off. I was disgusted at how bad and lazy this company has become. The title is correct, it is 100 percent the community's fault. Community, we have the power to change these games.
I Should probably add: The poor defensive design is definitely intentional, because the computer does not have the sliding or (obviously) reaction issues that players have. The computer reads your inputs and ALWAYS gives itself a favorable animation to keep up, especially on HoF.
Reality is there’s no team basketball. Everyone wants to score and if you’re playing with randoms OR with a friend or 2 and go in the rec you will guaranteed be sold by the other duo/trio even if you don’t sell them. I believe it’s more of a toxicity and selfish community in general. It’s points over wins so people will find the easiest route and look for those spams online. Even if they get patched the community will cry about it. Now with the micro transactions it’s going down hill but yet they have 0 competition which has us by our b***s. Sucks
Since this video is 2 months old. Im from the future. In NBA 2k24, spam dribble, spam dribble, spam dribble, spam dribble, spam dribble, behind a screen, behind a screen, behind a screen, behind a screen, left right, left eight, dribble through my body 6x, and.....GREEN! Basically, you were right. 😔
exactly why I didn't buy it this year. I bought it last year, like every year before that and ended up playing for like 6 hours. I've been playing every year since 2k16 and love playing as a SF, but if you make a SF and play on line, be ready to be put in C or PF position and never get the ball. All these kids just wanna dribble for 24 seconds and then shoot it from half court. you make any other build than a PG, you'll be stuck playing C position with 4 PG's on your team, all of them want to do the same thing. it's not basketball anymore.
honestly it’s because of steph curry changing basketball because steph curry first started popping off everyone wanted to shoot 3s but unlike real life where curry only needs a little space at the time it was not the same in 2k, and because this play-style was so new no one knew how to get open 3s so the community complained because everyone wants to be curry and just chuck up 3s all game which is fine if that’s how you play, but 2k chose to just nerf defense to allow for more open 3s instead of implementing a true contest system, now there’s no defense and no contest and you’re just out there on an island hoping to get lucky, if i wanted to be guessing every second i’d be playing the show where i gotta be guessing pitches
Finally, someone complains about defense. Apparently they are removing quick first step and add a badge to help defense keep up. (I don’t believe it would help much) that’s why 1v1 court and 2v2 courts always seemed broken to me and just whoever exploits the game better wins😂 As a person, that plays my team you can tell a person who comes to my team from park and just dribbles his ass off and get mad when your switching cover passing lanes instead of letting him speed boost around my traffic cone of a defender😂
Anybody else notice how its nearly impossible to close out on a perimeter shooter?.....(like your player will literally run in place for a second when you try to close out 😂😂😂)
This video was funny and had great points I agree with. I’m glad people have decided to speak up on how bad and money hungry the game is. Every 2k I’ve given park a try but it is literally brainless gameplay. My main game mode is Myteam but since they ruined that there’s no way in hell I’m going to buy this game. Micro transactions run the game now and it’s really sad.
I don’t buy 2ks on release anymore. I wait until playoffs cuz they are always on sale. Just started my career on 23 with 200k vc cuz I played my league for about a year with player lock. Honestly was a better experience. I join the neighborhood and see mascots, knights and a guy wearing a fuckin swimming floatie. Somebody else had a damn oppressor like thing from gta. It’s dumb as hell. Why do I need a skateboard? Why am I on a boat? I knew once this neighborhood shit started it was going downhill. I miss the old 2k mycareer when you just had post game interviews and shit. I don’t even bother playing against people. The team practice facilities are actually good. Workouts are good and that’s about all I do. 2k is dead we need a real basketball game
@@Razxer it has nothing to do with basketball. I guess cuz they’re shitty rewards. Give us some free shoes, a dope basketball or something. An oppressor like vehicle has no business in a game like this. The map isn’t even big enough for that
Hahaha so true. Defense is always so underpowered… That part of video where the dude with ball didn’t move (probably the controller was laying somewhere) and defender could steal the ball😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much for me being actual Hooper I've always wanted a realistic basketball game based off of physics and not animation based I have hated Left Right ever since I first seen it it takes no skill and it makes this game so unrealistic to play against other people
All I want is an actual basketball game that feels like an actual basketball game
Broooooooo!!!! I almost choked on my food watching this shiii, so relatable and accurate asf 😅☠️
Bro speaking facts the last good 2k was 2k20 🙏💯
I was broken when they got rid of the servers that supported 2k20. Smh
Nah 2k 16
@@mickmouse-wo8zofacts every since 17 was made Shit been ass left right really fucked up the whole point of a simulation
you gotta be young so i can understand why u said that but 2k havent been good since 11 and 16 as i hear really was an exception and not the rule of the 2k train to toilet town
@@mickmouse-wo8zo 20 was still way better than this garbage though.
I love seeing someone calling 2k out great video 🔥I’m sick of 2ks greed and manipulation
you just earned a sub brodie someone with a brain finally making a video and speaking pure facts love to you bro (still buying the game tho
😂😂)
At least ur honest. I'm buying it too, I mean we all have things we hate about the game, but it's still fun. I don't even touch the online modes, shit is just TOO ridiculous
my biggest pet peeves:
• 100% smothered, shot goes straight in.
• “good shot contest” opposing players shot goes in like i wasn’t playing defense at all
Haven't played 2k since 2k19. Can't imagine people still play this game.
I've been playing since 2K9, and I'm 20 seconds in.... I LOVE THIS VIDEO! THANK YOU! Movement in this game is like a bunch of Tanks
Defense being off was exactly how I felt. I grinded 2k15-20 as a kid and hopped on 24 today. Genuinely felt impossible to guard anyone. Another issue is the build gap between an 80 vs 90+. Like u said with a badge countering another if you don’t have that badge it’s actually impossible to win. Miss the 2k17 days when build were 20$ and it took 2-3 hours of my career to get gold badges.
jeeeeez, cooked the whole community brah :D good shit, love the vid
Idk why I keep trying to tell my brother to stop playing this game for the pass 2 years and keep telling him it’s the same shit different year.and he’s always telling me”gotta grind,Gotta get on my grind,grind time”and proceeds to scream and yell when shit fails in the game.the game is a waste of $$$ and with each copy that releases yearly I could put that towards good ass PC upgrades.
Your player reacts to every move the offense makes no matter the defensive rating the ratings mean nothing in this game
I'm playing 2k22 until the server closes ... I'm getting my money's worth. Great video 💯
This video aged well.
i knew i wasn't the only one.. that plug kid be clickbait king
Irl when some spaz dribbles, they literally go nowhere and you don’t have to put much effort to keep them in front of you; and then they have little to no energy to take and make a shot, specially anything stepping back or sideways, or at the rim, let alone with any type of contact. It takes a serious shot maker to be able to score, and even then it’s not at a high percentage, and the flip side is they have no energy for defense on the other end. If they could implement that, plus ability to be rewarded for defending correctly, things would even out. Let them spam, but make the penalty hurt them on the defensive side
EXACTLY! I wish there were more ppl that had an understanding for actually good game design. I’ve also never seen ppl address the fact that u can negate the boosts being lost with LT/L2. The majority of the community doesn’t want a balanced game.
@@sawcedup I agree! Just even it out on defense! I think if you lose an adrenaline bar from dribbling, the next 1/2 defensive possessions, you should lose that stamina on the other end, and be a liability. Something like that would really tone down the cheesing because your points won’t matter if you are just gonna give up points on the other end. But like you said, and smoove said, people aren’t good at something on the offensive side of the game, complain, and defense gets nerfed, with offense getting buffed, and the cycle continues. Then same people complain the game is the same every year, and don’t get they’re the reason.
i’d be standing in the paint WIDE OPEN and they will say sum like
“the spacing is bad, 5 OUT!” instead of giving me the ball for a wide open standing layup…
ONG. Bro 2k has absolutely killed basketball to the point that it’s just 3s and MAYBE at the end of the shot clock u dump it to your big. If u even DARE to take a wide open middy they call u weird. Braindead ppl
@@sawcedup blessings bro, i’m glad you agree
as a 2k vet since the very first in 99 on Dreamcast...saw this coming in 2k13....played 2k14 which was officially the last one i played....tried to tell ppl since 2k13 but no one wanted to listen....i told you so. i play 2k11 and even though its bad and super scripted...i play 2k12 because of the UBR mod...and to relive all of the history of the NBA and the ABA its worth dealing with the cheese with adjustable sliders to have a lil 2k fun
You earned a sub from me because real talk my first time playing NBA was 2k23 and it is the worst multiplayer experience ive ever had purely because id have like an 86 ovr after a 105 hours of grinding and still they would blow past me and just rim run 24/7 or spam to go right or left and eventually id give him space to shoot and he would immediately green it not to mention i did this both on PC and Console the community is ass but the game has insurmountable amounts of potential
Nothing but love and respect for a youtuber that tells the TRUTH
This aged well! Worst 2k I’ve ever played
All facts. Community made this into an arcade game
Preach!! 2K has been broken for years. It rewards cheap game tactics and a pay to win strategy, rather than sound basketball IQ and dedicated grinding .They have a monopoly on the basketball game industry so they will continue taking advantage of people for years to come.
2k defense have been garbage for YEARS. I been saying this for the longest. The defense is running through quicksand and sliding all over the place while the offense has speed boost after speed boost. That's a design choice. It's that way on purpose to make the offense look good. The game is literally designed to make the offense always have an advantage, and they will never fix it because all this community cares about is offense. Every year, all I hear people complain about is dribbling and shooting. People think defense is just steals, which is why you had all these people who just spam square to the point where they basically had to patch on ball steals out of the game. The 2k community doesn't care about playing basketball.
NBA has been on a similar trajectory
Eating crayons and not passing 6th grade is lit for 2k community members
This vid needs more recognition fr ❤
On Jesus Christ i hate this community lowkey can't even blame 2k
Yeah we can 70 dollars for a game 100 for upgrade player vc for boost and clothes bro even call of duty and madden ain’t doing that so yes if 2k a billion dollars company can’t fix issues like defending and greed it’s on them
@@unrealaim9494 why would 2k make a good game when the community always buy a terrible one?
@@obeyhuncho Because the community a bunch of boot lickers only thing worse than 2k is the community
Ima blame them too and ima blame this dumbass community
dont take God's name in vain
Ngl I found this after it dropped, and I’m low key enjoying it this year but holy shit dawg u funny asf definitely earned my sub👍🏿
This was fire..keep Flaming 2k.. you should make a video flaming the monetization and Battlepass BS in detail.. Dudes on twitter showing they spent 1000s of dollars on 2k23 its insane
bro speaking facts, still I got somehow my fun in this game by not taking it that serious anymore lol
the worst company in the world award goes to 2k!!!!
Remember when a green shot was supposed to be a garuanteed hit, but not the only way you can hit a shot on 2k? Pepridge farms remembers. Seriously why tf would a 92 rated 3 point shooter miss just because it's half a centimeter away from being green. Also 100% agree defense is a joke. That's why one year I just tried to run the Chino Hills offense on MyTeam.
I stopped playing 2k at 2k19 or 20 once mypark was empty af for some reason. I stopped Madden right there as well. The only way to complain is to stop buying the game and make their sales drop.
Thank you someone had to say it. The 2k community is ignorant and delusional.
Most people who play the game are kids 4-17 years old.
-kids will buy it no matter what. So 2k is treating the game like shit but with more colors and wack prizes to get kids to swipe.
-they afraid to hop on spot
-they only play with their squads
-kids spamming you chat invites to just demand you the ball the whole game
-game is overpriced
-same trash animations
-the park looks terrible
-defense is dumb, best defending mechanics were in 16. You were not greening in people faces or shooting crazy fades. That even if you were a 70 overall, Aslong as you stood in front, you had a chance.
- why is simple jumping up so slow, or take 2 steps up to even jump. Like why…. And my player is skating while I’m guarding someone forcing me to move over and freeze…
Totally agree im not getting it until he makes it free like fortnight in order to justify the heavy microtransactions in the game
great vid bru u gon blow soon 😭😭‼️
Crazy to cause when i use to play i knew this community wss fucked doing 17 when people would ask for more realistic basketball wnd they'd get jumped form 15 different directions
I blame the early youtubers making the spam shit popular and making fun of games like nba live and people who want more real basketball
The go to move for centers is to just sprint sideways in the paint because you can’t keep up
4:26 I would kill for a new basketball game to come out
Bro you're so right the community sucks I hate that I even play it
I jumped from 2k14 to 2k16
We wouldn’t dribble glitch if they gave us ACTUAL STREETBALL ANIMATIONS
Ive been playing since NBA2K. 2k 24 is unrecognizable as a basketball sim. I got 3o mins in and turned it off. I was disgusted at how bad and lazy this company has become. The title is correct, it is 100 percent the community's fault. Community, we have the power to change these games.
8:21 had me thinking about pushing in 19😭
I Should probably add: The poor defensive design is definitely intentional, because the computer does not have the sliding or (obviously) reaction issues that players have. The computer reads your inputs and ALWAYS gives itself a favorable animation to keep up, especially on HoF.
Reality is there’s no team basketball. Everyone wants to score and if you’re playing with randoms OR with a friend or 2 and go in the rec you will guaranteed be sold by the other duo/trio even if you don’t sell them.
I believe it’s more of a toxicity and selfish community in general. It’s points over wins so people will find the easiest route and look for those spams online. Even if they get patched the community will cry about it.
Now with the micro transactions it’s going down hill but yet they have 0 competition which has us by our b***s.
Sucks
Without a harrrrd reset, its just going to get worse. The whole industry needs a reset
Yeah 2K community is corrupt lmaooo we know what I feel
They need to steal NBA lives defense... the controller vibrates on contact and you can feel which direction players are trying to go
Since this video is 2 months old. Im from the future.
In NBA 2k24, spam dribble, spam dribble, spam dribble, spam dribble, spam dribble, behind a screen, behind a screen, behind a screen, behind a screen, left right, left eight, dribble through my body 6x, and.....GREEN!
Basically, you were right.
😔
Why I don't even f w the online part of 2K, I tried for about 2 days and realized it's just unplayable
exactly why I didn't buy it this year. I bought it last year, like every year before that and ended up playing for like 6 hours. I've been playing every year since 2k16 and love playing as a SF, but if you make a SF and play on line, be ready to be put in C or PF position and never get the ball. All these kids just wanna dribble for 24 seconds and then shoot it from half court. you make any other build than a PG, you'll be stuck playing C position with 4 PG's on your team, all of them want to do the same thing. it's not basketball anymore.
I'm still playing 2k22 and 16 I don't wanna play 24 it's TRASH.
honestly it’s because of steph curry changing basketball because steph curry first started popping off everyone wanted to shoot 3s but unlike real life where curry only needs a little space at the time it was not the same in 2k, and because this play-style was so new no one knew how to get open 3s so the community complained because everyone wants to be curry and just chuck up 3s all game which is fine if that’s how you play, but 2k chose to just nerf defense to allow for more open 3s instead of implementing a true contest system, now there’s no defense and no contest and you’re just out there on an island hoping to get lucky, if i wanted to be guessing every second i’d be playing the show where i gotta be guessing pitches
Finally, someone complains about defense. Apparently they are removing quick first step and add a badge to help defense keep up. (I don’t believe it would help much) that’s why 1v1 court and 2v2 courts always seemed broken to me and just whoever exploits the game better wins😂
As a person, that plays my team you can tell a person who comes to my team from park and just dribbles his ass off and get mad when your switching cover passing lanes instead of letting him speed boost around my traffic cone of a defender😂
6:09 dude popped up with a hoodie dribbling🤣🤣🤣
Everytime i play at the park all my teammates do nothing but bitch about me. Its funny.
Ight you earned a subscriber😂 shit was funny asl but you keeping it real.
The community has taken over there is no stopping them it’s like GTA Online 2.0
2k hast been good since 2k19 waist of money and time
Preach 🙏🏾
Ong
Another perspective of 60 hours... it takes 60 hours to play Red Dead Redemption 2.....
Need a 2k25 vid soon
Anybody else notice how its nearly impossible to close out on a perimeter shooter?.....(like your player will literally run in place for a second when you try to close out 😂😂😂)
To be honest, MyPlayer is the worse thing to happen to NBA2K. Myplayer and Mycareer should be a game on it's own.
I'm considered a old head now and i approve this message 🤣🤣🤣
This video was funny and had great points I agree with. I’m glad people have decided to speak up on how bad and money hungry the game is. Every 2k I’ve given park a try but it is literally brainless gameplay. My main game mode is Myteam but since they ruined that there’s no way in hell I’m going to buy this game. Micro transactions run the game now and it’s really sad.
I don’t buy 2ks on release anymore. I wait until playoffs cuz they are always on sale. Just started my career on 23 with 200k vc cuz I played my league for about a year with player lock. Honestly was a better experience. I join the neighborhood and see mascots, knights and a guy wearing a fuckin swimming floatie. Somebody else had a damn oppressor like thing from gta. It’s dumb as hell. Why do I need a skateboard? Why am I on a boat? I knew once this neighborhood shit started it was going downhill. I miss the old 2k mycareer when you just had post game interviews and shit. I don’t even bother playing against people.
The team practice facilities are actually good. Workouts are good and that’s about all I do. 2k is dead we need a real basketball game
why are u complaining about the awards people wear? or just the fact 2k gives shitty awards?
@@Razxer it has nothing to do with basketball. I guess cuz they’re shitty rewards. Give us some free shoes, a dope basketball or something. An oppressor like vehicle has no business in a game like this. The map isn’t even big enough for that
Hahaha so true. Defense is always so underpowered…
That part of video where the dude with ball didn’t move (probably the controller was laying somewhere) and defender could steal the ball😂😂😂😂
