Went into the rec with randoms for the first time during double rep (bc my irl’s were at work) and the pg was mad bc he didn’t touch the ball on the first play after tip off .. he then decided to play no defense, no offense, and whenever he got the ball he would hold in until 1 second and pass it to me… then proceeded to say “ if you wanted to play point guard you should’ve made a pg” .. anyone can run pg if you have court awareness and the ability to pass Man I was tripping out when the whole team was yelling at him
@@JriichfxYo it’s that on top of people selling then going cold or people straight up giving up because they didn’t get the ball enough or can’t make a shot to save a life .. sht be sad and annoying
They really don't give a damn about our time fr. I had one goal, which was to hit starter 3 so I can get that lil plus 5 and play when I feel like it...and that shit took forever 😂
Everybody that gets on the mic on 2K has that mentality that they are never wrong. When I tell them how they can be improving as a team player, they turn racist and aggressive for no reason. Shits sad.
I feel that I normally played without a mic and just listened but when I started getting blamed for dumb things that weren’t my fault I bought one and ever since then I hit them with logic they STFU magically .
Bro I was playing on my PG , I had 5 points and about 12-13 assists , setting up the offense and getting everyone involved , we were winning and the center decided to sell in the 4th because he wasn’t “getting the ball as much “ literally brought tears to my eyes bruh I didn’t play the game for a week after that
Hope you feeling better now man. It's straight ridiculous man how ppl are playing in the rec. They can take their ahh to park with that. There's not enough PGs that play the way you do in the Rec
This community hates slashers and inside builds !!!!!!!!!! I’m tired of it I’ve been a slasher since 2k14 ! Ig I’m too old for this game I’m tired of everybody thinking their Steph Curry
If you sit it the paint all game it forces everybody on the court to resort to shooting jump shots all game. And not every guard is a shot hunter bro. That’s why guards complain when yall just stand in the paint. You’re not the only one who can score at the basket you handicap everyone to force to play one way.
Coming from a COD sweat myself this is hands down the worst community I ever encountered. The crying that goes on in this game is out of control which makes the game way toxic ppl be 🧢acting like they never miss or lose.. 2k has been more trash than fun and I think the community is numb and dumb but hey just my opinion
Yup you miss your first shot they will never pass to you again. Meanwhile, they going 2/10. Or you got a center crying first 30sec of game "better pass the rock" then proceeds to not actually play his position
2k just smacks us in the face whenever they feel like it, the new game mode is probably the most disappointing/disrespectful thing a dev group/business in gaming has done in a minute. The fact they want us to pay money for a mini game in a game where you have to purchase the base game to play the main thing, then have to put 100$+ in a build to have an enjoyable experience is mind boggling. Instead of putting those resources into a fkn mini game we have to pay for, they could’ve showed us love and respect for our spending and actually gave us different courts and locations (why can’t we play in like the space jam universe or something it’s a fkn game get creative). I truly hate the devs and business team that work on nba 2k 😅
Told myself I’m not making a rebirth because 2k wasn’t getting another cent from from me . I laughed when I seen the price tag on the mini game 2k doesn’t think it’s community is dumb they’ve known for quite some time now
I buy NBA2k every couple of years. I haven't played online or gotten into the game for several years. 2017 or 2018. One thing that I've noticed this year is that veteran players will treat you like shit and try to talk you into quitting the game. I am not the best player but I know how to play my build and I have good games and bad just like everyone else. That is the state of the game. We play with the veterans that grind all day an night and we also get the guys that work a 60 hour week and come online to play some basketball. Some of the people that play this game are toxic. Some are amazing and try to coach and tell me what I can do better. This is why I come back to this game time and time again. I have become a better player because of these guys. My point is: I get not being happy with the state of the game but instead of complaining try to come at the problems with some solutions that would make it better. Maybe we can get some traction and get the fixes we agree that are needed in this game.
I played 24 and was the worst game experience for me ever I’d rank 24[1] . 25 seems to have made better Improvements server and shooting wise although still random . I’d rank 25 [6.5] just because it’s a 2K product and the community is literally only getting the bare minimum the quests along with the creativity seems recycled and updated but it’s the same outcome as before, season pass just another money grab . Never known a game company to be as greedy and lazy as 2k
@@Kaoiken I agree 2ks tactics are greedy and it sucks that the improvements that need to be made are often promised but never given. I like watching the videos on Text's channel. He makes very valid points and has good complaints. In 2k25 I have met some of the most low of the low people to play with, racism on both sides, the people that think they are elite but due to SBMM it tells me they are actually playing on the same level as I am. They are just too dumb to realize that. All in all I am having fun. I try not to take it so seriously though.
If you want to play 2k without contributing to 2k’s pockets, do like I do and wait a week or so after it releases and buy a copy off ebay or Mercari. I play offline so I don’t need VC. Perfect way to hurt 2k’s pockets and still hoop.
I will say that, as a player who prefers MyTeam/Play Now, we are the vast minority of the player base. Of course, I have no hate towards the park and rec players. it's just not my cup of tea. It's more of a grind, more expensive, more toxicity, I don't like the fast-paced dibble spam style , etc. Havent played MC since 2k17. the last one I liked was 16. Anyway, I play sports games to experience a simulated broadcast game of the real-life counterpart. I dont really care to add my own persona in the game and have my own player. I care more about the real players/ ProPlay movement, crowds, areans, announcers, and more. Nevertheless, a competitor would make a great compromise for both sides. It will be 2K a reason to invest more time and money to fix the fundamental issue so that the community can at least come to a cease fire
Its like everybody wanna be right and not hear nothing the other side has to say....mfs will literally do dumb shit onna court and get mad when its called out..and god forbid i make my first mistake😂😂and why cant these bums say "my fault thats my mistake" instead of "2kkkk ommg this game trash"
2k is definitely the worst community that I ever been in. I still remember when Geesice got to 99 in 2k18 and someone hacked him and he ended up losing his account over it. The fact that people would go out their way to hack others and destroy what they have in 2k and other things in general is just very scummy. Not to mention the whole selling games because you're upset you don't get the ball, you miss one shot and never get the ball back or even the case of people literally being a ball hog and not making the correct play to try to win is beyond frustrating. It don't make sense for someone to have to feel stressed and irritated playing a game and unfortunately 2k is one of those games that makes people feel that way.
You might see people AFK on other games but you never see mfs giving up mid game or intentionally selling like 2k .. alot I suspect a lot of problems are coming from the SBMM
Bro i used to be so obsessed and I waited on 2kfootball to come back after all pro football 2k8 . It never did yo these games ant that serious take it for what it is and get you straight live life aka grow up type shit it’s hard
New patch did nothing but make paint defense so horrible that the game is unplayable. I’m standing in the paint 80 interior defense and a pure lockdown with no finishing can just run to the paint and score because when I’m holding the stick my player just decides to put his hands down. Than I jump for a contest and get a animation that puts me out of play evertime
I feel like the gaming industry in a big ass monopoly its like everybody in the big companies got a chokehold on a certain genre.. for instance 2K knows they can release a All Pro Football 2K25 type shit but they are gonna let EA control the football shit… 2K absolutely has no competition in the basketball genre… no other MLB games, no other NHL games, just like damn. I been watching RUclips since Chris Smoove MW2 days and shit just so watered down now. All these mfz care about is clout & money. Soulless bro
4:32 there you go ! I’ve been saying this for years !!!!!!!!! RUclipsrs killed the game 🤷🏾♂️ but the community definitely plays a part but I’m glad to to see you calling out specific RUclipsrs that’s what we need from a content creator hold each other accountable the dick sucking is crazy
All 2k literally has to do is take the exact gameplay from 2k16 and transfer it over to every new entry of 2k on some Pokemon shit and just spend the majority of development time investing in their servers and everyone would be happy
@@InfamousText i played the best build system ever in 2k19 and it was inferior to 2k14-2k16 they need to go back to inside balanced outside and focus on making sure the latency and actual modes in the game work day 1 at launch
I also warned people about Rec and the other modes . Find a way to get the mental shills out of the community or watch it burn. Thought they had an answer with Squad finders. But this problem just a lil one compared to others
Bruh I just want to play a basketball game without the AI Nerffing me and my abilities while making computer OP to create the illusion of a good game when in all actuality the replay value of the game is paper thin 😭
I know this is about the community in general, but as a whole, I’d like to thank you for being a voice for us (the consumer), even for how little it is worth when falling on deaf ears (corporate 2K). Many will bury their head in the sand and ignore such things for the sake of nostalgia or a following. Thank you for being a stand up guy, and I hope you continue to stand for what is right not only in gaming, but in life! ❤
1:48 😂. This right here. It's RUclips in general these days. Trolls seem to go to popular communities and top commenters and try to drag you into their misery. You even have groups of people who do this internationally, as I came across a group of trolls from Mexico, making rounds in Mass Effect Multi-player (of all things). I will say this, the 2K community is the highest profile and most visible of any toxic community. The true people that care, get tired of this crap and leave the community. I hope you don't, there is not many fellow New Yorkers in the community fr fr... but it seems like a matter of time before I come on here and see "that" video from you. I would give more advice for allergies, but I suffer from them as well. All I can recommend is increasing Honey, Garlic, and Ginger in your daily diet. This will help with the Flu season as well, it is going to be a bad one this season. And yes, I'm from the South Boogie, UES, and Yonkers. God Bless bro and feel better.
I’m trying to learn how to dribble online. I made a pg build bc all the pgs I play with don’t pass so I wanted to be that change. I’m learning how to dribble and max quick icon passes. If I turn over I get cussed out and get iced out over one mistake while the dude talking shit is going 2/11 and hogging the ball.
My only feedback is use the word stupid or moronic instead of retarted because we say that word when we mean stupid but are trying to be harsher and it honestly makes us look like angry children trying to name call when when we do. Other than that. I don't disagree and its most communities that are online that behave this way. Its why companies suck in general because they have 0 requirement to do anything about it.
I'm not saying VC needs to completely go away, but the pricing needs to be toned down. There making so much money as it is being the only basketball game with no competition.
I'm still playing 2k24. I'm not buying 25 and I'm done with 2k when 24 servers close down. I hate this game. i love basketball, though. I got all the way to purple plates for the first time ever without using boost or gatorades. I was playing perfectly. As soon as i got into gold and purple plate, the game started making me play like an idiot. Forcing me to spend my VC on boost because i was tired of missing open shots. He's still missing open shots, i can't catch the ball, i can't dunk, i can't defend this is all with boost and gatorades it nerfed my build. My build is useless now. I hate this game.
Just played TWO …TWOOO 7ft post scorers who just drove in the paint and got every rebound… oh and don’t let them reach , because it’s a 70% chance it’s a steal 🤦🏽♂️
I have bought every 2k from 2k20 until 2k24 and here’s the cycle: 2k starts with a good game where offense and defense are balanced, the community whines, 2k patches the game and makes it worse, the community again complains and claim they want a skill gap, so 2k again starts the cycle. I support you buying the game since you create great content but I won’t be a part of the “matrix” By the way, if you want nice 2k content, watch Saint Hardaway, Ol Dog Smoke, and waff6ix. They’re not huge but they are good
bro, YES, YES. I've been saying it for years. Just make a fkn arcady basketball game. Who cares about some specifics signature moves or a license. Just make it fun and make it be about basketball and gameplay.
If more people buy and play the game because it’s fun then they’ll be able to afford the licenses! It could definitely work a company would just have to take a risk
The community & people who have authority to make the decisions is the problem simple. Nobody is telling you to keep supporting. I’m also the problem. But we can’t say “also RUclipsrs and etc”
Sn: it’s so interesting that Ronnie who I also dislike and don’t think there any reason to be here but GUESS WHAT guys RUclipsrs are less equivalent to him cause just what there both just there to make you more willing to buy the game. He just get more or as much equity then them RUclipsrs? So why care?
I’m literally a RUclipsr myself and saying that they’re part of the issue 😂. But my point was that Ronnie thinks he’s above everyone and has a superiority complex
The community is full of people who pay to win...What did you expect. This always make me laugh, The old community left because of the pay to win toxic player base and now there is only toxic pay to win players who cant actually play. The irony is off the charts
My homie told me his son download 2k on his old system . He walked in the room and seen him going in rec on 60 ov .. he is 8-9 years old 😂😂 that’s a problem little ass kids play this game and there also grown ass man who act like they don’t know nothing about basketball. How are people that bad ??
I've only ever cared for black ops 2 gtav and nba 2k19-24 I made the decisions to stop playing 2k and I don't regret it there's free games that take up your time better and I thought the same as most of you "hoops is all I can get into" but going from spending 500$ a week or month to just having the money opens up many other avenues or things to do
yesterday my own teammate punished me for shooting 8/9 in a proving grounds game, he stood out of bounds and basically made the other team win i gave him the ball throughout the game & everything, it’s not my fault you’re 0/5
I don’t think it’s coincidental that 2k being the most expensive, manipulative, and wildly greedy game coincides with a fed up and toxic community. The entire design is FOMO and EOMM to give you anxiety that you need to be on more to have what you need to do better AKA (a cap breaker in the pass). As someone who has gamed since not Minecraft but since the Nintendo NES and who hosted Quake tournaments in middle school I’d say Rainbow 6 the most toxic, NHL and NBA the most racist communities but NBA stands alone as the worst game at all points that matter. Anyways, thanks for making the content !
Reason I mainly play 1s and occasionally 2s. I run into post scorers on 1s. They lame asf. 2s court, 50% you run into a brick wall and his lil pg buddy. 1s are fun tho
The only thing that sucks is that i normally play on pc and they just released next gen on it so it makes me wanna buy it. but i dont want to contribute to 2k's buffoonery. Otherwise ur funny as hell man love the videos. 🔥🔥🔥
Nah me and my buddy played rec today we usually play pro am but didnt have our third so we played rec and through 3 quarters me and him and combined 4 shots and our teamates in game chat talking all this shi had 30 shots combined with 3 makes cant make this stuff up in this community lmfao
Fr all the mainstream modes myteam park all that most of them is straight up stupid i was playing on 24 last year and i had a dude on the mic being straight up racist and im white asf
The solution is simple, play a different game. Yaw literally live by the moniker "ball is life" Stop playing the game, then 2k wont make money anymore, then there parent company TakeTwo will end up selling it due to no longer making a profit. iTz an unfortunate game we have to play with these scumbags but this is the reality they've left us with. Or you can keep feeding the machine until you're a lifeless bot.
im just praying like midway sports or like 989 sports make a basketball game call it rucker park crack headz: 1980's rucker park basketball game where u can make ur own crack addicted baller or choose from one of 12 pre created crack builds
I definitely do I’ve been playing since BO2! But 2k has gotten worse. People don’t even talk shit in COD anymore or they’ll get communications banned immediately
Park took over that’s why the game fell off 2k isn’t good at making park they excel at making NBA games and they stopped making the gameplay based off that like 4 years ago to cater to park players complaints about shooting and dribbling.

All 2k literally has to do is take the exact gameplay from 2k16 and transfer it over to every new entry of 2k on some Pokemon shit and just spend the majority of development time investing in their servers and everyone would be happy
Tbh I don’t think we really want this. Yes it would be fun at first, but then it gets old quickly. I agree it would be better than what we have though
@@InfamousText i played the best build system ever in 2k19 and it was inferior to 2k14-2k16 they need to go back to inside balanced outside and focus on making sure the latency and actual modes in the game work day 1 at launch
Facts it really is the big RUclips faults. those folks you mention are the definition of sell out. Have no backbone or cojones
💯
💯
I also warned people about Rec and the other modes . Find a way to get the mental shills out of the community or watch it burn. Thought they had an answer with Squad finders. But this problem just a lil one compared to others
I haven’t even tried the squad finder thing
Thank for you talking about that how it’s soul less money hunger content creation ruined video games
💯
This is easily the worst community. No one gets along ever lol
Truth!
Bruh I just want to play a basketball game without the AI Nerffing me and my abilities while making computer OP to create the illusion of a good game when in all actuality the replay value of the game is paper thin 😭
Same!
Bro 😂😂😂 “on their knees” “robotic basic videos” this is great 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
I know this is about the community in general, but as a whole, I’d like to thank you for being a voice for us (the consumer), even for how little it is worth when falling on deaf ears (corporate 2K). Many will bury their head in the sand and ignore such things for the sake of nostalgia or a following. Thank you for being a stand up guy, and I hope you continue to stand for what is right not only in gaming, but in life! ❤
Thank you bro this is actually a wholesome ass comment 🤣. It’s very true I’ll always speak my mind
I be havin 10 points in 3s without missing a shot n people would sell me cuz im scoring too much
unrelated but anyone else hear a buzzing noise like a low hum or just me?
Not just you! I’m having an issue with my audio compression in editing. Trying my best to fix it 😂
I been in the works of tryna make a streetball game, modern basketball game sucks we gotta get to it ourselves
When text's speaks, we listen.

FACTS!!!!!!! SO GLAD I SUBBED TO THIS CHANNEL...
Thank you bro!
1:48 😂. This right here. It's RUclips in general these days. Trolls seem to go to popular communities and top commenters and try to drag you into their misery. You even have groups of people who do this internationally, as I came across a group of trolls from Mexico, making rounds in Mass Effect Multi-player (of all things). I will say this, the 2K community is the highest profile and most visible of any toxic community. The true people that care, get tired of this crap and leave the community. I hope you don't, there is not many fellow New Yorkers in the community fr fr... but it seems like a matter of time before I come on here and see "that" video from you. I would give more advice for allergies, but I suffer from them as well. All I can recommend is increasing Honey, Garlic, and Ginger in your daily diet. This will help with the Flu season as well, it is going to be a bad one this season. And yes, I'm from the South Boogie, UES, and Yonkers. God Bless bro and feel better.
Bro pulled remedies out of his ass 🤣🤣. I’ll try them out bro thank you and you’re right!
I’m trying to learn how to dribble online. I made a pg build bc all the pgs I play with don’t pass so I wanted to be that change. I’m learning how to dribble and max quick icon passes. If I turn over I get cussed out and get iced out over one mistake while the dude talking shit is going 2/11 and hogging the ball.
Real shit. I'm done buying this game to get the same shit every year.
Literally pay to win at this point.
Facts
“ ignorance makes me rich “. Bobby kotick 2009
No idea what you’re talking about!
My only feedback is use the word stupid or moronic instead of retarted because we say that word when we mean stupid but are trying to be harsher and it honestly makes us look like angry children trying to name call when when we do. Other than that. I don't disagree and its most communities that are online that behave this way. Its why companies suck in general because they have 0 requirement to do anything about it.
I'm not saying VC needs to completely go away, but the pricing needs to be toned down. There making so much money as it is being the only basketball game with no competition.
Very true
I know it’s gonna be a good day when text drops😤
🫡
These mlb n nfl players need to stick to they own sports game; also you can tell 95% of this community never even played high school ball
Brutalsim is another good 2k RUclipsr who stands on business about the game
No critical thinking skills!!!!!!!! Thanks this is the statement
Very true!
You are telling the truth and the sad thing is that it will not change this will get worse let's not speak on gravity ball...it's downhill from here
Yep!
I'm still playing 2k24. I'm not buying 25 and I'm done with 2k when 24 servers close down. I hate this game. i love basketball, though. I got all the way to purple plates for the first time ever without using boost or gatorades. I was playing perfectly. As soon as i got into gold and purple plate, the game started making me play like an idiot. Forcing me to spend my VC on boost because i was tired of missing open shots. He's still missing open shots, i can't catch the ball, i can't dunk, i can't defend this is all with boost and gatorades it nerfed my build. My build is useless now. I hate this game.
I still play 24 when I get bored as well! 25 is so bad
@InfamousText yea, I'm not getting it even if it's free. I'm done with the 2k franchise after this
My friend let me download the game off his account so 2k didnt get a dime out of me😂
we chilling on the MyNBA side
Just played TWO …TWOOO 7ft post scorers who just drove in the paint and got every rebound… oh and don’t let them reach , because it’s a 70% chance it’s a steal 🤦🏽♂️
Game is great!
The gta v community is pretty similar which is funny because they are both under Take-two
🤣
I have bought every 2k from 2k20 until 2k24 and here’s the cycle: 2k starts with a good game where offense and defense are balanced, the community whines, 2k patches the game and makes it worse, the community again complains and claim they want a skill gap, so 2k again starts the cycle. I support you buying the game since you create great content but I won’t be a part of the “matrix”
By the way, if you want nice 2k content, watch Saint Hardaway, Ol Dog Smoke, and waff6ix. They’re not huge but they are good
Very true! I'll check out those guys!
bro, YES, YES. I've been saying it for years. Just make a fkn arcady basketball game. Who cares about some specifics signature moves or a license. Just make it fun and make it be about basketball and gameplay.
That’s why they are adding the signature moves because they want it to be basketball, but unfortunately there will never be a middle ground
If more people buy and play the game because it’s fun then they’ll be able to afford the licenses! It could definitely work a company would just have to take a risk
The community & people who have authority to make the decisions is the problem simple. Nobody is telling you to keep supporting. I’m also the problem. But we can’t say “also RUclipsrs and etc”
Sn: it’s so interesting that Ronnie who I also dislike and don’t think there any reason to be here but GUESS WHAT guys RUclipsrs are less equivalent to him cause just what there both just there to make you more willing to buy the game. He just get more or as much equity then them RUclipsrs? So why care?
I’m literally a RUclipsr myself and saying that they’re part of the issue 😂. But my point was that Ronnie thinks he’s above everyone and has a superiority complex
I hope you get better bruv
Feeling much better thank you!
The community is full of people who pay to win...What did you expect.
This always make me laugh, The old community left because of the pay to win toxic player base and now there is only toxic pay to win players who cant actually play. The irony is off the charts
Somewhat true
My homie told me his son download 2k on his old system . He walked in the room and seen him going in rec on 60 ov .. he is 8-9 years old 😂😂 that’s a problem little ass kids play this game and there also grown ass man who act like they don’t know nothing about basketball. How are people that bad ??
Idiotic people 🤷♂️ no idea
I've only ever cared for black ops 2 gtav and nba 2k19-24 I made the decisions to stop playing 2k and I don't regret it there's free games that take up your time better and I thought the same as most of you "hoops is all I can get into" but going from spending 500$ a week or month to just having the money opens up many other avenues or things to do
I'm not the only one who knows this, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yesterday my own teammate punished me for shooting 8/9 in a proving grounds game, he stood out of bounds and basically made the other team win
i gave him the ball throughout the game & everything, it’s not my fault you’re 0/5
People love to cry!
I don’t think it’s coincidental that 2k being the most expensive, manipulative, and wildly greedy game coincides with a fed up and toxic community. The entire design is FOMO and EOMM to give you anxiety that you need to be on more to have what you need to do better AKA (a cap breaker in the pass). As someone who has gamed since not Minecraft but since the Nintendo NES and who hosted Quake tournaments in middle school I’d say Rainbow 6 the most toxic, NHL and NBA the most racist communities but NBA stands alone as the worst game at all points that matter. Anyways, thanks for making the content !
You’re welcome bro! Appreciate the comment
I just play 1s and 2s. Rec toxic ass ppl.
So are 1s and 2s
When I tell you, the three people you named are the only three people that I think of as well brother you are telling no lies
You say stupid like this STEWPET 😂
😭😭
It is nasty i can’t play 2k in peace at all fr
Reason I mainly play 1s and occasionally 2s. I run into post scorers on 1s. They lame asf. 2s court, 50% you run into a brick wall and his lil pg buddy. 1s are fun tho
@@alvink566 1s are fun fr i see myself playing theater more this year and ima park type of guy 😢
Neither can I!
I’m glad you were in my recommended 🤚🏽🙂↕️
🤝
The only thing that sucks is that i normally play on pc and they just released next gen on it so it makes me wanna buy it. but i dont want to contribute to 2k's buffoonery. Otherwise ur funny as hell man love the videos. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you bro! And I’m sure it would be fun to mod next gen on PC. It’s on sale RN on steam if you wanna grab it
Nah me and my buddy played rec today we usually play pro am but didnt have our third so we played rec and through 3 quarters me and him and combined 4 shots and our teamates in game chat talking all this shi had 30 shots combined with 3 makes cant make this stuff up in this community lmfao
🤣🤣
Fr all the mainstream modes myteam park all that most of them is straight up stupid i was playing on 24 last year and i had a dude on the mic being straight up racist and im white asf
Pass me the ball. I don't work out
My fault KD I don’t want the smoke
The community and their gamer tags are so cringe lmao
“SheLuv, Da or Tha, -_-, or 2k” and then shoot 2 for 17 is hilarious
this cold doing wilt numbers on the boi
AND YES 2K COMMUNITY SUCKS
Not even a cold just allergies! Shit is crazy
this dude funny asl
Thank you bro!
Facts , I got called weird because I made a 7”1 center 🤣🤣🤣🤡
People will say anything
Facts bro it’s not my fault your guard is 6”2 🤣🤣🤣
U definitely forgot about my boy lamonsta
He does speak out sometimes but it’s inconsistent. He also has a logo 🤷♂️
My Guy 😎

The solution is simple, play a different game. Yaw literally live by the moniker "ball is life"
Stop playing the game, then 2k wont make money anymore, then there parent company TakeTwo will end up selling it due to no longer making a profit. iTz an unfortunate game we have to play with these scumbags but this is the reality they've left us with. Or you can keep feeding the machine until you're a lifeless bot.
sorry bro i like basketball. i can play dbz or eldin ring so much
Agree 100% with the guy above me. Really have nothing further to add to it besides weirdos will but it every year regardless 🤷♂️
2k LV fixing game VC cash 💰...
I just bought a brand new watch from goddd I ain’t put it on yetttt
😭😭 gotta be some type of drugs
Um black plate cause in going to crash out
Chris smooth is another good one all he does is play my career and some play now online
yessir chris smoove is the pioneer of 2k content
damn i’m early asf wsp text
What’s good bro!
Honestly the worst communities in order to me are
1.Rainbow six siege
2.COD
3.2k
Very true!
im just praying like midway sports or like 989 sports make a basketball game
call it rucker park crack headz: 1980's rucker park basketball game where u can make ur own crack addicted baller or choose from one of 12 pre created crack builds
U must not know about the call of duty community lol
I definitely do I’ve been playing since BO2! But 2k has gotten worse. People don’t even talk shit in COD anymore or they’ll get communications banned immediately
Park took over that’s why the game fell off 2k isn’t good at making park they excel at making NBA games and they stopped making the gameplay based off that like 4 years ago to cater to park players complaints about shooting and dribbling.
Somewhat true but there’s also objective issues that need fixing
Yeah this community is ass
Shout out swante
💯
uncle demi does speak against 2k u shouldve seen him on myteam last year lmao what are u saying
He is literally the golden boy of 2k and gets away with everything. He broke an NDA this year and leaked the game early. NO consequences for it!
@@InfamousText yes he is the golden boy so what he has still spoken against the game they don’t care they love him devs actually speak to him and as u said they dc abt him breaking the NDA all of this goes against ur whole point lmao he has spoken badly about the game and they still show him crazy love even though hes an exception
Seems like a cool dude BUT I said Uncle Demi before you even brought his name up.
HOF knee pads 😂 but I don’t disagree he seems like a cool guy. Just on his knees for 2k is all
Wassup Text
Yooooooo
I like the toxic sometimes it’s funny
Definitely can be! But too much of it gets tiring
