The 2k community itself is the constant down fall of 2k. They want a skill gap and they don’t want the game to be copy and paste but every year they crash out about the game being too hard and that they want the same mechanics back from the year prior 🤣 it’s wild!
@bokclilm300 vc has nothing to do with the community complaining every year. Vc was introduced like what 10 years ago?? The problem is the content creators and comp players complaining about things not being there way
People keep saying that the community said they wanna skill gap but I have never heard anyone that plays 2k in real life complain about a skill gap. Reality is, people just want to be good at what they made their player to do if anyone wanted a skill gap that is what a defender should be not some extra mechanic to leave room for error. It’s simple if you are mad that someone can shoot when they are wide open then play some defense. They need to make defense better and stop nerfing offense
@@slumcitykidd9576 why shouldn’t there be a skill gap? Everything In life has a skill gap lol just because you can press a button doesn’t mean you should be able too shoot. Ppl make builds with a 77-80 3pt and expect to shoot 60+ percent from the 3 but when they can’t then shooting is too hard… I do agree with you that they need to buff defense however they did not nerf offense, it’s still the more overpowered side of the ball. If 2k can’t figure out defensive mechanics which they haven’t in my opinion since 2k20 then yes they do need too nerf offense in order to maintain balance in the game. 2k just needs to get their shit together and actually put effort into balance but they can’t because no matter what they do it’s always gonna be complaining which is why the last 3 years I’ve been an advocate for just leaving gameplay alone and only patching Glitches
Personally i think the delay is the main issue with shooting if they fixed that issue it might help a lot with shooting because think about it you have to release the shot so much earlier just to green because of that delay. Combine that with what’s essentially a different release every single time you shoot the ball sometimes it being faster others it being slower along with the delay and it makes it much harder to time.
Y’all don’t understand they have to put that latency in the game, if not everyone would left stick cheese because you can just stop and change directions on the dime. They have to account for the time it takes for the ball to hit the floor when dribbling
@@ThisAinThatMetrono we’re talking about server latency the servers are buns. If you have played park this year it feels terrible. Ever since they added the city the latency has been terrible in the game, and it makes shooting feel inconsistent.

Gonna tell you why this is cap. This guy has over 2000 games played top rep person most of us know is probably around 300. The time played matters, dudes are probably way more skilled than half the community just off time played. If regular old you and your irl had to run 2v2 vs Lebron and Kobe every game you probably wouldn’t want to play either. Some of these guys are duckers but a lot of the people don’t have the time to put into the game just to get on and consistently lose to a guy who plays 20 hours a day. The only people who gain anything from that would be the guys playing 20 hours a day . Let them wait 15 minutes and play against other guys like them rather than consistently giving them free wins on lower ranked players
Facts. that’s why I only value players with defense in their build which means offensive attributes are lower. I think most of the good players don’t need a 6”4 build or smaller. Guards take 20 shots a game and still can’t shoot. Lmao

Bruh if you’re having problems shooting or finishing around the rim, CHANGE YOUR CAMERA! Floor 1 and 7 is by far the best camera to time your releases and still see everything. Trust me!
My main issue with 2k be when i load into a game and get stuck endlessly waiting for the to start after everyone is ready and you start going to the court.
I've noticed that the ones fussing don't have a tolerance to breakdown and learn, the only thing that's instinctive is the individual playing, don't cry about what's not easy, cause A.I. aren't duds no more, they Terminators now. Lol enjoy evolving with game experience have fun and just learn to get better and realize, nothing stays dormant for too long😇😇
Nah I suck at shooting but I’m glad the AIs can. I was tired of people quitting and you get stuck with people quadruple teaming you because the AIs can’t shoot. Now dude actually have to stay on there guy
As someone who was very good in 2k19, 20 and 21. 2k25 has the biggest skill gap. I am complete garbage shooting and dribbling, which came natural in past 2k's. I would play "Play Now" and learn everyones jumpshot in the entire game, yet i can't learn 1 shot on 2k25. If you are winning in this game, you must be a 2k fanatic 😂
So the interior defense is so useless that it's easier to score inside the paint with zone defense than shooting wide open jumpers. That makes no sense...
with the shooting I can live with it but I do feel like we should be able to hit threes as long as we timing I shots right and slightly changing the window to make by milliseconds is ridiculous I see a lot of people saying real people don’t shot 70% they also gotta remember at the end of the day this a game and I’m not trying to be curry I’m trying to be better than curry and also this mycareer it’ll make more sense if shooting like this was implemented into play now where we are actually playing with the REAL players
Now it’s the skill gap I’ve always wanted. We have to own our stroke like in real life. Sometimes I’m straight cash right in people’s face when I need to. Then yup there are times I will miss wide open because I took my stroke for granted. This is as close to real as it gets. I freaking love it.
Right everybody toxic af. 🤣 be up 15 then everybody wana start tryin show off. Player of the half not as hot as they was before the half but they continue forcing. An my favorite. Big man that dont get rebounds,set screens ,or move. just camp the same corner 3 all game.
@@getrichtothis1585 right my rec win percentage terrible because these randoms keep selling me everyone forcing bad shots the teams I play against spam square every possession etc.
And it doesn't matter how high your ball handle, if you have unpluckable badge...guys will just spam square and tip the ball at least half the time. It should be a reach-in foul way more often. Once I saw 4 back to back turnovers within 3 seconds, due to the ball just being tipped back and forth. It's such a joke man. On my big man build, I haven't even put a single point into steals yet, it's like 25...and I still tip the ball easily by just spamming. And interceptions in park need to be nerfed. Guys are getting steals with their backs literally turned to the ball. Or warping across the court to intercept. Physically impossible!
Feel like everybody muscle memoried into past 2ks. I'm guilty of it. tryin that 2k24 get you a quick slightly late / slightly early. Follow ya shot through and don't rush it you'll get better results.
As a player who switched to Xbox because I was tiered of matching up with kids on PlayStation the real issues is cross gen dropped 30 in proving grounds only to win by 2 PlayStation players out here selling almost every game I play and there’s almost no Xbox users
2k labs literally stated that your green window fluctuates with every shot you take...like bro what? Like if you speed up or slow down my shot based on coverage, situation, etc.? Fine. But moving the green window constantly on even a regular stand still open shot is straight up bs. There's nothing anyone can do to convince me otherwise
Man for the last 3 years or so the worst thing u could do as a big was block a shot at rim because they act like when they jump when they land their legs have to be reconstructed before u can move so ur just looking at a ball 1 ft from u someone gets it and scores before ur surgery is done. Just take pogo stick out of game because clearly it doesn’t help bigs… and like everything else it works best on small builds.
Best advice I can say is put your visual cue in the wrist flick between push and release.! That’s the key. Stop being muscle memory shooting and learn the cue! I went from 30-40% and in park I got clips shooting fine. And think around 50% Trust me
The reason the matchmaking isn’t working and taking so long is because a lot of people just aren’t using it. That’s the plain truth if we’re talking about the squad finder.
Sid dude not lying, I have proof myself too on my ig. I just went 10-12 from the field and 3/4 from deep . Step back 3s , pull up 3s , spot up all that. I love rhythm shooting what a beautiful invention ‼️‼️💯
Just give it time. Most people probably are still grinding their character, didn’t pay the full amount for a 90 overall character, or just don’t have time to grind to 99. Queue times will get faster as the year goes on.
I just started micro adjusting my jump shot. I complained before but I put in the work with the systems at hand. Adjust the jump shot to your timing not adjust to the jump shot. You might lose a few games adjusting but at least you’ll end of with a better result for the rest of the year.
I invested in a 89 dunk and 78 vertical to unlock contact dunks on my SG. However, my player will constantly choose to do the most laziest layup animation over a contact dunk or any dunk for that matter. Or you invest in defense to unlock gold challenger and on/off ball pest but the blow-by's are still rampant. Make it make sense, 2K. Shooting aside, some changes are needed ASAP or this game won't even make it to Thanksgiving before it's cooked.
So true even me when I started Playing 2K with 2k18 but just as I wanted to play that 2K the servers went down so I started Playing 2K with Nba 2k19 until 2K25 so over the years I learned to play the game and always manage to adjust how to play the game so just take some time to learn it
Nah they had 50 reveals and a whole community day and the whole time it was focused on every feature EXCEPT shooting until launch. Spending the first few months going back and forth about shooting on a franchise game with a limited life cycle DECREASES THE VALUE of the experience.
They gotta fix the matchmaking in pro am too. It’s no reason for my squad to only be 2-0 and have to play a top 40 team in the WORLD for our 3rd game ever in pro am then play them again on our 5th game 🤦🏾♂️
worst thing about 2k is people spamming steals the whole game cause u get fouled out at 6 fouls for a game to 21 , they should put it down to 3-4 fouls per game, its not like we're playing 4 Quarters, just sayin
Brute, nobody wants to waste days and weeks of their time figuring out a game that gets replaced EVERY YEAR! This isn’t world of Warcraft. This whole dedicate your life to figure out shooting in a game that no one will be talking about in a year is ridiculous. Ain’t nobody got time for dat. They gotta make shooting better for the MAJORITY of people. Period. End of story.
It seems like the shooting caters to my career… open Klay Thompson shouldn’t be shooting inconsistently… the game isn’t sim, it’s designed to generate money. I’m hitting shots… it’s just inconsistent regardless of the release.( in my team)
Just because you’re wide open doesn’t mean you should hit the shot 100% of the time. Steph Curry is the best shooter ever because his shot is pretty close to being a 50/50 open from anywhere.
Sid is right it’s like it’s a ghost contest when your defender is up close close on you, you need a nice gap in between you in your defender to make those open shots and it all depends on the persons defense badges you can ofc hit some tight and light pressure shots mostly over smaller guards I’ve tested this out again Kawhi In my court and it actually works. Also if your a defender can have they hands down and you can hit that just gotta time it right I’ve pulled up in plenty people face fading etc. if you know your shot you can hit it
I was in the theater last night and was winning. My opponent quit mid game play and I receive no rep. How am I supposed to rep up if people quit mid game.. 😩 Suggestions?
I don't like that the cap breakers are behind the rep. Casual players will struggle to get 5 of them. I try to play about 3 to 4 hours a day n i already see its going to be a struggle. I hope next year they do something different.
I personally hate the 2K community I have never asked for a skill gap. But I'm just casual I think one of the problems is a lot of people worry about other people in this community worry about yourself just like in life.
For me, the biggest issues are steals being OP, and the servers being complete garbage. This laggy shit is why I haven't found a consistent shot yet. I will test out a new jumper in my court, hit like 17/20 greens, think I have it down...and then in park it's all bricks. And it obviously due to the delay to an extent...because my guy is also sliding and taking extra steps when I stop moving. 2K remains the only online game I can think of where we can't see our ping to the server...hmm wonder why huh?
I’m in the military I don’t get a lot of chances to be on the game. I will say this first. I don’t want a buff to shooting. There should be a skill gap. But you shouldn’t be forced to miss especially if you times the shot correctly. That’s not a skill gap, that’s bailing a player out who decided to leave you open if you’re good shooter and not a bad one cos they want to try to bait a player and suck on off ball defense. BUT, I’m finally a center again after two years of being forced to play pf and sf cos yall made 6’9 meta centers that can do it all. But coming from someone who was shooting 39% from 3 and was genuinely interested in learning how to shoot better when I want to hop on my SF…. Listening to old dude speak on shooting sounded like a drunk conspiracy theorist trying to convince me the world is going to end… it should never be that deep and it made me never want to try to learn… I understand yall comp players I’m not downing yall game at all, but there are casuals who just want to play the game for an hour n then get on with their lives. That hour a lot of times can’t be spent in the mycourt or Gatorade facility or pro am trying to figure out to green with moving green windows, different animations, no pure green window (I’ll believe it when I see it I’m not taking anything anyone says if it ain’t badgeplug, 2ktutes, or 2klabs. Some YTs and some yall in the comment sections are in 2k pockets and will defend the game like yall get paid for it), a thousand timings, and latency and lag spikes and from the sound of the conspiracy theorist, he been trying to crack the code since game dropped imagine what it’s like for a casual who doesn’t nearly have much time to play nor practice. I’m not saying buff shooting at all but players shouldn’t be forced to miss. That’s all. And please buff interior and perimeter… so these guys can stop running round spamming square calling themselves “lockdowns”… in all reality some lockdowns are trash at defense and just rely on 99 steal to carry them. I like SOME of the animations on defense, the cut off comes in clutch SOMETIMES, use them. I’m good on defense, But still the contest system just doesn’t make sense to me
Adding RNG to the game does not increase the skill gap… how is me missing the game winning shot knowing I timed it right a skill issue? The fact that I can time my shit everytime don’t take skill?
If it takes too long to find people on your skill level at 99 then it’s way too early to be enough people that are 99 to go up against. Give it time and try going back on your 99s around holiday seasons. I guarantee there will be quicker queue times then.
Smh I noticed yall put together I plan to stroll me😤 I may seem crazy but im not stupid. But I do feel where ‘Cid’ is coming from & you’re right there is a right window. I do need to focus more on my shot timing🤔💭💡
My only main issue with 2k is buff pass. I have a 91 pass acc, and these guys are lane stealing backward. They got eyes back of there head. I can't even nutmeg like I used to. BRING PASSING BACK
From my understanding of playing the game there is a pure green window, but it’s not the same as last year; it moves, as 2K Labs has shown. If you hit those pure green windows, you won’t miss your shot. Also, “perfectly releasing” your shot and then blaming it on “RNG” isn’t valid. If you shoot the ball using your visual cue, you won’t miss. The pure green windows barely move, so if you’re truly perfecting your timing during the 570-600 millisecond increment, you won’t miss. After your first four shots, whether you hit or miss, adjust your timing to be slightly later, and you’ll start hitting those shots(this where you’re cue helps). Using Rhythm shooting makes shooting so ridiculously easy its not even funny. (Me and the boys are shooting >55% from three and if they fixed latency it would be even higher. Thats not to say that we didn’t struggle in the beginning because we definitely did😭) Sid is not lying imo🤷🏽♂️👀
Gang u are a human not god u really think yo lil ass brain can react in the milliseconds everytime without any indicator that let u know yo shot gon change bffr yall think yall god show me one human who can react that fast every time niggas think they goku or sum😂
Screw shooting. When are we going to speak on this garbage level 40 reward? Easily the worst and most money hungry reward in history. It’s legit disrespectful because it shows they think for the entire cycle you are expected to keep making builds in order to get ANY use from the reward
Regarding the shoot like contested vs not contested. If you haven’t don’t the deadeye shooting drill in mycareer you won’t get this. There is a difference. And what he said makes sense.
I like sid but if the people who have programs and modded controllers can't find a pure green windows then I'm going to stick with their data. I don't think the shooting is as bad as I previously thought but the random animations in every facet of the game is annoying.
lol my only thing with the game is the stuff people are saying to help you shoot is not new they say watch your jumper that’s been a thing they say get your hotspots that’s been a thing like I’m trying to find something new I seen somebody say it’s the timing stability ima try that and see what happens lol
Notice how his fg% dont match his 3pt% he was forcing 2’s everytime he made 2-3 3’s😂 to reset that green window shouldn’t have to do that u don’t have to get a layup in real life to make a wide open 3
Everyone talking about shooting but nobody notice the driving dunk frequency in this game? I can’t dunk to save my life and when I do get a open lane I get stripped from behind (PAUSE)
I alternate rhythm shooting and square I use square 3/4 of the time and soon I feel anything like a algorithm I switch to rhythm for the next shot and shockingly it goes in 80% of the time then I go back to square
They definitely didn't intend to have it that way. It's not even street smarts atp it's common sense Brute. 😂 Like why would they have rep for something you grinded in my career when they offer you gear in the season pass that give you rep. It's literally sleeves that give you 1.1 or 1.5 rep per game. They was so thirsty over that Goat outfit that they just overlooked it 🤭🤣🤦♂️ Dope video Brute!❤
The downfall of 2k is the crossplay. The lag since then has been insane. Shooting is diffcult because the game so laggy. I can almost guarantee. Everyone can hit in their my courts but whos. Mastered the lag spikes. Is the skill gap which is lame to me.

The delay and sliding around like you're on skates is one of the most frustrating things in this game. I can live with the shooting as is.

Man insane can't tell the difference from a 99 and 25
Yall gonna be mad if they buff close shots when post scorers dominate even more
@vFrosty2K not mad at all bro I'm just saying my close shot is not falling for ME practice makes perfect so I'm working on it
My main issue with 2k be when i load into a game and get stuck endlessly waiting for the to start after everyone is ready and you start going to the court.
Brut it’s more than just the community. It’s a generation, that don’t like challenges…smh
Facts and that how it’s designed to be
How is it a challenge when u can only hit 3 3s at most 😂😂
I've noticed that the ones fussing don't have a tolerance to breakdown and learn, the only thing that's instinctive is the individual playing, don't cry about what's not easy, cause A.I. aren't duds no more, they Terminators now. Lol enjoy evolving with game experience have fun and just learn to get better and realize, nothing stays dormant for too long😇😇
Nah I suck at shooting but I’m glad the AIs can.
I was tired of people quitting and you get stuck with people quadruple teaming you because the AIs can’t shoot. Now dude actually have to stay on there guy
As someone who was very good in 2k19, 20 and 21. 2k25 has the biggest skill gap. I am complete garbage shooting and dribbling, which came natural in past 2k's. I would play "Play Now" and learn everyones jumpshot in the entire game, yet i can't learn 1 shot on 2k25. If you are winning in this game, you must be a 2k fanatic 😂
Crazy how this video is practically identical to last years 24 video lol same issues same complaints same responses 😂
So the interior defense is so useless that it's easier to score inside the paint with zone defense than shooting wide open jumpers. That makes no sense...
with the shooting I can live with it but I do feel like we should be able to hit threes as long as we timing I shots right and slightly changing the window to make by milliseconds is ridiculous I see a lot of people saying real people don’t shot 70% they also gotta remember at the end of the day this a game and I’m not trying to be curry I’m trying to be better than curry and also this mycareer it’ll make more sense if shooting like this was implemented into play now where we are actually playing with the REAL players
Try playing 1v1 as a red plate PF in theater. I be sitting there for 15-20mins falling asleep waiting for a queue.
Now it’s the skill gap I’ve always wanted. We have to own our stroke like in real life. Sometimes I’m straight cash right in people’s face when I need to. Then yup there are times I will miss wide open because I took my stroke for granted. This is as close to real as it gets. I freaking love it.
Rec with randoms is terrible 😭😭
Right everybody toxic af. 🤣 be up 15 then everybody wana start tryin show off. Player of the half not as hot as they was before the half but they continue forcing. An my favorite. Big man that dont get rebounds,set screens ,or move. just camp the same corner 3 all game.
@@getrichtothis1585 right my rec win percentage terrible because these randoms keep selling me everyone forcing bad shots the teams I play against spam square every possession etc.
And it doesn't matter how high your ball handle, if you have unpluckable badge...guys will just spam square and tip the ball at least half the time. It should be a reach-in foul way more often. Once I saw 4 back to back turnovers within 3 seconds, due to the ball just being tipped back and forth. It's such a joke man. On my big man build, I haven't even put a single point into steals yet, it's like 25...and I still tip the ball easily by just spamming. And interceptions in park need to be nerfed. Guys are getting steals with their backs literally turned to the ball. Or warping across the court to intercept. Physically impossible!
Best 2k to date right out the gate already got 120 hrs in and two builds
Feel like everybody muscle memoried into past 2ks. I'm guilty of it. tryin that 2k24 get you a quick slightly late / slightly early. Follow ya shot through and don't rush it you'll get better results.
Real shit
As a player who switched to Xbox because I was tiered of matching up with kids on PlayStation the real issues is cross gen dropped 30 in proving grounds only to win by 2 PlayStation players out here selling almost every game I play and there’s almost no Xbox users
Damn Brute got 452 people watching the premier!!! Big Brute!
2k labs literally stated that your green window fluctuates with every shot you take...like bro what? Like if you speed up or slow down my shot based on coverage, situation, etc.? Fine. But moving the green window constantly on even a regular stand still open shot is straight up bs. There's nothing anyone can do to convince me otherwise
Man for the last 3 years or so the worst thing u could do as a big was block a shot at rim because they act like when they jump when they land their legs have to be reconstructed before u can move so ur just looking at a ball 1 ft from u someone gets it and scores before ur surgery is done. Just take pogo stick out of game because clearly it doesn’t help bigs… and like everything else it works best on small builds.
Best advice I can say is put your visual cue in the wrist flick between push and release.! That’s the key. Stop being muscle memory shooting and learn the cue! I went from 30-40% and in park I got clips shooting fine. And think around 50% Trust me
The reason the matchmaking isn’t working and taking so long is because a lot of people just aren’t using it. That’s the plain truth if we’re talking about the squad finder.
Is there unskippable timeouts now? Because I can’t skip them now, holding X and pressing X doesn’t work
Just loosen the rules on the algorithm and games will come again. Quick fix.
Bruh! That facial expression your thumbnail! 🤣😭💀
Sid dude not lying, I have proof myself too on my ig. I just went 10-12 from the field and 3/4 from deep . Step back 3s , pull up 3s , spot up all that. I love rhythm shooting what a beautiful invention ‼️‼️💯
Just give it time. Most people probably are still grinding their character, didn’t pay the full amount for a 90 overall character, or just don’t have time to grind to 99. Queue times will get faster as the year goes on.
I just started micro adjusting my jump shot. I complained before but I put in the work with the systems at hand. Adjust the jump shot to your timing not adjust to the jump shot. You might lose a few games adjusting but at least you’ll end of with a better result for the rest of the year.
Why am I getting the same rise banner every day? 😩😩😩
The community drove a lot of the player base away.
I invested in a 89 dunk and 78 vertical to unlock contact dunks on my SG. However, my player will constantly choose to do the most laziest layup animation over a contact dunk or any dunk for that matter. Or you invest in defense to unlock gold challenger and on/off ball pest but the blow-by's are still rampant. Make it make sense, 2K. Shooting aside, some changes are needed ASAP or this game won't even make it to Thanksgiving before it's cooked.
Lack of general smarts. Perfectly describes the wider community.
So true even me when I started Playing 2K with 2k18 but just as I wanted to play that 2K the servers went down so I started Playing 2K with Nba 2k19 until 2K25 so over the years I learned to play the game and always manage to adjust how to play the game so just take some time to learn it
This game needs to be fixed in so many ways
NBA 2k25 The Crash Out 😭😭😂😂
The compilations gone be wild
People complain about shooting but I see ppl who can shoot consistently, it may be you! Use the mycourt sliders to practice
Nah they had 50 reveals and a whole community day and the whole time it was focused on every feature EXCEPT shooting until launch. Spending the first few months going back and forth about shooting on a franchise game with a limited life cycle DECREASES THE VALUE of the experience.
They gotta fix the matchmaking in pro am too. It’s no reason for my squad to only be 2-0 and have to play a top 40 team in the WORLD for our 3rd game ever in pro am then play them again on our 5th game 🤦🏾♂️
Rhythm shooting and go to shots is goated
Exactly…😄🤫
Shooting feels different from Day 1 I just want Day 1 shooting back. But my real issue is the lag
worst thing about 2k is people spamming steals the whole game cause u get fouled out at 6 fouls for a game to 21 , they should put it down to 3-4 fouls per game, its not like we're playing 4 Quarters, just sayin
That’s crazy. Some people just don’t have any sense
Brute, nobody wants to waste days and weeks of their time figuring out a game that gets replaced EVERY YEAR! This isn’t world of Warcraft. This whole dedicate your life to figure out shooting in a game that no one will be talking about in a year is ridiculous. Ain’t nobody got time for dat. They gotta make shooting better for the MAJORITY of people. Period. End of story.
FACTS!!!! I can’t stand ppl who think we tryna be on this 24/7 just to shoot.
It seems like the shooting caters to my career… open Klay Thompson shouldn’t be shooting inconsistently… the game isn’t sim, it’s designed to generate money. I’m hitting shots… it’s just inconsistent regardless of the release.( in my team)
Just because you’re wide open doesn’t mean you should hit the shot 100% of the time. Steph Curry is the best shooter ever because his shot is pretty close to being a 50/50 open from anywhere.
If you feel the vibration in the controller you’ll know and when to shoot the contested feedback is just broken
I agree ! This is a great game, and the Zen is built in thru the rhythm shooting, once you figure that out, percentage will go to the moon !!
Nobody with 90+ 3ball and wide open should be missing often 🤷♂️
This 2k is super good at shooting . Alot people don’t know how to use the new mechanics
Sid is right it’s like it’s a ghost contest when your defender is up close close on you, you need a nice gap in between you in your defender to make those open shots and it all depends on the persons defense badges you can ofc hit some tight and light pressure shots mostly over smaller guards I’ve tested this out again Kawhi In my court and it actually works. Also if your a defender can have they hands down and you can hit that just gotta time it right I’ve pulled up in plenty people face fading etc. if you know your shot you can hit it
Don't change the shooting their is actually a skill gap this year ✊🏽💯
I was in the theater last night and was winning. My opponent quit mid game play and I receive no rep. How am I supposed to rep up if people quit mid game.. 😩 Suggestions?
I don't like that the cap breakers are behind the rep. Casual players will struggle to get 5 of them. I try to play about 3 to 4 hours a day n i already see its going to be a struggle. I hope next year they do something different.
Idk why they implemented sbmm. This the same frustration cod players have, taking to long to get games.
I personally hate the 2K community I have never asked for a skill gap. But I'm just casual I think one of the problems is a lot of people worry about other people in this community worry about yourself just like in life.
For me, the biggest issues are steals being OP, and the servers being complete garbage. This laggy shit is why I haven't found a consistent shot yet. I will test out a new jumper in my court, hit like 17/20 greens, think I have it down...and then in park it's all bricks. And it obviously due to the delay to an extent...because my guy is also sliding and taking extra steps when I stop moving. 2K remains the only online game I can think of where we can't see our ping to the server...hmm wonder why huh?
I’m in the military I don’t get a lot of chances to be on the game. I will say this first. I don’t want a buff to shooting. There should be a skill gap. But you shouldn’t be forced to miss especially if you times the shot correctly. That’s not a skill gap, that’s bailing a player out who decided to leave you open if you’re good shooter and not a bad one cos they want to try to bait a player and suck on off ball defense.
BUT, I’m finally a center again after two years of being forced to play pf and sf cos yall made 6’9 meta centers that can do it all.
But coming from someone who was shooting 39% from 3 and was genuinely interested in learning how to shoot better when I want to hop on my SF…. Listening to old dude speak on shooting sounded like a drunk conspiracy theorist trying to convince me the world is going to end… it should never be that deep and it made me never want to try to learn… I understand yall comp players I’m not downing yall game at all, but there are casuals who just want to play the game for an hour n then get on with their lives. That hour a lot of times can’t be spent in the mycourt or Gatorade facility or pro am trying to figure out to green with moving green windows, different animations, no pure green window (I’ll believe it when I see it I’m not taking anything anyone says if it ain’t badgeplug, 2ktutes, or 2klabs. Some YTs and some yall in the comment sections are in 2k pockets and will defend the game like yall get paid for it), a thousand timings, and latency and lag spikes and from the sound of the conspiracy theorist, he been trying to crack the code since game dropped imagine what it’s like for a casual who doesn’t nearly have much time to play nor practice.
I’m not saying buff shooting at all but players shouldn’t be forced to miss. That’s all. And please buff interior and perimeter… so these guys can stop running round spamming square calling themselves “lockdowns”… in all reality some lockdowns are trash at defense and just rely on 99 steal to carry them. I like SOME of the animations on defense, the cut off comes in clutch SOMETIMES, use them. I’m good on defense, But still the contest system just doesn’t make sense to me
Adding RNG to the game does not increase the skill gap… how is me missing the game winning shot knowing I timed it right a skill issue? The fact that I can time my shit everytime don’t take skill?
If it takes too long to find people on your skill level at 99 then it’s way too early to be enough people that are 99 to go up against. Give it time and try going back on your 99s around holiday seasons. I guarantee there will be quicker queue times then.
Smh I noticed yall put together I plan to stroll me😤 I may seem crazy but im not stupid. But I do feel where ‘Cid’ is coming from & you’re right there is a right window. I do need to focus more on my shot timing🤔💭💡
My only main issue with 2k is buff pass. I have a 91 pass acc, and these guys are lane stealing backward. They got eyes back of there head. I can't even nutmeg like I used to. BRING PASSING BACK
Passes don’t need to buffed. The lane steals need to be toned down.
@@souloshinobi7307 either one works incase they leave steals they way they are
Nadex is not a kid or even a young adult anymore. He looks crazy raging over a videogame.
The devs should not listen to the community after they drop the game. Just have observers in the game and give them feedback.
From my understanding of playing the game there is a pure green window, but it’s not the same as last year; it moves, as 2K Labs has shown. If you hit those pure green windows, you won’t miss your shot.
Also, “perfectly releasing” your shot and then blaming it on “RNG” isn’t valid. If you shoot the ball using your visual cue, you won’t miss. The pure green windows barely move, so if you’re truly perfecting your timing during the 570-600 millisecond increment, you won’t miss. After your first four shots, whether you hit or miss, adjust your timing to be slightly later, and you’ll start hitting those shots(this where you’re cue helps).
Using Rhythm shooting makes shooting so ridiculously easy its not even funny. (Me and the boys are shooting >55% from three and if they fixed latency it would be even higher. Thats not to say that we didn’t struggle in the beginning because we definitely did😭) Sid is not lying imo🤷🏽♂️👀
Gang u are a human not god u really think yo lil ass brain can react in the milliseconds everytime without any indicator that let u know yo shot gon change bffr yall think yall god show me one human who can react that fast every time niggas think they goku or sum😂
Is this years 2k worth it?
What about people quitting in Theater when u play 1 on 1. I got 5 quits in a row. No rep, no AI, no VC. Playing a whole game and then getting quit on
Screw shooting. When are we going to speak on this garbage level 40 reward? Easily the worst and most money hungry reward in history. It’s legit disrespectful because it shows they think for the entire cycle you are expected to keep making builds in order to get ANY use from the reward
Regarding the shoot like contested vs not contested. If you haven’t don’t the deadeye shooting drill in mycareer you won’t get this. There is a difference. And what he said makes sense.
How am I contested when that ish be saying WIDE OPEN 😂
It's sad how so many can't adjust 😢
I couldn't hit any shots started using rhythm shooting changed the game
I like sid but if the people who have programs and modded controllers can't find a pure green windows then I'm going to stick with their data. I don't think the shooting is as bad as I previously thought but the random animations in every facet of the game is annoying.
lol my only thing with the game is the stuff people are saying to help you shoot is not new they say watch your jumper that’s been a thing they say get your hotspots that’s been a thing like I’m trying to find something new I seen somebody say it’s the timing stability ima try that and see what happens lol
I just want to hit wide open shots with my 86 3pter
And the rebound to be more predictable… wtf is going on with the rebound animations?!
It's the fact dribbling is also garbage combined with lower 3pt%
That man said there’s a pure green window in mycareer… bruh the RNG is only in online.
Notice how his fg% dont match his 3pt% he was forcing 2’s everytime he made 2-3 3’s😂 to reset that green window shouldn’t have to do that u don’t have to get a layup in real life to make a wide open 3
Everyone talking about shooting but nobody notice the driving dunk frequency in this game? I can’t dunk to save my life and when I do get a open lane I get stripped from behind (PAUSE)
That’s realistic protect the ball youngin😂
I alternate rhythm shooting and square I use square 3/4 of the time and soon I feel anything like a algorithm I switch to rhythm for the next shot and shockingly it goes in 80% of the time then I go back to square
Why everybody and their momma feel like they have to shoot 3's all the time they have layups dunks, middys all kind
So is it overall based matchmaking or skill based?
All I learned is tht 2k25 exposed alotta players who was either patched made or had zens 🤷🏾♂️
They definitely didn't intend to have it that way. It's not even street smarts atp it's common sense Brute. 😂 Like why would they have rep for something you grinded in my career when they offer you gear in the season pass that give you rep. It's literally sleeves that give you 1.1 or 1.5 rep per game. They was so thirsty over that Goat outfit that they just overlooked it 🤭🤣🤦♂️ Dope video Brute!❤
It takes me at least 10 mins or more to a game in random rec I would have honestly been a superstar 3. This is making me not wanting to play 2k.
10:49 you sounded like Tyrese 😂😂😂
What about the goat and dynasty jersey heard they patched it when I'm 2 chips in lol
The downfall of 2k is the crossplay. The lag since then has been insane.
Shooting is diffcult because the game so laggy.
I can almost guarantee. Everyone can hit in their my courts but whos. Mastered the lag spikes. Is the skill gap which is lame to me.
