2k needs to realize that this game is only popular because we love basketball. adding things like Foreign teams, classic presentations, real world parks, etc would make a major difference. I'm primarily a Mycareer player and most of the Mycareer stories barely focus on basketball. They're about social media reps and branding more than an up and coming player paving his own legacy.
@@improbablyyourdad8458 2k11 along with 2k16 are the greatest 2k games ever imo. 2k11 had the perfect vibe, down to the gameplay, music, blacktop (with celebrities), & crew mode. Feel bad for anyone that didn’t get to experience 2k11
Facts is so much they can do. Madden is the same just fix the dang presentation part and realism it’s like we’re telling them but they don’t cares 2k and Madden needs a competitive competition that’ll make them care more instead of being the only consumer product.
@@CheddyBobfell off so fast after 16. I know people loved 17, but it was a downgrade from 16 in every conceivable way, yet nobody wants to admit it because of how fun the community was at that point. Then 2k started chasing everything it was never meant to be. 18 unveiled their new clunky ass gameplay engine we have now to this day, that absolutely sucks. They brought the “neighborhood” which also sucked, having my court and just being able to go to parks from the menu was way better, faster and simpler. 2k used to be about basketball, now it’s just a cringy trend chaser
@rich4446 its cuz thats the year they put automatic dribble moves in the left stick and defense in the right. Ever since then dribble sucked and became spamming and unpredictable instead of learning which combo you enjoy using.
@@rich4446 so the legend of 2k18 is true. It truly was that bad apparently. Literally everybody has said this. I think i saw like one video for it. It was agent 00 but he was just going back playing all the old 2k games. That was years ago..
Bro, this is why you’re one of my favorite RUclipsrs because somebody has finally acknowledged the state that the park is in and how the game has strayed so far away from the vibe and aesthetic of the park from 2K 15 2K 16. You really hit the nail on the head of how 2K park feels like Fortnite more than it does basketball and when 2K finally pushes the game towards the realistic vibe and environment, people are gonna like the park more.
@@dwill95this years nba2k game has the most negative reviews than any other nba 2k games so I think they will be slightly better next game but if they continue to somehow shit the bed then they gotta go fr
we gotta get rid of the city....and honestly park kind of sucks now, bc of how long it can take to actually get a game.....which is fine you can go to Theatre for matchmaking, however then you get penalized by lower rep/attribute...they've forced us into REC for higher rep and attributes etc, but then we get penalized if we want to quit. Having horrible teammates, and brutal HOF AI is insane to be penalized for.....I've loaded in and automatically gotten an AI, so basically my game is wrecked and i can't quit or i risk getting banned
For real if you want to rep or you want to get anything decent you have to play Rec everywhere else is just playing because you like 3s,2s or 1s no benefits anywhere.
@@alexmedero828 chasing games is less than ideal. It’s a bit ridiculous to have that many courts and still not being to get games. I’d rather go to proam
this guy spitting facts!! however the aggressive and predatory micro transactions are the main issue.. 2k have worked out that making a quality, Creative consumer friendly game is not a priority.. there priority is putting out the same recycled crap every year flooding there game with pay to play micro transactions to try and get you to empty your bank account regularly. untill people stop dumping money into this product every year 2k will continue to put out a garbage product that is quite literally a online micro transaction money pit....
Once I had to start skateboarding for 15 mins to go to a park I stopped playing the game as much. 2k20 was the first 2k I played A LOT and it was nice to load into the park and you could see all the courts immediately, go practice in the penthouse, go to footlocker for all shoes, pro am was right next to the park too. Sometimes I’d load into a park and see one of my friends in a game and I could just pull up and play them. Everything now is too complicated and money oriented. The reason we have to go to 10 separate stores is so 2k can advertise the brands. The only way to put shots up is by going to the Gatorade facility. They’ve made it so you have to workout in a GAME for WEEKS just to get new body types????? The only way to get lethal hot zones is the art of shooting facility. You’re forced to play ‘key’ games in mycareer. At this point I just load up, do my daily spin and go to the rec. There’s zero incentive to do anything else around the city
Bro u exactly like me u can even see my channel my first2k was 19 my favourite sport is football or soccer whatever u guys call it but I started watching nba abit more n then I bought 2k and fell in love with the game from 19 to 20 most fun I ever had on games. Then I got to 21 I got bored of it after 3 months and never played since 22 was similar 23 similar 24 I completely stopped playing I just want to feel like how I did on 20
@@ebm2000 I’m one of few people that actually like career mode but since I made a center even career is bad. As soon as I catch the ball in the post it’s a double team, then I pass to the wide open AI who greens every shot. It’s so incredibly boring. Then when I sim games my player is averaging 50 points, 25 rebounds, 20 assists. It’s not even a challenge to win mvp or dpoy. Ive felt it way more the last few weeks while I wait for my WiFi to be fixed. In other games I can still play online with average WiFi with a few hitches here and there with 2k servers the game just freezes for 5 seconds at a time which means I absolutely cannot play online. I’m stuck with playing career for now where I could get a triple double with my eyes closed. At the very least they could make career games fun but when I’m getting double teamed from the first quarter it means I’m just watching my AI teammates break the 3pt record every other game I play cod too and I’m fine 90% of the time using my shitty WiFi but with 2k I’m getting kicked every other game or lagging to the point I need to quit for my team to have a chance, then I get a ban warning. When I had my fibre optic it was perfectly fine playing online but I shouldn’t need the absolute highest tier of internet connection to have an enjoyable gaming experience
lol nah the park in 24 looks like some futurama type ish 😂 like wth is going on u spot on with the disconnect part hooping near a active volcano is crazy inhaling ash is crazy they don’t even change them 😆
Park is the reason why the game is bad 😂😂 y’all dont never wanna grind mycareer no more! totally abandon the storylines & grind cause you can earn badge processing in rec & park
The picture of the park you showed at 1:31, is the local park I played at as a kid in bayside queens. It’s such a low key hidden spot, never thought I’d see it on RUclips 20 years later. Thank you for the nostalgia 🙏
It's the microtransactions. It is over the top. The pay-to-win mechanic. Its offensive over Defense and the cheese. Its how to get more money out of the players instead of improving the game. Its overdone. It does need to be more grounded too as you were saying.
I hate working so hard for badges ,in2k22 ,you can play mycareer and get a badge for just playing 2 games, like 2k20 you could be a 65 overall with hof shooting badges ,then 2k23 made you work so hard for badges and spend so much money on your debit card just to hit 82 overall and barely any badges and 2k24 even want you to work just so you can get a daily spin when in 2k22 you can be lvl 1 60 overall and spin the wheel everyday without working for it
You were on point with this 1. That Cod comparison was true.They were tryna be like titanfall at the time. In 2k's case, they're tryna be like fortnite with all the bullshit emotes, skins, seasons etc. 2k is losing it's realistic unique charm that we fell in love with.
I fuck with your criticism, I was heavy on 2K from 2K12 all the way to 2k20 Some of my fondest memories where grinding out in the park in 18, 19 and 20 with my people, it was vibrant, gritty, and competitive. The criticism of the city is valid, it takes way too much effort to play the game anymore. For your normal average player it’s never going to stick. I think the idea was ok when we went to next gen, gotta get something new, but honestly people didn’t want that. I wanted to grind out with my people on the park, or rec, and then get rewarded for playing. The biggest problem 2K came across for me was micro transactions, and it’s a problem that basically every game is plagued with. They make too much money. From it I stopped playing after 2K20 cause after I hit SS3 the rewards didn’t work and the 2K devs didn’t care, In 2k20 at SS2 you where supposed to get double VC and it never worked the whole year. They tried to offer me like 3000 VC and I was like alright man. Really killed the deal.
You have a point but understand this modern gaming is dead they can’t do nothing to make the game playable ever again the game will only gonna get worst gaming isn’t fun anymore anyways because of microtransactions and in game purchases it’s sad how gaming is even getting boring
I think a problem is realism I know a lot of people don’t like it but being able to do crazy shots is fun when it’s you and i think that’s missing from the game now and being incredibly fast on the dribble dunking on anybody this what we liked. Also another major problem is the environment we come to hoop I don’t want to run around for hours to get on the game and also I want to feel like I’m hopping in from Europe we don’t play basketball as much as Us so when I virtually get the chance to feel like an nyc baller it’s cool
It’s the same game different year 🤷🏾♂️ they change the cover to make you buy the same 💩! It’s just boring . The game is for old mfs in they 40s and young kids .
Not saying your wrong but there are things(In my Opinion) that you left out. All the 2K's you mentioned from past to present, had some sort of cheese, micro transactions are thru the roof, players cheating/hacking and gameplay was in fact a major issue regardless of what game mode you play a lot or prefer to play. At this point, I believe 2K is targeting a different audience. People that truly know what basketball consists of, are the very same people that find 2K dead. Like the lava court for example, that's something a kid would most likely find "cool" vs someone like me or as you simply stated, "realism". 2K needs to scrap everything and start over. Make a new game every other year. That should give enough time to make a fully, well made developed game. Get rid of the cheese, get rid of or atleast lower the prices of micro transactions, fix all of random bugs, install anti cheat system(Or whatever it's called).
I personally think that we should get rid of the city and go back to park. I feel like the latency has been so bad because of how big the map is. Parks look aesthetically better too. I also personally loved 2k16, 2k17 and 2k19 gameplay. 2k22 being a honorable mention. I love the arcade feel from those 2ks I hate the super realistic gameplay. If I’m gonna play realistic ima go and drive to the local irl park lol. I hop on the game to have fun and be competitive. Arcade gameplay will forever be my favorite. I buy 2k every year starting from 2k16 when I was 15 years old. I’m sad to say I barely played 23 and barely played 24. The game is just so boring and it feels like I have to grind harder and longer for badges boost vc and overalls. Game needs a hard reset.
Good criticism. archeotypes forcing people to play to a certain strength is what ruined this game. Literally from 2k17 - 2k22 if you created your maxed out my player in “create a player” option the true overall was like 84 but in mycareer it would tell you 99 OVR. 2k14-16 rewarded skill because everything was in the game, meaning is you had the skill you could do anything. 17’ I realized very quickly that my IQ didn’t matter and it was more about my build and it’s limitations, which is why later 2ks struggled with unbalanced game breaking mettas like lockdowns and stretch bigs. *edit* 15 and 16 had the smoothest gameplay out of any 2k I’ve played. besides the weird try hards spamming the logic to the game.
Back in the day when you could play blacktop online and use different celebrities 💯 And I wouldn’t blame the popular YTubers because certain stuff that they do are a response to how 2K has things shaped - making meta build videos -> helps us because a casual player has to spend $50 or more on a build just to find out something like spd w ball or a certain rating isn’t viable - Or playing the meta -> has happened because certain elements in basketball like floaters weren’t as efficient in the older games (18-23)
It’s to much bs goin on in every game. I’m not sayin I’m the best player. I make mistakes. That’s ok. However, the ball goes through my body/hand to often. The weird animations you’re forced into is terrible. Standing in front of someone doesn’t matter. They drop the ball pick it right back up. Post scorers can’t be contested. But it’s not consistent the other way around. Some ppl just get away with ridiculous gameplay the entire time. Which makes the game not fun. Imagine playing smarter than your opponent but they get away with constant ridiculousness
The move list in 15 and 16 had so many options too and gameplay just played more fluid but lets not act like 24 isnt unrealistic as well guards still spam the same dribble moves to the point the gane boring whether you can stop it or not
Heavy disagree on the 2K15 gameplay. ITS A VIDEO GAME. It’s meant to be fast paced and based on stick skill and getting open. 2k15 wasn’t letting people hit contested shots throughout the whole year, that was at the end of the 2k15 with patch 4 and demigods.
Nice video bro! I think that the best part was that in 2k14-15-16-the gameplay was unrealistic and the environment was realistic. That’s what made it fun I mean, when your opponent makes a wild shot you will blame 2k you will be like 2kaaayyy (Not balming yourself or your friend for not playing great defence ) I mean hell we wanted to play even if the 3ed guy was a random WE JUST WANTED TO PLAY AND HAVE FUN!! And if you make a wildshot, you’ll laugh with your friends And be like damn😂😂 When your lose to a 100% contested shot, you’ll get mad A room for error ..and everyone can play All builds could do everything and they are all the same Pie charts and limited my player builder Ruined everything
Adding something Contact dunks were overpowered BUT every build or player can abuse it And it was hella fun Sometimes when you get dunked on you want the ball just to get back at them and it wasss eaaaassssyyy I don’t know why but we used to get hyped when these things happen Adding trash talking and all😂😂😂 Nowadays no hype on dunks , selfish fastbreaks (barely you see a lob) everything is serious no room for mistakes we only want to score the (safest) way (quick drops , straight Tomahawks no flashy dunks )and get W’s That’s saaaad
This was very well done & logical. Great point about if Cod just randomly added the Ray Gun to multiplayer, everybody would freak out, yet in 2K we have to deal with tons of unrealistic things
I think a game needs op moves and things like that. Being too realistic is boring and not fun and should be for stage or ranked play. When 2k leans to a more arcade gameplay is way more fun
I agree to a point but what made 2k15-17 the prime of 2k was the community, nice parks, and smooth feeling gameplay but the main part is the COMMUNITY not the way it looks but the city is garbage in my opinion they need to remove the city The real issue aswell is the vc prices and no rep system
They should add real world parks and have the parks turn into take over like vibes. Huge crowds surrounding the park, talking trash, picking sides. For example if your team keeps winning on a specific court the crowd can start migrating over to your court, away from another, and rooting for your team. And every challenging team that comes on will have to shut up the crowd and win. Just to add intensity to the atmosphere. The crowds will be made up of NPCs and other players waiting to get on the court to play. Lets say in a park of like 8-10 courts, on one court a team is on a 7-8 game winning streak in 3v3s or something, the crowd of NPCs will be growing steadily, getting more rowdy. By win 10 any challenging team that can knock them off while also doing highlight worthy plays throughout the game, can trigger the crowd changing sides and storming the court in favor for the challengers. However if the streaking teams wins, the crowd will storm the court and taunt the losing team to their faces, (other myplayers can join in the storming the court and will have the ability to taunt losing teams for like 15 seconds before the next game is set up). During games where the crowd is pretty big, like say 30-40 bystanders, players on the court can taunt the trash talkers in the crowd after a good play, like a step back 3 or a blocked dunk especially if the crowd is rooting against you. And if you're on the streaking team the crowd is rooting for, you can goad the crowd to get louder when its like game point or you're about to iso a defender. Like waving your arms at the crowd, putting your hand to your ear. If there are multiple teams on winning streaks the NPCs will split up and go to each of those courts. VC, teammate grade and other rewards will be the same (just hopefully cheaper and without the skill regression). Nba live 19 already has that vibe kinda with the cuts after baskets to phone cameras from the crowd for replays. But with 2k i know they can get deals with RUclipsrs like ballislife, the next chapter and capture the energy from their park runs. Minus the cursing of course.
I feel what you saying G, trust me I do….. but If you want realistic go outside. You make valid points Fs, but the purpose of playing a game is for it to be fun and enjoyable. That’s what the rec is for (realism), and it is safe to say Steph curry and plenty other good shooters, shoot in people face. Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards dunks on anything under the rim. As far as the parks go you are 1000% right 2015, 16, 17, was dope parks. And other words find your nitch realism equals rec, arcade Equals Park…. Keep up the good work.👍🏾
This guy was spot on and I never realized it the environment is off. We need real parks and the green or miss system turned off that’s the only thing unrealistic besides the park
I got my one an only character to 98 and quit. Battle passes killed it for me. The shooting in the beginning and the changes that followed. So I gir better but around season 3 I was exhausted. Buying shoes and weird gear also is unrealistic
We gonna see a lot of negative videos towards 2k since nba live is trying to make a come back. The nba live team is paying good money for persuasive videos right now. 2k is king though
Cap bro the game weak asf point blank period all that environmental bs and all that ain’t got nun to do with it plus the community that made it all left
The park is a casual mode ,I don’t mind slightly unrealistic stuff in park gameplay wise ,thats what made those myplayer modes better imo .fun gameplay thats realistic is better than unrealistic world with realistic gameplay
The issues that plague the park is what the COMMUNITY ASKED FOR YALL let AGENT DUKE AND OTHERS SPEAK and they don’t even play it 😂 The community ruined what 2k simulation experience turned to let us have fun with builds and everyone can be WEMBY or spam the same curry builds it’s not fun to me lay against no More no one is different When 2k24 came out there were 91s in the first two days I turned that shit off
Problem is that people still buy the game and dump money into microtransactions. Despite the people saying "2K sucks, etc etc)", the fact is that 2k23 grossed around $15 million more than 2k22. Gamers don't seem to grasp that no game company gives a shit what they say...only how they spend. So people can complain as much as they want, 2K will keep doing what it's doing because, for all the whining, players keep forking over cash. I also wonder how much of a role the NBA plays in this. The NBA controls their trademark and charges 2K for its use. In return, I'm sure the NBA demands a certain level of return from 2K, which could also be driving them. I can guarantee that the target revenue never goes down, only up and if that's the case then 2K is in a way being forced to become greedy just to pay for the logo and trademarks that it relies on.
2k is a game for children. That’s why it sucks. We need a game LeBron & MJ would spend hours playing. A game that is so much like basketball, NBA players would rather play it than go to their practices. A Basketball game at the level of Hellblade combat. Or dark souls combat.
2k moving backwards everything I wanted when I was younger they’re doing it now. For Ex: The Goat points , passing up legends in MC, having cars in the park etc 😂. having extra quests in the park lol. Now it’s not worth it bc of Rec, Park etc 😂🤣
I remember I had 2K16 and they changed up the park a bit. One of em had a HUGE aquarium in the background and I just knew they’d get even more over the top. I stopped playing 2K after 2K16 and sad to say to myself I was right. Smh.
2k has tried to get away from the “park” “street ball” type of game since like 2k18. Idk if it’s to please advertisers or what but I don’t think they’re going back. Games don’t usually go back to a “street” feel after they get big. GTA, NFL, Street, 2K
Nba 2K aint hit the same since 2k17 lmfaoo. Shits just different now and every since they dropped the whole “Sunset, River Park and Old flyers”, shit it was just ass. Park became a joke and that was like a super unique feature that actually made people play. Imo that shit just turned garbage when they removed that. And at the end of the day, every game is just the same. So boring and stale
If Dey made matchmaking (rec cause dats what I play) to where you only play wit people 1-3 levels higher or lower den your overall gameplay would be better, I should be getting on da game juss making a build at 85 and playing wit 60s , being 90 overall playing wit 70s or 99 overall playing wit 85s
My sentiment exactly. Give us gyms like the art of shooting gym or Chris Brickley for Rec/Park. Been playing since Deamcast and this shit is exactly that 💩💩💩because of the futuristic crap. 2k started tailoring the franchise to goofies. Just make a goofy game solely for them and leave realism to real basketball fans/enthusiast.
Trash rewards, Expensive builds and you have to pay some money because for free to play it’s unreasonable for myplayer “time”. Lastly shoes cool, but all clothing just being reused every 2k is a joke. I love skill gap but with different shot timings for everything plus ghost speed ups and slow down you literally can’t help but feel like despite how good you’re shooting you will miss shots you probably shouldn’t have.
Doesn't hit the same anymore because they put badges in and then they don't mean shit. HOF OPEN LOOKS w a 94 3 and missing wide open slightlys. HOF corner specialist and missing wide open corner with slightly due to minor game lag. Or no lag at all. Defensive badges are the only thing that matters in this game. But then a 6'9 w a 73 3 point rating hitting contested first shots lol
2k today is straight S bc it's all about park park park and not about basketball simulation. The basketball representation is so bad... player movement is atrocious just for the sake of selling vc, transition basketball is direct garbage or non-existent since 2k19 bc 2k doesn't need it for park, it turned out to be a stupid "skills" mini game with a basketball skin on it. Go play 2k14 or ncaa 10 if you want a game of basketball.
One problem that I have with 2K24 is that they make the NBA in the Mycareer a waste of time. I used the NBA Mycareer all the time but now It just boring trash and you earn more by playing other game modes why don't they just separate them and make Park/My Team its own game like Warzone
U lost me when u said the gameplay should be realistic. Park was made to be a casual mode to get away from the traditional nba 5v5 games. Ur supposed to hop on get sum buckets and have fun. 2k16 parks were unrealistic but it was the best park experience and still praised to this day. Them tryin to push “realism” is wat killed the game.
Park is completely dead. The layout is HORRIBLE. Theater and Rec are the only viable options nowadays. PS4 2k22 version was my shit man many 2s courte near eachother not spaced out too much. They should copy that or 2k17
The park will never be realistic until they make it harder to score than in 5v5 modes. It’s harder to score in street ball in real life than in actual games with referees. It’s way more physical, there could be no fouls being called, you got someone trying to embarrass you, a fight is always something that could happen, and real life people have nothing to lose lol. I’ve never felt like the park was a challenging mode, it’s just mycareer with full sliders and fake stuff.
Imagine this: all the top players refuse to buy VC and instead agree to regulate the competitive modes so everyone grinds and plays without spending a dime. All of a sudden, 2K isn't selling VC and then they will actually start paying attention to the complaints. The only way to touch any game company is it's bottom line and 2K, for all the complaints, keeps making more money each year.
Nobody wants to address the real problem. Nba 2k is 2 different games. Online and the rest of us. You online players ruined the game. You guys moan and complain but still throw them millions and millions of dollars every year. Of course the game won't improve. Blame yourselves.
I think it's cheaper to design the futuristic trash. 2k is probably making their games with as little income as possible and making BANK of of ppl still buying the games. I played from nba2k to 2k20. Fuck 2k
Man 2k literally is ass because of the community especially the ones who was just bad at the game anyway literally from 2k16 to 2K24 every year yall had something to complain and cry about and wanted the developers to take out for example 2k19 ppl cried about stretch 4s shooting over ppl when we see KD do it every other night in real life they also complained about the dribbling back when they had crackhead dribbling the only ppl who complained was ppl who was ass and couldn’t stop it or couldn’t dribble like that themselves they complained until they took dribbling out the game they removed a lot of things from the game ppl complained about now the game is ass it’s the 2k community fault why the game is how it is
I don’t really care bout environment tbh. It’s a nice thing to have but not my core problem. I feel like everybody just plays ball handler at the top and two corner or a dude hiding behind screens. It was still happening in early 2Ks but that’s all there is now. Jamal Murray behind the back and that’s it. I just play rec with my friends now cause at least you have a chance of variety. Everyone just plays the same in the park 👎🏽

Why NBA 2K Doesn’t Hit The Same Anymore (MyCAREER 🏆) Edition Out Now - ruclips.net/video/rkSJx22DMpY/видео.html
2k needs to realize that this game is only popular because we love basketball.
adding things like Foreign teams, classic presentations, real world parks, etc would make a major difference.
I'm primarily a Mycareer player and most of the Mycareer stories barely focus on basketball. They're about social media reps and branding more than an up and coming player paving his own legacy.
Not gonna lie , I be skipping every cutscene & just tryna get my attribute upgrades 😭 But it’s crazy how MyCareer doesn’t feel the same as well
@@Nayeem4K I came up on 2k11 and I'm ngl I prefer not having cutscenes. My career used to be about achieving accolades and paving your journey.
@@improbablyyourdad8458 2k11 along with 2k16 are the greatest 2k games ever imo. 2k11 had the perfect vibe, down to the gameplay, music, blacktop (with celebrities), & crew mode. Feel bad for anyone that didn’t get to experience 2k11
Facts is so much they can do. Madden is the same just fix the dang presentation part and realism it’s like we’re telling them but they don’t cares 2k and Madden needs a competitive competition that’ll make them care more instead of being the only consumer product.
@@Flossy2K.Holy moly. 2k11. I was 14. Playing on moms xbox 360 with my brother. The good days.
The fact the parks in 2k15 which is like a 10 year old, looks better than the parks in 2k24 is crazy
They was saying the same thing 10 years ago. Idk how nobody has caught on. 2k has been shitty for a loooooooong time
@@CheddyBobfell off so fast after 16. I know people loved 17, but it was a downgrade from 16 in every conceivable way, yet nobody wants to admit it because of how fun the community was at that point.

Bro, this is why you’re one of my favorite RUclipsrs because somebody has finally acknowledged the state that the park is in and how the game has strayed so far away from the vibe and aesthetic of the park from 2K 15 2K 16. You really hit the nail on the head of how 2K park feels like Fortnite more than it does basketball and when 2K finally pushes the game towards the realistic vibe and environment, people are gonna like the park more.
Appreciate You Bro 💯 hopefully 2K realizes this & executes a change like this correctly
To tell u the truth they not changing anything if we still buy the game every year, every it’s the same issue they not gonna change anything
@@dwill95this years nba2k game has the most negative reviews than any other nba 2k games so I think they will be slightly better next game but if they continue to somehow shit the bed then they gotta go fr
It is fornite. That's why I stopped playing.

we gotta get rid of the city....and honestly park kind of sucks now, bc of how long it can take to actually get a game.....which is fine you can go to Theatre for matchmaking, however then you get penalized by lower rep/attribute...they've forced us into REC for higher rep and attributes etc, but then we get penalized if we want to quit. Having horrible teammates, and brutal HOF AI is insane to be penalized for.....I've loaded in and automatically gotten an AI, so basically my game is wrecked and i can't quit or i risk getting banned
You definitely need to get more rewarded for park games you don’t even get .1% for winning and you only get 300vc shit don’t make sense
@@b0Okem right? Like 5 games and i can afford more boost. Vs 2 rec games
For real if you want to rep or you want to get anything decent you have to play Rec everywhere else is just playing because you like 3s,2s or 1s no benefits anywhere.
Nah the city got to go bring park back
@@alexmedero828 chasing games is less than ideal. It’s a bit ridiculous to have that many courts and still not being to get games. I’d rather go to proam
Take me back to the 2K14/2K15 days. 2Kleague ruined casual 2K and it’s foundations.
the shooting meter has been busted since like 2017!! its all about hop step shots now
I didn't know why I was getting tired of 2K but you hit right on the money. The environments are too unrealistic 😂😂😂😂
I didn’t know either until I sat back & really thought about it 😭
If it was more realistic the delay would be way worse😂😂 they need to bring the 2k20 park back
this guy spitting facts!! however the aggressive and predatory micro transactions are the main issue.. 2k have worked out that making a quality, Creative consumer friendly game is not a priority.. there priority is putting out the same recycled crap every year flooding there game with pay to play micro transactions to try and get you to empty your bank account regularly. untill people stop dumping money into this product every year 2k will continue to put out a garbage product that is quite literally a online micro transaction money pit....
Once I had to start skateboarding for 15 mins to go to a park I stopped playing the game as much. 2k20 was the first 2k I played A LOT and it was nice to load into the park and you could see all the courts immediately, go practice in the penthouse, go to footlocker for all shoes, pro am was right next to the park too. Sometimes I’d load into a park and see one of my friends in a game and I could just pull up and play them. Everything now is too complicated and money oriented. The reason we have to go to 10 separate stores is so 2k can advertise the brands. The only way to put shots up is by going to the Gatorade facility. They’ve made it so you have to workout in a GAME for WEEKS just to get new body types????? The only way to get lethal hot zones is the art of shooting facility. You’re forced to play ‘key’ games in mycareer.
At this point I just load up, do my daily spin and go to the rec. There’s zero incentive to do anything else around the city
Right I even stop warming up and warm up In game because shot timing is different in every single game mode like wtf 😂
@@Hype2k23 it’s gotta be a social experiment bro there’s no way a company with so much money and resources can butcher a game like this 😂
I don’t think they’ll ever get rid of the city they getting too much money from all the ads they got put up
Bro u exactly like me u can even see my channel my first2k was 19 my favourite sport is football or soccer whatever u guys call it but I started watching nba abit more n then I bought 2k and fell in love with the game from 19 to 20 most fun I ever had on games. Then I got to 21 I got bored of it after 3 months and never played since 22 was similar 23 similar 24 I completely stopped playing I just want to feel like how I did on 20
@@ebm2000 I’m one of few people that actually like career mode but since I made a center even career is bad. As soon as I catch the ball in the post it’s a double team, then I pass to the wide open AI who greens every shot. It’s so incredibly boring. Then when I sim games my player is averaging 50 points, 25 rebounds, 20 assists. It’s not even a challenge to win mvp or dpoy.
Ive felt it way more the last few weeks while I wait for my WiFi to be fixed. In other games I can still play online with average WiFi with a few hitches here and there with 2k servers the game just freezes for 5 seconds at a time which means I absolutely cannot play online. I’m stuck with playing career for now where I could get a triple double with my eyes closed.
At the very least they could make career games fun but when I’m getting double teamed from the first quarter it means I’m just watching my AI teammates break the 3pt record every other game
I play cod too and I’m fine 90% of the time using my shitty WiFi but with 2k I’m getting kicked every other game or lagging to the point I need to quit for my team to have a chance, then I get a ban warning. When I had my fibre optic it was perfectly fine playing online but I shouldn’t need the absolute highest tier of internet connection to have an enjoyable gaming experience
This is the most insightful critique I've ever seen on NBA2K.
Thanks Bro 🎒 tryna bring out some insights that are being overlooked
lol nah the park in 24 looks like some futurama type ish 😂 like wth is going on u spot on with the disconnect part hooping near a active volcano is crazy inhaling ash is crazy they don’t even change them 😆
Park is the reason why the game is bad 😂😂 y’all dont never wanna grind mycareer no more! totally abandon the storylines & grind cause you can earn badge processing in rec & park
Facts and you need a comp team you can't go in rec solo and have fun cause everyone wanna be the main guy
@@lijahxgibby6875 thats a problem too Im sick of the matchmaking rec games , forcing me to play with trash ass randoms or a cpu with 0 defense
The story line ass the last good story was 17
Not really why no body wants to play my career no more because they have sucked the life out of it
@@moreplugs facts got me playing mynba like im Chris Smoove 😂😂
i died when you pulled up dusty divot 🤣🤣🤣
The picture of the park you showed at 1:31, is the local park I played at as a kid in bayside queens. It’s such a low key hidden spot, never thought I’d see it on RUclips 20 years later. Thank you for the nostalgia 🙏
That’s nuts
park enviorment is garbage in 24 and playing on the same court the whole year in rec is crazy like how is there not 2-3 different rec courts
Good video bro. Well thought out and very interesting take. I do miss the old Parks. Haven't played a single game of Park this year. Subbed! 💯
Thanks Bro, Appreciate You For The Sub 🎒💯 more content to come like this
It's the microtransactions. It is over the top. The pay-to-win mechanic. Its offensive over Defense and the cheese. Its how to get more money out of the players instead of improving the game. Its overdone. It does need to be more grounded too as you were saying.
I hate working so hard for badges ,in2k22 ,you can play mycareer and get a badge for just playing 2 games, like 2k20 you could be a 65 overall with hof shooting badges ,then 2k23 made you work so hard for badges and spend so much money on your debit card just to hit 82 overall and barely any badges and 2k24 even want you to work just so you can get a daily spin when in 2k22 you can be lvl 1 60 overall and spin the wheel everyday without working for it
You were on point with this 1. That Cod comparison was true.They were tryna be like titanfall at the time. In 2k's case, they're tryna be like fortnite with all the bullshit emotes, skins, seasons etc. 2k is losing it's realistic unique charm that we fell in love with.
Yeah that battle pass shit fucked up the game as well. The rewards just so shitty
I fuck with your criticism, I was heavy on 2K from 2K12 all the way to 2k20
Some of my fondest memories where grinding out in the park in 18, 19 and 20 with my people, it was vibrant, gritty, and competitive.
The criticism of the city is valid, it takes way too much effort to play the game anymore. For your normal average player it’s never going to stick. I think the idea was ok when we went to next gen, gotta get something new, but honestly people didn’t want that. I wanted to grind out with my people on the park, or rec, and then get rewarded for playing.
The biggest problem 2K came across for me was micro transactions, and it’s a problem that basically every game is plagued with. They make too much money. From it
I stopped playing after 2K20 cause after I hit SS3 the rewards didn’t work and the 2K devs didn’t care, In 2k20 at SS2 you where supposed to get double VC and it never worked the whole year.
They tried to offer me like 3000 VC and I was like alright man. Really killed the deal.
Cook
Cooking up more for sure 💯📷
NGL, those previous years of 2k still look good!
You have a point but understand this modern gaming is dead they can’t do nothing to make the game playable ever again the game will only gonna get worst gaming isn’t fun anymore anyways because of microtransactions and in game purchases it’s sad how gaming is even getting boring
I think a problem is realism I know a lot of people don’t like it but being able to do crazy shots is fun when it’s you and i think that’s missing from the game now and being incredibly fast on the dribble dunking on anybody this what we liked. Also another major problem is the environment we come to hoop I don’t want to run around for hours to get on the game and also I want to feel like I’m hopping in from Europe we don’t play basketball as much as Us so when I virtually get the chance to feel like an nyc baller it’s cool
It’s the same game different year 🤷🏾♂️ they change the cover to make you buy the same 💩! It’s just boring . The game is for old mfs in they 40s and young kids .
True ,2k21 was the last good 2k
They need to put the servers back up for 2k15,16,17,20 and it will bring more people to play
Been the same gameplay more or less for 4 years straight. 2k leaque makes it so they cant drastically change anything. Games stale
That’s not true at all 2k22 and 2k23 and 24 is completely different gameplay idk what u talking about
Not saying your wrong but there are things(In my Opinion) that you left out. All the 2K's you mentioned from past to present, had some sort of cheese, micro transactions are thru the roof, players cheating/hacking and gameplay was in fact a major issue regardless of what game mode you play a lot or prefer to play. At this point, I believe 2K is targeting a different audience. People that truly know what basketball consists of, are the very same people that find 2K dead. Like the lava court for example, that's something a kid would most likely find "cool" vs someone like me or as you simply stated, "realism".
2K needs to scrap everything and start over. Make a new game every other year. That should give enough time to make a fully, well made developed game. Get rid of the cheese, get rid of or atleast lower the prices of micro transactions, fix all of random bugs, install anti cheat system(Or whatever it's called).
I personally think that we should get rid of the city and go back to park. I feel like the latency has been so bad because of how big the map is. Parks look aesthetically better too. I also personally loved 2k16, 2k17 and 2k19 gameplay. 2k22 being a honorable mention. I love the arcade feel from those 2ks I hate the super realistic gameplay. If I’m gonna play realistic ima go and drive to the local irl park lol. I hop on the game to have fun and be competitive. Arcade gameplay will forever be my favorite. I buy 2k every year starting from 2k16 when I was 15 years old. I’m sad to say I barely played 23 and barely played 24. The game is just so boring and it feels like I have to grind harder and longer for badges boost vc and overalls. Game needs a hard reset.
Answer it’s too stiff you try to go to the rim you get pull into a defender dribbling to complex and bad and it’s too fornite inspired
Dam I miss 2k15 after watching this 💔
Good criticism. archeotypes forcing people to play to a certain strength is what ruined this game. Literally from 2k17 - 2k22 if you created your maxed out my player in “create a player” option the true overall was like 84 but in mycareer it would tell you 99 OVR. 2k14-16 rewarded skill because everything was in the game, meaning is you had the skill you could do anything. 17’ I realized very quickly that my IQ didn’t matter and it was more about my build and it’s limitations, which is why later 2ks struggled with unbalanced game breaking mettas like lockdowns and stretch bigs. *edit* 15 and 16 had the smoothest gameplay out of any 2k I’ve played. besides the weird try hards spamming the logic to the game.
U right bro , plus these Popular YTubers messed up the online 2k experience up. Smh
2k10/2k11 are Thea best 2k EVER!
Back in the day when you could play blacktop online and use different celebrities 💯
And I wouldn’t blame the popular YTubers because certain stuff that they do are a response to how 2K has things shaped
- making meta build videos -> helps us because a casual player has to spend $50 or more on a build just to find out something like spd w ball or a certain rating isn’t viable
- Or playing the meta -> has happened because certain elements in basketball like floaters weren’t as efficient in the older games (18-23)
I don’t know if it’s the same for yall but my 2k feel so delayed
It’s to much bs goin on in every game. I’m not sayin I’m the best player. I make mistakes. That’s ok. However, the ball goes through my body/hand to often. The weird animations you’re forced into is terrible. Standing in front of someone doesn’t matter. They drop the ball pick it right back up. Post scorers can’t be contested. But it’s not consistent the other way around. Some ppl just get away with ridiculous gameplay the entire time. Which makes the game not fun. Imagine playing smarter than your opponent but they get away with constant ridiculousness
Your 100 percent right brudda
The move list in 15 and 16 had so many options too and gameplay just played more fluid but lets not act like 24 isnt unrealistic as well guards still spam the same dribble moves to the point the gane boring whether you can stop it or not
They dead ass need to just go back to this dawg 😂😂
Forreal 😭
Heavy disagree on the 2K15 gameplay. ITS A VIDEO GAME. It’s meant to be fast paced and based on stick skill and getting open. 2k15 wasn’t letting people hit contested shots throughout the whole year, that was at the end of the 2k15 with patch 4 and demigods.
A big reason is it's not pick up and play.
Park on 2k14 was the most fun for me and the real ones remember my player blacktop on ps3 and 360
Blacktop and crew mode in 11
What a time to be alive fr 🤧
Nice video bro!
I think that the best part was that in 2k14-15-16-the gameplay was unrealistic and the environment was realistic. That’s what made it fun
I mean, when your opponent makes a wild shot you will blame 2k you will be like 2kaaayyy
(Not balming yourself or your friend for not playing great defence )
I mean hell we wanted to play even if the 3ed guy was a random WE JUST WANTED TO PLAY AND HAVE FUN!!
And if you make a wildshot, you’ll laugh with your friends And be like damn😂😂
When your lose to a 100% contested shot, you’ll get mad
A room for error ..and everyone can play
All builds could do everything and they are all the same
Pie charts and limited my player builder Ruined everything
Adding something
Contact dunks were overpowered
BUT every build or player can abuse it
And it was hella fun
Sometimes when you get dunked on you want the ball just to get back at them and it wasss eaaaassssyyy
I don’t know why but we used to get hyped when these things happen
Adding trash talking and all😂😂😂
Nowadays no hype on dunks , selfish fastbreaks (barely you see a lob) everything is serious no room for mistakes we only want to score the (safest) way (quick drops , straight Tomahawks no flashy dunks )and get W’s
That’s saaaad
“Unrealistic” I mean it is a video game
I don’t wanna buy a new nba 2k game every year
This was very well done & logical. Great point about if Cod just randomly added the Ray Gun to multiplayer, everybody would freak out, yet in 2K we have to deal with tons of unrealistic things
Microtramsacrions brother. Microtransactions.
They just need to open up the old servers
you cookin bro keep it up
Appreciate That Bro 💯 got more on the way
This deserves 1M Plus Views‼️
Appreciate That Bro 🎒💯 Hopefully the algorithm pushes it that much 😭
@@Nayeem4K I pray it do 🙏🏽
I think a game needs op moves and things like that. Being too realistic is boring and not fun and should be for stage or ranked play. When 2k leans to a more arcade gameplay is way more fun
somebody need to show this to the 2k developers man we need to give 2k25 some hope
I agree to a point but what made 2k15-17 the prime of 2k was the community, nice parks, and smooth feeling gameplay but the main part is the COMMUNITY not the way it looks but the city is garbage in my opinion they need to remove the city
The real issue aswell is the vc prices and no rep system
This my first year playing park since 20 and I’m deadass lmao I’ve been Rec and proc am for years and yeah the city ruined 2k ngl
The most spot on shit I ever heard about 2K. Good shit
Good Looks for tuning in brodie 💯📷
Rivet city gives me Cleveland , Detroit type of vibe
The problem with 2k is that they literally give u guys the same product every year...
Add the park having sun glares or shadows for no reason. This video was spot onnnn
They should add real world parks and have the parks turn into take over like vibes. Huge crowds surrounding the park, talking trash, picking sides. For example if your team keeps winning on a specific court the crowd can start migrating over to your court, away from another, and rooting for your team. And every challenging team that comes on will have to shut up the crowd and win. Just to add intensity to the atmosphere. The crowds will be made up of NPCs and other players waiting to get on the court to play. Lets say in a park of like 8-10 courts, on one court a team is on a 7-8 game winning streak in 3v3s or something, the crowd of NPCs will be growing steadily, getting more rowdy. By win 10 any challenging team that can knock them off while also doing highlight worthy plays throughout the game, can trigger the crowd changing sides and storming the court in favor for the challengers. However if the streaking teams wins, the crowd will storm the court and taunt the losing team to their faces, (other myplayers can join in the storming the court and will have the ability to taunt losing teams for like 15 seconds before the next game is set up). During games where the crowd is pretty big, like say 30-40 bystanders, players on the court can taunt the trash talkers in the crowd after a good play, like a step back 3 or a blocked dunk especially if the crowd is rooting against you. And if you're on the streaking team the crowd is rooting for, you can goad the crowd to get louder when its like game point or you're about to iso a defender. Like waving your arms at the crowd, putting your hand to your ear. If there are multiple teams on winning streaks the NPCs will split up and go to each of those courts. VC, teammate grade and other rewards will be the same (just hopefully cheaper and without the skill regression). Nba live 19 already has that vibe kinda with the cuts after baskets to phone cameras from the crowd for replays. But with 2k i know they can get deals with RUclipsrs like ballislife, the next chapter and capture the energy from their park runs. Minus the cursing of course.
2K15, 2K16, 2K17....💪🏾😤
My best years 🤞🏾
sometimes i play nba2k15
I feel what you saying G, trust me I do….. but If you want realistic go outside. You make valid points Fs, but the purpose of playing a game is for it to be fun and enjoyable. That’s what the rec is for (realism), and it is safe to say Steph curry and plenty other good shooters, shoot in people face. Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards dunks on anything under the rim. As far as the parks go you are 1000% right 2015, 16, 17, was dope parks. And other words find your nitch realism equals rec, arcade Equals Park…. Keep up the good work.👍🏾
WHAT ABOUT THE NBA???? the game is called NBA right???...............i swear i hope 2k does suck to all you yutube park 2k
This guy was spot on and I never realized it the environment is off. We need real parks and the green or miss system turned off that’s the only thing unrealistic besides the park
I got my one an only character to 98 and quit. Battle passes killed it for me. The shooting in the beginning and the changes that followed. So I gir better but around season 3 I was exhausted. Buying shoes and weird gear also is unrealistic
We gonna see a lot of negative videos towards 2k since nba live is trying to make a come back. The nba live team is paying good money for persuasive videos right now. 2k is king though
24 is the most unrealistic of all time guards can shoot full court consistently with heat check
i like this and i agree with all the points made !
Cap bro the game weak asf point blank period all that environmental bs and all that ain’t got nun to do with it plus the community that made it all left
The park is a casual mode ,I don’t mind slightly unrealistic stuff in park gameplay wise ,thats what made those myplayer modes better imo .fun gameplay thats realistic is better than unrealistic world with realistic gameplay
I miss 2k14 😭
It used to be like “real life” but now it’s pretentious and attention seeking.
Whats crazy is they brung back the old town court layout in 21 for next gen just to get out of rookieville 😂
I didn’t even realize the layouts were similar 😭
The issues that plague the park is what the COMMUNITY ASKED FOR
YALL let AGENT DUKE AND OTHERS SPEAK and they don’t even play it 😂
The community ruined what 2k simulation experience turned to let us have fun with builds and everyone can be WEMBY or spam the same curry builds it’s not fun to me lay against no
More no one is different
When 2k24 came out there were 91s in the first two days I turned that shit off
Problem is that people still buy the game and dump money into microtransactions. Despite the people saying "2K sucks, etc etc)", the fact is that 2k23 grossed around $15 million more than 2k22. Gamers don't seem to grasp that no game company gives a shit what they say...only how they spend. So people can complain as much as they want, 2K will keep doing what it's doing because, for all the whining, players keep forking over cash.
I also wonder how much of a role the NBA plays in this. The NBA controls their trademark and charges 2K for its use. In return, I'm sure the NBA demands a certain level of return from 2K, which could also be driving them. I can guarantee that the target revenue never goes down, only up and if that's the case then 2K is in a way being forced to become greedy just to pay for the logo and trademarks that it relies on.
2k is a game for children. That’s why it sucks. We need a game LeBron & MJ would spend hours playing. A game that is so much like basketball, NBA players would rather play it than go to their practices.
A Basketball game at the level of Hellblade combat. Or dark souls combat.
2k moving backwards everything I wanted when I was younger they’re doing it now. For Ex: The Goat points , passing up legends in MC, having cars in the park etc 😂. having extra quests in the park lol. Now it’s not worth it bc of Rec, Park etc 😂🤣
I remember I had 2K16 and they changed up the park a bit. One of em had a HUGE aquarium in the background and I just knew they’d get even more over the top. I stopped playing 2K after 2K16 and sad to say to myself I was right. Smh.
2k has tried to get away from the “park” “street ball” type of game since like 2k18. Idk if it’s to please advertisers or what but I don’t think they’re going back. Games don’t usually go back to a “street” feel after they get big. GTA, NFL, Street, 2K
I never played 2k15. It man I wish I could play I. Those realistic parks. You’re absolutely right. 2k is trash now.
You talking about MyPlayer tho… I’m a PURE EXHIBITIONIST. My team v Yours. When Play Now online DIED, so did the game.
Nba 2K aint hit the same since 2k17 lmfaoo. Shits just different now and every since they dropped the whole “Sunset, River Park and Old flyers”, shit it was just ass. Park became a joke and that was like a super unique feature that actually made people play. Imo that shit just turned garbage when they removed that. And at the end of the day, every game is just the same. So boring and stale
If Dey made matchmaking (rec cause dats what I play) to where you only play wit people 1-3 levels higher or lower den your overall gameplay would be better, I should be getting on da game juss making a build at 85 and playing wit 60s , being 90 overall playing wit 70s or 99 overall playing wit 85s
My sentiment exactly. Give us gyms like the art of shooting gym or Chris Brickley for Rec/Park. Been playing since Deamcast and this shit is exactly that 💩💩💩because of the futuristic crap. 2k started tailoring the franchise to goofies. Just make a goofy game solely for them and leave realism to real basketball fans/enthusiast.
Trash rewards, Expensive builds and you have to pay some money because for free to play it’s unreasonable for myplayer “time”. Lastly shoes cool, but all clothing just being reused every 2k is a joke. I love skill gap but with different shot timings for everything plus ghost speed ups and slow down you literally can’t help but feel like despite how good you’re shooting you will miss shots you probably shouldn’t have.
Doesn't hit the same anymore because they put badges in and then they don't mean shit. HOF OPEN LOOKS w a 94 3 and missing wide open slightlys. HOF corner specialist and missing wide open corner with slightly due to minor game lag. Or no lag at all. Defensive badges are the only thing that matters in this game. But then a 6'9 w a 73 3 point rating hitting contested first shots lol
Do A video comparing GTA and 2k . Those 2 games were fun back then. Now like you said it's Either unrealistic or we just got Older🤣
2k today is straight S bc it's all about park park park and not about basketball simulation. The basketball representation is so bad... player movement is atrocious just for the sake of selling vc, transition basketball is direct garbage or non-existent since 2k19 bc 2k doesn't need it for park, it turned out to be a stupid "skills" mini game with a basketball skin on it. Go play 2k14 or ncaa 10 if you want a game of basketball.
Man if 2k don’t figure the Play Now gameplay first the park/rec will never be right… 2k has to stop pump faking the “nba builds” for my career too 🤣
One problem that I have with 2K24 is that they make the NBA in the Mycareer a waste of time. I used the NBA Mycareer all the time but now It just boring trash and you earn more by playing other game modes why don't they just separate them and make Park/My Team its own game like Warzone
Nobody should give a fuck about the environments 😂😂. I want fast speed boosting gameplay with 2k16 defense, higher game speed, and tougher shooting🙂
U lost me when u said the gameplay should be realistic. Park was made to be a casual mode to get away from the traditional nba 5v5 games. Ur supposed to hop on get sum
buckets and have fun. 2k16 parks were unrealistic but it was the best park experience and still praised to this day. Them tryin to push “realism” is wat killed the game.
Park is completely dead. The layout is HORRIBLE. Theater and Rec are the only viable options nowadays. PS4 2k22 version was my shit man many 2s courte near eachother not spaced out too much. They should copy that or 2k17
The park will never be realistic until they make it harder to score than in 5v5 modes. It’s harder to score in street ball in real life than in actual games with referees. It’s way more physical, there could be no fouls being called, you got someone trying to embarrass you, a fight is always something that could happen, and real life people have nothing to lose lol.
I’ve never felt like the park was a challenging mode, it’s just mycareer with full sliders and fake stuff.
Imagine this: all the top players refuse to buy VC and instead agree to regulate the competitive modes so everyone grinds and plays without spending a dime. All of a sudden, 2K isn't selling VC and then they will actually start paying attention to the complaints. The only way to touch any game company is it's bottom line and 2K, for all the complaints, keeps making more money each year.
They can sacrifice background graphics for real gameplay you must be a guy who doesn’t win often. You just wanna look at the NPC. 😅
Nobody wants to address the real problem. Nba 2k is 2 different games. Online and the rest of us. You online players ruined the game. You guys moan and complain but still throw them millions and millions of dollars every year. Of course the game won't improve. Blame yourselves.
I think it's cheaper to design the futuristic trash. 2k is probably making their games with as little income as possible and making BANK of of ppl still buying the games. I played from nba2k to 2k20. Fuck 2k
Man 2k literally is ass because of the community especially the ones who was just bad at the game anyway literally from 2k16 to 2K24 every year yall had something to complain and cry about and wanted the developers to take out for example 2k19 ppl cried about stretch 4s shooting over ppl when we see KD do it every other night in real life they also complained about the dribbling back when they had crackhead dribbling the only ppl who complained was ppl who was ass and couldn’t stop it or couldn’t dribble like that themselves they complained until they took dribbling out the game they removed a lot of things from the game ppl complained about now the game is ass it’s the 2k community fault why the game is how it is
They make the game for kids now, that’s the problem. I guess it’s time for us to just realize 2k don’t care for the actual basketball fans anymore
I don’t really care bout environment tbh. It’s a nice thing to have but not my core problem. I feel like everybody just plays ball handler at the top and two corner or a dude hiding behind screens. It was still happening in early 2Ks but that’s all there is now. Jamal Murray behind the back and that’s it. I just play rec with my friends now cause at least you have a chance of variety. Everyone just plays the same in the park 👎🏽
