Shooting is weird, You cant dunk the ball consistently, Your player sometimes feels like their running in mud when you attack the basket.. Offensive rebs are OP this year, Passing is terrible, 50v50 balls still favor the momentum based team (losing team) and the best bang for your dollar is making a build 6'4 and shorter because they get all the badges/animations now everyone is walking around 6'2-6'4 w/ short wingspans weighing 230 lbs.. Everyone built like Desmond Bane, the game is ass..
There’s still a huge skill gap.. once you lab up dribbling and how to rhythm shoot.. not only stand stills but fades, and hop backs there’s a huge green window that will make you shoot 70-75% like us good players did in 24.. and there’s actually IQ involved when playing pg.. y’all boys are just trash
Facts. Offensive rebound not op. They need to fix allowing you to properly box people out ain’t no way I should have someone with weaker str and I have legend box out and they swim around me and snag. The extra bounces around the rim that the ball does when someone shoots makes you miss your Reb jump timing which allows the opponent who is boxed out to jump and sang it behind you over your head because u mistimed your jump because the ball decided to bounce off the rim a few times before going out

@@gator6997 facts. At least last year, you could dominate with an inside big or a slasher, just like in real life. But on 2k25, it's easier to make a contested jumpshot than it is a contested layup, which real hoopers know is just not true when you hoop. This game is broken

I don’t think 2K will ever be good again gameplay wise until they scrap the engine they use and use a completely different engine. This whole “from the ground up” claim they make every year is just building off current assets from previous years.
The most fluid “engine” and gameplay they had was 2K16 or 2K17 imo. Those games felt amazing to play and hit dribble moves on. Looked more realistic animation wise too. They fucked it up after 2K19. I think 18 had the same engine and feel as 16/17 but the game was ass so I can’t remember, barely played it.

Ngl if 2k25 had 2k22 movement without whites going in and rng this game could’ve been one of best 2ks of all time because the rep system and cap breakers are worth grinding for
I have played over 2,200 hours of 2k24. For 2k25, I logged 450 hours, and for BO6, I spent 620 hours. I can't pinpoint why, but I don't enjoy this game as much as I used to in earlier years.
@@Thgeneral5 Naw that ain’t right. PS apparently messed up the hours played tracker. My original point was that I play BO6 more. I know damn well I ain’t played 20+ hours a day 😂
Ngl. This game shooting is the most broken shit ever. I really don't feel like I have control. The rng is killing 2k. Making sure we shoot under 50pct from 3 is criminal
@freddycalipari4242 I shoot 60% percent from 3, and I still agree with his comment. Not everyone is ass at the game. Even shooting 60 from 3 I still miss wide open at times with green animations aka full whites. The shooting and contests is way to inconsistent. A shooter can shoot over a defender with their hands down and it will be a yellow, but with 95 perrim I play hands up defense and it's an open 75% of the time.
2k24 showed me reality. No way I was being a sucker for 25. Will play it when it's free. And they can get a 50 ball from me for a big man. That's it. I'm over 2k and the community. Time to move on. Wish NBA live could hold the torch for a few years. Cause...2k been done since 20...
I remember waking up early before work, eager to find a 2K REC or PRO-AM game. On weekends, I’d completely immerse myself in 2K, playing nonstop without ever getting bored. Those were the glory days. NBA 2K16, you’ll always be missed.
Worst by far for myplayer. Biggest cash grab all time. Then the gameplay is terrible. If you don't see that this 2k is best cash grab idk what to tell you
SEASONS - W Cap Breakers - Huge W Rebirth- Finally how it should be Skill Gap- You can finally tell who is really trash Def- body ups and able to stay somewhat in front of people feels a lot better This farm is as close as it ever has been
@@serotoninlight7269 2k16, 2k17 (as it was basically a 16 clone) clears. It’s probbaly top 3 tho but hell if you played 2k22 old gen (ps4) that is up there as well
Every year, people complain. I feel like it's always the casuals. 2 K is my jam, and I enjoy playing it. Some people like COD, some people like Madden, and some people just like playing 2 K. The problem I have is adjusting the game after I get my main build to 99 and I'm settled in for the long haul. That shit is trash.
Nah. The complaints are way more specific this year than last. Worst ever? Not probably not. But most RNG, most buggy, most patched, most skill capped. Yes, yes, yes.
Its cus they want a better game than this year u can’t blame them u keep hoping 2k will get it right. Its the devs that offer you shit sandwiches and tell u its steak and tell u to “enjoy the new game”
They’re going to do it because to most people it can’t get any worse then this year. So by default 2k26 has no choice but to be better than this. If it isn’t then the 2k community will be in serious trouble
Saved my money this year. I simply got tired of the same old same from 2k. Every year it’s the same. People complain and then STILL buy the game because there is no competition. I chose to speak with my wallet. That’s the only way real change will come. When stock holders ask why their shares are down and who’s responsible for.
Lmao people just complain cause they’re not getting their way majority of the time. So are we really listening to what people have to say about the game. People complaining about “Whites” don’t even know that majority of players have turnt all those green animations and celebrations off.
@@IMTROLLINGYOU99beyond true 24 is a way better game u just sucked cuz had pure green windows n now 2k let bums have a chance n get carried by rng in the game its hilarious how this game takes no skill if they 2k wants u score u will 😂😂😂 balls through the body when the team is loosing n momentum swings cuz 2k said that's enough your killing them lmaooo this game is beyond dog ish no contest system you have to jump contest moronic whites go in for bums more then they green terrible garbage game thats a fact only good thing was create a player this year rest game trash not one good thing
Y’all need to stop 2k is no where near the worst one this game is actually pretty smooth and enjoyable. Stop tryna build the meta and just enjoy the game.
@@brutalsimnah I understand I’m just being sarcastic and fucking with you because yes the community does and says this BS every single year and you did kind of address that in the video my G
I get that is how you eat brute, but you gotta admit $70+ for a roster update/patch/dlc since 2020 is the reason why folks keep complaining. The company has lost the motivation & innovation to bring us a new product because of videos like these..where y’all are co-signing this behavior to keep making them money.
Idk why people hate this game so much. I’m having a lot of fun playing it. And i play a maybe a couple Hours every other day. Yall just need to chill and not take the game so serious. Try smoking before you play
I've been having fun with it. I think people are just crying because they can't cheese the game to death anymore. It's always the same thing every year. If things aren't going the way they want, it's "this game is trash, worst 2k ever." it has issues, but 24 was far worse, 23 was a literal trash can. 22 was ehh 21 trash 20 solid 19 decent 18 trash 17 great 16 great
I’m not really having fun like I was last year. The problem is that they’ve over complicated the basic functions of the game. I gotta be lazer-focused, eyes glued to the screen to hit a jumpshot and even then because of the algorithm, it’s only 70%~ make at best. The dunk meter is strange to interpret (I still don’t know what I’m looking at🤣).
@@rickjames3249 Wait and see. The same thing happens EVERY YEAR with 2k. Micro transactions will get worse and they're trying to appeal to the younger audience with things like gravity ball. And so many game modes going the real/true player percentage just more trying to narrow the skill gap. With the state of the game the way it is Gravity Ball should have never been released.....
Besides every cheese ball playing the exact same with 5’9 players, corner lockdown sitters and centers with 99 rebound, I like the game. It’s def not the worse 2k ever. In my opinion it’s better than last 2k, with everyone just shooting middy fades like prime Kobe/Derozan.
This is not the worst 2K ever not even close. The r&g is really annoying not going to lie. Whites going in annoying real player percentage layups annoying, But still a very playable 2K and I'm really starting to get the hang of this left left stick dribbling. Mike was right once you start to understand how the dribbling works this year it's a game changer. It's so easy to speed boost and do launches.
I don’t play MyCareer as much as I used to. Gameplay is better in PlayNow Online and MyNBA. Not spending money on a build that becomes unusable in a couple seasons
What annoys me about when people say they hate the game they’re the same ones that did all of the complaining to get the game where it is now and they do it every year. If you don’t like the game, then don’t play it, but this thing is is that people do like the game but they only like the game when they’re winning. I see it all the time when they’re winning. The game feels smooth. It feels good. I like that, when they’re losing oh my God this game sucks and the scariest is when it doesn’t matter if they’re winning or they’re losing it’s just oh my God this game is bad then stop playing the game and let the people that are enjoying the game. Enjoy the game take a year off come back later that makes more sense than every year complaining to get an old game back.
Every game has problems when it is released & having a community that can never agree on anything doesn’t not help the progression of the game. I can guarantee that the amount of time(years) it has taken to make GTA6, when it drop, it is going to be filled with problems.
Honestly bro you youtubers and streamers and are part of the problem yall spend hundreds of dollars on VC every year on builds why 2k should care about gameplay now us casual gamers are suffering when we play this. Yes gameplay sucks but what about overpriced ugly clothing 10,000 vc for a shitr
Off ball offense is so OP that’s what every comp team runs off ball offense hard to stop without the right mindset and pieces have to find out the key spots on the floor your opponent likes to get and they will go thru a 4th quarter crisis when your team is catching on defensively but it’s cool I just love basketball in general
It’s trendy to hate on NBA 2K25, I’m enjoying it. I upgraded my build no money 💵 spent and my build is an original creation. I feel unstoppable just like I do every year.
You hit the nail on the head when talking about finding positive things to keep you playing and that’s who u play with. I’m forty and been playing 2k before they rebranding to 2k. I’m officially a casual guy now because of work family and just overall life so I don’t take the game serious no more but I do focus on playing with good friends that are like minded and just make it fun to play with joking and playing. The problem is that everybody takes a game to seriously and always got a million complaints when it’s billions of ppl playing the game thinking that developers can fit everything in.
I'ma be honest gaming in general just not the same anymore. I haven't played COD in years since the first MW2 and I'm enjoying BO6 playing zombies. Sport games wise the industry just suck they either make the game ass then try to fix stuff which makes everything else worse, it like at this point stop making a yearly game and make it every other year cause 2k and Madden it's getting worse as far as gameplay wise.
2k25 just needs to speed up and fix the worst latency 2k has ever had idk if the pro play makes the game feel clunky , The Game just doesn't feel smooth and fluid . I. have. been playing 2k since the very first one on dreamcast with the hard ass free-throws lol . I do think 2k24 was better than this one at the moment but if they fix the clunky animations the game is fine
I definitely feel like I wasted my money on 25, but I play because I bought it. I do still enjoy running with my friends and family in Rec, and Proving grounds. I can't perform as consistent as I did in 24 wich stops me from wanting to run with Randoms. I never cried about missing a shot last year, but now I'm tripping off that cause I went from 60-64% from 3 for 5 seasons in a row to to 42-43% from 3 for 2 seasons. The game is like a beta and Randoms just make it worse. I can't grind alone without hitting starting 5 as a go to.
Love the game. Actually grinding on this one. Normally I'm already done with 2k and on to something else. Good game as long as they don't make any more crazy updates
This so called 2k community is the reason This 2k became one of the worse Day 1 this game was incredible you complain they start to fix & patch than the game become unplayable I been playing 2k since 2k2 👀
It’s the random bad animations that trigger like glitches that’s destroying 2k25. They literally defy the physics of the game. Beating your man to the rim and having a random chance of scoring is not fun. It’s bad when everyone on the court agrees that what just happened makes no sense. It’s even worse when your defender takes credit for something that neither one of us had control over. When I hit S3 I couldn’t wait to create new builds and utilize the best attributes that fit my playstyle. I tried and It’s impossible because of the randomness. I personally believe this is the worse 2k by far.
2K25 is worst than 2K18 by far & why I saying it might be the worst is because 2k is trying to cap your capabilities at begin good at the game ex. moving the green window on shooting nerfing the meter dunks I can keep going it’s just bad
2k25 is bad.. some rec and proving grounds (5v5) randos make it worse than it actually is. Som3 players only want to play on one side of the court and it aint defense 😂. It has to be an unspoken rule among smaller guards to not even attempt to play defense on each other and only worry about getting on the break and scoring. Pgs out here with 70 passing because they dont want to pass. Lets not talk about the drastically undersized bigs who cant rebounds😢. (They really out here with an 80 def and off rebound😂).
People like 2k20 so much because of covid and there was nothing better to do than play with the boys. If it wasn’t for covid 2k20 would definitely not get as much love as it did
You read my tweet in the video lol pretty cool. Truth is, we are all getting older and grumpier. Remember when pushing was in 2k19 for like 7 whole months? You could literally rock bottom people without raising an eyebrow! I could shoot with a lock that had set shot 25 and a 35 3 pointer. The only 2k that I immediately put down was 2k21 next gen because one build was a Demi god so we all had to make the 6’7 or you’d be at a massive disadvantage.
Reverting the paint defense changed the game for the worst. A person standing in the paint shouldn't cause me miss a layup/close shot. Much better when if they didnt contest IN TIME then you'd make it
the thing that kills 2k for me every year is knowing that reaching the highest rank (Legend or whatever it is each year) is basically impossible if you have even half a life. Shit is demoralizing and makes me lose interest by the game’s 3rd season.
Man im doing a vid later today… ABOUT how we acting like some girls man when it comes to this game…. first off i have made Seven Builds… all over 95 overall …. no money spent….. just using all the exploits and add ed methods 2k put in the games with fiba and getting VC from playing current endorsement deals…. I say that to say this… this game is fun….fire, and NOT extreme. as these dumb content creators paint narrative… 2k did everything possible to help your experience on this game….. some people just trash and dont know how to play the game or put there builds in the best position to be great…. yo the cap breakers,1 max basge upgrades….and badge level ups… really help your build…… and gaming experience… i went from trash at shooting and speed boasting to goated now…..the dribbling is fine… the defense is fine… i locked shhh up with my lock down and my builds with no Defense…. its just how you play…..they made the game accessible to be good at any game style you have!…. honestly yall some weirdos on the internet.. complaining to much!…. you dont have to spend money….. i spent nothing and have 7 builds 95 plz because of 2k added methods to get money….. yall just lazy and act like babies…. THIS IS A VERY GOOD GAME… and im a guy who play with randoms.. and for the first two months said i hate this game until i realized its me… not the game!
Ik we do say this every year but I actually think 25 is the worst fr. Dunking is literally non existent (Plays a big role in the 2k scene) and you can’t even time your jump shots consistently. We can’t even see our green windows which is insane😂😂 Edit: Honestly we need 2k19 archetypes back😪
Every 2K has its problems(as most games do)and typically they could be fixed but if we’re talking about fixing 2k25 from a myplayer game mode perspective(rec/park)the games cooked. Most 2ks the problems can be fixed with a few slider changes the foundation of this game(the myplayer builder)is completely broken. They tried to fix the tall guard meta an literally broke the builder. What’s the point of making a character above 6’4 if all characters 6’4 or under can have multiple 85+ stats. Even if they wanted to nerf certain stats they couldn’t because so many people have builds with 99 stats.
Is it not possible for previous games to be bad, and this one be the worst? Smh. Even prisoners prefer a regular cell over solitary. We are in 2k solitary right now. It’s so bad
The game had potential, and the pro moves are fire, but the new logic ruins it. For example, "High Flying Denier" is just chasedowns, so now contests from behind are back. Shooting is okay-I hit 65% from 3PT on High Risk but used to get 70-80% in previous 2Ks. That’s on me since I had to change my favorite jumper. "Paint Patroller," though, is broken. It’s a badge made to stop dunks, so with this logic, if anyone has the badge, no dunks happen in the paint-period. In Solo Rec, if your team’s big can’t shoot, it’s game over. The other big just camps in the paint and spams triangle, shutting everything down. The invisible dunk meter adds to the mess-you can’t tell what’s a good take. Plus, you can’t move how you want without 92+ ball handling and HOF/Legend Lightning Launchh. They just overcomplicated everything.
I won't compared it to other 2ks because every one has its own flaws, i will say though that is year feels random in every aspect. Rewards are great but the gameplay just feels random, the worst part about it is even when you have 99 attributes there is still random animations that don't make sense. I just want consistency, and this year there just isn't any.
The thing about the old games is they still had so much fun attached to the games yea it had bad parts but damnit the fun was unlimited regardless of the bugs the old games had the community at its peak and had the best fun!!! 25 is just so inconstant you cant dunk youre forced to miss 3s mike wang said it himself when has 2k started making us purposely miss shots?
The biggest complaints are coming from the guys making builds to exploit the game. Making post builds cuz post moves were broken. Then high steals cuz passing lanes were broken. They make a new build every time there’s a patch. Spend the money on it to cheese the game then mad when the game fixes that. If everybody had their own build instead of building to the game then it would be a lot consistent gameplay.
Shooting is weird, You cant dunk the ball consistently, Your player sometimes feels like their running in mud when you attack the basket.. Offensive rebs are OP this year, Passing is terrible, 50v50 balls still favor the momentum based team (losing team) and the best bang for your dollar is making a build 6'4 and shorter because they get all the badges/animations now everyone is walking around 6'2-6'4 w/ short wingspans weighing 230 lbs.. Everyone built like Desmond Bane, the game is ass..
Accurate
🎯 this is the most scripted 2k of all this game has nothing to do with basketball or skill not to mention playing with Randoms is HORRIBLE
There’s still a huge skill gap.. once you lab up dribbling and how to rhythm shoot.. not only stand stills but fades, and hop backs there’s a huge green window that will make you shoot 70-75% like us good players did in 24.. and there’s actually IQ involved when playing pg.. y’all boys are just trash

I have played over 2,200 hours of 2k24. For 2k25, I logged 450 hours, and for BO6, I spent 620 hours. I can't pinpoint why, but I don't enjoy this game as much as I used to in earlier years.
It's because it feels like you actually aren't in control of the game. It's like it's in demo mode 99% of the time.
25 in real life days ona game that just came out litterly one month ago is crazyyyy lol
@@Thgeneral5 Naw that ain’t right. PS apparently messed up the hours played tracker. My original point was that I play BO6 more. I know damn well I ain’t played 20+ hours a day 😂
@@2KRecwell the game did r come out a month ago anyways so he doesn’t even know how to count!
alot of people complaining today were 12 years old in 2k15
This game ass and I’m 35 lmao
Point?
You do know that means they know better because they've played better right?
Lol I was in high school still, now I’m 26. The game hasn’t changed much
I was 35 then and it's ass worst play I've played since
Ngl. This game shooting is the most broken shit ever. I really don't feel like I have control. The rng is killing 2k. Making sure we shoot under 50pct from 3 is criminal
@@RoyRyMUSIC another rng comment 😂 its not rng its you.
@freddycalipari4242 alright.
@@RoyRyMUSIC just got to find the right base and release for you then you'll start cashing out
@@RoyRyMUSIC there are plenty of players that shoot above 50%. I’m not one of them but I promise it’s a skill issue
@freddycalipari4242 I shoot 60% percent from 3, and I still agree with his comment. Not everyone is ass at the game. Even shooting 60 from 3 I still miss wide open at times with green animations aka full whites. The shooting and contests is way to inconsistent. A shooter can shoot over a defender with their hands down and it will be a yellow, but with 95 perrim I play hands up defense and it's an open 75% of the time.
I stopped complaining how bad the game is. I just play less and less. Thank the heavens for black ops 6, more worth my time and stress levels lol
Lol I noticed that yesterday. I haven’t played rec in a few weeks and yesterday I hopped on for 2 games and said I’m done
Facts
2k24 showed me reality. No way I was being a sucker for 25. Will play it when it's free. And they can get a 50 ball from me for a big man. That's it. I'm over 2k and the community. Time to move on. Wish NBA live could hold the torch for a few years. Cause...2k been done since 20...
Yep! That’s my plan from now on, gamepass release date is going to be my new start date
@jerichoanderson6055 facts cause you can still catch up cause they be fed up. And it will be new to us lol
I remember waking up early before work, eager to find a 2K REC or PRO-AM game. On weekends, I’d completely immerse myself in 2K, playing nonstop without ever getting bored. Those were the glory days. NBA 2K16, you’ll always be missed.
far from the worst 2k ever, people say this every year
Man it was at the least the first one worth buying on pc
edit: in my opinion
This is the worst it’s on the same level as 18 the rng in this game is crazy
Worst by far for myplayer. Biggest cash grab all time. Then the gameplay is terrible. If you don't see that this 2k is best cash grab idk what to tell you
Stop lying
Only reason why I play is because cap breakers and rep system ether then that gameplay is trash
SEASONS - W
Cap Breakers - Huge W
Rebirth- Finally how it should be
Skill Gap- You can finally tell who is really trash
Def- body ups and able to stay somewhat in front of people feels a lot better
This farm is as close as it ever has been
The worst ever. The ball has to touch every part of the rim before it decides to go in. On a late contested shot
NBA 2k19 was the best 2k hands down wake up every Saturday 9am for that Reese’s 2xp & that trivia was pretty good
💯
Best 2k for you….
@ lmao I’m good at every 2k that 2k was fun all year round n was not glitchy
@@serotoninlight7269 2k16, 2k17 (as it was basically a 16 clone) clears. It’s probbaly top 3 tho but hell if you played 2k22 old gen (ps4) that is up there as well

Agree!!
Agreed!
Yeah this facts def all trash 😂😂 top 2 most trash 2ks lol
@@StrictCurlChampjust because YOU can’t do post moves doesn’t mean they don’t work
Every year, people complain. I feel like it's always the casuals. 2 K is my jam, and I enjoy playing it. Some people like COD, some people like Madden, and some people just like playing 2 K. The problem I have is adjusting the game after I get my main build to 99 and I'm settled in for the long haul. That shit is trash.
Nah. The complaints are way more specific this year than last. Worst ever? Not probably not. But most RNG, most buggy, most patched, most skill capped. Yes, yes, yes.
The community does this every yr, and yet they will be in the preorder line for 26! 😂
Yup and complain next year and say 2k25 was better.
Clown world
Its cus they want a better game than this year u can’t blame them u keep hoping 2k will get it right. Its the devs that offer you shit sandwiches and tell u its steak and tell u to “enjoy the new game”
They’re going to do it because to most people it can’t get any worse then this year. So by default 2k26 has no choice but to be better than this. If it isn’t then the 2k community will be in serious trouble
God forbid we want an actual good 2k again😂😂😂
I stopped playing 2k a month ago I'm not playing that s... No more and I'm not buying the next one either
But your watching 2k content 🤔
@@marquezarmstead2594 that’s different from playing.
Saved my money this year. I simply got tired of the same old same from 2k. Every year it’s the same. People complain and then STILL buy the game because there is no competition.
I chose to speak with my wallet. That’s the only way real change will come. When stock holders ask why their shares are down and who’s responsible for.
When you make the game too realistic, the fun factor leaves
Ehhh
Lmao people just complain cause they’re not getting their way majority of the time. So are we really listening to what people have to say about the game. People complaining about “Whites” don’t even know that majority of players have turnt all those green animations and celebrations off.
People only come back and play 2k every year because there’s no other basketball out there..
2k25 is for sure the worst 2k ever by far,I miss 24
That just not true but it’s your opinion
@@IMTROLLINGYOU99your opinion ain’t a fact either. That’s why it’s called an opinion sir
@@IMTROLLINGYOU99beyond true 24 is a way better game u just sucked cuz had pure green windows n now 2k let bums have a chance n get carried by rng in the game its hilarious how this game takes no skill if they 2k wants u score u will 😂😂😂 balls through the body when the team is loosing n momentum swings cuz 2k said that's enough your killing them lmaooo this game is beyond dog ish no contest system you have to jump contest moronic whites go in for bums more then they green terrible garbage game thats a fact only good thing was create a player this year rest game trash not one good thing
People said the same thing about 24 last year
Y’all need to stop 2k is no where near the worst one this game is actually pretty smooth and enjoyable. Stop tryna build the meta and just enjoy the game.
Wait brute did you just repost the same video three years in a row !😱😂
They do the same thing every year my G, and every year I have to come and tell them they do this every year…
Have they changed anything? After 3 years of doing the same thing it’s time to switch it up
I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE MATRIX LOL TIL I SEEN UR COMMENT
@@brutalsimnah I understand I’m just being sarcastic and fucking with you because yes the community does and says this BS every single year and you did kind of address that in the video my G
I get that is how you eat brute, but you gotta admit $70+ for a roster update/patch/dlc since 2020 is the reason why folks keep complaining. The company has lost the motivation & innovation to bring us a new product because of videos like these..where y’all are co-signing this behavior to keep making them money.
Idk why people hate this game so much. I’m having a lot of fun playing it. And i play a maybe a couple Hours every other day. Yall just need to chill and not take the game so serious. Try smoking before you play
I've been having fun with it. I think people are just crying because they can't cheese the game to death anymore. It's always the same thing every year. If things aren't going the way they want, it's "this game is trash, worst 2k ever." it has issues, but 24 was far worse, 23 was a literal trash can. 22 was ehh 21 trash 20 solid 19 decent 18 trash 17 great 16 great
I’m not really having fun like I was last year. The problem is that they’ve over complicated the basic functions of the game. I gotta be lazer-focused, eyes glued to the screen to hit a jumpshot and even then because of the algorithm, it’s only 70%~ make at best. The dunk meter is strange to interpret (I still don’t know what I’m looking at🤣).
I still enjoy 25. Unpopular Opinion. But 18 definitely was the worst to me. Didn’t play more than twice
I like 25 more than I like 24. I quit 24 early
Straight facts. Next year around this time ppl will be saying 2k26 is trash and will be running back to 2k25 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Fuh no lmao, id go play Roblox before I ever return to 2k25
I don't think anyone would return back to this bs😂😂😂 game to slow and clunky
@@rickjames3249 Wait and see. The same thing happens EVERY YEAR with 2k. Micro transactions will get worse and they're trying to appeal to the younger audience with things like gravity ball. And so many game modes going the real/true player percentage just more trying to narrow the skill gap. With the state of the game the way it is Gravity Ball should have never been released.....
@@StrictCurlChamp Whatever you say
Every time 😂
2k21 is definitely the worst 2k. It was such a drastic difference from 20 that my whole friends list just went back to playing 2k20
2k18 for me
The problem is the 2k community complains all the time smh
I like 2k25. Issues yes. But having a good squad and playing the game the right way helps.
Besides every cheese ball playing the exact same with 5’9 players, corner lockdown sitters and centers with 99 rebound, I like the game. It’s def not the worse 2k ever. In my opinion it’s better than last 2k, with everyone just shooting middy fades like prime Kobe/Derozan.
The community will always go meta
This is not the worst 2K ever not even close. The r&g is really annoying not going to lie. Whites going in annoying real player percentage layups annoying, But still a very playable 2K and I'm really starting to get the hang of this left left stick dribbling. Mike was right once you start to understand how the dribbling works this year it's a game changer. It's so easy to speed boost and do launches.
the game is good. the community makes it look bad.but the game is good
I don’t play MyCareer as much as I used to. Gameplay is better in PlayNow Online and MyNBA. Not spending money on a build that becomes unusable in a couple seasons
What annoys me about when people say they hate the game they’re the same ones that did all of the complaining to get the game where it is now and they do it every year. If you don’t like the game, then don’t play it, but this thing is is that people do like the game but they only like the game when they’re winning. I see it all the time when they’re winning. The game feels smooth. It feels good. I like that, when they’re losing oh my God this game sucks and the scariest is when it doesn’t matter if they’re winning or they’re losing it’s just oh my God this game is bad then stop playing the game and let the people that are enjoying the game. Enjoy the game take a year off come back later that makes more sense than every year complaining to get an old game back.
Every game has problems when it is released & having a community that can never agree on anything doesn’t not help the progression of the game.
I can guarantee that the amount of time(years) it has taken to make GTA6, when it drop, it is going to be filled with problems.
Stop playing for 5 years like I did and you will love the game again like I do
Honestly bro you youtubers and streamers and are part of the problem yall spend hundreds of dollars on VC every year on builds why 2k should care about gameplay now us casual gamers are suffering when we play this. Yes gameplay sucks but what about overpriced ugly clothing 10,000 vc for a shitr
Off ball offense is so OP that’s what every comp team runs off ball offense hard to stop without the right mindset and pieces have to find out the key spots on the floor your opponent likes to get and they will go thru a 4th quarter crisis when your team is catching on defensively but it’s cool I just love basketball in general
It's to many trash players thinking they are good until they run into good players now they mad and the game is trash blah blah blah
I remember that one year, they introduced missing greens 💀
It’s trendy to hate on NBA 2K25, I’m enjoying it. I upgraded my build no money 💵 spent and my build is an original creation. I feel unstoppable just like I do every year.
You hit the nail on the head when talking about finding positive things to keep you playing and that’s who u play with. I’m forty and been playing 2k before they rebranding to 2k. I’m officially a casual guy now because of work family and just overall life so I don’t take the game serious no more but I do focus on playing with good friends that are like minded and just make it fun to play with joking and playing. The problem is that everybody takes a game to seriously and always got a million complaints when it’s billions of ppl playing the game thinking that developers can fit everything in.
No offense the people who say this are 🤡s because they say the same thing EVERY year, yet they keep buying the game every year.
I'ma be honest gaming in general just not the same anymore. I haven't played COD in years since the first MW2 and I'm enjoying BO6 playing zombies. Sport games wise the industry just suck they either make the game ass then try to fix stuff which makes everything else worse, it like at this point stop making a yearly game and make it every other year cause 2k and Madden it's getting worse as far as gameplay wise.
I’m an old head and I remember when ppl complained about copy and paste 2ks Now they complain cause it ain’t the same smh.
Facts
This is a copy and paste lmao
Ngl i just deleted 25 yesterday
Same
2k25 just needs to speed up and fix the worst latency 2k has ever had idk if the pro play makes the game feel clunky , The Game just doesn't feel smooth and fluid . I. have. been playing 2k since the very first one on dreamcast with the hard ass free-throws lol . I do think 2k24 was better than this one at the moment but if they fix the clunky animations the game is fine
I definitely feel like I wasted my money on 25, but I play because I bought it. I do still enjoy running with my friends and family in Rec, and Proving grounds. I can't perform as consistent as I did in 24 wich stops me from wanting to run with Randoms. I never cried about missing a shot last year, but now I'm tripping off that cause I went from 60-64% from 3 for 5 seasons in a row to to 42-43% from 3 for 2 seasons. The game is like a beta and Randoms just make it worse. I can't grind alone without hitting starting 5 as a go to.
Love the game. Actually grinding on this one. Normally I'm already done with 2k and on to something else. Good game as long as they don't make any more crazy updates
I bet yall don’t remember in 2k20 you had to play 35 games in my career before you got jump shot creator
This so called 2k community is the reason This 2k became one of the worse Day 1 this game was incredible you complain they start to fix & patch than the game become unplayable I been playing 2k since 2k2 👀
Wash, rinse, repeat. In 3 years, people will be saying 2K25 was the best ever
I promise you they will not
No tf they not.
Never in my life would I ever.
It’s the random bad animations that trigger like glitches that’s destroying 2k25. They literally defy the physics of the game. Beating your man to the rim and having a random chance of scoring is not fun. It’s bad when everyone on the court agrees that what just happened makes no sense. It’s even worse when your defender takes credit for something that neither one of us had control over. When I hit S3 I couldn’t wait to create new builds and utilize the best attributes that fit my playstyle. I tried and It’s impossible because of the randomness. I personally believe this is the worse 2k by far.
They didn't hate 2k23 or 2k24 until they patched the game. The 1st week of those games were fun other than the crazy amount of steals
2K25 is worst than 2K18 by far & why I saying it might be the worst is because 2k is trying to cap your capabilities at begin good at the game ex. moving the green window on shooting nerfing the meter dunks I can keep going it’s just bad
I agree this shit is cooked. 2k18 was terrible but 25 is even worse. You cant do anything consistently in this game
Finally the goat brute speaks up instead of people saying he playing both sides 💯🎯
This game isn't that bad. Does it have issues, yes. But it's fun at the same time.
2k21 was the worst 2k ever.
2k25 is bad.. some rec and proving grounds (5v5) randos make it worse than it actually is. Som3 players only want to play on one side of the court and it aint defense 😂. It has to be an unspoken rule among smaller guards to not even attempt to play defense on each other and only worry about getting on the break and scoring. Pgs out here with 70 passing because they dont want to pass. Lets not talk about the drastically undersized bigs who cant rebounds😢. (They really out here with an 80 def and off rebound😂).
I buy 2k every year because I do enjoy the game,, I just play I know the game will have flaws but I overlook that and just enjoy my experience!
2k18 was the worst, but 2k25 is top 3 worst.
People like 2k20 so much because of covid and there was nothing better to do than play with the boys. If it wasn’t for covid 2k20 would definitely not get as much love as it did
Like you said..my 2k experience depends on the people i play with
You read my tweet in the video lol pretty cool. Truth is, we are all getting older and grumpier. Remember when pushing was in 2k19 for like 7 whole months? You could literally rock bottom people without raising an eyebrow! I could shoot with a lock that had set shot 25 and a 35 3 pointer. The only 2k that I immediately put down was 2k21 next gen because one build was a Demi god so we all had to make the 6’7 or you’d be at a massive disadvantage.
PS: I play since 2K on Dreamcst ✌🏻😁
Ppl in my opinion are going to complain regardless does 2k25 has its issues HELL YES.But is the game ass NAH.
Literally everyone will still buy and play 2k26 next year like this isn't the same every year.
Reverting the paint defense changed the game for the worst. A person standing in the paint shouldn't cause me miss a layup/close shot. Much better when if they didnt contest IN TIME then you'd make it
the thing that kills 2k for me every year is knowing that reaching the highest rank (Legend or whatever it is each year) is basically impossible if you have even half a life. Shit is demoralizing and makes me lose interest by the game’s 3rd season.
Man im doing a vid later today… ABOUT how we acting like some girls man when it comes to this game…. first off i have made Seven Builds… all over 95 overall …. no money spent….. just using all the exploits and add ed methods 2k put in the games with fiba and getting VC from playing current endorsement deals….
I say that to say this… this game is fun….fire, and NOT extreme. as these dumb content creators paint narrative… 2k did everything possible to help your experience on this game….. some people just trash and dont know how to play the game or put there builds in the best position to be great…. yo the cap breakers,1 max basge upgrades….and badge level ups… really help your build…… and gaming experience… i went from trash at shooting and speed boasting to goated now…..the dribbling is fine… the defense is fine… i locked shhh up with my lock down and my builds with no Defense…. its just how you play…..they made the game accessible to be good at any game style you have!…. honestly yall some weirdos on the internet.. complaining to much!…. you dont have to spend money….. i spent nothing and have 7 builds 95 plz because of 2k added methods to get money….. yall just lazy and act like babies….

I've been looking for somebody with some sense. Amen brother
@ Thank you bro…i just cant take it no more…. ITS GETTING REDUNDANT for no apparent reason! this game is so fun!
@@zionprincedawid that closing statement is everything.
Bro I just dislike how my rhythm shooting don’t register consistently anymore. I think taking that delay out of it messed it up
Ik we do say this every year but I actually think 25 is the worst fr. Dunking is literally non existent (Plays a big role in the 2k scene) and you can’t even time your jump shots consistently. We can’t even see our green windows which is insane😂😂
Edit: Honestly we need 2k19 archetypes back😪
Every 2K has its problems(as most games do)and typically they could be fixed but if we’re talking about fixing 2k25 from a myplayer game mode perspective(rec/park)the games cooked. Most 2ks the problems can be fixed with a few slider changes the foundation of this game(the myplayer builder)is completely broken. They tried to fix the tall guard meta an literally broke the builder. What’s the point of making a character above 6’4 if all characters 6’4 or under can have multiple 85+ stats. Even if they wanted to nerf certain stats they couldn’t because so many people have builds with 99 stats.
They gotta stop changing shooting.
Is it not possible for previous games to be bad, and this one be the worst? Smh. Even prisoners prefer a regular cell over solitary. We are in 2k solitary right now. It’s so bad
Not being able to make a 6'8 PG hurt my feelings
2k is turning into a RPG game
The game had potential, and the pro moves are fire, but the new logic ruins it. For example, "High Flying Denier" is just chasedowns, so now contests from behind are back. Shooting is okay-I hit 65% from 3PT on High Risk but used to get 70-80% in previous 2Ks. That’s on me since I had to change my favorite jumper.
"Paint Patroller," though, is broken. It’s a badge made to stop dunks, so with this logic, if anyone has the badge, no dunks happen in the paint-period. In Solo Rec, if your team’s big can’t shoot, it’s game over. The other big just camps in the paint and spams triangle, shutting everything down.
The invisible dunk meter adds to the mess-you can’t tell what’s a good take. Plus, you can’t move how you want without 92+ ball handling and HOF/Legend Lightning Launchh. They just overcomplicated everything.
I agree worst 2k of all time
It just boils down to shooting. People shot 70% or higher last year which gave them a false sense of superiority.
I won't compared it to other 2ks because every one has its own flaws, i will say though that is year feels random in every aspect. Rewards are great but the gameplay just feels random, the worst part about it is even when you have 99 attributes there is still random animations that don't make sense. I just want consistency, and this year there just isn't any.
The thing about the old games is they still had so much fun attached to the games yea it had bad parts but damnit the fun was unlimited regardless of the bugs the old games had the community at its peak and had the best fun!!! 25 is just so inconstant you cant dunk youre forced to miss 3s mike wang said it himself when has 2k started making us purposely miss shots?
It's crazy for a game to have the same complaints half a decade later. That's an indictment of the development team.
The biggest complaints are coming from the guys making builds to exploit the game. Making post builds cuz post moves were broken. Then high steals cuz passing lanes were broken. They make a new build every time there’s a patch. Spend the money on it to cheese the game then mad when the game fixes that. If everybody had their own build instead of building to the game then it would be a lot consistent gameplay.
