PURE GREEN WINDOW OR MORE RNG | NBA 2K25 NEWS UPDATE

[@bigmixx]

Game is full of RNG now. Even to the point where your player movement slows down. You start missing shots. Missing dunks/layups. Turning the ball over easier. Passes going out of bounds.

[@mazibabySc803]

Mannnnn i thought i was tripping when I seen none other than capela damn near running the same speed as 80+ speed pg 🤦🏾‍♂️. Like how does that make sense. But my 70 speed center gets out ran by zubac game makes no sense

[@gabewright6603]

Mike wang gotta be fired his ass going backwards

[@mazibabySc803]

@@gabewright6603 immediately. 2k26 just gone be worse fam. Hate to think negative but when you got shit like this ain no way in hell 26 bout to be any better

[@DajourYounge-kq9ew]

i swear to god bro i got back on this morning my 6'4 90 speed with ball moving like he's 230 6'8 i thought something was wrong

[@Kev_Kash]

Even making passes.. one game you can throw smoothly, the next game you throw the ball like someone who’s never played basketball

[@Jdastarprince]

This game is wild. As a 7'1" big, there are some missed shots where I can’t even grab the rebound. My player gets stuck, and even though I’m tapping triangle while clearly in position to get the ball, it still doesn’t happen. Instead, the opposing team gets it. My player literally won’t jump. LMFAO!

[@sammymac2546]

Welcome to the rng simulator 25

[@Lord_D3mi]

This happens to me all the time lol. 😂

[@Freeborn-wreath9nba2k]

I literally thought I was the only one…when my team is up by so much, I can’t grab boards, I can’t hit a standing dunk…it’s such bullshit!!!

[@johnshack2306]

Happens to me 7’3 99 board. Sometimes he just doesn’t jump if I’m winning

[@FAT5AMS]

Bounces over your head to the 6'1 guard instead . I feel your pain

[@TheOtherDudeGuitar]

I've noticed that too. When we go up big, we stop shooting so much, and start driving, and rim running, because we already know suddenly our shots are gonna start missing.

[@cartrellbouknight410]

I’ve even seen AI GET PLAYER OF THE GANE

[@TheOtherDudeGuitar]

@cartrellbouknight410 that's because a lot of players never play defense on Ai, and just expect the other team to never let them score lol. If they are open I pass the ball that way.

[@cartrellbouknight410]

@ nah buddy this was different AI hitting contested out rebounding two bigs in the biggest possession not saying AI ain’t good lol but we can’t have the AI be the reason especially when the other teams AI isn’t even hitting his wide opens or passing with IQ

[@TheOtherDudeGuitar]

@cartrellbouknight410 the ai has always been tough for them to balance. I remember years where if you had an Ai and they had a full team get ready for double teams all game long, because the ai ain't gonna hit a shot, or play defense at all. Then like last year the Ai is so op players would rather play with one Ai on the team vs having the full squad.

[@cartrellbouknight410]

@ it’s lame man all these games are becoming more and more reliant upon their own mechanics than players skill

[@Diablo_CST]

I'll never understand how they overcomplicate basketball. 2k should drop one game and update it like Fortnite. Every year, it feels like I have to relearn how to play basketball. It doesn't have to be this complicated 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@birdmas]

They make too much money from sales to do ever do that unfortunately

[@jayb.844]

That wouldn’t make them nearly as much money. Probably not even close honestly

[@TKOxSolo53]

I was so sad when the 2k cycle started for 2k25 and we phased out of 24. I feel as though 24 is the best gameplay wise for nba2k overall

[@Exclusive1011111111]

In a basketball game u can only do so much with releasing one game and only do updates. Why u think they got a banana suit nowdays. It’s a BASKETBALL game and u can only do so much to a simulation game like this. I bet soon y’all gonna be playing in space. 😂

[@loskitheone5796]

You would think they make so much money off micro transactions that they would just keep updating the game .

[@LloydLumabi]

2k should have just reverted to timing base rather than this RNG that just ruins the game, i love playing 2k with friends but this is game kinda stressful rather than fun.

[@Josephsouthern-p7n]

One game shorting lights out 65%. Next game 30-40% so ridiculous.

[@HumbleMan89]

It’s sad that when I’m having a good game making my shots, passing when I’m not open, and making the right play….the next game I just know I’m gonna have a bad time 😂

[@WildcatGriff]

Bro you gotta chill with this clickbait ass titles. You literally never even mentioned pure green windows vs rng

[@oFreeYB]

Facts

[@jeremybellow9211]

He is actually talking about rng literally the whole video lol your not listening

[@tarrellsmith3260]

RNG is crazy this yr. It’s getting to the point I feel like I have to tweak my jumper every update

[@TuoEsy]

Facts!!!!!! Yesterday 2k took control of my whole team literally so the other team could catch up. 3rd Quarter in Rec is 100% RNG no matter what you do.

[@StrictCurlChamp]

Yup.. 2k punishes the winning team in 3rd quarter.. punishes the team that's up by one in 4th

[@xblowoffx]

That dont make sense at all. 2k punishes team that is taking stupid shoots or turnover. You can simpe restart that if you call for timeout

[@Lester3110]

Anyone remember the days of 2k when in online versus the final scores would be 100-89 and you could actually hit shots and make more than two 3 pointers in a row before the games algorithm makes you automatically miss. Its insane that the most offensive era of basketball the last 5+ years and 2k has toned down offense each and every year. The league hits more 3’s than ever but I used to make at least 4-5 more a game on like 2k13 lmao.

[@Health33570]

2k is not even basketball anymore, just cash grab and gamble

[@unclejunior2668]

That’s why I can’t understand how people wager in this game..

[@averyg.3916]

The problem with the meta is the ones who tell us we don’t have to play like that, play like that. Or they exploit other mechanics of the game.

[@BigDred_Tv]

Has anyone noticed among all the other problems 1 in particular? Where you're wide open for 3 and you have all the time in the world to shoot and you time your shot like you always do and shoot that thang straight into the rafters? Like wtf 2k! You'll get a random very early or very late input.

[@Samsonious2k]

yeah I got 3 in 1 possession in the rec yesterday and it was the 4th quarter with 2 minutes left and we were up by 2

[@fawkingenius9369]

This is facts. I was first going to say they patched my jumper, but that's not the case. I was 9/9 from 3's, our team was up 12, then 4th qtr comes and I bricked every wide open shot I took, it was insane lol

[@BIGE1992BABBI]

I don't like the off ball system. There times I'm like 10 feet away from my opponent and can't move my player at all 😮

[@cartrellbouknight410]

Yea they made that a thing in 23 where if you’re too far you’re sol

[@ricksterbobolishious7523]

Absolutely, I noticed it in MyTeam breakout mode as well. They have gold players scoring contested 3s over GO David Robinson. Something shady going on now.

[@CERTIFIEDCOZY]

Those first 2 clips at the beginning were mine 😂 I appreciate you using them. Just know agree with everything you say about 2k and also appreciate you taking the initiative of showing the devs in hope of change.

[@jaygunny8402]

I haven't played 2k for about 6 or 7 months. The game is ass, everytime I got on my pg it felt like my player was getting slower and slower. Missing wide open shots with a high 3. If I wanted to miss wide open 3's back to back I would go to the gym and shoot myself

[@looktotheword8290]

Gosh I miss the old 2ks and the arcade feel of the game. Like when the mechanics were top notch and there was a huge skill gap. When u can learn your shot and not have to worry about heavy rng (not saying there wasn’t rng). When animations were limited. I feel like in these new 2ks im always learning a new ridiculous animation that happens to me or the defender vise versa. Like I’m surprised all the time by the new stuff I come across. 2k is like an endless sea of chaos and there is always something new. We don’t want that as a community. We just want to hop on and have fun. Basketball has limits. The only dynamic part of basketball is play style. 2k has just got to get it together. My love for this game is starting to grow cold and I don’t want it to

[@isaactrujillo5396]

Well said… hopefully we get an update by next season. 🙏🏼

[@ImHim1911]

My crew and I play my league online and we have several members of the league who are head and shoulders better than the others, but like clockwork when those good users take the lead all of a sudden the goofy stuff starts to happen like clockwork and we miss the same free throws and shots that we were greening earlier. My fear is that this is just the beginning. 2k26 is going to be worse. This game is a prime example of what happens when you let none hoopers make a basketball game

[@beastmode1246]

they need to massively increase VC from dominating in competitive play (player of the game/grade/stats/defense etc)

[@ynnuhp1]

0:14 YEPPPPPP SMH I HATE THIS GAME

[@officialnoquestion]

Ngl this 2K algorithm is disgusting asf

[@iso-entertainment5070]

100% see this in the rec😂 2k are forcing games to be competitive.. they go as far as forcing us to miss free throws

[@gamerlovesgaming550]

That happen to us yesterday. The other team was down 25 points and came back in 1 min. We went into over time and my my player hit a fade a way three, which I don’t shot, and we end up wining the game. Smh. I have a 52 three.

[@alizelafleur7417]

I agree with you 100 million percent. My teammates and I have experienced that very often. I thought we were the only one.

[@Reverseiq]

They need to just drop a remaster of an old 2k and start from 16 on up until they get it right

[@MECHSICO]

As a REAL OG, been playing 2k and NBA Live since 99, I hate 2K I do not respect them anymore, I never pay full price for the game I always get it for $25 or half price. Im disgusted what they have done to our Basketball Games. The last 2k that I had so much fun in just playing regular basketball online was 2k14 that one was amazing. 2k18-25 are the biggest joke to NBA or Basketball Games in General. I hope and pray that one day NBA 2k goes under if any company deserves it more its them.

[@bigmixx]

The illegal screen clip at 8:30 is pre patch. Looking at the uniforms that's season 2 isn't it?

[@2kTeacher]

The last 5 days of season 3. I shot 80%(!!!) From 3 in pro am. (15 games played)Yesterday. 4. Games. 33% And im on a few different teams. No PG i played with could shoot either. And i couldnt shoot in rec either. Got kicked out of a game due to the lag. This is the worst 2k ive ever seen. Its not even close. But its going to get worse. Because we keep playing it. Went into triple overtime and lost in a pro am game yesterday. The other team full of bums could shoot. Me and our PG (our record is 16-4) could not. We lost. Game is ass.

[@coreycraft1583]

I would say honestly for me 2k need to make shooting a lot more fluid without the shot timing feature and coverage impact they need to get away from that and make the gameplay a lot more smoother for next-gen

[@legendary9078]

Man the lag is crazy

[@mazibabySc803]

That illegal screen is wild 😂. Man it be some games you can jog the ball up the court, for some reason your player by itself will jolt into the other player and they call a charging foul 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@UPxxNxxYA]

Yes and sometimes your player jumps multiple times after pressing jump once. Attempting a steal about ½second after pressing the button.

[@mile4880]

I just want frome them to stop this bs with removing +1 badges every new season i dumb

[@stierenmens4984]

It’s bonus I don’t get it.. unless you fd up your build and depend on that +1 hence it annoys you when it ain’t there..

[@LegendWest2k]

Another complaint if you get 15 team fouls in myteam you get kicked from the game and it counts as a quit. I had someone run to the basket every play and press square. I was up 30 in the fourth and lost bc the cpu got a reaching foul giving me my 15th foul. I lost the game despite being up by 30 points

[@Keebemoving]

I’m the only one who notice more missed layups has been happening since the update ?

[@jdm3litecoulture-572]

Bruh the miss layup thing is annoying. I get like 2-3 of those per game.

[@christian7344]

Went into a triple OT game yesterday… absolutely insane

[@xSchwarzy]

If it only cost $30 to get to max out my build I’d be more inclined to make more builds and spend more money. Got this game on Christmas and put 20 dollars in for my build, got him to a 75 overall and now I’m getting bored trying to get him to a 90 overall. I want to make a new build but don’t wanna put any more money in just to get my new build only to a 75

[@BTacticsTV]

Remember wheny ou could get 10k vc and the crib when you played my career? The 10k was the nerfed vc as before that it was 100k. Crazy you could get 4k a game and it was guarenteed an upgrade on any stat. I miss 2k17.

[@MarlainQuinones-mx2cw]

My passing has been terrible since the patch. There’s a 1-2 second delay between me pressing X and the ball actually leaving my hand

[@SuperTonebone24]

Ever since the new season started, I have never seen more missed. Easy dunks, ever, it's like I see 3 to5 a game

[@War4Pharoah]

I didn’t think too much of it, but… yea. I had my 1st OT last night & 1 today! Exact same thing. We beating a team by 10-20 points & they come back. We either won or loss by 1 point. That’s been last 2 days for sure. ….and I don’t spend money on 2K. I think it’s the slow grind to 99 that forces u to learn ur players animation cues. Not only the shot timing, but rhythm shooting & steal attempts …skill dunking, ball handling, etc. Soon as it becomes easy… bump up the difficulty. The challenge itself will force u to adjust the way u play.

[@MikeJones281hou]

My opponent quit in the 1v1 he wasn’t even moving and got his ankles broke. This game is crazy

[@JayDubbz1]

A random 3 overtime game is plausible. Happen to me earlier in the year it’s just a part of the game

[@dorkmagnet4527]

Grinding is a thousand times worst this year. The only way I play and enjoy is by beating folks with a lower rank build. I'm at pro with a 66 😂

[@noejustus8684]

On that charge he was in the restricted area. How is it even a charge at all? 2k crazy

[@unrealesedmuzik8250]

Bro my player started moving by itself for a whole possession I can’t believe ts , it’s crazy they don’t even hide it anymore 😭

[@takeovereverything241]

Yessss I’ve always noticed this i thought i was just bugging but hearing this confirms that i wasn’t

[@StrictCurlChamp]

That good ol' 3rd quarter.. 2k punishing the winning team at all costs... And 4th quarter they punish the team that's up by one

[@stayathomegaming493]

Yo that charge was in the restricted zone. Thats crazy. On top the fact he never touched him.

[@_YoungB]

To the teams out there that play zone against 4 users and 1 CPU and still loses … it’s not the game it’s you

[@UnderGroundSkoopTV]

I tried low risk shooting after high risk crom day 1 and i cant do it. Yes i might make some whites and green some but i make way more greens more on high risk. Could be all mental but ima stick with high risk

[@RocBihhhhh]

I remember when folks were saying RNG doesn’t exist lol

[@OGCHAMPIONCJ]

The one thing I don’t like is when I get a clean rip and even a teammate will go for the loose ball only for my opponent to smack the ball between the both of us to gain possession again. How rewarding 🙂

[@jones123475]

Yes that's been happening for a while now they really try to give the opposing team the algorithm why still I don't know .. bc the overtime thing is so so so unreal

[@marticusquarles3803]

9:50 it doesn't matter anyway, because the player is NOT outside the restricted area. It shouldn't be called a charge. The player HAS TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE HALF CIRCLE (Restricted Area).

[@kNeeko]

I feel like the block at the end… was weak coverage, quite possibly because his perimeter was low.. he just got the block…

[@zaezae241]

City you are 100% right , there are teams I know should beat and we could be killing them by 25-30 but soon as the second half starts , everything is hard , all of a sudden my team and I can’t make a shot , slightly early, slightly late . The contest system is the worst ….. there’s no reason someone stands there and gets a tight but my team is jumping getting light pressure “moderate” with 98 perimeter locks Why guards with 91 steal getting better steals and catching the ball clean when my lock has 99 steal and legend badges ? Game really sucks Pick dodger been broken for years…. Hasn’t worked since they implemented it in the game . Why are screens sucking me in even when I’m trying to avoid it ? And because the contest system is trash I’m held to rely on some people just missing. Why is offense always better than defense ? The dunk meter is still bad , guards with no interior can cancel my dunk meter while I have a 93 driving dunk. Chase down is still bad , I’m already going up and at the rim and the person in the corner jumps from the corner to contest my dunk , cancel my meter no foul. I thought 2k said they were gonna make the court bigger ? People can still play 2-3 and keep the big in the paint and not play honest defense To many issues in this game truthfully . And I have an 80+ win percentage in park , 90+ in rec , and ranked top 300 in proving ground 5s in season 1-3 so I ain’t complaining, but this game is atrocious

[@TyrillCelestine]

Happened to me yesterday lol same exact experience we were whopping on a team then couldn’t hit ish. Then went to overtime

[@mjrkidsvids7899]

Yup game is FULL RNG. Shooting is TRRAAASH. one second I'm sparking excellent timing then later that night I'm very late.. running in sand reaction time is trash... frustrating

[@rudolphhemmittjr.8101]

It's been difficult this year! They have taken all the ways to get VC Just getting to 99 last month

[@ireacteezy]

Is it only me that hasn’t received that “rep boost” this season as an Elite player?

[@youngjuice8482]

Do you post jump shot videos?? I need that one in the video!

[@johnramos5450]

Bro my 99 cs center all of a sudden couldnt hit one bunny . I have layup meter on, know my cue and its exactly where i release it every time... except when 2k wants me to miss.

[@ChampFreeze]

When did he mention the green window???

[@MrDevin728]

Ngl that’s actually mad realistic though

[@brayzzo35]

I just made a center granted it’s a 60 enough for bronze interceptor but I can’t get a steal between a center and a guard if they’re both on the blocks and everytime I make someone miss a layup or a dunk it goes in anyway and I block shots and they go in what am I doing wrong?

[@rhondaodom4796]

Man seems like my player slowed down cant jump for blocks,rebounds it won't even let me jump sometime

[@Andrew17B]

I wish I had the clip. Yesterday I was in rec, we choked a 4pts lead in the 4th and were down 10 with less than a minute left. I hit 2 back to back threes with under a minute left, cutting it to 4 after back to back stops. I then got another steal, which turned the shot clock off. My teammate launched it to our SF who was crashing out and not running back on defense. He bricked the wide open three. I got the offensive board, and had inside position on the big. (I'm PF) I went up, got the fastest close shot in history, very late tightly contested, but the big was facing the freethrowline and jumping away from me. I'm on the ground, ball hangs on the rim for about 4 seconds, and they dunk it with about 4 seconds left to seal it up 6. I then hit another 3 with 0.9 on the clock, and we got an inbound steal. Unfortunately we didn't have a timeout to reset it and clock expired. All this to say, I had like 12 pts or so with a minute left, then finished with 21. But missed a what I believe should've been a wide open layup to close us to one possession and play the freethrow game.

[@Jtbg80]

I thought it was just me. I’m missing a lot more shots since the update

[@BMcFlyLive11]

99 3 ball and yesterday my 3 ball was trash and the servers felt like straight trash all day.

[@JustNate365]

99 3, max badges, wide open, max stam, shooting boosts… should def have a pure window 😭

[@denlo9009]

It happened every game in the rec yesterday, it was dumb but not unexpected. Maybe pigs will fly and the devs will respond to all the negative feedback they're getting after asking for it, but I won't hold my breath.

[@bokclilm300]

Yo All City I experience the same shit. I can go in Rec an we be up 20 points a somehow the other team comes back take the lead a win or go into overtime. I be confused as hell like wtf.

[@getsmos.3701]

Please we need pure green back !! The satisfaction of greening knowing you made the jumpshot and not 2k it speaks volumes!!

[@Josephsouthern-p7n]

I have fun at time. But not often. Tired of re- learning my shot. My players getting buffed. I’m not gonna lie I have spent a grip on builds. But no more for the remaining time 25 is out.

[@Lord_D3mi]

0:24 Every game in the 3rd quarter or middle of the 4th quarter the game gets turns on its head.

[@jpauko7820]

Bro I thought It was just me.. I went 6 for 6 now I can’t make a shot.. ever since the update….

[@BeezyOnDemKeyz]

I Defly went in OT first day yesterday 🤣🤣… matter fact i lied cuz the buzzer beater was a 3 not a 2, but the fact it was tough all game. I did say this was my best experience on the game this year as far as everyone competing, everybody making the right plays…

[@GS_Khendy]

I just joined your Discord and it gave me an Idea. You and all the 2k KZbinrs your close with should do a community Tournament where you each draft players from your Discord communities to compete to see who's community is the Best at 2K? Could be a fun way to mix things up.

[@youngfase5372]

Facts, second half is a different game completely, I got 2 two builds and one plays good first half then bricks all second half. My other build is the opposite lol def playing against 2K

[@TooturntRocka]

All city the block was considered weak coverage because he was not in his vicinity when he gathered to start the shot , he got the block because of his wingspan and block attribute plus challenger , if he didn’t have those buddy probably would have scored.

[@lawrencedugar6167]

I did go to ot today. Won , player of the game. Game winning block and rebound

[@bigwayne9458]

What about the missed wide open regular dunks. No meter. 😩

[@jayhoav2120]

Why do yall worry about other people's builds/ how they play? Whats it matter to you? I just dont understand this. Its the same as worrying about someone else's money. Just worry about what you do!!!!

[@iamlegend4064]

All I know is I'm a 71 (just bought the game on sale), and none of my team was like over a 74 I think and I'm guarding a 99 in the rec. That makes no sense. None. None. I refuse to buy VC. I'm not going to.

[@litbag3043]

I ain’t play this game literally in 2 weeks, but once I went into 4OVERTIMES AT THE REC!!!

[@dalinkwent24]

I've tried defending this game for the first few months, but this trash ass game just gets worse and worse... I will be selling my console and staying on PC to play actual good games.

[@nathanmoser7282]

same, i really enjoyed the game the first few months, then ever since it has just gotten more rng and disguisting to play

[@iDiddledDiddy]

@AllCity What’s the jumpshot you use on your of big dog? Mainly the releases. Love how it looks visual cue seems easy

[@KASH-ms5ny]

Man this shii crazy asfff every game goes down to the wire unless mfs selling or being selfish

[@TuoEsy]

The 3rd Quarter on 2k is 100% RNG. Literally 2k takes control of your player to make sure the other team has a fair chance to catch up or take the lead. The question is why 🤷🏿‍♂️.

[@Vega_Sports]

Why why why why why do they make it worse on every patch??? I’m so tired bruh

[@aidenoljey]

Anyone else have 3 amazing games in a row and than can’t hit shit the next game

[@7evenmiledawgsYT]

Me and my bros called it the participation award programming/coding just to find out the actual name of it is RNG….. as long is that shit is in the game I won’t be buying 2k anymore. I went back to 24 current gen I can’t with this new 25 next gen it’s TERRIBLE

[@skertofsunrisehills]

No charge when you're in the half-circle in the paint.

[@RETROESKIMO3ATC]

I went to a 3 overtime in one game I kid you not we won it but it felt odd, we might have been in the same match😂😂😂

[@atpeacewitme3685]

I been saying this the whole time. It’s the momentum swing in the game. Every game is literally game seven nba finals… even 1 person vs 5… the bots become kawhi on defense and curry on offense. U can watch a 30 pt lead melt to 5 pts easy. I would rather the AI play offense like they play defense. It’s ok to make a play here and there on defense but none of it badges work against AI. Then on offense if it’s not a shot or dunk the AI doesn’t know what to do. So it’s a double team… I truly believe they are making the game for the my team community or play now…

[@N33zy23]

Definitely more rng with shooting, went to the my court to practice my shot, greened every shot to make sure I knew my shot, went to the rec missed several wide open shots I know I can make with a 94 3pt, the only time it should be rng with shooting is if your player has a 65 or below 3pt, it doesn’t make sense to have a decent shooting rating and not be rewarded for timing the shot 🤦🏾

[@Poorboyjono]

Please, Do a final compilation of the goofy clips when you submit to 2k. Would be a good laugh!
