NBA 2K25 NEWS - NBA 2K DEV REVEALS THE HARSH TRUTH TO NBA2K COMMUNITY & CREATORS

[@lilsin24kid]

The only things wrong with the game is when you play squad in the Rec and the players that are not in your squad think they should take all the shots and don't play defense and when the miss its ok but if you miss then you don't get the ball anymore thats BS!!

2k 2.0

[@GregLeCat]

True !

[@mauricewright5310]

There's another ball game is coming out next year by some devs that used to work for 2k

[@BLVCKSTVR_YT]

You mean like the one y'all abandoned for canned animations that was trying to implement real player physics. The game that was as pretty because it gave the players more control. Now ya complain about how automated 2k is and it always has been.

[@GregLeCat]

The one & only problem with this game is that the 99% of players has no BBall IQ !

[@Ryextia]

[@skywalker5964]

The rng be getting in the way tho with trying to use iq

[@johnnythomas1347]

That true 2 but da gm still trash I feel the animation of gm is slow one gm. The next gm moving fast and da same way with shooting not consistent sum gm u is then u not and don't need nobody 2 be there 2 miss ur shoots.

[@johnnythomas1347]

Moving with ball feeling like stuck in mud

[@Learning2Bme87]

I agree with that but look at today’s NBA. Clear representation of how the generation is. Its sad. The sport and the game is in a bad state.

[@cody24garcia]

If the community would focus more on playing basketball rather than get their averages by forcing the issue.

[@h3dg3l0rd]

I don't think people spending money on 2k mind 2k making money. I think the people spending money on 2k feel scammed when the game is constantly patched and has broken mechanics.

[@Bill-e-Goat]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾exactly folks are not getting what they pay for

[@twalters6551]

They are just killing the game most people are playing cause they spent money i will be curious how 26 sales

[@twalters6551]

I been looking up 2k videos seeing people with 800 views shows how little interest people have

[@KAY4K20]

Yeahh true as hell, 2k died out for me, as you said broken mechanics along with too much money needed to play, now with seasons and a pass that both have kitty ass rewards meaning no value to the game of basketball itself. Still never bought 25 then the servers cut off after 2yrs, money being wasted in a continuous cycle just to play.😂💯

[@TuoEsy]

Facts bro. We are the only community that buys something band new and it’s broken b4 we install the game 🤷🏿‍♂️.

[@Not____Applicable]

Ima be real though, it’s really crazy how they keep having these issues with people on Twitter and you Brute still haven’t gotten an invitation to like 2k day or as a 2k partner. You’re the best in the community at covering what’s going on with the community or the game from a purely objective standpoint, you’d think they would want your opinion for the future of the game above a lot of other voices. Just in my opinion.

[@brutalsim]

That’s why I call bullsh** when they speak.

[@DeezyZFW]

60/40 split of 'There's more casuals that don't actually care about the shitty gameplay than you think' and then 'Stop being mean to the devs'

[@trapgod3505]

Game trash , PG’s be wanting to be the Hero & take every shot 😂 , you’ll miss a wide open lay up but your opponent makes a light pressure , the whole Rng shooting thing is dumb . i have no faith in 2k26

[@officialnoquestion]

Agreed

[@KAY4K20]

🤣💯.

[@PierreRembert]

That sounds like a community problem. 2k basically said no more hiding bad defenders in the corner. No more meta offensive builds that are unguardable. Gotta use your team this year and yall hate it.

[@trapgod3505]

@@PierreRembert no more meta offensive builds ? 🫠 so 5’9 - 6’2 99 3ball , 99 dribbling hiding behind screens 3 hunting with a 6’7 lock that’ll guard the PG on the other team while his PG sit corner . thats definitely the meta lmao

[@officialnoquestion]

@@PierreRembert you make no sense, he just said PGs don't utilize the team and you get into a rant and say we're mad we gotta use the team when his complaint is the exact opposite, he wants better teammates.

[@allcitybighec]

My feelings exactly. It’s clear what 2Ks agenda is. We gotta choose where we stand for our own personal reasons. That means having some pride and not begging for their validation and imo not having resentment for others that do get their validation

[@tentoe5431]

I just made another build last night 💀 I give 2k money constantly. I spend about 40$ or less a week just on drip and boost. Last night I spent about 140$ 🚫 should’ve just got the 150$ pack. I’m saying all this to say, 2k does not care about its community/customers, challenges are way too grind driven with terrible rewards (vc,clothing,etc), and the biggest slap to my face was the anticipation of the new game mode, for it to release with a price tag. SMFH 2k does not give a damn about the people playing the game. They say it’s marketed towards kids, but kids are playing games with friends online nowadays. Where does 2k make its money??? Online Why would you put such a high price point on micro transactions for a kids game? These dudes are evil.

You’re the problem sending them $150 a week. Why would they change anything?😂😂

the community as been killin this game for years since i been bck playin. I havent played 2K since late October n i really dont miss it

[@Nice_Tokes]

While I did take a short break in season two, I've played 66 rec games so far this season with my brother and just three randoms. I don't believe the game is as bad as people think; it's more the number of people who don't know basketball or make builds that do the polar opposite of the builds' purpose. I'm 23 games over .500 this season in rec, and it's honestly a community issue. Granted, the game is not perfect, but it's definitely enjoyable if played right.

[@deezosaintloyal]

There needs to be a developer out there that has passion to create a non nba basketball game. a simple game. you create a player, then use that player in parks or 5v5 gyms. free game, free upgrades, solid gameplay. at this point, the 2k community doesn’t care about the actual nba licenses… we just want to hoop on a good game that isn’t trying to kill our bank account

[@kirtisv9511]

Imma be real Evan really not saying shit, and the game is horrible. Anyone who says otherwise is copping hard, and only plays 2k or mostly 2k and don’t experience actual good games

[@Successworththegrind]

Lol so the devs want us to be “respectful” and use sweet loving words when constructing them or they won’t listen… Are they respectful to their consumer? Do they give us all info we need? Do they work on server stability/latency? What about VC prices/amount of VC needed to be competitive? I can point to many instances where 2k have basically spit on their community and told us it was rain. 2k sounds like that toxic girlfriend who screws you over 50 times but the one time you say something, you’re wrong for your delivery. Not them for creating the issue in the first place.

[@BLKSHEEPSTUDIOS]

NOTHING BUT FACTS‼️‼️🤌🏾🎯

[@KAY4K20]

@@Successworththegrind Right this is very spot on, dude basically said they can’t take any constructive criticism at all, just straight to banning. The patches they release be so sloppy and short, like give deep details even Hitman gives you great details on what they changed, fixed, or removed along with sceneries and actions being fixed too. It’s very well detailed in one patch unless 2k lazy scamming ass🤦🏽‍♂️💯.

[@thomasgarcia8118]

people in the comments lost and clearly only play mycareer. If you play mt or playnow w a friend and put it on a classic difficulty like superstar or hall of fame the game plays how it always has and it is much more consistent. yall just dont play anything else and it shows. But based on what me and my friend have noticed the “online play difficulty” choice just adds hella rng to the game you are playing and I also noticed in particular mycareer multiplayer modes have a lot of rng but thats due to the difficulty preset they made so it is 100% intentional

[@killakev0]

Not banning you from the game but playing online.

[@ChekYoAnkles]

It doesn't matter nobody has a voice they make the game what it is a money grab people's complaints and inputs fall on death ears money is the concept understand this if the game is trash? That's it a lot of people don't care for 2k and the show will go on and y'all just keep putting money into the game and y'all will keep the numbers up including y'all content creators y'all spend the most bread keep it going til 2k26 and y'all will do it again next year

[@Bladrcntrl]

This is the downside of one company having the license of a sport. Since 2K is the only company that can work on NBA games, they have to try and make the game for everyone and it's biting them in the arsh. When we had multiple companies working with the NBA license back in the day, very little gamers complained because you could try another one. This is one of the only game series, outside of Bungie, that has such a disconnect from it's player base. I've been playing NBA 2k13 again and the shooting and movements are more consistent and fluid, compared to the recent games. Yes, the AI is very dated, but souly on how player movement and shooting is, it's consistent and the game doesn't take control away from you, for the most part.

[@PierreRembert]

@ so if there are players who can be more consistent, is that a game issue or user issue. Mycourt doesn’t have latency so you are pretty much playing to different games. Gotta sharpen your skills on the 3s court vs a real user then take it to 5s. 5s you won’t get nearly enough touches to 0 in on your shot.

[@toosoon6209]

Fortnite need to make a basketball game 🤔... tired of looking at yall since 2k15 complain as well as myself but for that simple reason of complaints for something I paid for which is no different than anything else I purchase; complaining and seeing copy and paste for fixes and lies: I had to exit myself from this game. I just drop-in to see and hear if anything changed and just like anything else that hasn't changed it will be the same. So far, that statement is true about 2k basketball. Actions speaks louder, yes. The thing is that when playing a game is to have fun, not to go through these mechanics 2k have to hook you compared to other games and their hookness is not fun for the game. My opinion
