THIS IS THE SAME MAJOR ISSUE | NBA 2K24 NEWS UPDATE

[@LegendWest2k]

Steph Curry didn't break the NBA. Everybody tryna BE LIKE Steph is what broke the NBA.

[@deebrown2055]

Thank you. Facts

[@southspade99]

Well said

[@spiritual_Durags]

It was James harden

[@DreDaGodSon]

It’s the follower mindset. A 7ft5 player taking 10 + threes a game is ridiculous. In 2k community, people be complaining & throwing tantrums when you don’t make a build that cares to shoot.

[@ActionJackson-ib9nt]

So if somebody shoots a 3 they're automatically copying Steph?

[@seandon716]

Bro we came up on highlights too …i remember having sportscenter on as a kid and wake up to the same episode from last night

[@Health33570]

Basketball is an art, approach it how you see it. The play style is your pen

[@getrichtothis1585]

Lol facts but everybody copy in paste mode. why I would never make a video of a build i made that I feel is 🔥might see some clips but not the stats an styles using, tips and hints but never give up the sauce.

[@savijgaming510]

Best fix for the game is this… give 2 game modes Arcade (park, rec, theater) Sim (Proven Grounds, Pro-Am 3s and 5s) Give incentives to play both sides. We all know that the game sliders and be altered and difficulties. Allow flexibility and freestyle play for arcade and more structured articulate games for sim. Essentially 2 games in one. Play completely different to give a variety. Next allow certain badges in each mode. Arcade should have like park badges and fun badges. Sim should have some but also around team play like floor general, defensive anchor, and other badges. More details but i would have to write them down

[@presidentialo4836]

She got it backwards! 2k actually mirror the nba. 3 hunting became more prevalent in 2k after Steph curry’s emergence. 2k21 with Zion on the cover was the year everyone made 6’8 rim running PF’s. This year 2k25 you see ppl tryna make Wemby type builds etc… the game tries to mirror the leagues shot profile and meta not the other way around.

[@lvdon4x509]

Valid point.

[@getrichtothis1585]

Stuff changed after tim Duncan ginobli Parker erra.

[@sersenseiy7104]

For y’all to sit up here and act like pure shooters and stretch bigs didn’t exist is insane hell playing in sunset alone you knew you was only playing shooters it just lets you know how long people being playing 2k not a mention of none of this shit

[@Your_Average_Gamer_Fabo]

I don't ever see the NBA dance behind a screen and wait for their defender to get sucked into the screen so they can shoot a wide open 3

[@FL1PZ00M]

Istg the game, since 17 , been about holding the screen and dribbling for a 3 or dunk/lay

[@iTROLLxTHExTROLLZ]

😂😂😂 Facts

[@soulbruthanumba5177]

A basket at the rim is still a higher percentage shot than a 3pt. I miss when the game followed that logic

[@CobbyBryantGaming]

long story short, the games are on 20 different streaming sites which is gonna bring your viewership numbers down, i would say we still consume the same amount of basketball if you were basketball fan anyways.

[@time4sumaksion203]

Lmao that girl just said a whole lot of nothing

[@Old_Gaming_Dad82]

[@Tevo-k1b]

No offense to the KZbins and streamers but I feel like yall mess up 2k. Before yall we was able to enjoy the game, nevertheless, Yall are no better than the developers that makes 2k. I not into games no more cuz yall KZbins/ streamers always trying to break the game. It is what it is unfortunately.

[@acawn62]

3'a didnt ruin the nba. 3s just replaced long 2s by pf and people who couldnt shoot. its just spacing the floor for the better perimeter players. and hand checking and better refs and the games would be better. also its hard to watch games, whats the point of the having league pass if i cant watch my local team on it

[@MiingoCrazy.]

SGA is the lone non 3pt hunter in the league rn. He is an elite scorer doesn't matter where he gets it but, he understands the closer he is to the cup the easier the shot is and he is elite at gettin to his spots and change of pace. some folks just aren't that good to begin with so they gotta resort to other options.

[@Dragonrage132]

@@MiingoCrazy. Jaylen Brunson, Kevin Durant, his teammate Jaylin Williams, Jimmy Butler, Cade just off the top of my head still hunt middies. Shai isn’t the only one.

[@MiingoCrazy.]

@ nah you right, i forgot about Brunson in the moment. But out of all the top scorers him and Brunson take the least amount of threes. Cade too. I’d consider KD a a fairly above average 3pt shooter when it comes to attempts. Hell Chuck up his fair share.

[@rod8139]

Season 1 of 2k25 was probably the best. The learning curve and reward for shooting was awesome. Now everyone shooting crazy

[@iTROLLxTHExTROLLZ]

Na. Everybody is not shooting crazy. Slightly better for some but not crazy like 50%+ from 3. But at the same time a lot of the ppl complaining are taking shots from 3 like JoeKnows and they really not like that. They just want the game to bail them out when they take horrible, predictable shots

[@berniemorgan3179]

Not going to lie - slightly interesting but not really correlated to irl basketball. Analytics has hurt a lot of NBA player development!

[@Vega_Sports]

Floaters don’t exist. Dunks are nerfed. Standing dunk meter doesn’t exist. Post game was patched out. Mid range should an art form. Bring back 2k24

[@Ghostkilla773]

Unfortunately, 2k community wants to make unrealistic shot percentages. There's no variety in 2k. I just play offline and enjoy the franchise mode(which needs more love from the developers).

[@MikeJones281hou]

Double H was crying in a park game the other day. He was on a 6’5 and was getting mad because he couldn’t stop an inside center. To your point I agree.

[@leroyrobinson659]

I hate we don’t give klay his flowers for helping change the game it need to be Steph and klay not just Steph

[@getrichtothis1585]

Dont forget bout monte ellis

[@FryHndrxxLive]

I shoot 55% in the rec but I do feel 2k is holding me back from getting to that 60% shooting

[@RoyRyMUSIC]

She knows .. nothing but facts

[@The0nlyy]

7:35 that’s the problem - people can’t hit open shots AND contests are garbage. 2k literally has it backwards. They should have buffed the contests and rewarded wide open shots

[@DreDaGodSon]

Nah brother, when defense is center of focus, people always complain that they not having fun. Defense has never been a favored play-style by the majority in 2k compared to being offensive heavy.

[@The0nlyy]

@ Lol ur right i guess that’s how we ended up here 😂

[@DreDaGodSon]

@@The0nlyy That’s truth man, we see it all the time the amount of complaints that happens when defense is on the same level as offense. “The game is too slow”” The Dribbling too slow” No you just can’t blow past defenders anymore with strength and high perimeter anymore, pass the ball to your teammate & create plays for them to open up your game, not force it.

[@MiingoCrazy.]

I am convinced that due to there being a "Meta" in every video game someone in the process of making these games have favoritism or bias towards certain things.

[@sol-solthadon7012]

I agree 2k24 was a better game. One thing you didn't mention the controller layup and 24 was crazy. For myself I used the mid-range a lot at 24 was way better. The takeover system was better. And the shooting bar was way better. The only thing I didn't like was the way they took away progress on badges. Because if I play my career did I come into the wreck or play online I'm naturally going to play totally different.

[@DKRKingKong]

The reason why 3 were going in at a high clip is that defense has always been trash.

[@xavierxay7251]

It only became recently in the past 5-6 years that the middy has been a ghost in 2k 2k14-2k20 people were making builds with high middies to exploit that difficult shots badge from mid range

[@prodigyiq7439]

Steph Curry revolutionized the game. And everyone wants to mimic Steph because he’s proven that if you’re good at that, you’ll win more games. 2k didn’t change nothing regarding the NBA lol😭

[@Mr.Rosario88]

I’ve been 3 hunting in 2k for 20+ years. The 3pt shot just went from driving and kicking to corners to going behind screens and shooting from further away. Curry didn’t ruin basketball the 2011 Mavs and 2013&2014 Spurs. Curry just entered his prime at the right time

[@ClutchxWILL]

The problem is nobody takes pride in defense no more!

[@Logan-ee5rx]

Ive been playing nba 2k since the original nba 2k for sega dreamcast. Even back then i was 3 hunting against the cpu because mathematically it made sense in a video game. Eventually it did influence the way the actual nba game was played especially since a lot of the modern players were gamers.

[@Grizz1515]

We got a new scan face update in the new patch who is coming in the debut off the week?

[@DieselGreenLBC]

I ain’t gone lie, most of these nba players play style is a mixture of Steph and nba 2k. You can really tell the players who grew up in the 2k era

[@tysmith8880]

Great vid Brut💯🔥🔥🔥

[@eh6363]

What is sad is that people that play the game don't even understand pick and roll. 😢

[@Fred-l4c]

Quick fix, the NBA introduced the restricted area in 97-98. Now its harded to dunk in the NBA because of this, which you see more 3pt shooting because driving to the basket became weak when guys just stand at the line to take a foul instead of playing defense.

[@rachiddossantos24]

happy new year my guy and i think u should change the title name of the game

[@Not____Applicable]

The team who went undefeated 2015 and won a chip that very same year is the reason why the league is like that now. Not 2k.

[@lvdon4x509]

Bro that’s honestly 2ks fault in failing miserably to provide different clothes, hairstyles, tattoos ect. EACH YEAR ITS THE SAME.

[@Dragonrage132]

People have been 3 hunting and dunk hunting since 2k11. It’s a video game dudes want to have fun they not trying to throw virtual ass on another man in name of keeping the post alive.

[@iTROLLxTHExTROLLZ]

One of the main things I disagree with what she said was the Curry point. Dell had BOTH Steph and Seth shooting at a very young age and they've been shooting all kinds of shots/3s. So if that's the case Seth should be as good as Steph is as far as 3s go great shooter is his own right but he's not Steph level. Now maybe Reggie and Ray could have shot those kind of 3s and been just as efficient too but the league didn't gear towards offense so heavily in their primes as they do today. Defense was still "valuable" back then. Now the league heavily favors offense, specifically points so. Steph is one of one

[@The313psn]

News almost everyday yet nothing changes 🤷‍♂️

[@PVCKMVN]

Also I used to stand out in corner 3p line, irl I’d shoot that. If everyone by the paint not guarding. I hit it. No one is standing in the paint w there big man clogging up. Everyone wants to be that guy that hit the buzzer or game winner from deep

[@AGZisMe]

[@jjdraven]

[@zacchauslowery8869]

Wats was his three rating?

[@killapoo123]

In the nba they shoot open shot at a much higher percentage

[@gator6997]

Theres no rivalries in nba. they need to make divisions matter so games feel like they matter and teams can build rivalries

[@E2Rain]

While the NBA Meta can provide insights and predictions based on historical data, trends, and analytics, it is important to note that sports outcomes often depend on various dynamic factors such as player performance, injuries, coaching strategies, and in-game adjustments. For today’s NBA games, the NBA Meta may have offered projections or probabilities regarding potential outcomes, but the actual gameplay and results are ultimately determined on the court. I enjoyed this video and would say NBA 2K has the ability to make the game balanced based on real life stats but like you said people use the game to create a false reality to what they believe is better. When people that play the right way get shut out from a fabricated online game experience; they look to ways to make the game better for themselves or adjust to the meta. There more is that I could say but I don’t what to write a book on here. Stay Driven Brut!!!

[@LosYorkApollo]

8:24 best take of the video.. open shots ! Green.. Contested. Not so much

[@TrahanMarigny]

LeLe is the truth! great points as well my G!

[@walterscruggs25]

People have all these different narratives but the NBA killed its own league by trying to police the style of play. For example: a few years ago everyone was complaining about the style James harden was playing by driving and drawing fouls and shooting 20 free throws and it became a copy cat league and we complained so they stopped calling those fouls and Ant said it himself if they not calling shit I’m not gonna keep driving and get no calls

[@MiingoCrazy.]

not to mention, evryone in 2k cries for shooting 3s to be easy every damn game when its the longest shot in the half court set distance wise. Make that make sense?

Duh been knu this... I've been saying this ever since Steph Curry came into the league.All the kids wanna be like Stephen curry.Just coming to court dribble and shoot and play no defense

[@Coridumdum]

it’s not steph’s fault .. it worked for the warriors .. the problem is analytics.. why shoot a middy when you get the same amount of points out of a lay up or dunk with a higher percentage .. why shoot a long 2 when a 3 is worth more points ? the nba view ratings are only down due to pirated streaming services like streameast not the way the game is being played .. its a misconception

[@IlBlackIl]

This argument that 3s is why the viewership is down is asinine, because the worst viewed league and the era with the worst amount of viewership was the early 2000s, the dead ball era where they shot long twos and post ups.

[@IlBlackIl]

The real reason why the viewership is low in the NBA is cause the older players shit on the product and the NBA has a piss job at promoting foreigners and non Large market teams.

[@richporter102]

it gets boring if they let us hit all open shots 2k will die 10xs more but at the end of the day they better not make the parks like this again horrible a ship and a robot smfh

[@GabannaCoats]

See with 2k , the only reason people 3 hunt is because everything else is trash.. Midranges are trash , Dunking is TRASH , u can try make a build like Giannis and folks would look at u crazy all because u can’t shoot , if 2k made the game fun and stop making SHOOTING a top priority this could save the game. The game is catering to only 3 and screen cheese .. it’s less rewarding playing the game in a sim way..

[@marvinwilliams5999]

Forget 2k but how about them Detroit Lions.

[@ZooveyJacksonTv]

dunks should be 1 point jump shots worth 2 and behind the line 3 points. easy. problem solved

[@prodigyiq7439]

I disagree. I believe 3 hunting is rampant in the NBA due to its value and how much more skilled players have become at it. Also you’re very prone to injuries the closer you get to rim than shooting jumpshots. And what’s the better shot option in terms of value? 3 pointers

[@DreDaGodSon]

No it’s not when you have a mismatch and guarantee 2 points instead of a potentially made three. You can literally hurt a team by putting another team best player or defender in foul trouble by attacking the basket and being aggressive. A 7ft5 player shooting 10 + in a game is ridiculous whether he got a mismatch or not. Post up and get to work, you are 7ft5. Jokic ain’t shooting threes all game, he putting his back to basket and getting to work he is 7ft

[@prodigyiq7439]

@ bro we aren’t talking about 7fts🤦🏾‍♂️ not many of them can shoot 3s lol. We’re talking about guards and wings

[@DreDaGodSon]

@@prodigyiq7439 That was example but we are talking about the game as whole. These 7ft are following a play style that is more suited for guards and made popular by guards is point. Center right now are actually being encouraged to shoot 3s and getting less minutes because they can’t shoot 3s taken away from their production and play style. The fact still remains that a 3pt shot is low % shot compared to a guarantee 2 points or going to line for Free Throw

[@prodigyiq7439]

@ understandable but they still aren’t many so it isn’t a problem as much. I can literally count less than 20 7fts who shoot 3s a lot

i started watchng the nba because of 2k i remember playing with D rose rookie year on 2k and im like who is this guy and started watching nba games then i found curry and the rest was history the 2k games is ass it could be a reason why the ratings are down

[@Vega_Sports]

So why is dunking bad? Why don’t floaters exist? No hook shots? Etc. We need to stop 🛑 making excuses for 2k. We can’t post play, we can’t slash and now we can’t 3 hunt. Stop already. It’s a trash game

[@mbeamon11]

2k really doesn’t incentivize other builds other than shooting. I rarely see post up bigs and even less post up guards. I see why though. When the average joe can shoot 50% or better from 3, then there is no point of making something else.

NBA 2k24 news update….?

[@geradfast5549]

Boy yall taking this too deep, the game has nothing to do with the real NBA 😂😂 just making dunk great again.

[@tball84]

No the issue is 2K doesn't give us anything 2K just needs to be able to have a game that gives you the ability to play the game as you would if you were real meaning you have the choice for a layup dunk mid-range pull up 3-point shot as long as the statistics and the ratings allow that to happen it's not rocket science they keep on using algorithms ai and basic Vegas manipulation to keep people interested but they can't give you a good game if they do they may lose money but then again they may also make money and they're afraid of making money for a game that's absolutely legit

[@tball84]

Not only that but video games are supposed to be the fantasy yes they can have real life put into them but they're still supposed to be a fantasy as in being a big man that can look like a point guard or be a small guy that can be a center. Yeah it sounds crazy but that's the difference between something that's man-made and what's real

[@tball84]

Because the limits to which people can play a position due to height is a cab and 674 point guard and it doesn't make sense because I do believe magic Johnson was 6869 even though he was different but the game is controlled to where if you do that with a small forward he's going to put you in a small forward power forward category he won't put you as a point I've actually seen the game of where because there are so many guards they did put my Swiss army knife 67 as a small forward one time

[@tball84]

And the play style should be more like real basketball but still be a fantasy. Just like a lot of people need to learn how to pass the ball and post up and do the drop steps they need to learn the controls of the game instead of just pretending to be the superheroes

[@tball84]

Southside Bank differ when it comes to the medium range game competitively because if they knew how to move get open you know play basketball it would be a competitive thing in fact it would be damn near deadly because also being able to play defense would need to be working successful as well so you can contest those shots so you can stay with that man so you can actually play defense instead of letting the animations take over even though you timed it right and it should have had a steel sorry the animation works over you

[@tball84]

Know when it comes to tik Tok that's a choice of people if you're interested in it you'll actually stay for the long term if you're not interested in it you'll just get the highlights and move on cadet also be the way that some people think that the best the way life goes yes because there's not enough people around to tell them any differently because a lot of those people are also grabbed by the same bug

[@ALegend4]

Imma say this brute you’ve seen me countless times speak on this the 3s are trash in this game if everybody does the same moves to get open it’s no room for anything new to come about ex of there’s new animation or secret moves you’ll never see em cus everyone does the exact same moves setups so of course every game will be a high clip three point battle due to how the Meta is setup it’s not really ppl three hunting it’s everybody has the same Fukin builds

[@sersenseiy7104]

No it didn’t predict anything what interesting to me is as superstars got older they developed a jumper so they can play longer in the league it’s no comparison and she spent all that time trying to make an irrelevant correlation and when you go back to legacy 2k everyone didn’t join the same affiliation it was shooters vs dunkers vs defenders the community ruined 2k with badge methods and play styles there’s no comparison but I don’t expect new blood to understand this cause they wanna blame everyone else but the community influence so for the most part that take just proves she doesn’t really understand the evolution of the 2k community and it goes to show y’all really wasn’t there in the past 2k went from only patching vc glitches to patching builds and if you’re a fan of the NBA you would know superstars develop shots to play longer y’all say 3pnt hunt because y’all only know 2k terms but I get it it’s content but she doesn’t know what’s she’s talking about she’s literally just talking

[@ALegend4]

Yall contradict yall own points when you say we wanna hit open shots and reward good contest how tf is that possible if the contest system is broken some shots that’s not open is considered open and open shots miss due to the game servers will forever be trash so two strikes right there then it’s impossible to reward defense when the badges are In favor of the offensive player they never focused on defense ever not one 2k
