Yo, i had to pause and say this. I remember when VC was introduced too and i told my cousin it's gonna be pay to win eventually, don't support it, i stopped buying 2K for like 6 years. You're absolutely right, i remember people being made fun of in the comments for being broke because they complained about VC. It was/is ridiculous. I'm glad i wasn't the only one who noticed that.

In regard to the guy that said Giannis can keep making 3s, I kind of agree. 2K has always been about who has the easiest shooting form. You could have a guy with 60 3pt rating, but if he has an easy shooting form, you can green it every time. Whereas someone like Jokic who has 80+ 3pt rating has a slow release so usually he has a poor shooting percentage in the leagues I've been in.

TBH this is true for the last 7 or 8 2Ks. There was a period of time where rating and timing were everything. The form was aesthetic. I can't pinpoint exactly but 2K11 for example jump shooting was based on timing and rating. It didn't matter much what the form looked like.

Yes that is true if I are at least a 60 and u time 3s right u can make them more than u should. Also looney has this treatment he’s a 69 in 3s and people make them more than they should. This right here destroy strategy in the game especially if u wanna jump on curry or lillard. I understand the badges like alpha (or floor general) increase offense for everyone on the floor but if that’s the case then they need to lower Greek freak and looney’s 3s down to the 50s so when they make ‘em that mean it’s one of those games or they were very hot.

I definitely liked 2k20, but I also think that, at least on current gen, 2k22 and 2k23 were both pretty solid. Even 2k21 was playable. 2k24 is just not fun. Shooting is less consistent and I'm really getting tired of having to re-learn how to dribble each year.

If you make a game for a console, it is your job to optimize it for that console. You can't use the 'old console' argument if the developers took time to make a PS4 version and not optimize it properly. That is not the customers fault, that is the the developers fault. The fact that (as you mentioned) it is optimized well for PS5, that means that they only prioritized optimizing their shit game for the PS4 over the PS5. The problem is that whichever console you bought the game for, you are a paying customer so it's not like you're expecting something for zero money. I don't even play 2K, but I think that was a subjective and shortsighted take of yours. No hate, just giving another perspective than your 'retro console, skill issue' take. I could use the same logic of your argument for the quality of your camera. You have over 600K subs and you're using a camera with the definition similar to a 144p 20 FPS PS1.

Pressing x and 2 seconds later your manhandling the ball handler 6.being in front of a defender then slowing down literally so they can touch the ball 7. Weird crossovers that feel clunky 8. 1v1 court stamina is garbage after rebound 9. Not being able to run up to shooters before they shoot as if they create a buffer zone 10. Pressing up on the analog stick but your player doesn’t do anything. Or in fact any time I press anything like lane steal and my player acts as if I didn’t press anything/flys out of bounds 11. The rpg element …just because someone is a playmaker with ankle breaker it auto activates even tho I’m not physically moving my controller… 12. Defense is hit or miss sometimes I’m lockdown other times I can’t even touch the ball handler like they slide right pass me. Smh

Its really about having a the “best” jumpshot and its why the cheats work so well. It still is hard to shoot in general because of the tiny windows and latency, but there are people out there that are automatic with certain jumpers.

The badge regression was the sole reason I didn’t buy the game this year. I’ve been dealing with their bs for years, but that was too far. They created one of the worst problems and locked the solution behind a paywall. Fk that.

3:00 this is sadly true... like how even if you play on rookie, it feels like you play on superstar.. like imagine, the nba 2k23 you let draymond green wide open on perimeter that's 50:50 chances the shot went in but this 2K everybody can shot on and off dribble, off screen etc.. like this game frustating me even if i play with 99 overal, ANT keep making shot on 3's let's say he making 5/6 three points in every games i player versus him.. like how tf am i supposed to enjoy the game

[@TheKamoi]

3:40 Not defending 2k or anything, but if having to learn how to dribble and shoot turns you off, why even make that kind of build in the first place?

[@SirBallup024]

The dude complaining the shooting is to easy is probably a play now, or Myteam player. The shooting in the non Mycareer game modes is way easier. You don't have to green a shot for it to go in. Contested shots go in more frequently. When the game first dropped people were casually pulling from the logo with Devin Booker because of how easy it was to shoot. He's not wrong

[@grooviestneedle]

It's a shame that the game is steadily declining, 2k5 shit was a masterpiece

[@RobotReese]

I agree! I was an avid NBA2K player. Been playing 2K since the original Iverson Dreamcast versions (I'm an old head). I have the disposable income, I have the free time (No kids) and I refused to purchase this year's game when I saw the money grab of the battle pass. Like this isn't Fortnite, or Apex. It's a yearly $70 basketball game. I used to shell out for the special edition, get the VC and ball out. But I voted with my wallet and refused to support this new game. Despite a lot of people saying they would do the same (Checks 2K sales) that was cap. So expect more of the same from NBA 2K25.

[@senjukirameshi1418]

8:28 i think what dude was trynna say is the cpu no matter the player or build can knock down threes like klay and steph also the shot timing for mycareer park pro am and rec are all different and have latency

Got this game for free with game pass on my Xbox. I haven’t played 2K for over 5 years. Safe to say it’s one of the worst basketball games I’ve ever played. Can’t even make a layup if there’s someone close too you.

[@peternguyen2908]

I can’t believe the in-season tournament has been essentially locked behind 2K’s paywall micro-transaction modes of MyTeam MyCareer. NBA did something cool for the fans and 2K monetizes the hell out of it.

My first time playing MyPark was 2016 even though id be playing 2k since xbox 360, 2k16 was fun af, they were still making the game better around 2k18, I decided to stop because, 1. It started to take wayyyy too long to get to a decent overall, you use to be able to get 3-4 players up and mess around but now just 1 requires so much time and effort for badges and 2. How ridiculous that every year you lose the character you just built and wasted a whole year on and then the servers for last years are just shutdown right away, you pay 100$ for the game and then you basically have to spend another 60 on VC just to get to 75 overall or be behind everyone for a few weeks the last i seen they had reeces and gatorade advertisements in the game, its getting out of control and as long as people keep coming they have no reason to stop. Huge Time dedication + a lot of $$.

[@mattswish]

For me it’s really the badge regression. I don’t use the same badges every game. If i grind space creator to HOF but play 10 rec games and use it twice it goes down to silver etc. I’m not always the PG so my handles go down, forces you to play MyCareer

The reality is, as someone who plays almost exclusively sports titles and has for 35 years, the last 15 years have been THE WORST FOR ALL SPORTS TITLES EVER. It is downright PATHETIC/RIDICULOUS, and yet people keep buying them. I won’t buy a new sports title until it’s AT LEAST HALF OFF because I know even at half off it’s not worth half of that price. Realistically these games are worth $15-$20 AT MOST and that goes for every sports franchise EXCEPT MLB The Show.

Please keep in mind not everyone who plays 2K or video games is an adult. It may be easy for kids to get a job, get money and get paid in ur country, but also pls remember not every country is the USA. I have an Xbox Series X (thanks to my Ex GF) and a PS5, so I don't fall into the "can't afford/don't have current gen" category, but to say these consoles aren't severely overpriced in most countries (maybe not USA since you don't have to pay almost 100% tax on top of ur $ 600 or $ 700 ur already paying for the console), there are a LOT of kids whose parents don't not see the point of spending the price of a some 2nd hand cars on something that is not all too different from it's much cheaper and very similar predecessor in Xbox One and PS4. In a country like mine (SA, easily the retrenchment capital of the world) getting a job and keeping a job has almost solely become based on nepotism as opposed to qualifications and performance. When you still have rent, groceries, fuel, medical aid, insurance and car payment among paying for literally everything, it can be hard to just save up and buy a current gen console for R 12 000 - R 17 000. This is why so many people can't just "Upgrade" to current gen and why they still make these games world wide for Last gen consoles. And though I'll be emigrating to Canada next month and will also get to enjoy that American "Milk and Honey" experience of having so many ways to make money (and I can't speak to or for the people who pay for VC or builds since it's something I've never done and never do and only buy 2K on sale which happens often because they're good games that suck every year in key places), I can't just forget the people who work hard but aren't as fortunate as me & you in terms of outcome.

I get confused why people hate 2k24 , I’ve played 2k since 2k11 and every year the game had improvements to make the 2k24 product we have today. I’ve known since 2k14 that the park is toxic and can ruin your experience because so many players have exploits , so I play myteam , mycareer, and proam and I gotta say it’s one of the best 2k experiences in longtime 👌🏼

[@CrestlineIceberg]

I will say this. I have played 2k for years and I always put in a lot of hours into it because I loved basketball and I loveplaying it. Don't get me wrong, I had issues with gameplay and other things when it came to 2k but I still kept playing it because I could have fun with playing it in some form of capacity. I love to grind in MyCareer to get to a reasonable overall and then go play with friends to try to upgrade the rest of the way there. All without having to buy VC. 2k23 was the start of that changing and I will end up learning how bad it would be in 2k24. When I started playing 2k24, I can't help but to feel disgusted by how bad the microtransactions has gotten. It's one thing to add in an $150 option for VC, which is already past pushing it but then to add in a battle pass and level skips as well is just the last straw. We're already having to pay a minimum $70+ if we get the next gen version, Then we would need to buy VC, so if you don't get the legend edition, you may spend another $100 if you don't want to grind as a 80 and then you get a option to spend another $100 for a battle pass IN AN ANNUAL RELEASED GAME and level skips to the level 40 season reward. To me, there's no point in playing because the levels skips removes the grinding for season rewards and with cheaters and other terrible things that the game provides, I would just stop playing and go to something else. I don't have any hope that any major changes for the better will happen in the series until people stop buying it . That's the only way they'll make it better.

[@rinkashime261]

2k23-24 should just be like 2k14 simple and not all complex. I remember playing 2k14 and i was i heard of this vc glitch and basicly what u would have to do was have a F teammate grade and score no points, get no ast,steals,rebounds,ect and foul out and when ur in the upgrade stats u would see ur name with no vc by it the vc would be gone, and you would be able to grade ur stuff to max to any ovr u wanted. I wish 2k23-24 was like that, some vc glitch thats no patched. Edit: 2k14 shooting and dribbling were very simple and there was no shot meter it was just you and ur skill.

just got this game on discount. The gameplay is literally unplayable and not fun at all. I've been playing since 2k12 and this year any difficulty will be making all kinds of cheese and sinking threes, it is so difficult to defend because the AI will make buckets even when you have fully covered their shots. worst NBA2K game ever.

[@robertking5412]

I think the Andy guy got misunderstood, he was referring to the AI. If the AI is open with anyone, like Giannis it will consistently green a 3. Then on higher difficulties you can play immaculate defence and the AI will still cook. Makes it BS because the shooting is hard for the user but the AI is automatic.
