NBA 2k25 Is SCRIPTED GARBAGE (RANT)

[@mckethannottage8852]

Just watching this video gives me a migraine. I swear I need to delete this game and never look back. This game is just so terrible!

[@victorraybillup]

😂😂😂

[@Rohanjackson1997]

Same but idk why I can't delete it despite it being this bad

[@Ian-q4g5w]

It’s just a game…..just play don’t have such crazy expectations of enjoyment

[@mckethannottage8852]

@@Ian-q4g5w we try, but it's tough being passionate about something u invested time in, and the expectations that they sell us ever year.

[@Ian-q4g5w]

@@mckethannottage8852 don’t invest so much time into it. Get a good paying job. Buy the game and vc at launch. Make a good park/rec build and have fun on weekends the rest of the year. You won’t be the best but it’ll be more fun.

[@kobe2curry4rose1]

The only thing I'm happy about is that I got it for $20 off from PSN store sale. I've been buying 2K since 2K9, but this is the year they finally lost my trust. This ish is hot garbage, I feel bad for those who paid full price.

[@SLOWESTPJ]

A white for game while covered is crazyyy

[@victorraybillup]

Insane

[@fatcrewproductions8986]

Real player % has been allowed in online gameplay before. I believe 2K22 was the last one to have it.

[@victorraybillup]

Paint defense and shot contests existed back then so I probably didn’t even notice 😂

[@bxpak1975]

Lol my wife think I be tripping when I be in here screaming lol.. but she heard your story and she realized I wasn’t tripping cause everything you said I told her the exact same thing

[@antoniobrookes2854]

It’s cause they broke the game to where you don’t need to green a shot anymore to go in at least for the cpu

[@wavynomad]

2k24 felt so much more scripted imo. This year I can actually win close games sometimes

[@hmp01]

7:18 just look at this pass animation from white, this is the worst looking animation I have ever seen, plus nobody passes the ball like that. just so untalented work by untalented developers

[@rooneyrodriguez11]

PREACH BRO it's like the game nerfs you for winning and hitting your shots. how do i go 5/5 from the three and 6/7 from the inside and win to then go in another game and brick EVERYTHING this game is rigged bro

[@frojoe4275]

just lost a heartbreaker i needed consolation after 😂literally same scenario as the intro, paint defense the worst

[@papahooligan]

I'm gonna be honest with you. I only do play now. So from my perspective I think there's a HIGH skill gap in this game. most people don't know how to dribble or get open. I've seen you play on twitch. A lot of the time when you're doing play now you're not doing a lot to get yourself open. I do agree with the number of shot profiles being a bit much. I actually do Normal risk because it's similar to last year and I didn't miss much last year. Also when it comes to defense, I really think they did a great job with the defense. They removed the animation spamming so you really have to play up. If you give someone space and the person can shoot then it has a good chance of going in. Like the beginning clip, you left D Mitch open. He's a clutch shooter. It deserved to go in. It's a simulation basketball game. D Mitch would most likely hit that shot in real life if you give him that much space at the 3 point line. That was just a breakdown defensively (AKA a you issue). I do somewhat agree with you on off ball is a bit over powered but there's a balance to that. Go to your coaching setting s and cut it of. It's pretty easy to do that. Also off ball cutting works best for people who play off ball all the time. So there you go. Also you need to work on your rotations. I do admit you need to know that the game will mess up and if you already know that you should act accordingly. Overall I think the gameplay from a play now is perfectly fine. It's just a skill issue.

[@victorraybillup]

@@papahooligan you can’t tell me this is a skill issue bruv I’m winning most of my games I can get an open shot anytime I want the way I play the game . The defensive animations are better than 24 but that game had no defense either 😂 And the animations don’t matter if they’re still gonna make the shot because of real player percentage. My point is this game is completely random there’s no way you play this game and can’t admit that. I get into nail biter games with people in play now that greened maybe 4 shots all game. The gameplay is fun but the random bs/RNG/scripting negates the fun. I bet your record isn’t as good this year as past years either. There’s no way you believe this game has a high skill gap this is the least skill gap of a 2k besides 21 next gen

[@victorraybillup]

@@papahooligan also I said off ball is NOT op in this game. off ball was overpowered in 24 and 19 this year it’s easy to beat even without spamming back doors

[@papahooligan]

@@victorraybillup I think Off ball defense is actually better this year than it was yeast year. The effectiveness of off ball cutting was an effective tool to beat off ball cheaters in 2k24. This year you really have to plan the off ball. I think we are saying the same thing here.

[@papahooligan]

@@victorraybillup Hmm... I guess? I rarely get into close games but I'd imagine if the games were close this could be a problem. I don't think it's random tbh. But again, I might be biased because It's rare that I lose. I think this game has a high skill gap because most of the people in the game rely on animations to bail them out like they did in 2K24. so most people don't use step backs, step back cancelling, etc... Since all of these moves are easy to do. it makes NO sense that people don't use them. So I guess it's not a high skill gap more of a skill issue? IDK.

[@papahooligan]

@@victorraybillup and you're right my record is def worse than last year but that's because of server disconnects, and me not showing up to 2K tournaments. I don't lose that much. Granted, I don't try to move up in the leaderboards because I only do 2K tournaments, so maybe I might feel these issues if I try to get the GOAT badge. Maybe...

[@teikalitv3933]

Def not buying 26

[@slump904]

I been saying this game kinda feel like nba live especially with the ball jumping on the rim like you gone miss then go right in

[@mikeoxlong1133]

Sounds like a good thing

[@gry000]

Game is garbage and we pay for this!! My eyes are bleeding everytime when i try to take this game serious. Thats the worst 2k ever made

[@10dev785]

Thank god I'm on the PC where we do have to get UPDATES!!!.....we keep our same exe files and keep the DAY 1 gameplay. Patches destroyed this game. Its a good game without the patches

[@YoungkillaJJ21]

wym they came out w updates game def is diff than last season. you cant even open the game till you update it

[@10dev785]

@@YoungkillaJJ21 you have to hold on to all your original files & EXE information. Im a offline player, these are things you learn through the years......

[@RubenMillsOfficial]

It was a grind learning the new game, but I actually think it’s really good and I like the rhythm shooting with no meter on high risk. It feels nice and rewarding and I can be extremely consistent. The game overall rewards patience for the most part. Although when it lags the rim running can be a headache for sure. I don’t like that they don’t have to time their shots, but the truth is if you’re good at shooting on high risk, you’re going to be out shooting them. But of course it’s cringe when they hit a white for the game winner lol. I definitely recommend lots of practicing shooting with all the different players, rhythm shooting on high risk. I’ve been annihilating people on play now online. it amazes me how everyone I play against is using normal or low risk.

[@von264_]

Low Risk is green or miss too 😂

[@StefanBulatovic-v1q]

This game is heavy scripted, on my first account i had 40-60 score loosing 40 or more games by 1 or 3 points and my opponents were running to the paint and scoring impossible shot's over my defenders even if i run zone they are dunking over 2 of my players in the paint. Then I created new account and my score is 115-40 all of sudden it allows me to play some defense and when i make some run like 10 wins in a row it starts again with same out of bounce bugs i cannot pass ball to open players and shit like that. I played with all time Charlotte against Minensotta and Gobert turned into Wilt Chamberlain he start dunking over Alonzo Morning getting 10 offensive rebounds, i cannot make open shots, Morning missing 2 or 3 clean dunks and i lost the game in the end scoring only 40pts against off baler. Then he was like hahaha you lost with all time Charlotte you trash and insults like that, not realizing that this game literaly gave him the win.
