POSTERIZER Was "BUFFED" And Now Its..

[@DeadDropz]

Don’t understand why 2k even implemented a dunk meter with RNG literally what is the point of being a slasher this year

[@saintchryso]

What point of anything this year is all big booty 🤣

[@GeneralPropertyMaintenanceandR]

Or a shooter .. shooting is RNG too... Matter in fact blocks,steals, contest system, layups , movement on and off ball, defensive movement..is ALL RNG.. this game cannot be taken seriously

[@TerrionJones-tt8zc]

People miss dunks sometimes even the best dunkers

[@TheDuke2003]

It's a video game, realism makes the game insufferable for people with skill. Basic as that. You want realism? Go play tarkov.

[@VxbesVxbes]

The whole damn game is RNG

[@SupremeWry]

My honest opinion is the community ruined everything for crying for the game to be realistic but I personally feel like 2k was more fun on an arcade style that’s just me though

[@doddgotnext5605]

The community ruined 2k because of everyone running the Meta all the fun and unique builds are worthless because you’ll always be good mf against a 99 steal lock maybe two 99 rebound centers and a 99 three small guard jacking shit

[@definitionXrp]

Man 2k17 2k18 most fun arcade...then they made realistically arcade with years 2k19-2k24....then completely switched gameplay for 2k25 😢

[@j.aveofficial8553]

I would argue it’s 2k not understanding their player base as usual. When people complained about realism in the past, it was about illogical stuff happening. Like 7 footers shooting from half court all game in 19. Or non-stop dribble cheese and ankle breakers in 18. Balancing is what the game really has always needed. Not so much realism. The game just isn’t balanced at all, and hasn’t been for years. Realistic or arcade. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm personally not mad about dunks being toned down but it's a little too much with the missed dunks. I understand not so many poster dunk of year type stuff tho. I'm glad you did this video because I've noticed the same thing about the timing dunks

[@souloshinobi7307]

Been testing and if you don’t got high strength attached to your dunk and vert you get bumped outta animations easily

[@trxulyking3487]

So that’s why I can’t dunk on nobody

[@trxulyking3487]

Would 84 be could enough

[@MyNameIsLegato]

Yup. I have 85 strength PG and I barely miss inside unless it's a dumb shit attempt from the get go.

[@supamcnasty136]

@@MyNameIsLegatou think 85 is good enough from your experience?

[@JDMCSWAGG]

Yeah I got a 6’2 pg with 93 driving dunk 25 strength and a 6’7 with 93 driving dunk and 91 strength and I get way more contact dunks on my 6’7 with strength

[@idkman9995]

[@greycloudnine]

For me personally, I think 89 DD is the sweet spot for dunking. Out of 100 contested attempts, I’ve been taken out of maybe 30. My biggest issue is the very early / very late timing on my dunks. 2K definitely doesn’t want us getting posters consistently this year and I understand that from a realistic perspective but it takes away, arguably, one of the most fun aspects about a basketball game.

[@mikehunt9884]

Ive been having more trouble finishing inside for sure.. Standing or Driving, doesn't matter. I definitely noticed it.. Maybe i should start using metered dunk instead, see how it goes.

[@SheLuvzDav]

It can help fs. But the dunk meter is still RNG so it’ll only work “consistently” with a high dunk rating.

[@LegendWest2k]

I play my team. My Dr j card has 99 driving dunk 99 vert 99 speed and 99 strength with legend posterizer and 35 hof badges... And there are still plenty of times when my dunk meter doesn't even register and it takes me into a contested layup or drags me into a block ever since the "buff"

[@KcAznFighter]

Meter is worse for standing dunks and u can get pushed out of animation easier for driving 99 dunk sf

[@mikehunt9884]

@@KcAznFighter meter standing comes up so quick sometimes its hard to time, but i found hitting l2 to stop the meter works well sometimes. Still though, its hard to pull metered standing dunks online, I've been trying

[@TTV-Krypt]

You should still be able to use the dunk meter and you should still be able to time the dunk even if your contested no one should get taken out of a dunk unless they have the speed and momentum to push u in the air if u meet them at the rim they weren’t fast enough

[@ChaosHG]

People really think this 2k is the best with RNG included meaning we virtually have no control on the outcome of things on the game

[@definitionXrp]

Man soooo lame

[@dotty2k213]

Bro got me sellin 😂😂😂😂😂

[@DewyTrent]

Agreed, i got a 96 driving dunk 6’6 sg and hes a big boy, only time I ever miss a dunk is either if its very early or very late and mind you, i release the meter when the arrows are right on top of each other and usually green. I dont think i’ve even seen a slightly late or slightly early yet

[@draytheking]

Thank you smh, i'm tired of people online trying to say it's because we suck. There was times where i didn't even release the stick to see if "very early" would pop up and it still would. Game isn't worth playing if i'm playing at a competitive level and can time my shots/dunks but get penalized.

[@4nowunknown]

I understandike wang not wanting every meter dunk to be dunk of the year type dunks but damn it that was the best part about having a 99 dunk build... pure enterainment. Now theres barely a difference between 93 and 99

[@claiborne07]

strength matters…i have 2 builds with 99 dunk a sg and pf. my pf gets way more contact dunks with 85 strength while my sg gets thrown out the animations more

[@BADGEPLUG]

That's not what 2K Tutes newest test says, but I still want to see his next test on if height plays a factor. You can check it out here if your interested - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKOUnopufbKNnpI&ab_channel=NBA2KTutes

[@Posterizebaby]

they need to just put og meters in the game, where we can actually see our green window, cause this line work bs gotta go, they always doing something trash to the game

[@BADGEPLUG]

I 100% agree on this. I think the meter was taken out so Mike Wang could put RNG in the meter. Basically they don't want to see that you timed it right and still missed.

[@aharris9328]

So do you think 89 driving dunk is enough for a 6’10 Iso? Or I need 96?

[@joemorph915]

89 is good enough just don’t be expecting to be getting crazy contact dunks

[@officialulti]

that very early thing could just be anchor which reduces your make plus 2 players contesting adding both of their interiors. been like that every year. anchor lowers your chances of making it. yeah you timed it perfect but the game has always been by chance in the paint when it comes to anchor and tells you very early i suppose with this patch. Thats why i always inspect the other players builds, for info on why such and such is happening. if both those players got low interior and no anchor then thats definitely mike wang

[@Coridumdum]

you might be right about strength but height seems to have something to do with it my 6’9 with gold posterior dunks better than my 6’4 with legend 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@definitionXrp]

Taller your slasher the more slow the speed wit ball is...making him weak..6'4 is the best

We need live to make a new game. I jumped on 19 and it’s really not that bad. It looks great and the movement seems basic but not exaggerated like 2k. I’ve been officially done with 2k and haven’t purchased 25 because it looks like hot garbage. I’m not going through that stress no more, y’all can keep that weak overrated garbage. Playing the same game every year isn’t a motion when you’re in slow motion.

[@dracotype9574]

Strength is a major part I can promise you I have the same build with 6’8 wingspan and 93 driving dunk and I have only ever been taking out of a dunk 2 times but I’m burley with 88 strength it is very important im not completely sure if it’s there interior defense being higher or there strength being higher but i average 27 ppg in rec with 2-3 3pt shots a game

Badge I love you to death but doing bump steals (exploiting) shit game mechanics is not a skill. Personally it’s one of the most frustrating things in the game. How many nba games you watched where a PG is coming down the court gets blitzed and just dribbles it off dudes knee or ass. It rarely to never happens. Shit is wack. Bump steals should NEVER be in the game. Time a good pick steak on ball that’s a skill but hedging reaching toward the sideline missing me completely and me dribbling it off a dudes body part is hoe shit.

There are some very good ones at 6'2-6'4 but there's also very good tall builds as well. You have to factor in what more height/wingspan does and not just look at attributes.

[@Pradablu]

It is a video game unc

[@JetFlyLow3]

Your getting thrown out of contact posters because you have no strength .. it has a lot to do with it. Especially with the inconsistency in the game this year. Have to be balanced in the right areas. Yes of course if you green it should go in. Unless the defender contestings timing, position along with attributes are equal or better. Then green or no green you’re most likely going to miss or get blocked. 7’-7’3’’ +89 interior 99 block 91 strength and vert will stop a 99 dunk almost every time with good positioning
