the thing about sbmm is im literally a casual on 2K, i’ve never been super good but definitely not trash. I constantly get matched up against sweaty comp drippy face scan try hard who are 2-3 Rep levels above me (keep in mind im starter 1) it gets super annoying that i can’t win 1 game without sweating
@@robrtfit3939 nah facts, i don’t play rec bc i don’t like it but damn bruh my parks be full of starter 3-5’s shit is mad annoying when i get home from work at 11pm it’s a sweat fest
I think these past couple days they patched sbmm. I have been losing a lot on no squad theaters and I’m baller rank now. I think they now added team balancing along with the sbmm. I have a 65 win % and I’m a two way stretch spot up build, and my teammates are always guards who can’t dribble or rim run or play D. I found it odd that I’ve come across so many ballers and starter guards that can’t play their role right and I know why now.
as far as im concerned, real player % shouldn't even exist. That being said, the green window should be GIANT if the lane is opened and you go for a lay, i mean, nobody in the NBA would miss an open lay..
Bruh timing layups is dumb centers and pf need to put high interior defense if I have 93 lay up and you have a 72 in defense I’m suppose to lay it up if you playing hands up defense now if you got high block maybe but still invest in yall player vs trying to put attributes somewhere else
Things need to be patched asap 1. Intercept 2. Strip on dunk attempts (especially the ones coming from behind should be totally gone) 3. Contest systems on both perimeter and paint (especially close shot fades) 4. Bring back coverage% 5. Bring back layup/dunks green window visibility. 6. Remove real % on any my player online modes. 7. Very late timing glitch when using rhythm shooting (not sure if it’s just me)

Think it's driving. Some kind of bug that gives benefits to speedy players. Probably due to desync and the contest system / defense hounding not working properly online. Like look at defense versus offline modes and when you get paired against an AI.. The AI are almost perfect defenders if they aren't mismatched.. because they are on the server and can actually hound against you, while online people just run through you like you don't exist.
24:02 right here I have a theory and I really hope you see this badge. But I believe in this game your contest does not fluctuate on anything. That goes with layups and dunks. I see it all the time and that is why people with real player percentage makes so many layups. Because it only reads your contest when you start the layup not we it actually leaves your hands. Same thing with dunks. You can start a contact dunk contested but they they would leave you and you will be wide open but still miss it. That’s a problem in my eyes. The shots, layups, and dunks don’t fluctuate. It’s like what you said in the video but it’s also on dunks and layups. Not just jump shots.
2k needs to put events back in the park and not the event center. My theory is the event center calls for additional servers, which are probably not well established. Just use the servers in the park that are “stable” and established. They probably won’t though because events may intimidate most casual players who don’t want to play “sweats”, causing the active player count to go down.
Yea, that might be the case if casuals didn’t always get sweats. If you’re a casual, the odds of you running into another casual or someone of lesser skill level feel astronomically low. I’m not the greatest player in the world but I average 16 a game in rec with almost 50% win and that’s playing with garbage randoms against the gods of the game themselves
@@kylekimball3214 do you play park ? Just asking because I was referring to park specifically and you gave your rec stats. Rec has matchmaking… park doesn’t. So my point was the influx of “sweats” to earn double rep in the park due to an event, would increase the likelihood of casuals playing tougher opponents. Potentially decreasing active players.
@19:56 i completely agree . I feel like they do this already. I played amazing 2-3 days in a row got to pro plaque . then the next two days I played MISERABLE couldn’t make any opens got matched against comp only so I went all the way back to casual plaque . 😅 to the point I didn’t even want to load up anymore lol.
I think they are trying to make u make new builds. Happened on all my builds had 2-3 really good days then a day i want to smash my head against a wall.
My group growing up was from the west coast east coast London and Japan I never would have met them if 2k didn’t match us up together, the sad part is I got used to playing with lag/delay
Ima be honest, if the contest system goes back to how it’s been for the past 4 year I’d be very much satisfied! Ofc the major things should come first!!!
It’s crazy they was just complaining about missing layups when game came out and now that people got there eating and badges up we complain about making the easiest shot in pro basketball
In other games with matchmaking, you can easily set a cap on how high of a ping you are willing to accept. So if it's late at night and you'd rather play foreigners than wait, it's your call. But in 2K, they don't even let us see our ping to the server! So they can't even give us such a setting. And this is not an accident. If we see our ping, we will finally have hard evidence of how garbage their servers are
Since last year, been making my builds with 80 3 ball and high mid range, and the shooting badges from the mid range pretty much raise the 3 ball tremendously..
When it comes to SBMM I hate the fact that they changed it. I play random rec exclusively and at first I was able to consistently get good teammates around my skill level but after they did whatever kind of tweak they did now I get matched up with NPCs with no ripples in their brains. I even went out of my way to go make a center so that I could have more control over my fate (I was playing the 2 on my first build), and it’s worked to a varying degree but my Win% took a huge hit. Now I want to play Park 2s with a guard around my skill level but find it hard to find a decent guard nowadays.
another big big issue with the event is that it was completely unwinnable for people in non 3 stacks, we only lost our first game then won 7 in a row without going above a 2 win streak cause of randoms leaving the squad or getting booted
The proving grounds logo not coming up can actually be fixed by going into proving grounds record in the menus on whatever game mode you play on and it’ll come up next to your name
They need to change the lock on system there is on defense, when I’m holding LT I don’t want to be locking on to the big man while the guard runs to the corner
People find a glitch and RUN IT TO THE GROUND, and then get mad at 2k when they get to patching EVERYTHING. People are so bad at games to the point they LITERALLY find glitches to exploit the game so they can benefit from it
@@moreplugsbro he’s referring to the post fade that is unguardable, which is a glitch, which people are exploiting that glitch. also, the paddle. also a glitch, they aren’t intended for that, and obviously 2k didn’t consider them.. so again, a glitch. that people are exploiting because they suck
As a person that shot 70 percent from 3 last year this shooting system this year is awful people making homemade zens there is hardly a contest system there is no consistency
i’m so glad people are talking about passing being horrible lmao i’m sick of no matter what my pass acc being my NBA PLAYER constantly throws passes straight into the defenders bodies, like only chest and one handed passes no different animations or different angles and it’s annoying
i'm preety sure the vision que has a pure green window... its just delayed sometimes... but if i let it go right it goes in... can 2k labs test that some how? 🤔
It’s just funny the same people that this layups are to easy but shooting is to hard. At this point I think players just want to buff what they like to do and nerf what they don’t. Just like with the post scoring.
For stance on sbmm is that it should be in modes that require you to search for teammates and an opponent ie. theatre, rec, proving grounds. Park should not be skill based matchmaking.
It irritates me that I love a lot of the non gameplay changes they made this year (how quickly you get gym rat, the way rebirth is this year, all the info you get about animations and takeovers INSIDE the builder, etc) but I really dislike A TON of gameplay changes this year. I want last year's gameplay with this year's quality of life improvements.
In terms of shooting and green window. I wonder if anyone in 2k had a thought that "maybe, we should just set base green window millisecond value and correlate it with 3pt rating. Let's say that base value is 20 ms of gw with 100 3pt rating, 80 3pt rating woud be 16ms, 50 3pt rating would be 10 ms. Pure green window is set as 20-25% of center of gw. Let's just set it for all releases, to not force players to use just 10 out of 5000 combinations. Also let's say that base of jumpshot doesn't correlate with green window size, it would just affect speed, height and contest values (imho stability is pure BS). So everyone could use realeases that give them best visual cue, with base that grants speed wanted by them and height/def immunity (that will reduce contest in some %) that is acceptable. So on paper your shooting ability would be determined only by your 3pt rating, ability to match visual cue and choice that player made with base, whether he wanted fast base with less visual cue but more contest reduction or something slower and more obvious to eye but with less contest reduction". I don't feel that it works like that at all rn
It’s the trigger words for me “glitch” and “exploit”.. got ppl thinking pad shooting is godly.. still haven’t seen anybody use it outside of my court and it be game changing. Tag me if you know someone that streams and is lights out with it
The biggest thing for me with the button mapping is that it gives you an excellent tempo every single time and the only thing you have the time is the Jumpshot release que because shooting with the paddles or the D pad, gives you an excellent tempo every single time and that is the unfair advantage
@@KyKane I seen it from somebody else’s video and they were using the d pad to shoot with perfect tempo every time I don’t know if you get the perfect tempo with the trigger But I did see it when you use the d pad
@@crippledlegendx now thats wild i didn't think of doing that either..but the triggers are in the way doesn't feel normal. an unless im completely understanding it wrong. I rather just use the stick.
let’s talk about slow reaction times even with HOF Pogo. Or that animation that makes you jump when you put your hands up. Whatever happened to making someone fall for getter out the post
The paddle shi is cap… I have an elite controller and tested this… you can’t hold the paddles down and it’s automatic green… you have to time your shot completely the same as using right stick or x button… the only benefit you have is being able to shoot better off the dribble… in fact, I found it harder to time ur shot with the paddles especially with the input delay in online modes…
I don't get what is the problem with the first clip. U all never saw in nba people making insanely carzy contested shots in the clutch? That's how the game is making himself more realistic if u still can score those buttttt on lower presentage.
My take on the paddle shooting; 1. It can’t be nerfed or removed its a literal xbox feature to remap buttons, the only way to combat it is to remove rhythm shooting 2. Shooting is so inconsistent for the casual player that this is a way to compensate for the bad shooting and horrible matchmaking in the game 3. Guards already have a disadvantage with shooting, if you have an elite on xbox as a guard it’s a no-brainer to switch I use it because I can’t use rhythm shooting off the dribble as a guard. 2k did this to themselves i should have a pure green window with 95 3 but i don’t, so if I can get a better boost ontop of skill boosts, without technically cheating, I will.
Is it just me? But I feel like there's scripting going on with 2k right now. Somehow when my team is leading they would find a way to make you miss your shots or get them lane bump steals leading to a turnover. Somehow when were behind we get better RNG animations like lanes steal and making them contested tight contests, making the game always tight as possible. I rarely see a blown out game this year cause I feel like 2k just reward the team trailing. There was a point where it seems like its so predictable that they were gonna make the shot no matter what. Genuinely feel like 2k is becoming the next new FIFA lmao
Yup this is what nobody is talking about. Also if ur winning and have an ai on ur team the mf will brick every shot and shoot within a half second of catching a ball. Now if its on the losers team u better not let that mf open at all cus they are practically green machines. The oppenent knows it 2 and they feed the ai and comeback
I know I'm a broken record gang but using the stick to dribble, dunk, and now shoot too? insanity. imagine on cod if throwing your grenade, your flashbang, and shooting your gun was all done with RT. Make it make sense.
@@DownForceSimRacing I got a 95 layup on one of my builds he’s 6 7 and u can’t feel a difference past 75 80ish Also for more context I. Have like 4 other builds and am starter 4 so it’s not like I’m a casual

2k needs to put events back in the park and not the event center. My theory is the event center calls for additional servers, which are probably not well established. Just use the servers in the park that are “stable” and established. They probably won’t though because events may intimidate most casual players who don’t want to play “sweats”, causing the active player count to go down.
Yea, that might be the case if casuals didn’t always get sweats. If you’re a casual, the odds of you running into another casual or someone of lesser skill level feel astronomically low. I’m not the greatest player in the world but I average 16 a game in rec with almost 50% win and that’s playing with garbage randoms against the gods of the game themselves
@@kylekimball3214 do you play park ? Just asking because I was referring to park specifically and you gave your rec stats. Rec has matchmaking… park doesn’t. So my point was the influx of “sweats” to earn double rep in the park due to an event, would increase the likelihood of casuals playing tougher opponents. Potentially decreasing active players.
@19:56 i completely agree . I feel like they do this already. I played amazing 2-3 days in a row got to pro plaque . then the next two days I played MISERABLE couldn’t make any opens got matched against comp only so I went all the way back to casual plaque . 😅 to the point I didn’t even want to load up anymore lol.
I think they are trying to make u make new builds. Happened on all my builds had 2-3 really good days then a day i want to smash my head against a wall.
My group growing up was from the west coast east coast London and Japan I never would have met them if 2k didn’t match us up together, the sad part is I got used to playing with lag/delay
lol badge how you gone say you don’t know if the vid is gonna be 30 minutes or not and you drop 35. Salute to you, you the goat
Bring back pure green window, fix contest system, weird ass catch animations
Ima be honest, if the contest system goes back to how it’s been for the past 4 year I’d be very much satisfied! Ofc the major things should come first!!!
No because then somebody can run from the paint and contest ur shot even on late close outs
It’s crazy they was just complaining about missing layups when game came out and now that people got there eating and badges up we complain about making the easiest shot in pro basketball
Exactly and some ppl have no inside defense and wonder why it’s easy for them to get dunked on are lay ups on their head.

What they should do is remove rhythm shooting and just add the 70% boost to shooting in general
Game will be top 10 at number 10 if they don’t that
in that case there wouldn't be a reason to shoot with the stick... they should just remove the rhythm imo
FYI ON COMMUNITY DAY EVERYONE WHO WAS INVITED WENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND TOLD US THIS WAS THE BEST 2K EVER! WHAT A JOKE
Ikr
PLEASE BRING BACK REGULAR SHOOT AROUND FOR PRO-AM
32:11 my boy you so right man this game will make you crash out if you take it seriously
Imo they should heighten the attribute requirement for interceptor. For example you get bronze interceptor at 80 instead of 60 steal
Dam I’m in Memphis for now. I’m guessing you’re in Nashville lol
In other games with matchmaking, you can easily set a cap on how high of a ping you are willing to accept. So if it's late at night and you'd rather play foreigners than wait, it's your call. But in 2K, they don't even let us see our ping to the server! So they can't even give us such a setting.
And this is not an accident. If we see our ping, we will finally have hard evidence of how garbage their servers are
I’m loving the shooting this year, I feel it’s 10 times easier than last years shooting was
Since last year, been making my builds with 80 3 ball and high mid range, and the shooting badges from the mid range pretty much raise the 3 ball tremendously..
If they patch shooting, i will never forgive 2k
Get ready
@@scooterkelly12if they make shooting worst than it is.. I might stop playing the game in general or run a slasher.

it’s the music lmao
How much does your controller weigh badge? Weird question but yeah I’d love to know
Mans said water plug 😂 btw, you got viewers in Chattanooga here! Heard you say you were in TN!
When it comes to SBMM I hate the fact that they changed it. I play random rec exclusively and at first I was able to consistently get good teammates around my skill level but after they did whatever kind of tweak they did now I get matched up with NPCs with no ripples in their brains. I even went out of my way to go make a center so that I could have more control over my fate (I was playing the 2 on my first build), and it’s worked to a varying degree but my Win% took a huge hit. Now I want to play Park 2s with a guard around my skill level but find it hard to find a decent guard nowadays.
another big big issue with the event is that it was completely unwinnable for people in non 3 stacks, we only lost our first game then won 7 in a row without going above a 2 win streak cause of randoms leaving the squad or getting booted
The proving grounds logo not coming up can actually be fixed by going into proving grounds record in the menus on whatever game mode you play on and it’ll come up next to your name
If 2k don’t bring back the button shooting next update then I’m done with 2k never playing again.
FYI Most 3s Without a Miss is players you would not expect
They need to change the lock on system there is on defense, when I’m holding LT I don’t want to be locking on to the big man while the guard runs to the corner
Bro. My biggest issue is the lag and connection issues. 2k25 still dealing with this is outrageous.
15:24 how tf did he get that board
People find a glitch and RUN IT TO THE GROUND, and then get mad at 2k when they get to patching EVERYTHING. People are so bad at games to the point they LITERALLY find glitches to exploit the game so they can benefit from it
Glitches and exploits are two different things my guy and the paddles not a glitch at most it’s a exploit
@@moreplugsbro he’s referring to the post fade that is unguardable, which is a glitch, which people are exploiting that glitch.
also, the paddle. also a glitch, they aren’t intended for that, and obviously 2k didn’t consider them.. so again, a glitch. that people are exploiting because they suck
@@vincetomsagain those are exploits not glitches, shooting a post fade isn’t a glitch it’s just broken lmaoo
Every game is like that tho, think gta online money glitches/hacks, aimbotting on cod, etc.
@@vincetomspost fades been a thing for how long lmao not a glitch it's a exploit
The thing is I get 2k don’t want us spamming the same shot over and over so it makes us miss a few but come on now 1/7 wit a high 3 is sickening
Thanks for the video lmao, I just turned off crossplay until a patch comes 🤷🏿♂️
I haven’t seen anyone hoop on a “casual court”. Since day 1
As a person that shot 70 percent from 3 last year this shooting system this year is awful people making homemade zens there is hardly a contest system there is no consistency
98 mid for legend shooting badges vs 99 3 for legend badges is what it really comes down to
i’m so glad people are talking about passing being horrible lmao i’m sick of no matter what my pass acc being my NBA PLAYER constantly throws passes straight into the defenders bodies, like only chest and one handed passes no different animations or different angles and it’s annoying
Just lost to a post scorer last night because I missed a wide open layup when he jumped out of bounds 3:59 while having real player on 😅
i'm preety sure the vision que has a pure green window... its just delayed sometimes... but if i let it go right it goes in... can 2k labs test that some how? 🤔
It’s just funny the same people that this layups are to easy but shooting is to hard. At this point I think players just want to buff what they like to do and nerf what they don’t. Just like with the post scoring.
For stance on sbmm is that it should be in modes that require you to search for teammates and an opponent ie. theatre, rec, proving grounds. Park should not be skill based matchmaking.
Who’s else is in a shooting slump right now in this game
I dont understand why they brought real player % back. They saw how crazy it was on 22
Crazy how water plug is about to hit 1 mil
It irritates me that I love a lot of the non gameplay changes they made this year (how quickly you get gym rat, the way rebirth is this year, all the info you get about animations and takeovers INSIDE the builder, etc) but I really dislike A TON of gameplay changes this year. I want last year's gameplay with this year's quality of life improvements.
In terms of shooting and green window. I wonder if anyone in 2k had a thought that "maybe, we should just set base green window millisecond value and correlate it with 3pt rating. Let's say that base value is 20 ms of gw with 100 3pt rating, 80 3pt rating woud be 16ms, 50 3pt rating would be 10 ms. Pure green window is set as 20-25% of center of gw. Let's just set it for all releases, to not force players to use just 10 out of 5000 combinations. Also let's say that base of jumpshot doesn't correlate with green window size, it would just affect speed, height and contest values (imho stability is pure BS). So everyone could use realeases that give them best visual cue, with base that grants speed wanted by them and height/def immunity (that will reduce contest in some %) that is acceptable. So on paper your shooting ability would be determined only by your 3pt rating, ability to match visual cue and choice that player made with base, whether he wanted fast base with less visual cue but more contest reduction or something slower and more obvious to eye but with less contest reduction". I don't feel that it works like that at all rn
I don’t understand how real player % is working online when they stated real player % will only work in my career lol
Here’s the thing…I don’t mind being matched up “against” great players…but how come 2k doesn’t group me with good teammates!?
Honestly 72 interior defense is low if your pf or center
I can’t agree more with the algorithm thing you said about your opponent
At the end of the day I don’t even take this game seriously anymore. I get on I play and get off! Too much going on outside of 2K to be worried.
The shooting this year is too inconsistent it’s almost unplayable at this point
Rec is nice having random teammates that are decent at the game last year was terrible matching up teams
If the actually fixed the shot contest system there would be no need for Mike wang to play god with shot percentages
It’s the trigger words for me “glitch” and “exploit”.. got ppl thinking pad shooting is godly.. still haven’t seen anybody use it outside of my court and it be game changing. Tag me if you know someone that streams and is lights out with it
The biggest thing for me with the button mapping is that it gives you an excellent tempo every single time and the only thing you have the time is the
Jumpshot release que because shooting with the paddles or the D pad, gives you an excellent tempo every single time and that is the unfair advantage
going to see if u are correct
@@KyKane I seen it from somebody else’s video and they were using the d pad to shoot with perfect tempo every time I don’t know if you get the perfect tempo with the trigger But I did see it when you use the d pad
@@crippledlegendx now thats wild i didn't think of doing that either..but the triggers are in the way doesn't feel normal. an unless im completely understanding it wrong. I rather just use the stick.
As someone who tried the paddles this is wrong. I got fast tempo and slow tempo shots still using it.
@@stewarttaylor9756 me 2 and ive tried 10 diff custom shots
I play PC. So its the first year of NextGen for me. I have played every 2k. This is the best ever.
That’s why I use normal risk when they patch that for lay ups

Or that animation that makes you jump when you put your hands up.
Whatever happened to making someone fall for getter out the post
my fellow tennessean 🫡. im from nashville. good video brodie
Midrange was like this last year
And this is why i dropped the game and been enjoying other titles. People are about to need new builds. Good luck
The paddle shi is cap… I have an elite controller and tested this… you can’t hold the paddles down and it’s automatic green… you have to time your shot completely the same as using right stick or x button… the only benefit you have is being able to shoot better off the dribble… in fact, I found it harder to time ur shot with the paddles especially with the input delay in online modes…
I think the 2k app should allow us to spend the wheel honestly
I stopped “taking 2k serious” after 2k20. Once you face real life problems 2k is nothing but a break from reality lol
I don't get what is the problem with the first clip. U all never saw in nba people making insanely carzy contested shots in the clutch? That's how the game is making himself more realistic if u still can score those buttttt on lower presentage.
The controller mapping is not a glitch or exploit, it’s just another way of doing the same thing
So they force us to use rhythm shooting and now that we figured it out they nerf it wtf, shooting with x is gonna make you shooting like 30 percent
I have 90 3pt and shoot around 60% using button. Can't shoot with rhythm tho, tempo is always too fast or too slow.
Build a slasher problem solved
I became a slasher with just doable shooting so when I miss I’m less frustrated and my finishing is way more consistent
yea, fuck playing guard, I'm making a shaq build, i played guard for years, but center time, now 😂
My take on the paddle shooting;
1. It can’t be nerfed or removed its a literal xbox feature to remap buttons, the only way to combat it is to remove rhythm shooting
2. Shooting is so inconsistent for the casual player that this is a way to compensate for the bad shooting and horrible matchmaking in the game
3. Guards already have a disadvantage with shooting, if you have an elite on xbox as a guard it’s a no-brainer to switch
I use it because I can’t use rhythm shooting off the dribble as a guard. 2k did this to themselves i should have a pure green window with 95 3 but i don’t, so if I can get a better boost ontop of skill boosts, without technically cheating, I will.
Is it just me? But I feel like there's scripting going on with 2k right now. Somehow when my team is leading they would find a way to make you miss your shots or get them lane bump steals leading to a turnover. Somehow when were behind we get better RNG animations like lanes steal and making them contested tight contests, making the game always tight as possible. I rarely see a blown out game this year cause I feel like 2k just reward the team trailing. There was a point where it seems like its so predictable that they were gonna make the shot no matter what. Genuinely feel like 2k is becoming the next new FIFA lmao
Yup this is what nobody is talking about. Also if ur winning and have an ai on ur team the mf will brick every shot and shoot within a half second of catching a ball. Now if its on the losers team u better not let that mf open at all cus they are practically green machines. The oppenent knows it 2 and they feed the ai and comeback
Does anyone else get choppy gameplay after 45-1hr in the park?
I know I'm a broken record gang but using the stick to dribble, dunk, and now shoot too? insanity. imagine on cod if throwing your grenade, your flashbang, and shooting your gun was all done with RT.
Make it make sense.
It’s funny because it feels like players with less layup hit more layups then the people with it high
Nah cus i aint upgraded my layup on my new build its like 50-60 and i miss some of the stupidest shit
@@DownForceSimRacing I got a 95 layup on one of my builds he’s 6 7 and u can’t feel a difference past 75 80ish
Also for more context I. Have like 4 other builds and am starter 4 so it’s not like I’m a casual
Bro it's crazy how I have a 90+ block and 90+ interior and still get open layups on me ..
