2k22 was a w at first because the devs actually cared about a game for once but then they fell off because they stop caring or working hard to keep the game consistent and not complicated with bugs,glitches,people not getting on spots etc and also they lack of communication with the community is just awful that’s why they never had a game that had actual cooperative work with most people or brands but still people still buy the same game every year for more bugs and glitches it’ll never stop.
This game has been shit since literally day 1 nothing ha changed. The only thing that changed was this weird toxic ass community abusing a meta then bitching when that meta gets patched like the weirdos y'all are.
it's not even worth talking about how to make the game better and criticizing when it's obvious the Devs stopped caring after 2K17. Regardless of community feedback.
The 2K community always complain about the same thing every year they praise it at the start of the year and then they start complaining as bout. It. Endless circle
Kudos on the continuing development of your content. I’ve not watched all your content but this looks to be a style evolution and it is done well. The sip from the Coke was a great shot and the movement is authentic in most of the shots. Looking forward to more of this style.
Davisss’s take on the city was so underrated 😂😂 I literally didn’t buy next gen because the city reminded me of 2k21 😭😭😭 and I thought I was the only one
Also Davis said he wants a game he can exploit rather than be good at. His opinion on 3k is kinda irrelevant if he just wants a glitches game he can exploit
My issue is that 2k seems to be stuck between a simulation game and an arcade game. They need to incorporate each of those things into its own mode instead of trying to mix it all together. The park for example should resemble the NBA street games more when it comes to wackiness and gameplay. Leave the simulation to people who enjoy MyLeague, MyCareer NBA games, Play now, ProAM,etc. When coming to the park it should be less competitive and more laid back. HATE having to deal with someone checking their phone everytime I’m on a spot just to see if I’m worth playing with or not. Just play the damn game and have fun. I’m a casual player and don’t enjoy playing with tryhards all the time.
2k needs to make dribbling good and fun again. Every 2k that is considered “good” like 16, 17, 19 had great dribbling at its core. Now dribbling is just people going left and right or running straight at the rim, no variety of usable moves. The game becomes repetitive when every game you play is against people going left right behind screens.
And it’s sad because this was literally mentioned 0 times in this video. They don’t even know the real reason why this shit trash now. They started to piss me off with “rewards” “park too big” like stfu we know those are issues but I’ll forget all about if they just fix the fucking dribbling system. It’s like 2k has been targeting dribbling for the past 3 years now ever since 19 and the issues still hasn’t been fixed. Dribbling let’s people get creative, creative = the game not being repetitive.
The problem is the fact that their is spam dribbles in the game, trust me 2k22 has almost all the dribbles 17 had (which are now slowed down of course) but in 17, they didn't have these spam dribbles and dribbling was much more methotical.
The reason I quit the game after the years is the community. So many selfish players. So many jerks. So many people making it impossible to get park games. I’ve played games my whole life and 2k by far has the worst community.
The game went downhill when they realized they could commercialize it to the masses. People spending millions of dollars for digital outfits blew their mind, once they realized that, it was a whole new ballgame. They took that and ran with it, partnering with ALL of these gigantic global companies now. From a business stand point, genius. They're already established with no competition, they have nothing to lose. 2K had its run, it's only going to get worse and worse as long as you guys support it. As long as you buy it every year and dump money into the same digital shoes year after year so you can impress little dillon, theyll keep focusing on that...and not the actual important aspects.
First off, I hate how content creators that literally have 25 hours of the day to play 2k complain about how easy it is to get to Legend this year. Like bro, it's your job to play this game... not everyone has the same time as you to get to max level. This is probably the first 2k I'm gonna get to legend because I can pace myself and not get burnt out after getting to superstar where the meter barely moves. I agree about rewards, but this is the first year this is happening. Second, yes this game still needs a lot of work but yall really act like your playstyles are perfectly balanced. Not everyone has a full team to play with every game. Not everyone has a lockdown with HOF Every Badge to play against a spammy pg. Everyone wanna complain about speed boosting getting nerfed, how about you have the same energy about defenders being buffed. You stack 4-5 dribble badges and 7 shooting badges and say that the game is easy, then talk hella trash after you green a shot off a screen with a defender that can't activate 2 badges at the same time. Then you get mad when they go for a steal when you're spamming moves and get caught with a foul because you got HOF Unpluckable. We all know 2k is laggy as hell and you have to be part psychic to play decent defense. Oh, and we not even gonna talk about dribbling. Most of yall out here double dribbling, doing behind the back moves going backwards. Last, about new content creators... everybody plays this game the exact same at the higher levels. Wanna run 2s? Spammy dribbler and a rebounder are on a 20 streak. Wanna play rec? 5 out offense and zone defense. It's boring to play against and it's boring to watch. Why does every team in the 2k league play the same? It's repetitive to have every pg average 40 ppg and 3apg. And yall toxic af too. Everyone's garbage, but it's only BS when 2k does it to you? There's no accountability.
A few things for me. 1. The game has turned into watching the PG shoot 25 shots from 3 while you stand around getting minimal stats most of the time. 2. Its almost impossible to grind a player from 60 overall without buying or wasting previously earned VC, almost forcing you to buy VC with every new character 3. If I play 5 games in The Rec, 3 of those are teams with mostly bots or the other team quits 4. The officiating in The Rec is broken. Especially the out of bounds calls 5. The city, period.
Thank you bro.. especially the Guards just dribbling like crazy not and only using the others for Screens and Rebounds.. pisses me off to the max cause now I’m fighting over 2-3 screens tryna guard up and the mf already shooting his ass off… Then the virgins have the nerve to tell me to “ get better “
The reason I quit the game after the years is the community. So many selfish players. So many jerks. So many people making it impossible to get park games. I’ve played games my whole life and 2k by far has the worst community.
@@jondoe5305 That’s not true at all. People will throw it over your head. Last year I averaged 16 assists in the Rec and people still wouldn’t let me run pg even though I play it pass first. The average 2k player is extremely dumb.
Im confused. For years content creators have been saying that 2k drops the same game and they need to be ambitious and make changes but when they do we immediately say we want them to stop making changes to the good games. Those 2k17 days were filled with cheesy meta builds the same problem we say we hate today. We get to caught up in Nostalgia and wanting the game to feel the same way it felt the first time we experienced it
Facts just like at the start of the year when it felt different the community complained about defense, got it nerfed and made the game offense based like 21. All that complaining about wanting a game that feels different just to bitch about it in the first 2 weeks cause people can't adjust
People don't want a real game. They literally are giving them what they asked for and now they hate it. They want it to be an arcade nba game. Lebron don't fly through 3 people for a dunk. Curry doesn't left right behind screens, etc. They don't want a real NBA game that's the problem.
2k needs to bring back the competition between the affiliations like in 2k15-17. Also the biggest thing is to listen to the community to provide us with a game we would actually want
I like the game I feel like I bring a new mindset to the game but idk if people want to dive deep into 2k and people don’t like the realistic irl Change they are slowly trying to push .
Like minded individuals all on this video. You got a guy who “don’t play 2k since ‘20” but the city don’t “feel” like 20??? How you know? Can’t get a game???? Come on now, park always poppin. Rec pops. Pro am pops and warehouses pop. If they “played” the game, this video shouldn’t exist
Bruh that's the purpose of 2k innit? To make the game more realistic. Thats why people don't like live becuase its arcady and it realies on canned animations.
Content creators low key became less relevant in 2K this year, this is what they really sick about. As a casual I love this 2K, I have a family and a full time job and can play 2K from time to time and make great progress.
Bro what’s crazy is that 2k is divided into 4 different communities: - current gen PlayStation - Next gen playstation - current gen x box - next gen x box Joining all these communities into one will make 2k soo much better bro
@@jaymackyt2416 yes actually it will 😭🤣 cross platform gameplay would give a significant boost to 2k. everyone would be able to play with each other whether it’s xbox or playstation.
It’s funny asf how these content creators all of sudden hate the game when the devs touch something that pertains to them(speed boosting/side to side dribbling/cheese dribbling( when 2k22 first game out they were all raving about the game calling it the best 2k ever lmaooo. And now that they nerfed the cheese dribbling all of sudden there’s a downfall ALL OF A SUDDEN…🤔😭😭😭
you make a good point, i’ll admit i felt like my guard had no use in this world after they patched the left right speed glitch. But you gotta remember not every 2k content creator plays the game the way it’s “suppose” to be played. Nostalgia plays a big role in all these games and to me it feels like we aren’t appreciating what’s in front of us because we dwell in the past too much. Was it easier to grind from 60 to 85 back then? hell yea. I miss the 15-17 era, but there’s nothing we can do sadly but just move on
We need to start with GAMEPLAY issues before we address the other issues. The SKILL GAP has lessened. It is now a BUILD GAP more than anything. Before even in 2k19 you couldn’t copy Tycenos build per say and play as good as him because it was pure IQ and some what of skill to use a build. If you were a good player you were good on any build suited for your play style. Now you HAVE to make certain builds to get certain badges and it’s just all a glitchy boring cheesy MESS
That’s my biggest problem, and the community has dictated what makes players “comp” and not. The “comp” players think running left and right with a screen just to get a defender in a bad animation is what makes you “comp”. I’ve never understood how playing with the least amount of skill and cheesing is “comp” but 2k allowed it to be that way. Shit is sad.
YESSIR! We need more 2K documentaries Agent, let’s get some on the downfall of Park in NBA 2K, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, there’s so many topics you could do, I just want to see more of these videos
I don't understand how the community complains about the game being the same every year but then suggest they bring back things older 2ks. Same engine, same dribble system, same rep system, same parks. The community has been stuck in this loop for years Call the game good start of the year, content creator hits top rep in 2-3 months, call the game boring and make "2k after legend" videos, Next 2k comes out and they praise the last one that they were hating on all year it's happened with 2k17,2k18, 2k19, 2k20, 2k21, and now 2k22
It's to keep us watching tbh. They know that's how it is. I've been playing consistently since 2k15 and as you said it's the same every year. Good at first. Then someone finds glitches and cheesey builds. They lose to said cheese. Then the game trash, etc.
Also seasons aren't a bad idea, they cater to the casual side of the community so people with school or a job can still hit a decent level obviously some content creators won't like it cause their lives revolve around 2k but that's their problem, ain't no reason why I should have to play the game 24/7 to get good rewards when 2k21 came out I had 900 hours on 2k20 and only got SS1 hell nah bruh
@@Jamar742 exactly I never hit legend cause I have a life. This year I've hit 35 both seasons and I'm lvl 30 rn. I guarantee I still don't reach 40 because I'm out doing other things. I understand they job is to play the game but it's their fault majority of the players play a certain way. Especially the cheese and exploits etc.
@@Jamar742 I play 5 games after work everyday unless I don't feel like playing 2k. I play a bit of my career too if I feel like creating a story in my head lol
I don’t care about the city, the boat, the park, vc, my player/team, cards,etc. I just want to play an nba game with real and classic teams. And gameplay is AWFUL! It’s almost unplayable
2k11 is the best in the series imo. Yes the gameplay is dated now, but it was great at the time. That game was full of content and care. Details as small as old school presentations made that game feel immersive.
@@roncrudup2110 I’ve been playing since 2k3. No they aren’t all cash grabs. There are sports games that were innovative and fun. 2k12 was the first 2k to use micro transactions. If we’re being honest ALL MODERN GAMES ARE CASH GRABS.
I was ecstatic when the game first came out. I spent a hundred or so dollars on VC alone (the more VC gap needed to upgrade is also a big mistake from them this year). I really enjoyed it at launch. I hit 40 while not having to grind hours on end daily while working full time and doing college full time. The devs actually listened to player feedback and the game felt balanced. Around halfway through season 2, the game got frustrating when the defense became sluggish and most comp guards ran 5’9 guards running blinders hof. Casual players didn’t want to drop extra money to make new “iso stopper” builds just to be fucked on by taller players. Once blinders became the meta, I stopped playing. Defensive rating didn’t matter if you were taller than the shooter. I had multiple times within a week where I clamped up on defense (80 something perimeter Rating 6’7 pf playmaking post but played like a point forward) and the guard would explosive between the legs for half a second, then when my player was glued to his hip, shoot and green the shots.. clamps stopped working even though I had it on gold. It was like I couldn’t body bump the dribbler to stop their animations, which wasn’t a problem at the start. I didn’t want to make a 6” guard just to win, especially after having to make multiple builds. I wasn’t having fun no more and quit at level 37 with 3 weeks Left. I had multiple 99 builds. After a few weeks of not playing, I erased the game and have no intention of redownloading it. Just because they remove speed boosting doesn’t mean the game isn’t broken.
I'm happy to see that the UA-cam comments community is realizing that the issue with 2K is the UA-cam content creators. The game will never be good enough because you have people playing it for 10 hours a day, no life-ing the game then asking for more. Same thing happens on Apex. The problem with 2K every year is that it's a basketball game.
@@dtp_drip2659 I mean, think about it - gaming is a business, right. And people bandwagon opinions all the time. Again, I'm not defending shoddy games, right.... Like something that's fundamentally flawed. But the difference between the games people claim were fun back in the day and today is the fact that there's a person who benefits from you watching them complain about something you either are frustrated with or didn't even realize was an issue until they told it it should be. And then they harp on it and harp on it for views. That's why people keep saying the 2K from X years ago is now better. Because NOW they're no longer bashing it. So now you love it again. The LESS you watch UA-cam, the MORE you'll love a game. Trust.
The real problem is the gameplay itself is goofy and frustrating... Turnovers everwhere, bad passes hitting backboards, flying out out bounds, missed open lobs, bad releases going in, backcourt violations too easily, stepping out of bounds, Refs calling incorrect calls on fouls and out of bounds because of the challenge call system, reach in fouls stopping gameplay constantly, bad animations fumbling the ball and just looking goofy all over the place. The game is frustrating and annoying to play and there is nothing new to do or hardly new builds or ideas...
I’m glad you said it the turnover issue is so irritating and they made the defence of mycareer and on my team impossible to score against unless you literally sweat the game n try master it they’ve made pro difficulty on both game modes like your playing hall of fame I loved 2k20 and 2k21 actual gameplay after a week or so of getting used to the game I literally don’t even know why I play this one it’s frustrating as f**k
@@thrillwill5 I get his point, I started playing 2k since 2k19 and I’ve been fine grinding badges and etc but when I reached mycareer for 2K22 for pro difficulty everything was a lot harder then you’d expect, especially since the game has like 4 difficulty’s, the ai’s are way more alert and will clamp you until another ai pluck you or block you, not very easy for someone who doesn’t spend money on vc or have any badges, and park definitely isn’t going to be fun without any of that 😂
It’s crazy to me that the content creators are upset that you can get to level 40 in 2 days (which is insane btw) and I’ve given up on the game cause it’s too hard to get to level 40. I have a job and a social life. The closest I came was level 36 and even then I felt like I spent too much time playing 2K.
Notice how only content creators who get paid to do this by the way have that issue? Not everyone spends 48 hours to max out a game. I literally just play 2k because I like basketball the other shit comes with it 😭
They need to take it back to 3 parks, 3 different rivals, rival events, good rewards for grinding and reaching the top (2k17 or 16 rep system works), I'm ok with the seasons to keep the game fresh ( just make good rewards), keep mayor's, and add more stuff to the game. With all that, that should make the game fun to hop on, now they just need good game play to back it up. My tips would be a faster pace game. Or just turn on 17 servers for us, since that's when I started
Agent I like the aesthetic feel of the backgrounds when your outside… it really makes the video appealing to eyes and makes me want to keep watching. Keep up videos like these we love them!🤟🆙
What made me leave the shot meter is frustrating I don't understand the need to change it literally every year. And it's just too hard to shoot in general in my opinion
I see that content creators have the same problems that are almost exclusive to them. The average player just wants smooth gameplay, with realistic animations and fun rewards. The city is a great contribution to the game, it’s just too big honestly. You should be able to fast travel from affiliation to affiliation while still having quests
Yall did a lot of talking to dance around real issues. Examples: 1- the fact that you can have a 92 speed and acceleration and still get ran down by people with 50 speed. 2- the fact that every single build can get contact dunks, dribble, defense and still shoot and make 3s consistently. 3- the game comes out incomplete every single year. And it comes out with all these glitches and it takes FOREVER to patch cheese. 4- the intelligence of the AI in multiplayer modes is beyond pathetic. Sharpshooting AIs will have a widddeeeee open jumper and either wait till a defender comes or will try to go up on a big in the paint. 5- the facts that people can still set 600 screens in 24 seconds has not been fixed. 6- the passing is GOD awful and the steals are OP.
They need to simplify the game, stop mistreating the community that speaks up, make next gen and current gen the same game, (like Callof duty ) But with better graphics for next gen/a little more incentives.
@@PriestDaSensei 2k don’t even gain anything from people buying next gen consoles, that’s Sony and Microsoft. They making more money from 2 games cause some sweats hitting lvl 40 on both🤦♂️
Problems with 2K22 : 1. Shooting is too easy, park or rec almost every posession is a 3PT attempt 2. We need matchmaking on current gen outside of the rec and pro am, sometimes it takes forever to find games in park, also because people are overly catious about win and 3pt % 3. VC cost for builds is wayyy too high, people would play more if they could max out their builds faster and move on to the next one 4. I dont know why we dont keep events as an extra game mode you can choose from and everytime a new event releases its being added to the game mode playlist 5. There should be a bigger penalty for ball hogging or for example you play 3s in park and your team mates only pass to each other without you getting even 1 chance, there should be a penalty for that kinda behavior 6. there should be a 1v1 court on current gen outside of the stage
First off, keeping old 2k servers will more likely be beneficial profit wise, so I don’t think they should be shut down. 2k should do some more research from the community from past 2k (like off of past UA-cam videos) and they should ask the community today too about there favorite features in 2k (Twitter not only Reddit) and they should implement them into the game. Build off their best ideas instead of starting from scratch every single year. Also, they should have a dev team specifically for update and patches throughout the year and not quitting on 2k. The other dev team should be developing the next 2k
They probably would raise the price, but it really should be that if they actually put in more effort doesn’t mean they should raise the price… I agree with you they probably would raise the price
They keep old servers up all the time nobody would be on the latest 2k but to compromise for this I agree they should bring old servers up but only during the downtime of the current 2k
For me, it's the community that has a problem. Not the game. I almost always encounter toxic players when I play. The game is fun, the community (most of them) aren't.
It's crazy cause I'm only 21 and have no idea who ANY of these current 2K content creators are (with the exception of IKC and Agent) but most of them enable the community to play the same exact way. I may be young but I'm old enough to remember how good 2K was from 2K10-2K18 and how builds were way more unique back then. Imagine taking a break from 2K for a couple years and coming back to everyone having playshots, Curry sliding, and speedboosting.
The 2k16-17 nostalgia bias is HUGE. Yes they were good games, definitely top 3-4 of all 2Ks but people are treating a game they haven’t played in 3-4 years as something almost godlike, and perception of the games are definitely altered by all of the great memories from those games and how disappointing the games are now
@@ALPHA_GABE5 people didn’t like 17 compared to 16 that’s why. 16 was better than 17. But as the years went on we realized 17 was good and all these other 2ks were trash.
What they need to honestly do is start letting the OGs of this community influence future games and not 10 years from now like yesterday. They continue to make games on their own without our help. The sooner they do this the more happier we are, the more money they make off our happiness with the game that WE helped make.
Why does everyone forget when 2k17 was out everyone complained that we had the same parks every year, they wanted new parks, new affiliations, and a new to play the game. They give us all of that and then they want it all back? This community can't be pleased. Instead of worrying about rewards why can't everyone worry about proving that have the best basketball iq in the world by beating the best comp players. That's real content and that's what we want to see.
2k17 was TRASH! When I say old 2ks I’m talkin bout 15 and 16. People jus bring up 17 cus it was the last park that had the old park feel that everyone loves
I feel like the reason 2k is still doing well is because everyone in the community has been like “maybe next it will be better”, “next year they’ll do it right” but nothing changes. When fortnite came out we saw a clear example of how competition is good for the game cuz 2k19 was pretty good. Since then, 2k has no reason to make the game better if people still gonna buy it regardless
Nah. It’s cause it’s the only realistic NBA game we got. Live isn’t realistic and can’t compete with 2k. Even though 2k is ass. We play it cause we like basketball.
It’s a basketball game when you love basketball and this is the only game ofc your going to buy it. Nba live is bad and there is no other basketball game
Missed one of the biggest problems regardless of generation: It’s hard to tailor to both people who play only park and people who only play PlayNow and MyTeam. A patch can make one mode better, while making the other worse.
I’m glad someone said this. On 21 next gen people complained that their players moved too slow in mycareer/park, so they increased player movement speed. The park guys were happy but this hurt myteam a ton since everyone could just use 7 footers with 99 speed and zoom all over the court, so it was almost impossible to play defense
@@kordellricesnax nah it’s not a terrible concept. It’s fun, but last year was bad at times because of a huge gameplay flaw that park players begged for. Yeah they release unrealistic cards but there are plenty of cheap cards that are easy to get that can compete with the top guys
@@bradywright0408 i couldnt disagree more i played myteam in 2k20 and unless you pour money into it you struggle constantly. Also it takes away from 2k having an actual motive to make a better game because we accept money grab game modes as content. We 70 for the game 70 for every build or 40 for every new pack that drops. Micro transactions kill the motive for better gameplay and MyTeam is a huge part of the problem.
2k downfall started when Chris Smoove stopped uploading 2k content consistently. The game got so bad he just decided to upload actual NBA highlights. We're seeing the switch now even with you. No more content about 2k games, just thoughts & opinions. The game is BAD.
I personally got burnt out from 2k22 bc I couldn’t get on every single day and accomplish what I wanted due to school, sports, etc. If I can’t keep up with the sweats who have that time then I stand no chance when I don’t have friends who can get on the game. I play on next gen btw
Here some ideas -Cross Platform -Make the Mycourt more relevant and make it a walk around lobby for friends to start up games or chill and make it have a skate park and all that good stuff -Make all the other shops accessible from the nav -Create match making for games and a keep playing option. (Basically the apex matchmaking system) if you want to be match up to play more if not return to the my court lobby -Create a walk on ranked rec walk on for Christ sake so the people who play alone don’t have to match up with under skilled players
The harsh honestly is the 2k devs could care less ab anything, they’re still getting money regardless, so everything from cross play to vc bullshit to myteam bullshit to bad reward system to MyLeague not being supported to the city being ass to just everything they’re still getting their money at the end of the day so they could honestly care less and we still continue to buy the games every year and continue to buy vc, this imo is the same bs that cod goes through where it’s always “if it was as good as mw2 or black ops 2 it’d be good again” but people still continue to play the game and buy the game so at the end of the day the real solution is for everyone to just stop playing the shit if it’s bad
2k is dying because of content creators. I’ve said this for years. Think about it. Nobody was posting 2k21 and 2k22 at launch was the beat it’s been since like 19. Then as soon as the CC’s started playing it and complaining like always 2k catered it toward them. They cried about defense being too cheese even tho everyone shoots 60+%. Then they nerfed defense now they complained that offense is too easy and all stopped playing the game lol. One of the main complaints last year was at January they had no reason to play. They fix that with seasons now they crying about animations??? Once 2k realizes that UA-camrs are the vast minority of the player base they’ll make a good game again.
I think 2k’s problem is that they listen to the community too much. Everybody hated the neighborhood in 2k19 & 2k20 so we got the city 🤦🏾♂️ 2k22 was different at launch but most content creators and small guard mains in the community cried n for defense nerfed. They patch speed boosting y’all cry n they got on it asap to give y’all a slightly nerfed version of it. Y’all hated the archetype system n wanted superstars n in 21 we had the 6’7 scoring machine who can do everything and pretty much became the only build u seen 🤷🏾♂️
Another thing is i dont think people get that they are getting tired of the way they play trying to use cheese moves over and over and over and then blame 2k for not making things more fun.
@@chrisvaccaro9062 thats fact, for me what get boring is how these ppl that play iso only and have they teammates sit in a damn corner like son move the ball around play more like irl Not some corner bs, niggas be yelling like why the fuk u leavin the corner like bruuuhhhhhh
@@Wavy809x ong. They need to nerf the meta, instead of things that are considered “strong”. I don’t play park much but every time I did, I always went up against that one guard who would just cross over back and forth while running atop the key, until they slightly lose their man and then pull up wit the same lefty jump shot as about 5,000 other players. If 2k want a game wit longevity, they needa either nerf the things that everybody is using (the meta), or make more things stronger
@@Wavy809x for real ive had dudes getting locked up and refusing to pass so much that my guy would go over and double him and id go towards paints and when shot clock runs out hes spamming chats and messages telling me to get out of paint. Like i know how yo stay out of the way for iso but if you have the pass and your locked up make the damn pass
I love how no one ever talks about how when they added the ability to see your win %, everyone started ducking games. Before that people would play anyone.
Honestly if 2k could just open old 2k servers to give us something to play while they work on 2k23 without having to keep updating the current version of 2k so much, and bring back some of the old rewards and brings back some of the old game mechanics. Like the defense in 20, just not as o.p., the dribbling from 17, the build system they have now, and bring back a skills game to all parts of the game. Meaning shooting takes skill and you actually need to time your jumper, defensive builds a can actually play defense, playmakers can do the moves they want too and not get an animations that get them ripped by 2k not being responsive. Not to mention toning down slashing, ik some of yall are not gunna agree, but over the years slashing has become a problem. Now as a community we not asking for much. At this point we just want a solid game we can play and have fun. Idk about you guys, but I'm tired of how I get let down year after year with 2k. Everyone remember when u first started playing 2k? Your first build that feeling when u greened your first 3, got that ankle breaker you've always wanted to get, made an amazing play, or even violated that guys clip with a block/snatch block. I want that old feeling of 2k back. Everyone who disagrees with that is lying. Because at the end of the day it's a video game and just trying to have fun. Stay safe yall✌&❤
Sports games as a whole are archaic with the annual releases. Making one actual game every few years and keeping a subscription plan while they update and polish would give them time to make a whole new experience in the next game
My cousin who has absolutely no clue how to play 2k was some how able to get to lvl 40 within 3 days there’s no skill and people get tired of the fact that we can’t get into games on park . I only played 2k22 for one season this year, let’s return to 2k16,17 I’d be on those games 24/7.
I think it’s just the annual releases. It’s easily the root of the problem whether it’s gameplay, performance issue, or design they all change year to year. Nowadays the most popular games are the free ones so for next gen to pay an $10 now hurts them even more. I just can’t see 2K make a comeback.
Bring back the dunk contest, add a 3pt contest, Make different locations for blacktop,create a legend, I get these are offline modes but I think we all know 2k focuses way too damn much on the online modes, we could make some online modes too
Bruh the problem with 2k is they get too many opinions, content creators sway the community into a pack like mentality and we end up asking for the dumbest shit I.e affiliations. We get it back and it serves no purpose and all of Davis's ideas are a good example why 2k shouldn't listen to any of us smh
Affiliations are a great idea just 2k utilized them poorly 2k16 for example had 3 amazing park small and simple with amazing gameplay but 2k22 brings in city which is huge with buggy gameplay and 4 affiliations with content creators being mayor who have almost no power and the game being like a rpg. These new moves are trash no snatch backs stretches again shoot over everything with defense being awful so they just patch left right embarassing how bad this game is.
My problem is everyone has the same type of build a 2 way something. They’ll have like a 95 three, 95 mid, 90 free throw, a 99 perimeter defense and steal and it’s so annoying especially in the REC.
You can’t please everybody 2k. I personally feel like they need to continue to make this game more casual cuz everybody ain’t got time to grind all year, not hit legend and then be at a disadvantage
There is a skill gap if u really pay attention but everybody wanna copy each other builds instead of making ur build the way you wanna make him the old 2ks like 15 16 nobody was doing that
That's my biggest issue. Its annoying you load up a new 2k and see every content creator teaching people. " demi God build. " never miss green release jumpshots. Now 100k+ per video are playing just like you now. Then us casuals see it as a problem. 2k nerfs it. Content creators complain when they exposed it themselves. 😐
This Game is the biggest trash.yeah looks good, dunks good and Animations.But you have no fun. Different meters on every shot, shooting is trash, you cant hit contested shots its every time a brick, you cant hit lay ups with contact,you hit only shots when youre wide open, and this works only with Pick roll, but not well because the defense is like glue on you every time. Every Defender is like khawi You have no differents between Bad Defenders and elite Defenders. They want make the Game so realistic, but the Gameplay is totally broken. I want to Hit shots and have fun, not sweat my Ass up for a bucket.
How tf can they say they can’t play 22 because it feels too much like 21, but yet they played 19 and 20 which was literally the same exact game wtff lmaooo
I still play from time to time, no where near as long as I used to when it first dropped of course. I like the idea of seasons, but I don’t believe it should be what determines who hits legend and who doesn’t. I believe the seasons rewards should be achievable through mycareer, Rec, Park, etc. However, I believe the rep system should return so the park players have a reason to play. I miss the hype of seeing who’s going to win that Legend race. Shooting definitely needs work. I believe 17 had the best shooting system. I remember that I would practice my jumpshot and I would be rewarded for it in park and pro am because I took the time to learn my jumper. Essentially shooting shouldn’t be something that takes hours to learn, however I believe that if you don’t green, it shouldn’t go in, or least lower the chances of it going in. So make it a bit easier green, but it’s not green, it’s not dropping. The rec and pro am needs some work for sure. Rec needs a random matchmaking to avoid the try hards and pro am needs a better ranked system. My boys and I have been playing pro am for several years now, we’re not the best, but we’re confident in our abilities. However, we shouldn’t have to play 2kleague players within our first 5 games of making a team. There’s a bunch more of small tweaks they could make, but those are just a few that I believe could make a big difference.
(Coming from someone that have played 2k since 2k12) I think the solution could be quite easy. They need to open older servers up. What separates 2k from the developers of Call of Duty and Need for Speed, is that they keep their older games servers up so that you can play whichever game you feel. Most of my problem with 2k for me comes from how the game feels. I remember buying NBA Live 19 and the game felt amazing compared to 2k. Even the ankle breaker system they had was actually nice. The only problem was that they didn't have as good animations as 2k had. If 2k was more responsive and consistent, the game would be much more enjoyable Also they really need to take away the city. Once I seen the simplicity of 2k16, it's hard to turn away from it. This will also help them make more beautiful parks without focusing on making a huge map. Just because it is more expansive doesn't mean that it is needed or wanted
@@Ehmilio well they need to make better games then. Call of Duty releases new games every year and they are still being sold like crazy even with the old servers being up. Not as much in recent years because of franchise fatigue. But it just proves 2k games are digressing in quality if so many ppl still want 2k16 back and 2k knows it. And the communities splitting wouldn't be a bad idea. The game isn't fun, it is frustrating. If i could go back to where I was having fun in 2k, I would.
@@weseejuju-h1v 2k22 isn’t bad after all the patches. Season 3 is the best season yet gameplay wise. People just want to cheese and not play basketball
Agent... I gotta be honest. I've been playing 2k since 2k8. And I gotta say I don't feel yall on the disdain of this game. There a few points I agree with, like the rep system, the city not being fully immersive, or how expensive every thing cost to upgrade. But gameplay wise, this is most fun 2k in a long time. I don't wanna ramble but if someone wants me to elaborate I will. This 2K is pretty god tier
I totally agree with you I think the problem for most people everyone grew up and when you were high school you look forward to play after school with friends online and have good time in the chat but now most people got a job,bills and other shit to worry about so it won’t hit the same like in high school you want the game to bring back same feelings but it not going happen again tho
It’s actually fun on current gen these guys are pushing their narrative so us guys who play current can give them more games therefore more content. The game doesn’t revolve around content creators. It revolves around the people.
Yea this year it’s fun to play 2k again. I played current gen up until Christmas and now I’m on next gen. Now I do agree with him with us should be able to travel fast from one point to another. The city is crazy big but it’s not a deal breaker.
The only thing that makes me mad the most is the people that complain and complain about the game being bad, and then next game comes out and they spend 100s of dollars on it… What the fuck do you think it’s gonna happen? If you give them the thing they want the most they’re not going to change they’re going to do the exact fucking same thing, every time someone spends 100 dollars in this franchise I lose one of my braincells. Which speaks to how many people do that shit.
As a new player (and old man compared to most of you 😅) I’m in a wierd place because the game is fun to play for me, but everything around it makes it a very frustrating experience. I stopped MyPlayer and switched to MyTeam after season 1 just to play something different. But there are very similar issues in both games and the reliance on VC in the whole game is just 🤯 I could go on and on but I’ll just say there are far too many quality of life issues in 2k that stop me from playing the game enough to actually want to get better.
i bought 2k22 played it for one week and havent touched it since. makes me sad bc the skill gap is so bad that you cannot really stand out from others rip ronnie
Honestly you got to break the cycle on 2K stop buying it they're never going to change they'll keep beating you into buying the next game you're going to go through the same crap again and again
This was a W video, now let’s hope someone from 2k sees this and actually listen if not then this game is actually done for(this is comeing from someone who has played 2k since 2k9🤷🏿)
Ik I’m part of the minority saying this, but with crossplay as a big piece that the community wants, I’d love for there to be crossplay with PC as well. I came from console to PC gaming and 2k literally shows no love to us. No anti-cheat and the fact that my favorite streamers and youtubers that play 2k are on a different platform, it seems even more divided Edit: I also really wish we never went in the direction of neighborhood to then city. Idk about anyone else but I loved the park idea with rivet, sunset, and oldtown. Especially when the event day came and you tried hard to rack up wins for your affiliate to get those boosts. Its sad to say I’m not too optimistic on the future of any of these changes though since 2k has let us down time and time again
I don't play 2K online and I understand that the majority of what they're talking about in this video but if there's one thing I really wish they would not have completely screwed up in 2K22 was the reduction in foul calls when you play games in MyNBA. Again I know that this video isn't geared towards the solo player community but that's just my 2 cents.
If anything, I feel like when they introduced archetypes in 2k17, was when they started to kinda go downhill. I can honestly say that in terms of MyCareer, that was by far the only time in 2k that I played more MyTeam than MyCareer. However, I think that was the start of the downfall of 2k's reputation. I think it started with 2k17 because the archetypes led onto dual archetypes in 2k18 and thus led onto more problrms involving the gameplay with the other 2ks in the future. I agree with the fact that we should go back to the 2k16 engine, as for how other stuff is concerned, I think that should be left to what the community would suggest. Only things I can say is to make matchmaking better for Rec and to base it on position and height. There should be no reason why the matchmaking has to make it where there are two centers playing together at the same time, especially when both are non-shooting bigs.Another thing is that I feel like bringing AIs again was good in terms of getting games started. At the same time, I feel like it gives teams an unfair advantage if they have a whole team of players versus a team with two or more AIs. Besides that, I think if they were to bring back some stuff instead of taking it away and bringing it back in a later 2k as a new feature, I think 2k wouldn't be in the situation that they are in now. I also think when making builds, it would help to have everything available instead of leaving stuff out to simplify it, like lateral quickness being involved with perimeter defense for example. I feel like by having everything already there we can make builds way more unique than what we usually see based on what we can edit for them. That's about all I have to say about it. May everyone have a goodnight and be safe.
My opinion to NBA 2K is there's no fair ground to what we tell the developers, ronnie, mike, what needs to be changed fixed buff or nerf we all can't come to a equal agreement except saying"this game ass" everytime we lose or fuck up in a dumb way. Plus i don't like how every season 2k implements myteam cards or packs into the rewards idk whoever reads this let me know your opinion.
True they fix an exploit and retards like Davis says he's not playing because said exploit got fixed, can't please everyone and 2k needs to realize this and realize this community really is just full of bipolar retards who don't know what they want.

Look here, Joe knows about the downfall too.
2k22 was a w at first because the devs actually cared about a game for once but then they fell off because they stop caring or working hard to keep the game consistent and not complicated with bugs,glitches,people not getting on spots etc and also they lack of communication with the community is just awful that’s why they never had a game that had actual cooperative work with most people or brands but still people still buy the same game every year for more bugs and glitches it’ll never stop.

This game has been shit since literally day 1 nothing ha changed. The only thing that changed was this weird toxic ass community abusing a meta then bitching when that meta gets patched like the weirdos y'all are.
@@6ToesHeACreature I was fine with 2k day one. The patches ruined it. They tried to over compensate and satisfy everyone and now no one is satisfied
I couldnt even play the game the first two seasons
Just my opinion. What if they stopped caring because they are working on next years 2k
it's not even worth talking about how to make the game better and criticizing when it's obvious the Devs stopped caring after 2K17. Regardless of community feedback.
I make entertaining vids as well

Dude, yes to everything that was said in this video. Bring back 2k16. Which, in my opinion, was the last time they cared about us, the community.
Davisss’s take on the city was so underrated 😂😂 I literally didn’t buy next gen because the city reminded me of 2k21 😭😭😭 and I thought I was the only one
That's so beyond dumb, you don't buy a game that isnt the same because you assumed it would be lmao

My issue is that 2k seems to be stuck between a simulation game and an arcade game. They need to incorporate each of those things into its own mode instead of trying to mix it all together. The park for example should resemble the NBA street games more when it comes to wackiness and gameplay. Leave the simulation to people who enjoy MyLeague, MyCareer NBA games, Play now, ProAM,etc. When coming to the park it should be less competitive and more laid back. HATE having to deal with someone checking their phone everytime I’m on a spot just to see if I’m worth playing with or not. Just play the damn game and have fun. I’m a casual player and don’t enjoy playing with tryhards all the time.
This is a great idea!
EXACTLY! MyCareer and park is like NBA jam to me. It's why I always play MyNBA. It's way more realistic

2k needs to make dribbling good and fun again. Every 2k that is considered “good” like 16, 17, 19 had great dribbling at its core. Now dribbling is just people going left and right or running straight at the rim, no variety of usable moves. The game becomes repetitive when every game you play is against people going left right behind screens.
And it’s sad because this was literally mentioned 0 times in this video. They don’t even know the real reason why this shit trash now. They started to piss me off with “rewards” “park too big” like stfu we know those are issues but I’ll forget all about if they just fix the fucking dribbling system. It’s like 2k has been targeting dribbling for the past 3 years now ever since 19 and the issues still hasn’t been fixed. Dribbling let’s people get creative, creative = the game not being repetitive.
The problem is the fact that their is spam dribbles in the game, trust me 2k22 has almost all the dribbles 17 had (which are now slowed down of course) but in 17, they didn't have these spam dribbles and dribbling was much more methotical.
You can still dribble the same tbh 17 was just trash
The reason I quit the game after the years is the community. So many selfish players. So many jerks. So many people making it impossible to get park games. I’ve played games my whole life and 2k by far has the worst community.
Believe it or not ALOT of people consider this game good
The game went downhill when they realized they could commercialize it to the masses. People spending millions of dollars for digital outfits blew their mind, once they realized that, it was a whole new ballgame. They took that and ran with it, partnering with ALL of these gigantic global companies now. From a business stand point, genius. They're already established with no competition, they have nothing to lose. 2K had its run, it's only going to get worse and worse as long as you guys support it. As long as you buy it every year and dump money into the same digital shoes year after year so you can impress little dillon, theyll keep focusing on that...and not the actual important aspects.
The server connection errors and online user input lag should be the main thing they fix. Game is unplayable online for many players on all platforms.
Nailed it
Fr 2k22 next gen literally got State Farm in the fucking game. They got people buying fake shit from State Farm.
Well fucking said man
First off, I hate how content creators that literally have 25 hours of the day to play 2k complain about how easy it is to get to Legend this year. Like bro, it's your job to play this game... not everyone has the same time as you to get to max level. This is probably the first 2k I'm gonna get to legend because I can pace myself and not get burnt out after getting to superstar where the meter barely moves. I agree about rewards, but this is the first year this is happening.
Second, yes this game still needs a lot of work but yall really act like your playstyles are perfectly balanced. Not everyone has a full team to play with every game. Not everyone has a lockdown with HOF Every Badge to play against a spammy pg. Everyone wanna complain about speed boosting getting nerfed, how about you have the same energy about defenders being buffed. You stack 4-5 dribble badges and 7 shooting badges and say that the game is easy, then talk hella trash after you green a shot off a screen with a defender that can't activate 2 badges at the same time. Then you get mad when they go for a steal when you're spamming moves and get caught with a foul because you got HOF Unpluckable. We all know 2k is laggy as hell and you have to be part psychic to play decent defense. Oh, and we not even gonna talk about dribbling. Most of yall out here double dribbling, doing behind the back moves going backwards.
Last, about new content creators... everybody plays this game the exact same at the higher levels. Wanna run 2s? Spammy dribbler and a rebounder are on a 20 streak. Wanna play rec? 5 out offense and zone defense. It's boring to play against and it's boring to watch. Why does every team in the 2k league play the same? It's repetitive to have every pg average 40 ppg and 3apg. And yall toxic af too. Everyone's garbage, but it's only BS when 2k does it to you? There's no accountability.
At least someone calling out the accountability and almost every aspect if not every aspect of the issues in 2k

A few things for me.
1. The game has turned into watching the PG shoot 25 shots from 3 while you stand around getting minimal stats most of the time.
2. Its almost impossible to grind a player from 60 overall without buying or wasting previously earned VC, almost forcing you to buy VC with every new character
3. If I play 5 games in The Rec, 3 of those are teams with mostly bots or the other team quits
4. The officiating in The Rec is broken. Especially the out of bounds calls
5. The city, period.
Thank you bro.. especially the Guards just dribbling like crazy not and only using the others for Screens and Rebounds.. pisses me off to the max cause now I’m fighting over 2-3 screens tryna guard up and the mf already shooting his ass off… Then the virgins have the nerve to tell me to “ get better “

@@jondoe5305 That’s not true at all. People will throw it over your head. Last year I averaged 16 assists in the Rec and people still wouldn’t let me run pg even though I play it pass first. The average 2k player is extremely dumb.
Im confused. For years content creators have been saying that 2k drops the same game and they need to be ambitious and make changes but when they do we immediately say we want them to stop making changes to the good games. Those 2k17 days were filled with cheesy meta builds the same problem we say we hate today. We get to caught up in Nostalgia and wanting the game to feel the same way it felt the first time we experienced it
Go look up 2k18 wishlists if you think im cappin
Facts just like at the start of the year when it felt different the community complained about defense, got it nerfed and made the game offense based like 21. All that complaining about wanting a game that feels different just to bitch about it in the first 2 weeks cause people can't adjust

People don't want a real game. They literally are giving them what they asked for and now they hate it. They want it to be an arcade nba game. Lebron don't fly through 3 people for a dunk. Curry doesn't left right behind screens, etc. They don't want a real NBA game that's the problem.
@@Zayk74u exactly 👍
2k needs to bring back the competition between the affiliations like in 2k15-17. Also the biggest thing is to listen to the community to provide us with a game we would actually want

It’s funny asf how these content creators all of sudden hate the game when the devs touch something that pertains to them(speed boosting/side to side dribbling/cheese dribbling( when 2k22 first game out they were all raving about the game calling it the best 2k ever lmaooo. And now that they nerfed the cheese dribbling all of sudden there’s a downfall ALL OF A SUDDEN…🤔😭😭😭
🧐🧐🧐 not a lie told
you make a good point, i’ll admit i felt like my guard had no use in this world after they patched the left right speed glitch. But you gotta remember not every 2k content creator plays the game the way it’s “suppose” to be played.
Nostalgia plays a big role in all these games and to me it feels like we aren’t appreciating what’s in front of us because we dwell in the past too much. Was it easier to grind from 60 to 85 back then? hell yea. I miss the 15-17 era, but there’s nothing we can do sadly but just move on
We need to start with GAMEPLAY issues before we address the other issues. The SKILL GAP has lessened. It is now a BUILD GAP more than anything. Before even in 2k19 you couldn’t copy Tycenos build per say and play as good as him because it was pure IQ and some what of skill to use a build. If you were a good player you were good on any build suited for your play style. Now you HAVE to make certain builds to get certain badges and it’s just all a glitchy boring cheesy MESS
That’s my biggest problem, and the community has dictated what makes players “comp” and not. The “comp” players think running left and right with a screen just to get a defender in a bad animation is what makes you “comp”. I’ve never understood how playing with the least amount of skill and cheesing is “comp” but 2k allowed it to be that way. Shit is sad.
At this point I just want a remastered NBA 2K16
That’s a really good point

I don't understand how the community complains about the game being the same every year but then suggest they bring back things older 2ks. Same engine, same dribble system, same rep system, same parks. The community has been stuck in this loop for years Call the game good start of the year, content creator hits top rep in 2-3 months, call the game boring and make "2k after legend" videos, Next 2k comes out and they praise the last one that they were hating on all year it's happened with 2k17,2k18, 2k19, 2k20, 2k21, and now 2k22
It's to keep us watching tbh. They know that's how it is. I've been playing consistently since 2k15 and as you said it's the same every year. Good at first. Then someone finds glitches and cheesey builds. They lose to said cheese. Then the game trash, etc.
Also seasons aren't a bad idea, they cater to the casual side of the community so people with school or a job can still hit a decent level obviously some content creators won't like it cause their lives revolve around 2k but that's their problem, ain't no reason why I should have to play the game 24/7 to get good rewards when 2k21 came out I had 900 hours on 2k20 and only got SS1 hell nah bruh

I don’t care about the city, the boat, the park, vc, my player/team, cards,etc. I just want to play an nba game with real and classic teams. And gameplay is AWFUL! It’s almost unplayable
2k11 is the best in the series imo. Yes the gameplay is dated now, but it was great at the time. That game was full of content and care. Details as small as old school presentations made that game feel immersive.
I can say this about all sports games. I am 41 so I have been playing games for over 35 years. Sports games are cash grabs and I stopped buying them.
@@roncrudup2110 I’ve been playing since 2k3. No they aren’t all cash grabs. There are sports games that were innovative and fun. 2k12 was the first 2k to use micro transactions. If we’re being honest ALL MODERN GAMES ARE CASH GRABS.
I was ecstatic when the game first came out. I spent a hundred or so dollars on VC alone (the more VC gap needed to upgrade is also a big mistake from them this year). I really enjoyed it at launch. I hit 40 while not having to grind hours on end daily while working full time and doing college full time. The devs actually listened to player feedback and the game felt balanced. Around halfway through season 2, the game got frustrating when the defense became sluggish and most comp guards ran 5’9 guards running blinders hof. Casual players didn’t want to drop extra money to make new “iso stopper” builds just to be fucked on by taller players. Once blinders became the meta, I stopped playing. Defensive rating didn’t matter if you were taller than the shooter. I had multiple times within a week where I clamped up on defense (80 something perimeter Rating 6’7 pf playmaking post but played like a point forward) and the guard would explosive between the legs for half a second, then when my player was glued to his hip, shoot and green the shots.. clamps stopped working even though I had it on gold. It was like I couldn’t body bump the dribbler to stop their animations, which wasn’t a problem at the start. I didn’t want to make a 6” guard just to win, especially after having to make multiple builds. I wasn’t having fun no more and quit at level 37 with 3 weeks Left. I had multiple 99 builds. After a few weeks of not playing, I erased the game and have no intention of redownloading it. Just because they remove speed boosting doesn’t mean the game isn’t broken.

How can u have a full time job while doing college?
best comment i’ve read on this
I'm happy to see that the UA-cam comments community is realizing that the issue with 2K is the UA-cam content creators. The game will never be good enough because you have people playing it for 10 hours a day, no life-ing the game then asking for more. Same thing happens on Apex. The problem with 2K every year is that it's a basketball game.
Fax these no life content creators be staring at their screen 24/7 and complaining like Lebron.
Facts, social media and the internet ruined gaming lol
@@dtp_drip2659 I mean, think about it - gaming is a business, right. And people bandwagon opinions all the time. Again, I'm not defending shoddy games, right.... Like something that's fundamentally flawed. But the difference between the games people claim were fun back in the day and today is the fact that there's a person who benefits from you watching them complain about something you either are frustrated with or didn't even realize was an issue until they told it it should be. And then they harp on it and harp on it for views. That's why people keep saying the 2K from X years ago is now better. Because NOW they're no longer bashing it. So now you love it again. The LESS you watch UA-cam, the MORE you'll love a game. Trust.
The real problem is the gameplay itself is goofy and frustrating... Turnovers everwhere, bad passes hitting backboards, flying out out bounds, missed open lobs, bad releases going in, backcourt violations too easily, stepping out of bounds, Refs calling incorrect calls on fouls and out of bounds because of the challenge call system, reach in fouls stopping gameplay constantly, bad animations fumbling the ball and just looking goofy all over the place.
The game is frustrating and annoying to play and there is nothing new to do or hardly new builds or ideas...
I’m glad you said it the turnover issue is so irritating and they made the defence of mycareer and on my team impossible to score against unless you literally sweat the game n try master it they’ve made pro difficulty on both game modes like your playing hall of fame I loved 2k20 and 2k21 actual gameplay after a week or so of getting used to the game I literally don’t even know why I play this one it’s frustrating as f**k
@@Jhoodlumz27 tbh, you just suck. The computer isn’t hard to score on and never was if you aren’t garbage at the game.

@@thrillwill5 I get his point, I started playing 2k since 2k19 and I’ve been fine grinding badges and etc but when I reached mycareer for 2K22 for pro difficulty everything was a lot harder then you’d expect, especially since the game has like 4 difficulty’s, the ai’s are way more alert and will clamp you until another ai pluck you or block you, not very easy for someone who doesn’t spend money on vc or have any badges, and park definitely isn’t going to be fun without any of that 😂

AGENT IS THE BEST MAN HE REALLY CARES ABOUT THIS GAME AND I RESPECT IT
It’s crazy to me that the content creators are upset that you can get to level 40 in 2 days (which is insane btw) and I’ve given up on the game cause it’s too hard to get to level 40. I have a job and a social life. The closest I came was level 36 and even then I felt like I spent too much time playing 2K.
They are weird af and want people to no life on the game every single day, playing 12+hr a day to hit 40
Bruh I got a job and a social life myself. Bruh the furthest I made was level 5 I checked out so fast bruh
Hey normal citizen! Have a Nice Christmas!
Notice how only content creators who get paid to do this by the way have that issue? Not everyone spends 48 hours to max out a game. I literally just play 2k because I like basketball the other shit comes with it 😭
@@teflonshontv7197 haha same. Highest I got was level 4
They need to take it back to 3 parks, 3 different rivals, rival events, good rewards for grinding and reaching the top (2k17 or 16 rep system works), I'm ok with the seasons to keep the game fresh ( just make good rewards), keep mayor's, and add more stuff to the game.
With all that, that should make the game fun to hop on, now they just need good game play to back it up. My tips would be a faster pace game. Or just turn on 17 servers for us, since that's when I started
Agent I like the aesthetic feel of the backgrounds when your outside… it really makes the video appealing to eyes and makes me want to keep watching. Keep up videos like these we love them!🤟🆙
What made me leave the shot meter is frustrating I don't understand the need to change it literally every year. And it's just too hard to shoot in general in my opinion
Man, can we talk about the quality of this video. I love this dawg, keep up the good work
I see that content creators have the same problems that are almost exclusive to them. The average player just wants smooth gameplay, with realistic animations and fun rewards. The city is a great contribution to the game, it’s just too big honestly. You should be able to fast travel from affiliation to affiliation while still having quests
Facts running around that mf is annoying asf and takes time away from playing
Yall did a lot of talking to dance around real issues.
Examples:
1- the fact that you can have a 92 speed and acceleration and still get ran down by people with 50 speed.
2- the fact that every single build can get contact dunks, dribble, defense and still shoot and make 3s consistently.
3- the game comes out incomplete every single year. And it comes out with all these glitches and it takes FOREVER to patch cheese.
4- the intelligence of the AI in multiplayer modes is beyond pathetic. Sharpshooting AIs will have a widddeeeee open jumper and either wait till a defender comes or will try to go up on a big in the paint.
5- the facts that people can still set 600 screens in 24 seconds has not been fixed.
6- the passing is GOD awful and the steals are OP.
@@djnyquil4294 you said all of that and not one thing about the server connection errors and online input delay lag.
They need to simplify the game, stop mistreating the community that speaks up, make next gen and current gen the same game, (like Callof duty ) But with better graphics for next gen/a little more incentives.
Love the videos man 🖤

@@PriestDaSensei facts 💯
Problems with 2K22 :
1. Shooting is too easy, park or rec almost every posession is a 3PT attempt
2. We need matchmaking on current gen outside of the rec and pro am, sometimes it takes forever to find games in park, also because people are overly catious about win and 3pt %
3. VC cost for builds is wayyy too high, people would play more if they could max out their builds faster and move on to the next one
4. I dont know why we dont keep events as an extra game mode you can choose from and everytime a new event releases its being added to the game mode playlist
5. There should be a bigger penalty for ball hogging or for example you play 3s in park and your team mates only pass to each other without you getting even 1 chance, there should be a penalty for that kinda behavior
6. there should be a 1v1 court on current gen outside of the stage
Low-key the problem with 2k is the community so pretty much the Game is doomed.
Problem is that 2k put trying to force customers to buy vc ahead of making the game fun as possible.
First off, keeping old 2k servers will more likely be beneficial profit wise, so I don’t think they should be shut down. 2k should do some more research from the community from past 2k (like off of past UA-cam videos) and they should ask the community today too about there favorite features in 2k (Twitter not only Reddit) and they should implement them into the game. Build off their best ideas instead of starting from scratch every single year. Also, they should have a dev team specifically for update and patches throughout the year and not quitting on 2k. The other dev team should be developing the next 2k
No bc people wouldn’t buy the new game the game really repetitive
They probably would raise the price, but it really should be that if they actually put in more effort doesn’t mean they should raise the price… I agree with you they probably would raise the price
That dont make sense it would be even more divided smh
They keep old servers up all the time nobody would be on the latest 2k but to compromise for this I agree they should bring old servers up but only during the downtime of the current 2k
For me, it's the community that has a problem. Not the game. I almost always encounter toxic players when I play. The game is fun, the community (most of them) aren't.
Just Grabbed some food and now I get to watch this heat 🔥🔥😈

OMG!!! Trench coat agent is back!!!! These documentaries are my favourite because they are so accurate!!!!💯🤦🏾♂️
It's crazy cause I'm only 21 and have no idea who ANY of these current 2K content creators are (with the exception of IKC and Agent) but most of them enable the community to play the same exact way. I may be young but I'm old enough to remember how good 2K was from 2K10-2K18 and how builds were way more unique back then.
Imagine taking a break from 2K for a couple years and coming back to everyone having playshots, Curry sliding, and speedboosting.
The 2k16-17 nostalgia bias is HUGE. Yes they were good games, definitely top 3-4 of all 2Ks but people are treating a game they haven’t played in 3-4 years as something almost godlike, and perception of the games are definitely altered by all of the great memories from those games and how disappointing the games are now

What they need to honestly do is start letting the OGs of this community influence future games and not 10 years from now like yesterday. They continue to make games on their own without our help. The sooner they do this the more happier we are, the more money they make off our happiness with the game that WE helped make.
Why does everyone forget when 2k17 was out everyone complained that we had the same parks every year, they wanted new parks, new affiliations, and a new to play the game. They give us all of that and then they want it all back? This community can't be pleased. Instead of worrying about rewards why can't everyone worry about proving that have the best basketball iq in the world by beating the best comp players. That's real content and that's what we want to see.
The ones that I see that complains more than anybody else are the 2k UA-camr. Even when 2K gives them what they want they're still complain about it
2k17 was TRASH! When I say old 2ks I’m talkin bout 15 and 16. People jus bring up 17 cus it was the last park that had the old park feel that everyone loves
Bro. One of the best analysis videos just for the creativity 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
I feel like the reason 2k is still doing well is because everyone in the community has been like “maybe next it will be better”, “next year they’ll do it right” but nothing changes. When fortnite came out we saw a clear example of how competition is good for the game cuz 2k19 was pretty good. Since then, 2k has no reason to make the game better if people still gonna buy it regardless
Nah. It’s cause it’s the only realistic NBA game we got. Live isn’t realistic and can’t compete with 2k. Even though 2k is ass. We play it cause we like basketball.

Missed one of the biggest problems regardless of generation:
It’s hard to tailor to both people who play only park and people who only play PlayNow and MyTeam. A patch can make one mode better, while making the other worse.
I’m glad someone said this. On 21 next gen people complained that their players moved too slow in mycareer/park, so they increased player movement speed. The park guys were happy but this hurt myteam a ton since everyone could just use 7 footers with 99 speed and zoom all over the court, so it was almost impossible to play defense
Yur I make entertaining videos as agent. I bet 100% it finna make u laugh. If not u can come to tell me
@@bradywright0408 i mean my team is a terrible concept no reason theres a speedboosting curry shooting shaq or karl malone
@@kordellricesnax nah it’s not a terrible concept. It’s fun, but last year was bad at times because of a huge gameplay flaw that park players begged for. Yeah they release unrealistic cards but there are plenty of cheap cards that are easy to get that can compete with the top guys
@@bradywright0408 i couldnt disagree more i played myteam in 2k20 and unless you pour money into it you struggle constantly. Also it takes away from 2k having an actual motive to make a better game because we accept money grab game modes as content. We 70 for the game 70 for every build or 40 for every new pack that drops. Micro transactions kill the motive for better gameplay and MyTeam is a huge part of the problem.

Spent 30 minutes last night trying to get everyone in a squad. Was only able to squad up 4 and the 5th quit after repeated attempts
2k downfall started when Chris Smoove stopped uploading 2k content consistently. The game got so bad he just decided to upload actual NBA highlights. We're seeing the switch now even with you. No more content about 2k games, just thoughts & opinions. The game is BAD.
I personally got burnt out from 2k22 bc I couldn’t get on every single day and accomplish what I wanted due to school, sports, etc. If I can’t keep up with the sweats who have that time then I stand no chance when I don’t have friends who can get on the game. I play on next gen btw
Exactly same here
Here some ideas
-Cross Platform
-Make the Mycourt more relevant and make it a walk around lobby for friends to start up games or chill and make it have a skate park and all that good stuff
-Make all the other shops accessible from the nav
-Create match making for games and a keep playing option. (Basically the apex matchmaking system) if you want to be match up to play more if not return to the my court lobby
-Create a walk on ranked rec walk on for Christ sake so the people who play alone don’t have to match up with under skilled players
The harsh honestly is the 2k devs could care less ab anything, they’re still getting money regardless, so everything from cross play to vc bullshit to myteam bullshit to bad reward system to MyLeague not being supported to the city being ass to just everything they’re still getting their money at the end of the day so they could honestly care less and we still continue to buy the games every year and continue to buy vc, this imo is the same bs that cod goes through where it’s always “if it was as good as mw2 or black ops 2 it’d be good again” but people still continue to play the game and buy the game so at the end of the day the real solution is for everyone to just stop playing the shit if it’s bad
2k19 was the last 2k i had fun on, so many memories
2k is dying because of content creators. I’ve said this for years. Think about it. Nobody was posting 2k21 and 2k22 at launch was the beat it’s been since like 19. Then as soon as the CC’s started playing it and complaining like always 2k catered it toward them. They cried about defense being too cheese even tho everyone shoots 60+%. Then they nerfed defense now they complained that offense is too easy and all stopped playing the game lol. One of the main complaints last year was at January they had no reason to play. They fix that with seasons now they crying about animations??? Once 2k realizes that UA-camrs are the vast minority of the player base they’ll make a good game again.
Agree
This right here
An offline mode like Create-A-Legend back in 2k12 i think could be another thing they should add back into the game for just casual play.
That and rookie difficulty
I think 2k’s problem is that they listen to the community too much. Everybody hated the neighborhood in 2k19 & 2k20 so we got the city 🤦🏾♂️ 2k22 was different at launch but most content creators and small guard mains in the community cried n for defense nerfed. They patch speed boosting y’all cry n they got on it asap to give y’all a slightly nerfed version of it. Y’all hated the archetype system n wanted superstars n in 21 we had the 6’7 scoring machine who can do everything and pretty much became the only build u seen 🤷🏾♂️
Another thing is i dont think people get that they are getting tired of the way they play trying to use cheese moves over and over and over and then blame 2k for not making things more fun.

I love how no one ever talks about how when they added the ability to see your win %, everyone started ducking games. Before that people would play anyone.
As a 2k Content Creator, I’m struggling out here ngl
switch it up dont limit yourself, you'll regret it
Honestly if 2k could just open old 2k servers to give us something to play while they work on 2k23 without having to keep updating the current version of 2k so much, and bring back some of the old rewards and brings back some of the old game mechanics. Like the defense in 20, just not as o.p., the dribbling from 17, the build system they have now, and bring back a skills game to all parts of the game. Meaning shooting takes skill and you actually need to time your jumper, defensive builds a can actually play defense, playmakers can do the moves they want too and not get an animations that get them ripped by 2k not being responsive. Not to mention toning down slashing, ik some of yall are not gunna agree, but over the years slashing has become a problem. Now as a community we not asking for much. At this point we just want a solid game we can play and have fun. Idk about you guys, but I'm tired of how I get let down year after year with 2k. Everyone remember when u first started playing 2k? Your first build that feeling when u greened your first 3, got that ankle breaker you've always wanted to get, made an amazing play, or even violated that guys clip with a block/snatch block. I want that old feeling of 2k back. Everyone who disagrees with that is lying. Because at the end of the day it's a video game and just trying to have fun. Stay safe yall✌&❤
There not going to do that they know everyone will go to 2k16 they want ppl to play what’s new
These are the same people who called nba live trash now they turning on 2k when did loyalty stop mattering?
Sports games as a whole are archaic with the annual releases. Making one actual game every few years and keeping a subscription plan while they update and polish would give them time to make a whole new experience in the next game
My cousin who has absolutely no clue how to play 2k was some how able to get to lvl 40 within 3 days there’s no skill and people get tired of the fact that we can’t get into games on park . I only played 2k22 for one season this year, let’s return to 2k16,17 I’d be on those games 24/7.
I think it’s just the annual releases. It’s easily the root of the problem whether it’s gameplay, performance issue, or design they all change year to year. Nowadays the most popular games are the free ones so for next gen to pay an $10 now hurts them even more. I just can’t see 2K make a comeback.
Bring back the dunk contest, add a 3pt contest, Make different locations for blacktop,create a legend, I get these are offline modes but I think we all know 2k focuses way too damn much on the online modes, we could make some online modes too
Bruh the problem with 2k is they get too many opinions, content creators sway the community into a pack like mentality and we end up asking for the dumbest shit I.e affiliations. We get it back and it serves no purpose and all of Davis's ideas are a good example why 2k shouldn't listen to any of us smh
Affiliations are a great idea just 2k utilized them poorly 2k16 for example had 3 amazing park small and simple with amazing gameplay but 2k22 brings in city which is huge with buggy gameplay and 4 affiliations with content creators being mayor who have almost no power and the game being like a rpg. These new moves are trash no snatch backs stretches again shoot over everything with defense being awful so they just patch left right embarassing how bad this game is.
My problem is everyone has the same type of build a 2 way something. They’ll have like a 95 three, 95 mid, 90 free throw, a 99 perimeter defense and steal and it’s so annoying especially in the REC.
if 2k were to focus on quality more there’s no way people aren’t going to come back to the game
You can’t please everybody 2k. I personally feel like they need to continue to make this game more casual cuz everybody ain’t got time to grind all year, not hit legend and then be at a disadvantage
There is a skill gap if u really pay attention but everybody wanna copy each other builds instead of making ur build the way you wanna make him the old 2ks like 15 16 nobody was doing that
That's my biggest issue. Its annoying you load up a new 2k and see every content creator teaching people. " demi God build. " never miss green release jumpshots. Now 100k+ per video are playing just like you now.
Then us casuals see it as a problem. 2k nerfs it. Content creators complain when they exposed it themselves. 😐
Im on current gen, but this is one of my favorite 2k games,. Pretty balanced and you actually need skill to shine
This Game is the biggest trash.yeah looks good, dunks good and Animations.But you have no fun. Different meters on every shot, shooting is trash, you cant hit contested shots its every time a brick, you cant hit lay ups with contact,you hit only shots when youre wide open, and this works only with Pick roll, but not well because the defense is like glue on you every time. Every Defender is like khawi You have no differents between Bad Defenders and elite Defenders. They want make the Game so realistic, but the Gameplay is totally broken. I want to Hit shots and have fun, not sweat my Ass up for a bucket.
Current gen 22 is probably the worst basketball game I’ve ever played it’s slow motion
How tf can they say they can’t play 22 because it feels too much like 21, but yet they played 19 and 20 which was literally the same exact game wtff lmaooo
Matchmaking with actual benefits will really help ngl. I hate running in a city for 5 minutes for a cutscene that’ll most likely skip
I still play from time to time, no where near as long as I used to when it first dropped of course. I like the idea of seasons, but I don’t believe it should be what determines who hits legend and who doesn’t. I believe the seasons rewards should be achievable through mycareer, Rec, Park, etc. However, I believe the rep system should return so the park players have a reason to play. I miss the hype of seeing who’s going to win that Legend race. Shooting definitely needs work. I believe 17 had the best shooting system. I remember that I would practice my jumpshot and I would be rewarded for it in park and pro am because I took the time to learn my jumper. Essentially shooting shouldn’t be something that takes hours to learn, however I believe that if you don’t green, it shouldn’t go in, or least lower the chances of it going in. So make it a bit easier green, but it’s not green, it’s not dropping. The rec and pro am needs some work for sure. Rec needs a random matchmaking to avoid the try hards and pro am needs a better ranked system. My boys and I have been playing pro am for several years now, we’re not the best, but we’re confident in our abilities. However, we shouldn’t have to play 2kleague players within our first 5 games of making a team. There’s a bunch more of small tweaks they could make, but those are just a few that I believe could make a big difference.
(Coming from someone that have played 2k since 2k12) I think the solution could be quite easy. They need to open older servers up. What separates 2k from the developers of Call of Duty and Need for Speed, is that they keep their older games servers up so that you can play whichever game you feel.
Most of my problem with 2k for me comes from how the game feels. I remember buying NBA Live 19 and the game felt amazing compared to 2k. Even the ankle breaker system they had was actually nice. The only problem was that they didn't have as good animations as 2k had. If 2k was more responsive and consistent, the game would be much more enjoyable
Also they really need to take away the city. Once I seen the simplicity of 2k16, it's hard to turn away from it. This will also help them make more beautiful parks without focusing on making a huge map. Just because it is more expansive doesn't mean that it is needed or wanted
Nobody would ever buy new 2k, they would lose money as a company and as years go on the community will be split more and more
@@Ehmilio well they need to make better games then. Call of Duty releases new games every year and they are still being sold like crazy even with the old servers being up. Not as much in recent years because of franchise fatigue. But it just proves 2k games are digressing in quality if so many ppl still want 2k16 back and 2k knows it. And the communities splitting wouldn't be a bad idea. The game isn't fun, it is frustrating. If i could go back to where I was having fun in 2k, I would.

This 2K is pretty god tier
I totally agree with you I think the problem for most people everyone grew up and when you were high school you look forward to play after school with friends online and have good time in the chat but now most people got a job,bills and other shit to worry about so it won’t hit the same like in high school you want the game to bring back same feelings but it not going happen again tho
It’s actually fun on current gen these guys are pushing their narrative so us guys who play current can give them more games therefore more content.
The game doesn’t revolve around content creators.
It revolves around the people.
I agree. This is the best 2k I played in yearssss.
@@earlbrown1803 They finally RESPECT OPEN SMARTS SHOTS!!!
Yea this year it’s fun to play 2k again. I played current gen up until Christmas and now I’m on next gen. Now I do agree with him with us should be able to travel fast from one point to another. The city is crazy big but it’s not a deal breaker.
How crazy would it be if 2k said it were shutting down our servers after this year “there will be no more 2k goodbye”
Dude! I loved your presentation skills walking around your city! Absolutely brilliant!
Remember when a bunch of y’all were saying it’s the best 2k just because shooting was easier 😂😂😂
The only thing that makes me mad the most is the people that complain and complain about the game being bad, and then next game comes out and they spend 100s of dollars on it…
What the fuck do you think it’s gonna happen? If you give them the thing they want the most they’re not going to change they’re going to do the exact fucking same thing, every time someone spends 100 dollars in this franchise I lose one of my braincells. Which speaks to how many people do that shit.
As a new player (and old man compared to most of you 😅) I’m in a wierd place because the game is fun to play for me, but everything around it makes it a very frustrating experience. I stopped MyPlayer and switched to MyTeam after season 1 just to play something different. But there are very similar issues in both games and the reliance on VC in the whole game is just 🤯 I could go on and on but I’ll just say there are far too many quality of life issues in 2k that stop me from playing the game enough to actually want to get better.
i bought 2k22 played it for one week and havent touched it since. makes me sad bc the skill gap is so bad that you cannot really stand out from others rip ronnie
I don’t even play 2K anymore but I’m still gonna watch all ur Videos anyway😂
Honestly you got to break the cycle on 2K stop buying it they're never going to change they'll keep beating you into buying the next game you're going to go through the same crap again and again
This was a W video, now let’s hope someone from 2k sees this and actually listen if not then this game is actually done for(this is comeing from someone who has played 2k since 2k9🤷🏿)
Ik I’m part of the minority saying this, but with crossplay as a big piece that the community wants, I’d love for there to be crossplay with PC as well. I came from console to PC gaming and 2k literally shows no love to us. No anti-cheat and the fact that my favorite streamers and youtubers that play 2k are on a different platform, it seems even more divided
Edit: I also really wish we never went in the direction of neighborhood to then city. Idk about anyone else but I loved the park idea with rivet, sunset, and oldtown. Especially when the event day came and you tried hard to rack up wins for your affiliate to get those boosts. Its sad to say I’m not too optimistic on the future of any of these changes though since 2k has let us down time and time again
I don't play 2K online and I understand that the majority of what they're talking about in this video but if there's one thing I really wish they would not have completely screwed up in 2K22 was the reduction in foul calls when you play games in MyNBA. Again I know that this video isn't geared towards the solo player community but that's just my 2 cents.
ima old school 2k fan, i played from 2k13-2k16, this new 2k ain't the same at all. They need to make a all in one game.
Always appreciate your videos but I’m personally loving this years game
If anything, I feel like when they introduced archetypes in 2k17, was when they started to kinda go downhill. I can honestly say that in terms of MyCareer, that was by far the only time in 2k that I played more MyTeam than MyCareer. However, I think that was the start of the downfall of 2k's reputation. I think it started with 2k17 because the archetypes led onto dual archetypes in 2k18 and thus led onto more problrms involving the gameplay with the other 2ks in the future. I agree with the fact that we should go back to the 2k16 engine, as for how other stuff is concerned, I think that should be left to what the community would suggest.
Only things I can say is to make matchmaking better for Rec and to base it on position and height. There should be no reason why the matchmaking has to make it where there are two centers playing together at the same time, especially when both are non-shooting bigs.Another thing is that I feel like bringing AIs again was good in terms of getting games started. At the same time, I feel like it gives teams an unfair advantage if they have a whole team of players versus a team with two or more AIs.
Besides that, I think if they were to bring back some stuff instead of taking it away and bringing it back in a later 2k as a new feature, I think 2k wouldn't be in the situation that they are in now. I also think when making builds, it would help to have everything available instead of leaving stuff out to simplify it, like lateral quickness being involved with perimeter defense for example. I feel like by having everything already there we can make builds way more unique than what we usually see based on what we can edit for them.
That's about all I have to say about it. May everyone have a goodnight and be safe.
My opinion to NBA 2K is there's no fair ground to what we tell the developers, ronnie, mike, what needs to be changed fixed buff or nerf we all can't come to a equal agreement except saying"this game ass" everytime we lose or fuck up in a dumb way. Plus i don't like how every season 2k implements myteam cards or packs into the rewards idk whoever reads this let me know your opinion.
True they fix an exploit and retards like Davis says he's not playing because said exploit got fixed, can't please everyone and 2k needs to realize this and realize this community really is just full of bipolar retards who don't know what they want.
im old enough to remember when it was all free now the put everything behind a paywall not just 2k i mean all games
I miss 2k16 so much yo🥺
