I love that they added a visual cue bar on the jumpshot creator then they made the green window move on every shot, completely undoing the reason for visual cue
@@mathewsb19951 yeah no the visual cue doesn't always stay the same. It depends on how the server is when you get into a match the visual cue is usally the same but it can change depending on how hard the delay hits.
I know I’m an old head on 2k, been running since 2k11 mycrews when people were usb stick uploading 7’6 MJ lookalikes. Been through the gamebattles years where everyone used the clippers, Knicks, lakers, okc, cheese. Where people used to sit out of bounds under the basket to not get a 3 second call. I’ve seen it all, but I always came back because I knew if I had my homies playing basketball the right way, cutting moving the ball, getting open, you could always have a fighting chance. If you had IQ and teamwork, you didn’t need to have the best animations, the optimal shot, the most fine tuned builds so that every person perfectly compliments each other. But every year, the skill gap reduces more and more and more. 2k rewards bad selfish gameplay. It rewards playing PNR with a 99 3 PG and a 99 O rebounding center and the other three sitting on the wings. It rewards not passing the ball with unrealistic steal animations. It rewards players with 0 perimeter defense and 99 steal just spamming X. It rewards lazy 2-3 zones instead of well balanced builds where you can actually defend. I don’t win or lose this year, the game just decides if I win or lose. And ya maybe I’m trash but I shouldn’t have to sweat all the time just to have fun playing basketball without needing to spend hours strategizing builds and animations and setups. Just let us hoop man. Reward us when we make a good basketball play. I guarantee if 2k does that, the community will be forced to adapt. And they can do it, but they won’t, cuz it doesn’t maximize the number of builds people pay for. We bought *NBA* 2k25 and people don’t even use nba teams anymore. There’s no substitutions, there’s no understanding who is capable of what. Some players can shoot only, some can only rebound, some are all around. That was so much fun. Now, you make your guy be good at one thing and that’s the only thing you need to do. And people see these legends like they’re nice, nah they just good little sheep that find the exploits in the system, and pay a bunch of money to do it too. At this point, I get one build and just ride with it. I get my basketball fix and I move on. Such a shame where we’ve gotten to.
5:35 I currently work a 4 day on 4 day off schedule and on my 4 days I decided to play 2K I must admit this game is the worst its ever been in years… It feels like I’m playing against my team, the opponent and some mysterious force that lets me make a shot when it wants to… I’m not kidding I’ve literally not time my jumper on purpose and still hit the shot… Then people expect you to be a 5 star player on a 2 star game shit wack what this community and game has become.
VC started in 2k13 so been even longer than that lol been a whole decade of this shit and they only inflated it worse 2k13 was actually hella cheap compared to now
Unfortunately, this is the worst iteration of 2K to date. In recent years, there has been a noticeable push to turn the game into a gambling simulation. This year, RNG have been amplified to the point where player control feels secondary, making the experience heavily dependent on chance. This approach preys on customers and borders on unethical business practices, exploiting its customer by fostering gambling addiction. In other years, players had more control over gameplay, but now the algorithm dictates the experience. This level of exploitation of the customer base is deeply concerning and should be illegal.
This! I’d take it a step further and say at times 2k flat out dictates your experience by inexplicably kicking you from games (usually a game you’re winning/playing extremely well), giving you lopsided matchups, even going so far as the song choice playing in the background that seems eerily reminiscent of your current gaming experience… I’m sure a lot of these insidious practices are designed to keep players constantly making new builds in hopes of addressing perceived weaknesses in their other builds.
We need NBA LIVE I'm tired of Mike Wang and Ronnie2K, get purple eyes rewards, doing my spin to get a banner, and buying VC just to realize I'm still unhappy 😡
Exactly bro 2K IS ASS NOW AND IT MAKES ME MAD, I guess they just don’t fucking care about the players anymore it’s so sad. 2K20 and 2K17 and 2K19 were probably my favorite 2Ks I just hope they make a better game next year, But knowing 2K they probably won’t 😭
1. make whites only allowed in park and offline modes 2. take out "sbmm" 3. fix the physics 4. take ai out of rec 5. make high pass acc give clean catches again. boom perfection
Both Interior defense and contest system need a buff. Better dribbling animations and finishing for guards. Reduce out of bounds sensitivity. No Moore fluke rebound animations. Allow centers to throw better fast breaks.
The fact that all guards are using garland dribble styles just tells you how bad this game is. No other dribble style can compete compared to garland dribble style
That is just the community being unoriginal, and thats nothing new. I use 80% of kobe Bryants animations on my ISO build and i drop everybody off. Fuck competing, i out shine the garland dribble moves 😂 alot of people do use that weak ass animation but its not because the game is bad or because there isnt any other option. Everyone is just a copy cat that cant compete without a current “meta” their favorite youtuber says
this year sucks i use to play consistently on my career. i barely finished the first season. the animations and dribbling i just can’t anymore. i play maybe once a week or none at all.
I feel like this year is evident that they dropped a game they thought they could patch and fix. But they added way to many things that they can’t patch
I've seen the rise and fall of 2k from since playing 2k14. And I don't think Allcity is complaining Its like me I don't complain about the game I'm just disappointed that it's gotten this far for the game to be this rubbish. It's frustrating because we saw how good 2k was.. but with all the technology and stuff you'd think they'd implement that to make the game better, not worst! The game has been bad this year and I think the 2k Devs know it.
I keep saying this… the 1yr life cycle is 2ks problem. The game is usually in a bad state until sometime in January. A 2 year life cycle is much needed… they can easily add features and updates to the game and city that will keep us playing for 2 years but they have no incentive to such
Nothing worst than 2K making you time your shot making it feel like your in control of the timing with the button and 2K know damm well that green window ain’t there. Better yet get finessed in the REC with the other team making more whites than green. I thought the team that makes the most greens suppose to win??? 2K will make up whatever to make you lose a game that you legit won. 2K26 better be green or miss or that shit staying on the shelf.
Use to play EVERYDAY addicted to this game since 2k18 with 4-6 builds by now. Barely get 2-4 games a WEEK, 2 builds and close to quitting it’s that UNPLAYABLE💔
I’m so numb to 2K news, like how long are we still going to watch videos about people complaining about 2K. At this point if you’re still playing all power to you keep playing. Whoever don’t like the game stop complaining about it and don’t play anymore. I’m done hearing about 2K. Let’s move on, content creators move on. if you like the gameplay, if you don’t plain and simple, let’s make more news of something else.
@ I don’t know what rock you live under bro, but I think the whole community for years have expressed what they want for 2K and 2K turned around and did the opposite. We were asking for them just to fix the game fix issues in the game that makes it unplayable that’s all we wanted, but now we got this crap.
@@Cuzzo-On-UA-cam 2k has given the community exactly what they asked for. Ppl complained and said they wanted whites going in. Ppl wanted more realistic game play. Years ago ppl said they wanted affiliations back. They have been listening to the community, just the wrong part of the community. The same people that complained the shooting was to hard last year and the patched it so everyone could shoot. People need to start placing the necessary amount of blame on the community.
And yall believe it and buy it every year. Do what the ea community has done and abandon it which you see they stopped working on basketball to improve. Other wise it’s going to be the same thing every year
We WERE the ea community lol when ea couldn’t get it together we flocked to 2k exclusively… The problem is there isn’t any other legitimate competition to flock to. If you want video game basketball you HAVE to play 2k. Hence their “if you don’t like it then don’t play” attitude.
@ you don’t have to play it. Show them that you don’t wanna put up with there non sense and not buy the game which everyone wont do. So what ends up happening is that people buy the game, complain about it 2 months later and say they will never buy a 2k game then turns around buys next years copy.
@DETERMINOLOGY what you're saying is obviously unrealistic. You can't make 10 million people stop buying 2k. Start criticizing the game. That's the only option
@ people do that but the buyouts overtake that. Show the action by not buying it or don’t complain. If your buying the game and complaining they not going to listen and they will still be 2k
Every single game next year they should take steals out and give everybody the same the ability to play lanes but make it like everybody has bronze interceptor.
I got back on 2K25 after a 2 week break and I didn’t get that feeling I usually get when I haven’t loaded it up in a while… I actually dreaded it, but played for the homies. This year’s “trash” is on a different level.
Yeah the developers for Helldivers 2 made me realize I was being treated like complete shit by 2k. Smfh. That’s why that game won multiplayer game of the year 🤷🏾♂️
50 hrs a week on a video game is OD if u r not a content creator or pro gamer! That’s damn near a full work day of gaming 7 days a week, go get some sun lol
If I get 2k26 for free I'll play. I overpaid for 25's standard edition, and as far as optimization goes. I've been saying the same thing about 2k24 they just need to improve on what was already there, but here we are quitting 2k or gaming in general because for some of us 2k was the only game we played.
I started playin in 2k8 and I feel once they actually finish the pro play system we’re gonna see an entirely different game, even though things aren’t good this year if we look at gameplay from a broad perspective (leave the crazy animations out💀)this actually looks like more fluid and realistic than most 2ks they just need to find the middle ground in realsim and arcade
Just a Thought. If 2K incorporated Dynamic goals within online play. For extra rep. That would make the game better. For example in Rec. Win quarter by 10 pts. Or Stop opposing team for 3 consecutive possession. Then the winning team would get that additional rep percentage.
The issue with the game is not that pro play is bad it’s that it’s new so there’s flaws that they don’t even understand yet and that makes effectiveness of different lineups and play styles have a gap that creates stale gameplay
25 is BY FAR the worst shit I ever played. It’s so bad we can’t even call this shit a game. It’s not qualified enough to be called a game. Idk what this shit is. You kno it’s bad when it feels like the game has been out for at least 6/7 months and it’s only been damn near 3.5 🤦🏾♂️ I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO DISAPPEAR
Assuming they drop a $20 game and advise they will make adjustments as they game progresses. They had a whole year to drop a triple A game, what in their history can we look at that they will correct or make a good game in any cycle. When the foundation is flawed no amount of cosmetics will fix the structure!
Recently I’m starting to feel like I don’t have control over my player when I’m playing rec. I started playing 2K recently 2K22 and 2K25 is by far the worst 2K I have played. 2K24 was the most enjoyable for me.
i play about 1-2 hours a day during the week & maybe 4 hours a day over the weekend. only reason i play as often as i do is because i want the level 40 cap breaker award & i spent money on my build so i feel like i gotta play to get my money’s worth.
2k can’t even make a simple gameplay update without breaking the game, what were they expecting trying to update the entire motion capture system?? 😂😂😂😂😂
Y’all do say the game is trash every year lol lot of y’all livin in the past… it’s never goin to be how it was before… take it for what it is or just don’t play it lol
The problem is just as we get used to the last 2K iteration a new one drops with completely different sliders and animations. So these guys cry and moan bout how trash the new release is cause they want something similar to what they are used to.
I only played 100 games season 1 and 2 . I didn’t get online even since i figured that it was wasting my time, playing a game that looks the same as 10 Years ago
It is really bad, but I'm only able to play on Saturday and Sunday due to work, but when I get on I'm not tryna get off the game lol, so can't keep a squad together due to frustrating shooting, animations etc.... then it's off to another game
Yall gonna be on 2k26 saying the same thing. The cycle never ends lol. 2k content creators better take a page out of agent 0s book and leave while they can lol
He said “Why do they charge full price for this game” ? The answer is very simple…. Because they kn😢you WILL PAY full price and after that YOU WILL buy VC as well
it's a shame, they just made a horrible game. Tried to do too much and execute poorly. If they just made shooting normal again I'd be fine but the whole game just feels random. So even when I'm playing well it doesn't feel like I'm playing well.
Just saying people want the game be perfect so they can pay bills its non sense its a video game its not perfect !!! Just see videos of people complaining not game plays and fun plays nasty moves !!! Its no game content just complaining videos its boring
2k attempting to gaslight the community into believing it’s OUR fault they put out a game that no one truly enjoys is next level manipulation and one of the reasons I won’t be buying next year. This is coming from someone who has played every 2k from the very beginning going back to Iverson on the cover. Before mycareer/Myplayer was even a thing… 2k has gotten progressively worse since next gen consoles released and it’s in an attempt to stifle talented players and handhold less talented players to create what THEY feel is “balanced” gameplay. What you end up with is good basketball/shot selection not being rewarded enough and bad basketball/shot selection not being punished enough. Throw in the online latency and it kills any semblance of control in the game. It actually plays great offline. I can chain moves together, stop when I want to, make shots I’m supposed to make, etc. but the servers are so bad that you have to completely adjust your game when playing online to account for latency. It just shouldn’t be THAT bad. Don’t even get me started on the microtransaction, continuous ad running and other weird stuff they have going on. That’s it’s own separate video lol
I may have to say 25 is worst then 18. 18 issue was lag and its was the first year of the city so alot of glitches and city issue. Which made park for alot of people unplayable. At that point in time park was the main seller. Actully 18 kind pushed people to PRO AM. Thats why 18 was not terrible. Rec and Pro Am were extra legit. Now 25 is another monster. Park, Rec, Proving Groungs, Pro Am, seasons, lag, animations, player control, shooting, slashing, limited dribbking, etc is a issue.
Great vid and solid points. We been getting betas for years! I just wish people would stop spending money on this game! Only way we will see real change
Imagine just needing a battery for a car… and deciding to completely rebuild the motor only to find it still won’t crank. Fix the issues big and small to maximize the platform before implementing a new one. That simple. Also I feel like the game is so slow because it’s way too many variables at play. Like have u ever had an open shot and it feels like it’s an intentional hitch or lag in ur shot that not supposed to be there. I just feel like that the game way of saying u won’t make this no matter what… and it’s always slightly late. Get a set number of badges per category a small amount like 5-6 for each playmaking finishing defense rebounding and physicals. Rebounding no longer offensive and defensive. If ur short with a high rebound that should weigh very heavily on ur builder. Strength on guards capped according to height. Just simple stuff that they never think of. Like this year did they think people wasn’t gonna come out with overly short guards with 90+ strength if u make it where they can have several legend badges? Nothing against small guards but speed should be their only advantage… nope they going into paint and getting bully animations on 7 footers for layups in the beginning… but then make a 7fter miss a layup on defense. The game has lost all logic… at this point just give everyone access to all the animations and call it even…
The more animations they add, the more gameplay has to slow down, so it seems. Slowly releasing the best animations and best cards is what keeps people making new builds and buying cards in myteam. This is my second year of day 1 purchase and getting nbatv. I have nothing to compare it to. I just wanted a new nba jam... EA disappoints me every year... Sit on the license and not do shit with it...
Imo the minute EA left the scene is when it all started to go down. 2ks best years were 2k11, 2k16 and 2k20 imo. 2k desperately needs a competitor(s). I mean when you see diehard 2k fans going to play nba live 19...that says something. (And i think nba live 19 servers are still up)
My problem is I'm not looking to be marketed but asking friends and them being blind to insist it was a good game. Damn I'm a sucker. Someone needs to find a new job or something lol
2k, Madden and CoD all release unfinished products and it's a bunch of bugs and issues and they're all 70-150.00 and then the predatory micro transactions😢.
If NBA2k is the only game you play. Then god help your soul 😭😭
I’m of the opinion that the moment updates became a thing, companies didn’t have to release a complete game anymore
Also the micro transactions fam we gotta paywhile they “figure it out” smfh
Both of these are goated comments.
Yup you said it there’s still a few companies that don’t rely on updates but it’s definitely there
2k should be like Fortnite. We don't need a whole damn new game every year. Just Updates to keep it fresh.
25 is dogshit
And yet you bought the game.
@@luckydawg7176you did too

The franchise mode is really good. The online modes are just too laggy and delayed for me to enjoy. Rec is by far the worst

Yea man this yr no matter Wht I do, I can not ! As soon as I think I got it ,,, I DONT 😢
My main complaint is that they said steals were patched but dudes still playing lanes like they on the 01 ravens.
Every single game next year they should take steals out and give everybody the same the ability to play lanes but make it like everybody has bronze interceptor.
I got back on 2K25 after a 2 week break and I didn’t get that feeling I usually get when I haven’t loaded it up in a while… I actually dreaded it, but played for the homies. This year’s “trash” is on a different level.
we might just be getting older lol
Pro Play has been very wack so far. And the fact that it's not fully "ready" yet we pay full price is super-wack.
The less I play, the more 2x Rep I get from spinning the wheel… 2k so shiesty bruh 😂
GTA sounds better and better everyday
Yeah the developers for Helldivers 2 made me realize I was being treated like complete shit by 2k. Smfh. That’s why that game won multiplayer game of the year 🤷🏾♂️
That game trash also , so that's not saying much
50 hrs a week on a video game is OD if u r not a content creator or pro gamer! That’s damn near a full work day of gaming 7 days a week, go get some sun lol
0:49 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
2k25 had so much potential season one…now it is TERRIBLE now that we lived with it 3 months.
If I get 2k26 for free I'll play. I overpaid for 25's standard edition, and as far as optimization goes. I've been saying the same thing about 2k24 they just need to improve on what was already there, but here we are quitting 2k or gaming in general because for some of us 2k was the only game we played.
I started playin in 2k8 and I feel once they actually finish the pro play system we’re gonna see an entirely different game, even though things aren’t good this year if we look at gameplay from a broad perspective (leave the crazy animations out💀)this actually looks like more fluid and realistic than most 2ks they just need to find the middle ground in realsim and arcade
Its crazy cuz this the best balanced 2k we have ever gotten. Problem is the gameplay is also the worst its ever been. How does that even work smh
Yup definitely been on POE 2 for the past week haven’t played 2k much
Finally one of the main content creators not on the fence. Thank you for speaking the truth and calling this game trash
Just a Thought. If 2K incorporated Dynamic goals within online play. For extra rep. That would make the game better.
For example in Rec. Win quarter by 10 pts. Or Stop opposing team for 3 consecutive possession. Then the winning team would get that additional rep percentage.
Did 2k ban a bunch of people? My rank went up over a thousand and I haven’t played in 4 days.
They probably just got rid of all the PC players with the update.
Nah people just not playing any more . I can't see how people made it to vet 2
The issue with the game is not that pro play is bad it’s that it’s new so there’s flaws that they don’t even understand yet and that makes effectiveness of different lineups and play styles have a gap that creates stale gameplay
25 is BY FAR the worst shit I ever played. It’s so bad we can’t even call this shit a game. It’s not qualified enough to be called a game. Idk what this shit is. You kno it’s bad when it feels like the game has been out for at least 6/7 months and it’s only been damn near 3.5 🤦🏾♂️ I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO DISAPPEAR
Like every years, after all these patches, the game looks the same for years now…
On point as usual 💯
One of the dumbest animations on the game is wen u try to fade in the mid range and it makes u go into a lay up animation
4:29 facts🎉
Assuming they drop a $20 game and advise they will make adjustments as they game progresses. They had a whole year to drop a triple A game, what in their history can we look at that they will correct or make a good game in any cycle. When the foundation is flawed no amount of cosmetics will fix the structure!
Recently I’m starting to feel like I don’t have control over my player when I’m playing rec. I started playing 2K recently 2K22 and 2K25 is by far the worst 2K I have played. 2K24 was the most enjoyable for me.
I don’t notice any dribbling changes
Im not! I quit playing for the first time ever
i play about 1-2 hours a day during the week & maybe 4 hours a day over the weekend. only reason i play as often as i do is because i want the level 40 cap breaker award & i spent money on my build so i feel like i gotta play to get my money’s worth.
How many pro play animations? "It's over 9000!" (Breaks scouter)
I was legend 15 16 17 then again in 22 but now I play like 3 park games once every few weeks.. Crazy
2k was never a bad game until UA-camrs came in the picture .
🤫... They don't wanna hear that
2k can’t even make a simple gameplay update without breaking the game, what were they expecting trying to update the entire motion capture system?? 😂😂😂😂😂
PoE2 is dope af. Been playing since release.
It’s just sad, I don’t even get excited to play the game bruh
Not gone lie man … it was the goat 2k opening day imo … after all the patches it’s just 2k24 with bugs and inconsistent “pro play” animations ….
Preach Papa!!!
I still jacking 2k18 was the worst 2k. 2k25 not good but it definitely not the worst. But I just hope we get a good 2k soon man 😢
Y’all do say the game is trash every year lol lot of y’all livin in the past… it’s never goin to be how it was before… take it for what it is or just don’t play it lol
The problem is just as we get used to the last 2K iteration a new one drops with completely different sliders and animations. So these guys cry and moan bout how trash the new release is cause they want something similar to what they are used to.
I only played 100 games season 1 and 2 . I didn’t get online even since i figured that it was wasting my time, playing a game that looks the same as 10
Years ago
It is really bad, but I'm only able to play on Saturday and Sunday due to work, but when I get on I'm not tryna get off the game lol, so can't keep a squad together due to frustrating shooting, animations etc.... then it's off to another game
Glad I took a break… I’ve been playing so many different games… Games that actually LISTEN to their community when it comes to updates 😮💨😮💨
Yall gonna be on 2k26 saying the same thing. The cycle never ends lol. 2k content creators better take a page out of agent 0s book and leave while they can lol
Everybody getting exposed 2024 2k included
He said “Why do they charge full price for this game” ? The answer is very simple…. Because they kn😢you WILL PAY full price and after that YOU WILL buy VC as well
Every time it update my players play worst
9000 animations that can’t be used. Worse 2k ever.
Ooo 2kkkkkk, we need the muscle shirt back before they take control of my animations, imma keep it a buck wit y’all 2k take control of my money
Swag has been taken for this opus 😂
it's a shame, they just made a horrible game. Tried to do too much and execute poorly. If they just made shooting normal again I'd be fine but the whole game just feels random. So even when I'm playing well it doesn't feel like I'm playing well.
Just saying people want the game be perfect so they can pay bills its non sense its a video game its not perfect !!! Just see videos of people complaining not game plays and fun plays nasty moves !!! Its no game content just complaining videos its boring
2k25 needs to go back to launch build with a slight nerf to passing lane steals imo
The whole situation is trash. New old marketing technology and I'm done. Real fishing is all I need.
2k26 will be the 2k25 they promised us
I love you so much all city
They give out a Unfinished game because y’all gone buy it 😂😂😂
Say it louder for the dev's in the back🗣🗣🗣👼
2k attempting to gaslight the community into believing it’s OUR fault they put out a game that no one truly enjoys is next level manipulation and one of the reasons I won’t be buying next year. This is coming from someone who has played every 2k from the very beginning going back to Iverson on the cover. Before mycareer/Myplayer was even a thing… 2k has gotten progressively worse since next gen consoles released and it’s in an attempt to stifle talented players and handhold less talented players to create what THEY feel is “balanced” gameplay. What you end up with is good basketball/shot selection not being rewarded enough and bad basketball/shot selection not being punished enough. Throw in the online latency and it kills any semblance of control in the game. It actually plays great offline. I can chain moves together, stop when I want to, make shots I’m supposed to make, etc. but the servers are so bad that you have to completely adjust your game when playing online to account for latency. It just shouldn’t be THAT bad. Don’t even get me started on the microtransaction, continuous ad running and other weird stuff they have going on. That’s it’s own separate video lol
It is y'all fault, they don't force y'all too do anything
It's just not the same, I try playing at a slow pace and the animations are still uncontrollable.
I may have to say 25 is worst then 18. 18 issue was lag and its was the first year of the city so alot of glitches and city issue. Which made park for alot of people unplayable. At that point in time park was the main seller. Actully 18 kind pushed people to PRO AM. Thats why 18 was not terrible. Rec and Pro Am were extra legit.
Now 25 is another monster. Park, Rec, Proving Groungs, Pro Am, seasons, lag, animations, player control, shooting, slashing, limited dribbking, etc is a issue.
Great vid and solid points. We been getting betas for years! I just wish people would stop spending money on this game! Only way we will see real change
Imagine just needing a battery for a car… and deciding to completely rebuild the motor only to find it still won’t crank. Fix the issues big and small to maximize the platform before implementing a new one. That simple. Also I feel like the game is so slow because it’s way too many variables at play. Like have u ever had an open shot and it feels like it’s an intentional hitch or lag in ur shot that not supposed to be there. I just feel like that the game way of saying u won’t make this no matter what… and it’s always slightly late. Get a set number of badges per category a small amount like 5-6 for each playmaking finishing defense rebounding and physicals. Rebounding no longer offensive and defensive. If ur short with a high rebound that should weigh very heavily on ur builder. Strength on guards capped according to height. Just simple stuff that they never think of. Like this year did they think people wasn’t gonna come out with overly short guards with 90+ strength if u make it where they can have several legend badges? Nothing against small guards but speed should be their only advantage… nope they going into paint and getting bully animations on 7 footers for layups in the beginning… but then make a 7fter miss a layup on defense. The game has lost all logic… at this point just give everyone access to all the animations and call it even…
2k5-2k11 were the best years in the series idc what anybody says!
The more animations they add, the more gameplay has to slow down, so it seems. Slowly releasing the best animations and best cards is what keeps people making new builds and buying cards in myteam. This is my second year of day 1 purchase and getting nbatv. I have nothing to compare it to. I just wanted a new nba jam... EA disappoints me every year... Sit on the license and not do shit with it...
Imo the minute EA left the scene is when it all started to go down. 2ks best years were 2k11, 2k16 and 2k20 imo. 2k desperately needs a competitor(s). I mean when you see diehard 2k fans going to play nba live 19...that says something. (And i think nba live 19 servers are still up)
My problem is I'm not looking to be marketed but asking friends and them being blind to insist it was a good game. Damn I'm a sucker. Someone needs to find a new job or something lol
2k, Madden and CoD all release unfinished products and it's a bunch of bugs and issues and they're all 70-150.00 and then the predatory micro transactions😢.
My career should be a separate game mode like war zone in COD. My career should be free and we can dump our money into the game.
The game is really a trash basketball game hit 5 3Point one game and next game can't not 1, 3Point and nobody there when shooting 3ball.
