We are the problem! We buy a mediocre game and complain it’s mediocre, at this point we can’t even blame 2k no more😂 If I had a sucka who would buy the same product 5 years in a row, why get mad at the hustler
I'm with you it's the community that help 2k make bad games if we all banned together and stop playing it they wouldn't have a choice but to fix it but we cant do that
@@fatmoney555especially when there are free modes to play. On 2k24 I played the 5$ tourneys and won 1000$ b4 25 came out. I hope they bring the money tournaments back.
Naw that's cap. There are dummies who literally can't see the big picture. I'll make another build for $150... It ain't going to hurt anyone because I'm only 1 person. 🥴
@@boiboiiii1991 Actually, they do force you. It costs over 300k VC to build one player to at least a 95. If you play an 82 game career season at approximately 1k VC a game, it would take more than 5 seasons of playing MyCareer games to build one player, just to be competitive. You would need to play over 410 games NOT SIMMED just to have ONE player that you could compete with in the city. So yes, they do force you.
Why as soon as the game is loaded up I have to back out of buying vc twice?!?! Like it’s literally the first thing you see when the game loads up. Then to get 2x rep you gotta BUY clothes?!?!! This is insanely aggressive! If I was a young boy playing this as much as I used to I would probably be in the hole .
I miss the way shooting was pre-patched because you have to actually learn your shots to make shots consistently. Now they made shooting way too easy. That’s why I keep losing to the people that aren’t that good.
EXACTLY. I put the work in to learn rhythm shooting to have an edge now they made rhythm shooting harder and button easier. Which imo is backwards. I should be rewarded for learning my jumper thoroughly
@@yukisensei8051 nah. Not how it should be. Not how real life works. Rhythm shooting had the advantage before patch. If you put the time in to learn your shooting then you would have been straight with wide opens using rhythm
@@danielgentry149 bum acts like I can’t comment on a channel that I follow.. yeah I haven’t played the game in a while . Doesn’t mean I can’t support the content of the 2K creators . You YN are mentally challenged.
Let me sum this up for all of you... 2K basketball is about you having an experience, and not gameplay. Much of what happens on screen you have very little control of the outcome. Multiple animations were added they said 9000 which means you get to see outcomes that you had no control of such as walking moving left and right the outcome of even the simplest interaction is scripted like when he bumps and stumbles and falls when you was just trying to walk and the Software pull you into the other player and triggered an animation of collision. You do not and never had for a long time, control over the outcome of what happens on screen. Many players get emotional over gameplay that is, in reality, scripted. If the line share of money is spent on marketing that tells an intelligent person that the developers are paid very little in comparison to produce a product that you can control. If the player has an experience that makes them feel more money would give them better control that is at the core the whole point of 2K development.
And this is why im still playing 2K24. As long as the community keeps shelling out millions of dollars for 2k, nothing is ever gonna change and I will not be buying another 2K until things change.
Shocking to see a bunch of dudes complaining about a company being a company and making money. 2k doesn’t require you dudes to spend anything after buying the game. You can grind and go 60-99 with no money spent, it just takes effort. People want instant gratification and you have to pay for that. Stop the complaining because yall gonna be on the game every single year. It’s got to be exhausting complaining about the same thing over and over yet coming back to it. Yall acting like battered women.
Finally someone who gets it. The game never forces you to buy anything but, guys are out there spending 1,000 dollars. Only to complain and say it’s the company’s fault like the community is always gonna look for someone to blame even though it’s there fault for spending so much money on it.
This just further proves that the internet isnt a real place and online discourse isnt representative of the majority. The great majority of the fanbase either isnt online or is online and silent
Yall trippin….It’s just a basketball ball game. Just hoop and stop crying every year. I did no money spent on my build and enjoyed every minute of it. I don’t want to hear AllCity talk about micro transactions anymore respectfully. You preach about No money spent but you don’t practice what you preach please stay out of others pockets when you yourself help take two get millions.

crazy how 24 and 25 is one of the most profitable 2ks , yet one of the most complained 2ks ever.In ngl i made about 10 builds last year just because i didnt feel like i could find my grooove on either build. I feel like this also leads to other players to do the same thing , spending money on different builds hoping to player better. this has to be intention , 2k sabatoging gameplay on purpose to encourage everyone to make different builds.
Of course man, for example you gave this company thousands of dollars this year. If a casual player gave 100$ and you spent at least 10 times that price who’s fault is it? Anyone can do whatever he wants with his money but please don’t release any more rant videos about money hungry 2k
Went for a pull up middy for a game winning shot from just inside the 3pt line (mid range is about 75% of my shots) and it dragged all the way to the paint for a floater. I honestly believe this is the worst year for the rng shit on both sides of the ball.
All City. On my life I was making less than 10k a year before I decided not to waste my time on 2k25. Played about 12 hours total and quit. Finally got a job and now I’m over 6 figs. Never again will I waste my time on this game and it makes me so happy. I just wish the games had the same love and attention to detail as they once did. Anyways I once quit 2k for 4 years. Hopefully this will be it for good.
HIGH SCHOOL BALLER: We create a Build, we start as a Freshman, we grind, play in leagues. Keep Stats, play with same fellas and grind for four seasons. By time your Toon is a Senior, upon graduation, he/she MUST move to the park and play in only Park Games and or Pro Am Based Leagues. We could seek out Famous Outdoor Parks, Gear can easily be obtained for purposes to use in the game. We can compete vs the NBA. Please get this idea to a game developer, I give it for free. 2k is never going to change, the COMMUNITY is an issue. This game play in the REC is absurd. The penalty for folks quitting needs to be extreme, losing Badge Levels should be... the main deter quitting. PLUS, nobody can play the damn PG.

The thing that pisses me off the most is not even me missing shot it s the fact that bots clicking square think they nice with whites and late going in and real player percentage bailing them out when they take a bad shot. I just cant do it anymore it s like u are penalized when u are trying to play good basketball and they are rewarded for playing like bots.
The funny thing is people were asking for whites to go in again and that green or nothing was horrible . Now we miss it . 2k won’t listen if the community is saying it’s horrible but the numbers are in a positive trend
It goes to show the disconnect the "2k Community" has from the actual gaming community who play for the love of basketball and satisfy their competitive edge. For me it's the actual players behind the sticks that make it a great or terrible experience. All you can do is laugh at the goofiness when it happens. BTW "loose Balls" is an underrated trigger. lol
I wish 2K made more tournaments for average or above average people to play. Most tournaments cater towards Comp players who ruin it with cheating devices or are just miles ahead of the rest of us. But if they could make a tournament based off your win percentage keeping some of the try hards out, then normal people would have a chance of doing well or winning it. But people will always find a way to finesse the system and probably will just make a losing record build just for the tournament so they can go in there and dominate just like they did for “Boot Camp” 🥾
I don't believe the units sold numbers, I have a background in accounting and understand how those numbers can be worked. However, 80% of revenue comes from purchases after buying the game, which is very true. Most kids don't even play 2k anymore unless they actually hoop or have a parent who still plays. My younger cousins play Roblox, Fortnite, COD, and whatever live service/ RPG/ or JRPG is hot at the time. They get most of their money from people my age still holding on to the memory of when this game was still fair and good. None of these current sports games feel good or fun to play unless you're a casual. I've been hopping back into Madden and MLB The Show in the last 4 years just because I'm trash at the game but as a casual, I can have fun with the busted A.I. until I get better or find something else to play. As far as 2k I keep going back to 2k15, 17, and 19.
If everyone just limited the amount of $ you put into the game it would make a difference. This year I’ve put in money for 1 build only and just grind through the months till you have enough for build 2. Just need to remind yourself NOT to fall for spending on multiple builds like I have all these years (usually 3-5 builds) Unfortunately the only way to get your first build up is by buying VC but I can cop that knowing I won’t spend more then that on the game
ive played every 2K since the first NBA 2K, i play both MYTEAM AND MYCAREER. this is the first year that ive just stopped playing the game completely! i spend thousands every year on this game, but this year is the worst experience ive had in both modes, cards are inacessible more than ever in MYTEAM, you can spend $1000 on packs and not pull a damn diamond! a DIAMOND!!!!!!! MY CAREER just isnt fun, period, the grind is tedious with more sub par gameplay than ever! people wanted the AH back, well you got it! cards are so expensive its absurd! myteam rewards are absolutely a joke! the only way to send a message is to stop playing! im done with 2k25 and im alot happier! Just a miserable experience all around, and the way they spin these earnings calls to make it look to investors that thingsd are better than ever before, when theyre at an all time worst is just sickening, this game and this company is just toxic, and im not going to subject myself to it anymore!
I agree with 2k statistics but not the way they present it I think people put in their hours and money because it’s pay to win and to try to overcome rng
Nah buddy it’s not pay to win. I think a lot of people forget that 2k is a company that has thousands of employees that have salaries. you’re acting like the game can just be free when they have thousands of people working there who have to get paid, and 2k never forces you to buy vc or the other add ons. It is possible to do a no money spent it just takes time. A company can’t exist if it doesn’t make money. So yall need to stop complaining about a company being a company, and don’t play the game If you hate it so much.
I play 2k on some casual ish with my brother. The only problem I have (I'm sure I'd have more complaints but I literally only play with my bro on the same tv) is that I can't save my second controller settings on PC. The shooting is buns but we play with player% on.
I feel like they need to stop coming out with the game every year come out with the game every two years and do updates that way people don't have to lose their VC every year and you don't have to create a new build every year because 2424 is still going strong
It would be simple if, Brute and Jai Eazy literally just titled a video, STOP SPENDING VC ON 2K25, Im more than sure a majority of followers would follow suit, if you guys actually stopped and Boycotted the game. But it wont happen and we will continue to have go through these atrocities we deal with on a daily basis. I havent had fun on this game since last year. Its a shame what they did to this game. Me and my boys literally play 2 hours max and we call it a day. Too much RNG and the whole community hears us, 2k Labs and Koza Joey YT are the main ones who wont ever make a video describing how bad this game. Yet youtubers like you and Brute and Jai, sure do a good job of voicing your opinons. The only who really kind of iust likes to make the casual or random feel a little stupid is when you have Jai Eazy always responding with comments like, "Well you guys have been getting sold by randoms but me and crew are straight, or im having fun grinding this game and you arent, oh well." And dont say im reaching because ive watched Jai Eazy for over 4 years on youtube and he always has those responses. Other than that, i respect the grind n hustle. I spent too much money on this game already, ima chalk this year up as a L. I shouldnt have to worry about the timing of my jumpshot changing from game to game or lane steals from Ed Reed and Sean Taylor every game, bump steals off rebounds, loose deflected balls that land into the opposing teams hands right to a person in the corner and an instant green. The algorithim of this game is so easy to catch, they wont allow you to blow out a team the full game, AI's are still over powered yet when theyre on my team they shoot worse than Tony Snell Blindfolded. I can go on and on, this game is the worst 2k of all time😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s really a dirty underhanded tactic. 80% of the revenue is coming from micro transactions. The game is pay to win so people are spending thousands of dollars to be competitive. Take 2 is a taking full advantage of
At this point all the UA-camrs thats not sucking 2k nuts need to tell their viewers/followers to not buy VC until they improve the game if we can get a lot of people on board with that they would be forced to fix the game because they care about money more than anything obviously and the only way to make them try is to hit em where it hurt which is their pockets
I have never commented on a post. But numbers don’t lie. We all love basketball and video games. There is no competition in this arena. 2k has us and they don’t care. I have made 13 builds this year and even though the game is choppy I still enjoy it. They got us bro. We just need to beg them to fix it each year and shut up. Cause we are spending and it’s not going to stop.
I've been playing 2k24 but when 2k25 came out, the Rec has been unplayable a few days out of the week due to being stuck on the Rec loading screen. I'm convinced it's a ploy by 2k.
Don’t get me wrong here I’m part of the problem just like all of us , BUT If you do things like continuously buy the game every year, Make multiple players at multiple positions, Subscribe and get a membership with 2k labs, See the formula this year that they LET YOU MAKE ANOTHER 99 IF YOU GRINDED A 99 so you can just drop $100 and have another build , If you do all those , how are you surprised they’re making the money they plan to make?
The game is unplayable for me. I constantly receive the following error: "A problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing." This problem is common amoung other PC users. Unfortunately, the support team did not answer my complaint. Fortunately, I bought the game at a 50% discount and did not invest $ in the build, so I only lost $40
I actually like the game.. I mostly play random rec but the micro transactions the shooting the builds are not the problem.. somebody always gonna have problems with it… the real problem is the players… the bad apples always ruin the bunch. The toxic ppl can never be fixed or patched. At the end of the day it’s a video game not real life.
I know that I’m in the minority, but I’m really enjoying 2K this year gameplay wise, so I do think that there is the value there for the initial game and maybe one to two bills the predatory practices the 2K is showing are definitely concerning and based on the numbers, I don’t see them making any change to that in the near future unfortunately as a community, we would all have to stick to our guns when it comes to spending. I just don’t see the UA-cam community and the casual community that doesn’t really deal on UA-cam doing that but at some point every bubble burst and only time will tell
How will they change when people spend more money on a mediocre release game play? As for me. I will not spend 1 dime! not even buying the game. I will wait until its free and then I probably still wont play at all. I despise greedy companies!
More casuals play this game than comp, it’s time for this neighborhood to be its own game! I told u this last time, this mode destroyed 2k you and I know this plus couple other things, and 2k will always be successful due to who owns them u feel me
Ya hold out and not buy till they listen to us or stopping the pay to win. Ya not going to so they gonna do what they gonna do. Im OG 2k Dreamcast player and I feel my time is ending on this game. My opinion
Action speak louder than words, no one should preorder the game and wait a month before buying, then Mike and the higher ups might actually listen to us
It's a great game. You will always have critics. This is the best 2k I ever played. If you play too much, of course it will suck for you. Too much of anything is bad. Take the game for what it is. If you not doing it for a living, then what's the problem.
I miss hands up defense defending the shot... and open dunks with a defender on your hip gets a strip... so dumb. and give me back my layup and dunk meters pleaseeeee

The thing that pisses me off the most is not even me missing shot it s the fact that bots clicking square think they nice with whites and late going in and real player percentage bailing them out when they take a bad shot. I just cant do it anymore it s like u are penalized when u are trying to play good basketball and they are rewarded for playing like bots.
The funny thing is people were asking for whites to go in again and that green or nothing was horrible . Now we miss it . 2k won’t listen if the community is saying it’s horrible but the numbers are in a positive trend
2k26. Each green release shot will cost you 1000vc 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It goes to show the disconnect the "2k Community" has from the actual gaming community who play for the love of basketball and satisfy their competitive edge. For me it's the actual players behind the sticks that make it a great or terrible experience. All you can do is laugh at the goofiness when it happens. BTW "loose Balls" is an underrated trigger. lol
"Money that you guys spent" 😂😂 nooooo money that you spent
4.5 million copies is only 50% of what 2k24 sold. The majority of sales for this game already happened. Something’s off.
They destroyed rythim shooting. It's so inconsistent and the latency on it is BROKEN
Its bcuz every1 wanted them first set of cap breakers .. every1 is slowing down on playing now bcuz .1 rep with 2x rep is crazy idc if im starter 5
I wish 2K made more tournaments for average or above average people to play. Most tournaments cater towards Comp players who ruin it with cheating devices or are just miles ahead of the rest of us. But if they could make a tournament based off your win percentage keeping some of the try hards out, then normal people would have a chance of doing well or winning it. But people will always find a way to finesse the system and probably will just make a losing record build just for the tournament so they can go in there and dominate just like they did for “Boot Camp” 🥾
I don't believe the units sold numbers, I have a background in accounting and understand how those numbers can be worked. However, 80% of revenue comes from purchases after buying the game, which is very true. Most kids don't even play 2k anymore unless they actually hoop or have a parent who still plays. My younger cousins play Roblox, Fortnite, COD, and whatever live service/ RPG/ or JRPG is hot at the time. They get most of their money from people my age still holding on to the memory of when this game was still fair and good. None of these current sports games feel good or fun to play unless you're a casual. I've been hopping back into Madden and MLB The Show in the last 4 years just because I'm trash at the game but as a casual, I can have fun with the busted A.I. until I get better or find something else to play. As far as 2k I keep going back to 2k15, 17, and 19.
If everyone just limited the amount of $ you put into the game it would make a difference. This year I’ve put in money for 1 build only and just grind through the months till you have enough for build 2. Just need to remind yourself NOT to fall for spending on multiple builds like I have all these years (usually 3-5 builds) Unfortunately the only way to get your first build up is by buying VC but I can cop that knowing I won’t spend more then that on the game
I feel the same way about ppl using 90-99 3ball I don’t respect it, 2k and Badges definitely holding your hand.
I love them cuz I rip them on ball the most. Like I say every time I guard one. All that dribbling get you ripped
When you have streamers buying 8 builds you get these results.
ive played every 2K since the first NBA 2K, i play both MYTEAM AND MYCAREER. this is the first year that ive just stopped playing the game completely! i spend thousands every year on this game, but this year is the worst experience ive had in both modes, cards are inacessible more than ever in MYTEAM, you can spend $1000 on packs and not pull a damn diamond! a DIAMOND!!!!!!! MY CAREER just isnt fun, period, the grind is tedious with more sub par gameplay than ever! people wanted the AH back, well you got it! cards are so expensive its absurd! myteam rewards are absolutely a joke! the only way to send a message is to stop playing! im done with 2k25 and im alot happier! Just a miserable experience all around, and the way they spin these earnings calls to make it look to investors that thingsd are better than ever before, when theyre at an all time worst is just sickening, this game and this company is just toxic, and im not going to subject myself to it anymore!
With all this profit they are making I am stumped as to why another developer is not competing for that money. At the end people just want to hoop
I agree with 2k statistics but not the way they present it I think people put in their hours and money because it’s pay to win and to try to overcome rng
Nah buddy it’s not pay to win. I think a lot of people forget that 2k is a company that has thousands of employees that have salaries. you’re acting like the game can just be free when they have thousands of people working there who have to get paid, and 2k never forces you to buy vc or the other add ons. It is possible to do a no money spent it just takes time. A company can’t exist if it doesn’t make money. So yall need to stop complaining about a company being a company, and don’t play the game If you hate it so much.
I play 2k on some casual ish with my brother. The only problem I have (I'm sure I'd have more complaints but I literally only play with my bro on the same tv) is that I can't save my second controller settings on PC. The shooting is buns but we play with player% on.
I feel like they need to stop coming out with the game every year come out with the game every two years and do updates that way people don't have to lose their VC every year and you don't have to create a new build every year because 2424 is still going strong
I didn’t get it this year and my friends uninstalled the game and I hear other players say the game is trash lol I see them back on 24 and 23 😂
Marketing is the issue how can you pay for people creating false highs and a bad product.
2k Finesseing us
It would be simple if, Brute and Jai Eazy literally just titled a video, STOP SPENDING VC ON 2K25, Im more than sure a majority of followers would follow suit, if you guys actually stopped and Boycotted the game. But it wont happen and we will continue to have go through these atrocities we deal with on a daily basis. I havent had fun on this game since last year. Its a shame what they did to this game. Me and my boys literally play 2 hours max and we call it a day. Too much RNG and the whole community hears us, 2k Labs and Koza Joey YT are the main ones who wont ever make a video describing how bad this game. Yet youtubers like you and Brute and Jai, sure do a good job of voicing your opinons. The only who really kind of iust likes to make the casual or random feel a little stupid is when you have Jai Eazy always responding with comments like, "Well you guys have been getting sold by randoms but me and crew are straight, or im having fun grinding this game and you arent, oh well." And dont say im reaching because ive watched Jai Eazy for over 4 years on youtube and he always has those responses. Other than that, i respect the grind n hustle. I spent too much money on this game already, ima chalk this year up as a L. I shouldnt have to worry about the timing of my jumpshot changing from game to game or lane steals from Ed Reed and Sean Taylor every game, bump steals off rebounds, loose deflected balls that land into the opposing teams hands right to a person in the corner and an instant green. The algorithim of this game is so easy to catch, they wont allow you to blow out a team the full game, AI's are still over powered yet when theyre on my team they shoot worse than Tony Snell Blindfolded. I can go on and on, this game is the worst 2k of all time😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s really a dirty underhanded tactic. 80% of the revenue is coming from micro transactions. The game is pay to win so people are spending thousands of dollars to be competitive. Take 2 is a taking full advantage of
At this point all the UA-camrs thats not sucking 2k nuts need to tell their viewers/followers to not buy VC until they improve the game if we can get a lot of people on board with that they would be forced to fix the game because they care about money more than anything obviously and the only way to make them try is to hit em where it hurt which is their pockets
The whole community isn't on youtube. Plenty play offline and enjoy. 25 got a number of issues tho, not doubt
Bruh…. This teleport glitch gotta go… Mid dunk animation I got snatch blocked from the free throw line 🤦🏾♂️😂
I have never commented on a post. But numbers don’t lie. We all love basketball and video games. There is no competition in this arena. 2k has us and they don’t care. I have made 13 builds this year and even though the game is choppy I still enjoy it. They got us bro. We just need to beg them to fix it each year and shut up. Cause we are spending and it’s not going to stop.
I've been playing 2k24 but when 2k25 came out, the Rec has been unplayable a few days out of the week due to being stuck on the Rec loading screen. I'm convinced it's a ploy by 2k.
Whites going in frustrate me with this game! At least 2k24 its green or miss.
2k labs doesn't even have a jumpshot recommendation available for me ... yet 2 weeks ago same build it gave me one. What does this mean
Don’t get me wrong here I’m part of the problem just like all of us , BUT
If you do things like continuously buy the game every year,
Make multiple players at multiple positions,
Subscribe and get a membership with 2k labs,
See the formula this year that they LET YOU MAKE ANOTHER 99 IF YOU GRINDED A 99 so you can just drop $100 and have another build ,
If you do all those , how are you surprised they’re making the money they plan to make?
The game is unplayable for me. I constantly receive the following error: "A problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing." This problem is common amoung other PC users. Unfortunately, the support team did not answer my complaint. Fortunately, I bought the game at a 50% discount and did not invest $ in the build, so I only lost $40
And the same cycle will go on in 2k26,27,etc..
😂😂😂😂 you laughing killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ayo you gonna finish it off? PAUSE 😂😂 4:07
was thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
I actually like the game.. I mostly play random rec but the micro transactions the shooting the builds are not the problem.. somebody always gonna have problems with it… the real problem is the players… the bad apples always ruin the bunch. The toxic ppl can never be fixed or patched. At the end of the day it’s a video game not real life.
I know that I’m in the minority, but I’m really enjoying 2K this year gameplay wise, so I do think that there is the value there for the initial game and maybe one to two bills the predatory practices the 2K is showing are definitely concerning and based on the numbers, I don’t see them making any change to that in the near future unfortunately as a community, we would all have to stick to our guns when it comes to spending. I just don’t see the UA-cam community and the casual community that doesn’t really deal on UA-cam doing that but at some point every bubble burst and only time will tell
How will they change when people spend more money on a mediocre release game play? As for me. I will not spend 1 dime! not even buying the game. I will wait until its free and then I probably still wont play at all. I despise greedy companies!
More casuals play this game than comp, it’s time for this neighborhood to be its own game! I told u this last time, this mode destroyed 2k you and I know this plus couple other things, and 2k will always be successful due to who owns them u feel me
Lol it helped them put that $160 VC pack compared to $100
The cap breakers got mfs playing fasho
Idk man I’m honestly having alot of fun with this years 2K
IT TAKES NO SKILL TO PLAY THIS GAME.
It's all about the numbers 😢
Only because they don't have any competition 😂 ppl who get fleeced every single year for this game has no reason to complain.
Ya hold out and not buy till they listen to us or stopping the pay to win. Ya not going to so they gonna do what they gonna do. Im OG 2k Dreamcast player and I feel my time is ending on this game. My opinion
Yeah bro me too im bout to just give it up last year i stopped playing season 2 it looks like its about to happen again this game is cheeks
Action speak louder than words, no one should preorder the game and wait a month before buying, then Mike and the higher ups might actually listen to us
Same people complaining about the game got 7 99 overall builds. SMH I like 25 but I y’all want change STOP BUYING VC. Damn yall dumb.
It’s called 2k because they tryna get $2k out of all of us 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
It's a great game. You will always have critics. This is the best 2k I ever played. If you play too much, of course it will suck for you. Too much of anything is bad. Take the game for what it is. If you not doing it for a living, then what's the problem.
I miss hands up defense defending the shot... and open dunks with a defender on your hip gets a strip... so dumb. and give me back my layup and dunk meters pleaseeeee
