I really don’t understand why the fix isn’t to make it so that high risk has 0 rng, while medium and low risk do. That keeps both the casual players who struggle to shoot with small green windows happy, as well as give an option for really good players (on high risk) to be able to shoot very well without being forced to miss because of RNG
Uh no it doesn't because on low risk you're lucky to even get 30% from the arc so we don't want rng either. Especially us offline players that shoot with multiple players. I'm cool with a smaller green window, the rng is annoying.
Truly I’ve gotten frustrated with 2k there’s way to many issues heres just 5 1. Screens that suck you into em no even when you trying to avoid them, people even move during the screen and don’t get illegal screen called 2. Contest system SUCKS . Mike wang said you have to jump to get contests… then they changed it again thinking nobody would notice ….. its still bad 3. Interior defense is so random and doesn’t make sense. My big man jumps on a big? Light pressure , open , wide open.. but a guard gets a tight or very tight with no interior defense. 4. The dunk meter … it’s pointless this year someone can have 99 driving dunk and get canceled dunk animations due to a reach from a 5’9 or how about the fact that we can’t even see a green window on the meter itself. Then people cancel your animations clearly foul you and there’s no foul 5. Server issues … why we even still having that when we be been on next gen for so long. People getting banned for lagging out of games is totally not fair . Lastly we pay all this money and we as the 2k community get the bare minimum stuff. And people are satisfied. It’s 2ks fault but it’s also the community as a whole. But 2k definitely isn’t a good game . I remember being able to play the game all day, now? Max 2 hours even with a full team .
Stupid out of bounds violation when someone has a foot out, but patches a pass and is now totally in bounds. Also happens when someone dribbles near the line when clearly wasn't out
Losing teammate grade for getting dunked is crazy…. I tried to play defense and lose teammate grade, would love to know the thought process behind that.
@@kelis1768listen here back in my day you lost teammate grade for cursing in game chat you also loss teammate grade for greening contested reds and for your opponent stand inches away from you 🤣 they’ve came along way… but yea help defense should never hurt your grades
@@K_D_Athen have those classic meters for Dunk Meter only, or fr just bring all the classic meters back, im sick of cheaters but we (Us Normal Players) shouldnt get handicaped with the meters
Appreciate the way you articulate your points and provide counter arguments/different perspectives. I think this is just part of an overall trend within video games man. Developers are so concerned with protecting the casual/below average player. They know their dedicated fans will buy the game and spend money on BC regardless. I just play rec, it’s so obvious how differently the game starts to feel when you’re winning big. 2k prevents you from getting lose balls, the other team starts banging whites over and over, it’s just rediculous man.
To the point about the shooting RNG, I had games where I shot 15/15 from 3 in random rec between both games. (All wide open btw) During each shot I noticed it change from normal speed, sped up, and really slow. I don’t think they make you miss directly, but I definitely do think they try to throw a curveball at you if you’re shooting well
Forgot to add that as a whole I shoot 57% which is the same percentage I shot last year. Could’ve been higher but I honestly took a while to learn the green or miss mechanic since I skipped 2K23
@@PierreRembert sounds like it’s a 2k problem that needs to be fixed then. This the only game that suffers lag or any sort of delay at this level. Even on a wired connection I get straight up booted with no warning
If they really increased the skill dunk its irrelevant cause to actually have it play out is the problem 90 percent of the time your getting taking out of the meter regardless if you beat the defender have a clear lane the amount of wtf in this game is the reason ppl hate this game the rewards the builder are on point but the amount bs you deal with per game gameplay wise is what makes this game horrible
Seriously feel like the RNG is just a cover for blatant scripting. 2k has a real interest in keeping every game competitive. The call of duty comparison was spot on. It’s the same shit
It’s been that way since last year if you run solo and are decent think about how many ass players your get on your team and it’s always when you’re playing against someone who’s at least decent as you and you lose look at their stats they 0 or they quit out it’s all EOMM it’s matching good players with the low tiers so it’s like we all have “competition in games”
If 2k made defense top tier like it should be cheaters won’t be a problem. A person with good defense “should” be able to prevent even a perfectly timed shot.
The game is absolute garbage until they fix so many things about it that I can’t even count. The mere fact that people don’t have to time their shot is beyond the pale. I ranked way up in play now online and I usually win. That doesn’t make it any less excruciating to barely hang on to a lead against the most basic and lame players because defense is worthless. And the game gives them open shots, trying hard to force a tie, I swear. And if it’s not open, then they’ll hit a white while fully contested if the game chooses lmao. they honestly deserve a class action lawsuit for this Mario kart gambling bullshit. And literally selling gambling to kids in modes like my team.
The fact that you can't even try to play the game without the pro pass buy now popping up was where they crossed the line from savy marketing to predatory bs
Nobody would be needing to glitch a damn thing if they didn’t gatekeep behind a damn rep level… I should be able to get any sig I want from the start it’s that simple
Forget all that what are we not seeing increase in vc per game 🤣 everyone should have 400k minimum if they play and are past lvl30 in the pass it’s disgusting but imma be on later though…
I’m a 6’8 PF. 246 lbs, 85 strength, 71 interior, 86 vert. I spot A LOT of people from making dunk animations and change many from dunks to layups. I belive it has to be my strength and weight because my interior is “low” and my height is average.
Dunking got the craziest rng fr for a person thats mad a slasher every year and knowing how the dunk meter works for you to go up and miss a basically wide open dunk even without meter is crazy even with the 99driving/99standing
I haven't played in 2 months and started playing MMO's which im not really a fan of. But playing Throne and Liberty and loving it. I'm on a MMO binge right now, anime games etc. Leave 2k you'll find happiness again, I promise.
This game is not realistic in the slightest it’s not realistic for me to miss a open layup or to miss a poster cuz the defender I’m dunking on is under the basket or for a defender to slide 5 feet to steal the ball from me on a open lay or when a ball handler dribbles the ball directly into me and doesn’t lose it or when the ball gets thrown straight at me but I can’t steal it or when I play perfect defense just for them to make a insanely contested shot or when I play perfect defense and just don’t get contest I could honestly write a book about how unrealistic this game is
The best way to fix rng is every other difficulty besides high risk reward should be able to have a meter and rng exists but high risk should be no rng or meter and I feel like that would be the best option 🙌🏼
lol this is perfect until you remember it’s a lot of people who use meter for dunks and layups or free throws only wouldn’t have a place to sit and then that nullifies the dunk meter and now EVERYONE IS RNG
I don't really play 2k much anymore. The ONLY reason I'm playin is to get to starter 3... (I'm at starter 2) mayb twice a week.. been playin marvel rivals
I strongly believe that people who only have good things to say about 2k are just showing fake love or being sarcastic because there's no way you love everything about 2k this year.
Ngl I really love these news videos lol I be listening to em like they podcasts onna radio 😭😭😭and I don’t even play this game fr anymore but I always like to hear ppl feedback and news onnit
Ngl, I’ve tried to give this game a chance, but it’s truly trash. 2K24’s gameplay and logic was the best 2K has ever been in terms of an overall package-all they had to do was remove badge regression and implement some of the QOL updates in 2K25. 2K25: - Ruined badges - Ruined finesse layups & dunk meters - Ruined shooting - Ruined the contest system - Ruined interior defense / Blocks - Made steals insanely overpowered - Floaty ass perimeter defense - Dribbling and movement are pure ass and the most unresponsive it’s been in years - Made Builds cost a DISRESPECTFUL and PREDATORY amount of VC Not even GM mode/MyNBA is good. Truly the worst it’s ever been. 2K25 just sucks. Period.
My theory was also Correct about the meter dunking. It is height. I was questioning that since week 2 of the game. I can feel the difference when playing on my 2 guard than on my 6”8 swing with high dunking.
Literally every 2k that recently drop “is the worst 2k” people need to understand that games will no longer be the same like they was in the past. Yes there is bugs in the game that can be annoying but at the same time, what do you really expect when they have to totally different platforms playing together.
I’ve been saying this all year, this game is made for cheaters to have fun. 2k wants people with money to have the most fun. The rest of us actual basketball fans will make builds regardless of how bad the game is cuz we love basketball. It’s those cheaters who can afford $100 a month they’re targeting who can literally pay to get to higher levels, glitch animations etc. 2k rakes in money from those people. The faster we realize 2k is only in it for the money, the faster we can unite as a community and reduce our spending on the game so they can actually be enticed to fix these things. The only language 2k knows is money. They want us to be numb and get on every year and just mindlessly spend money. Don’t get numb, spend less. No point in trying to be so good and have the best build on a game that’s so broken
I’m an avid video game player and 2k is one of those games that I can pick up and play no matter how many years I’ve not played and still be better than 80% of the community. This year it just feels like certain games I’m not “the chosen one” I had a 5’9 do standing dunks through my body and contested lays (without layup timing) all game and he had 30 from just that. It’s like if you don’t have a 99 three they want you to shoot 50% from 3 every game. This is the only 2k I’ve had so many bad games and ik I sound like the rest of the community but I swear it’s not me😂
really feel like shooting isn’t a hard fix. Green window should change based on difficulty and get bigger the easier the mode. Contesting shots should be the same way. The contest circle should get bigger the higher the difficulty (i.e. all contest circles expand 5-10% the higher the difficulty). I think the biggest issue rn is cheaters because they are the main reason rng exists. when they had the pure green window shooting was genuinely balanced and the great players could shoot 70+% and the casuals could shoot in the 40-50 range. Hearing that they don’t even ban players and they just “reset” their accounts is bs .
26:50 I llike to call it the “rubberband method” It keeps everyone on somewhat on an even playing field despite stats, more often than not. Then we find out about busted sliders from a 3rd party source, which is more under-the-hood information that 2k prosecutor purposefully gatekeeps
I saved my wallet and mental health by stepping away from this game. Even my lady says she don't like it because I don't look like I am having fun anymore.
You got to have a edge controller honestly and for hours tweak the joysticks to where you can create and use your own motion of the joystick to hit that green
Inconsistent shooting at high ratings, shifty shots not being taken, bunch of trolls, centers who have no inside scoring or 3, contests without arms being up still saying tight with arms being up saying wide open. I’m not saying it’s a bad game, I’m saying this is what you signed up for. Leaving is up to you but fr bruh if we say nothing about the game and treat it as a skill issue when are we gonna accept that Mike Wang doesn’t understand the game or what’s going down?
Shot 60%+ from 3 last year this year I’m shooting just over 50%. Rough shooting year and idk how they’re gonna say it’s to make it more realistic when mid-range fades are the highest percentage shots😂
@ I know shooting and just gameplay is so mid in every area. Rewards are amazing it’s just annoying when 2k harps about trying to make it more realistic but the “meta” this year is far from that.
Just played a dude yesterday and he mad because the game kept giving me the Giannis standing dunk animation,,my 2 guard has a 95 strength and 82 standing dunks I look at his build his build was 70 strength and standing dunks was 65 I think...like no shit u cant get these animations but he kept saying the game is trash
High risk has a set optimal green zone (plus additional boost) when you time your release correctly (without a shot metre). Since 24’ personally, I find it more respectable seeing perfect green releases go in the basket. White releases for jump shots (the slightly late/early) make no sense online now. Layups and dunks are fair. But it’s still your own preference, just play what feels best for you. If you have latency, normal risk might be the better pick.
@@laszlokiss483 it's still going to brick wide open shots.. that's the community argument the jump shots don't matter anymore this game will let you hit b.s and make you miss perfectly timed shots
Do you understand the shooting aspect of the game could be fixed by having high risk have a PURE green window (even if it is smaller) and leave normal risk, low risk where it is and see what happens to the game then.
It's comical that this game that you can only play for a year or two has been out for months and it's seemingly not even finished. You guys are better off just setting your money on fire.
I jumped on Today for the first time in a couple weeks got my ankles broken 5 times with a 96 perimeter and the other team were ripping steals and half court lane steals on our team all over again I straight got off f this game lmao.
99 whatever bruh idc the game is as good as a restaurant that had good food one day and fucked up the same dish the next. 2k game developers probably order DoorDash, they can’t cook for shit.
Majority of the 2K community is the worst. Complain about everything. People want something different every game, then the changes happen and people complain when they make things different. Is 25 good? No, it's an ok game. I have zero expectations each year, that way I'm not disappointed. Personally as a randoms only player, what makes this game frustrating is the community. People will happily go 2/15 and then act like they're 2Ks version of Steph Curry. Although I will add, the inconsistent shooting is weird, but it's not frustrating, but it does make me laugh when I can't hit a catch and shoot corner 3, but then I can run from the paint to the corner and do a turn around fade from 3 and hit it like it's nothing.
Has the rythme shooting been nerfed a bit bc i feel like i was shooting a lot better with the stick season 1 and at the beginning of season 2 than right now
Would rather have an 8/10 realistic game with very good gameplay mechanics than a 10/10 realistic with botched mechanics and I’m sure u agree with me too lol. (Common sense should be common)
On 24 I was a 70% 3pt in the rec with my center only a 78 3 so Ill keep using the excuse that's it's this game cuz I've never had a problem shooting in any 2k with no meter I can't even go lights out in mycareer lol
Hey badgepplug hopefully you will see this. But you a totally correct about the higher your height the more chance of getting a dunk. Because I have a 7 foot big with a 99 standing and 80 vertical and I hardly get dunks. I tried using stick and square( ps5) and I mostly get lays. I be wide open in the paint and still get a layup. But I made this 7’3 big with a 90 standing dunk and 73 vertical and I get a dunk almost everytime in the paint. It abuses 7’1 bigs with high interior and block. But I just think that’s crazy because my other big should be getting hella dunk with legend rise up.
I have said that so many times this year like it felt like I wasn’t even controlling my player bro I thought I was tripping I have never said that before in no other 2k but honesty sometimes it feels like my controller got overtook by a ghost or something weather that’s random moves being made rss as random movements jumping not contesting and so much more
Badge your not the only one trying to get a game fixed if u don’t know there’s a cod UA-camr by the name of blame truth who has also been fighting battles against the boo-boo ahh companies that keep giving us trash games/updates & I just wanna say keep speaking up like this he (blametruth) alone literally rallied the entire cod community & is trying to get ish fixed & now there community is leaving the games in droves literally killing it so cods gonna have a choice to either listen to there players now or it’s really gonna finally end
Imo pro play is buns. It was easier to dribble more realistically when people were doing the cheesiest stuffs. I remember in 2k20 people were cheesing like crazy and I didn’t really know how to and I didn’t care fr cause dribbling regularly was just as good. This game you gotta wait for animations and stuff to play out it just feels nasty dribbling like I HAVE to speed boost
The game isn't perfect but it is definitely more fun than 24. The cap breakers was a good addition for reward but still not enough. Season rewards should be better. Sick of 2k giving MT cards trying to force people to play MT just to make money. Get rid of MT cards, release animations, arm sleeves and just give clothes, boost and vc as rewards and good to go. Bring back build diversity and make builds and clothing items in the stores more affordable and I think more people would play the game.
badge please touch on EOMM that would be a great topic for a vid. Another thing you said there's a script that quits for you so its not a lost, is that why i play so many people when i score 19 they just stop moving and during the win scene it says they left ?
I really don’t understand why the fix isn’t to make it so that high risk has 0 rng, while medium and low risk do. That keeps both the casual players who struggle to shoot with small green windows happy, as well as give an option for really good players (on high risk) to be able to shoot very well without being forced to miss because of RNG
The whole reason for any rng is to try and patch zens. They make it worse for everyone
Been said it 💯
they WANT rng, to bring the top down and the bottom up , they want everyone in the same pond , sickening ...
Pin worthy comment‼️‼️‼️
Uh no it doesn't because on low risk you're lucky to even get 30% from the arc so we don't want rng either. Especially us offline players that shoot with multiple players.
I'm cool with a smaller green window, the rng is annoying.
All they had to do was put out the same version of 2k24 with cap breakers nobody would complain

Not to mention every time you run next anyone you get bumped and stumble unable to move for a second

The lies you tell
It’s one of the better 2k’s I actually enjoy

they fr need a new dunk meter visual cuz the dial and arrow are god awful

2K25 just sucks. Period.
I miss 2k23 2 years of trash 🗑️
That gianis crossover bussin in the background I’m finna go make me a 6’10😂
My theory was also Correct about the meter dunking. It is height. I was questioning that since week 2 of the game. I can feel the difference when playing on my 2 guard than on my 6”8 swing with high dunking.
Literally every 2k that recently drop “is the worst 2k” people need to understand that games will no longer be the same like they was in the past. Yes there is bugs in the game that can be annoying but at the same time, what do you really expect when they have to totally different platforms playing together.
A game that doesn't practically expire after a year or two would be nice.
I’ve been saying this all year, this game is made for cheaters to have fun. 2k wants people with money to have the most fun. The rest of us actual basketball fans will make builds regardless of how bad the game is cuz we love basketball. It’s those cheaters who can afford $100 a month they’re targeting who can literally pay to get to higher levels, glitch animations etc. 2k rakes in money from those people. The faster we realize 2k is only in it for the money, the faster we can unite as a community and reduce our spending on the game so they can actually be enticed to fix these things. The only language 2k knows is money. They want us to be numb and get on every year and just mindlessly spend money. Don’t get numb, spend less. No point in trying to be so good and have the best build on a game that’s so broken
I’m an avid video game player and 2k is one of those games that I can pick up and play no matter how many years I’ve not played and still be better than 80% of the community. This year it just feels like certain games I’m not “the chosen one” I had a 5’9 do standing dunks through my body and contested lays (without layup timing) all game and he had 30 from just that. It’s like if you don’t have a 99 three they want you to shoot 50% from 3 every game. This is the only 2k I’ve had so many bad games and ik I sound like the rest of the community but I swear it’s not me😂
really feel like shooting isn’t a hard fix. Green window should change based on difficulty and get bigger the easier the mode. Contesting shots should be the same way. The contest circle should get bigger the higher the difficulty (i.e. all contest circles expand 5-10% the higher the difficulty). I think the biggest issue rn is cheaters because they are the main reason rng exists. when they had the pure green window shooting was genuinely balanced and the great players could shoot 70+% and the casuals could shoot in the 40-50 range. Hearing that they don’t even ban players and they just “reset” their accounts is bs .
Honestly every game has its bugs but it’s just the casual player complaining about not being able to cheese the game

I llike to call it the “rubberband method”
It keeps everyone on somewhat on an even playing field despite stats, more often than not. Then we find out about busted sliders from a 3rd party source, which is more under-the-hood information that 2k prosecutor purposefully gatekeeps
Hot fixes constantly go out that’s why your shot is never consistent I think it’s this way more than the RNG theory
Honestly i think ima hop back on 24
I saved my wallet and mental health by stepping away from this game. Even my lady says she don't like it because I don't look like I am having fun anymore.
I’d like to know why 2k18 was the worst 2k ever. It never felt even close to being a bad game
You got to have a edge controller honestly and for hours tweak the joysticks to where you can create and use your own motion of the joystick to hit that green
I played a rec game, the other team had AI player (85 overall) as point guard that had 100 ball handle, 97 3point, 93 drivin dunk and 91 steal
They count boosts for the ai
@cmoney2379 oh I didn't know
Dude on low risk went 12/18 from 3 in a game only greening 2 of them. And 2 of the releases were early timing.
2k no where near the hardest game to pick up and play
People saying Steph shooting 40 sth percent in nba should find out the field goal % he made when he’s open
Yo y nobody talk bout the weekly go kart ish it’s the same people on top every week do they really get 1mill vc a week?
I literally stopped playing second month but I always watch ur vids. This game is done sadly, glad it’s gone. Don’t wanna see it again
Inconsistent shooting at high ratings, shifty shots not being taken, bunch of trolls, centers who have no inside scoring or 3, contests without arms being up still saying tight with arms being up saying wide open. I’m not saying it’s a bad game, I’m saying this is what you signed up for. Leaving is up to you but fr bruh if we say nothing about the game and treat it as a skill issue when are we gonna accept that Mike Wang doesn’t understand the game or what’s going down?
Shot 60%+ from 3 last year this year I’m shooting just over 50%. Rough shooting year and idk how they’re gonna say it’s to make it more realistic when mid-range fades are the highest percentage shots😂
@Alex_Ward3 I’m shooting 65% in the rec but I still miss wide open it’s so annoying
@ I know shooting and just gameplay is so mid in every area. Rewards are amazing it’s just annoying when 2k harps about trying to make it more realistic but the “meta” this year is far from that.
@@EzKindaNice-2kwhat talk Jumpshot? Cause I was shooting 60% then my shit just started declining

Honestly I like 2k25 I feel like ppl complain to much nothing in this world 🌎 is perfect 👌
Are we going to talk about how all of a sudden elite players are up on the leaderboards [E]51%-[R]50% this doesn’t make sense
No cash out and Enzo
Just played a dude yesterday and he mad because the game kept giving me the Giannis standing dunk animation,,my 2 guard has a 95 strength and 82 standing dunks I look at his build his build was 70 strength and standing dunks was 65 I think...like no shit u cant get these animations but he kept saying the game is trash
So should I be using high risk or normal risk reward?
High risk only bro. Normal and low risk shooting is for Bums
high
High risk has a set optimal green zone (plus additional boost) when you time your release correctly (without a shot metre). Since 24’ personally, I find it more respectable seeing perfect green releases go in the basket. White releases for jump shots (the slightly late/early) make no sense online now. Layups and dunks are fair.
But it’s still your own preference, just play what feels best for you. If you have latency, normal risk might be the better pick.
This my worst shooting year ever on 2k. NBA 2k23 was shooting 56% from 3
if you're rocking a tall guard you absolutely have to try this jumpshot
KCP Base
Kobe Bryant Release 1
KCP Release 2
50/50 blend full speed
Boo hoooo
@@luddaa9157 what’s a good base for a 6’9 and 6’11 under
@@laszlokiss483 need one for 6’9 - 6’10 pf
@@laszlokiss483 it's still going to brick wide open shots.. that's the community argument the jump shots don't matter anymore this game will let you hit b.s and make you miss perfectly timed shots
Not him saying 2k is one the hardest sports ahahah
Do you understand the shooting aspect of the game could be fixed by having high risk have a PURE green window (even if it is smaller) and leave normal risk, low risk where it is and see what happens to the game then.
I’ll say what you scared to say. “2k is ass but I’m getting paid off 2k videos so I’m sugar coating how bad it really is!!!”
Very numb to the pain , I’ve seen people shoot 10/10 from half court
It’s a scam cause we pay good money for all our attributes to work
2k22 was peak shooting
If only it was green or miss
Ngl after patch 1 I’ve stopped playing the game was perfect the first month the game came out.
It's comical that this game that you can only play for a year or two has been out for months and it's seemingly not even finished. You guys are better off just setting your money on fire.
They buffed the dunks
It can't be the worst 2k ever because every year you hear the same year after year an you giving your money too
I jumped on Today for the first time in a couple weeks got my ankles broken 5 times with a 96 perimeter and the other team were ripping steals and half court lane steals on our team all over again I straight got off f this game lmao.
99 whatever bruh idc the game is as good as a restaurant that had good food one day and fucked up the same dish the next. 2k game developers probably order DoorDash, they can’t cook for shit.
Majority of the 2K community is the worst. Complain about everything. People want something different every game, then the changes happen and people complain when they make things different. Is 25 good? No, it's an ok game.
I have zero expectations each year, that way I'm not disappointed. Personally as a randoms only player, what makes this game frustrating is the community. People will happily go 2/15 and then act like they're 2Ks version of Steph Curry.
Although I will add, the inconsistent shooting is weird, but it's not frustrating, but it does make me laugh when I can't hit a catch and shoot corner 3, but then I can run from the paint to the corner and do a turn around fade from 3 and hit it like it's nothing.
Bc it’s a horrible game, and just bc they said they changed things doesn’t mean they did, however some people do overdo the complaining
Has the rythme shooting been nerfed a bit bc i feel like i was shooting a lot better with the stick season 1 and at the beginning of season 2 than right now
Bro ran out of content posting patch notes from the beginning of the season 💀
Would rather have an 8/10 realistic game with very good gameplay mechanics than a 10/10 realistic with botched mechanics and I’m sure u agree with me too lol. (Common sense should be common)
On 24 I was a 70% 3pt in the rec with my center only a 78 3 so Ill keep using the excuse that's it's this game cuz I've never had a problem shooting in any 2k with no meter I can't even go lights out in mycareer lol
What build is that
What controller do you use ?
Wow 51s ago
Hey badgepplug hopefully you will see this. But you a totally correct about the higher your height the more chance of getting a dunk. Because I have a 7 foot big with a 99 standing and 80 vertical and I hardly get dunks. I tried using stick and square( ps5) and I mostly get lays. I be wide open in the paint and still get a layup. But I made this 7’3 big with a 90 standing dunk and 73 vertical and I get a dunk almost everytime in the paint. It abuses 7’1 bigs with high interior and block. But I just think that’s crazy because my other big should be getting hella dunk with legend rise up.
I have said that so many times this year like it felt like I wasn’t even controlling my player bro I thought I was tripping I have never said that before in no other 2k but honesty sometimes it feels like my controller got overtook by a ghost or something weather that’s random moves being made rss as random movements jumping not contesting and so much more
Badge your not the only one trying to get a game fixed if u don’t know there’s a cod UA-camr by the name of blame truth who has also been fighting battles against the boo-boo ahh companies that keep giving us trash games/updates & I just wanna say keep speaking up like this he (blametruth) alone literally rallied the entire cod community & is trying to get ish fixed & now there community is leaving the games in droves literally killing it so cods gonna have a choice to either listen to there players now or it’s really gonna finally end
I been on space marine lol. 2K been cooked for a while now 😂😂
Space Marine and Vermintide 2 🔥
Damn I absolutely forgot about 2k, haven’t played since early October , it’s that bad
2k21 next gen was the worst 2k for me
Same
Imo pro play is buns. It was easier to dribble more realistically when people were doing the cheesiest stuffs. I remember in 2k20 people were cheesing like crazy and I didn’t really know how to and I didn’t care fr cause dribbling regularly was just as good. This game you gotta wait for animations and stuff to play out it just feels nasty dribbling like I HAVE to speed boost
Bro had to explain what disingenuous meant cuz his viewers are brain dead including me 🤣
Yall realize yall say this shit every year 😂
The game isn't perfect but it is definitely more fun than 24. The cap breakers was a good addition for reward but still not enough. Season rewards should be better. Sick of 2k giving MT cards trying to force people to play MT just to make money. Get rid of MT cards, release animations, arm sleeves and just give clothes, boost and vc as rewards and good to go. Bring back build diversity and make builds and clothing items in the stores more affordable and I think more people would play the game.
idk how you think this game is better than 24. the only thing that 25 has that’s miles better than 24 is the removal of badge regression
6:28 YES. THANK YOU
Why they trying so hard to hide RNG on 3s?
No transparency at all
Last year was fun when you would outplay the zen players in rec
badge please touch on EOMM that would be a great topic for a vid. Another thing you said there's a script that quits for you so its not a lost, is that why i play so many people when i score 19 they just stop moving and during the win scene it says they left ?
I never left a 2k but dis one I had too I couldn’t do it anymore
I don’t even remember the past 2ks to rate them… 15 and 16 was cool 18 or 19 was bad 24 was decent
