Finally someone speak real about 2k20 that game gets overrated by quarantine and nostalgia 2k19 should of been in one of the top 2 tiers tho the dribbling system alone is enough reason we haven’t had great dribbling since 2k19
I go back and think about 17 and I know the game was fun as hell but lord have mercy me being 23 now that gameplay was atrocious but it was so fun regardless of the broken stuff in the game
You forgot to mention in 2k17 how the AI was completely braindead, the graphics were the ugliest out of all the 2k games, the unnecessarily complex timeout menu, and single archetypes. Easily a D tier game.
@InfamousText for reference I was 15 at the time. It was just wild to hear someone say their first 2k was nearly 10 years after mine. It was a culture shock
I have a bias for 2k20 cuz that was my first 2k where i played park. back then i had 15 and 16 but didnt realize there was an online version of the game. but found that out later smh still sick til this day about that. then i had skipped 17-19 and was ready to play park for the first time in 2k20. that game to me was special in ways i guess other people didnt see. making a point forward which most people didnt have made it unique. that game i had a lot of fun in. obviously it had its flaws but i still think its the best 2k we have had since it came out
I agree with you 21 next gen was horrible. 6’7 power fowards could all green & contact dunk no skill needed. Also agree with 20 not being that good just a quarantine game. Me being 27 I started playing about 2k7 so I have more of a soft spot for 09-13. I would put 13 in the goated tier with 11 & 12. VC was introduced but it was affordable, you still had to grind skill points to upgrade your player, the soundtrack was fire, blacktop with friends was amazing that was park before park(iykyk).. maybe me just being 15 at the time plays a part. 14 was goated. I have 15 & 16 over 17 as well. Didn’t really like 17 as much.. one reason being dribbling was just too cheesy for me, but the soundtrack & my career was great mixed with og parks & feel. 18 was atrocious. I believe 22 & 23 are the best we’ve had so far as next gen. 23 soundtrack had some fire & I enjoyed the dribbling on both. Even tho 22 had 5’9-5’10 guard meta you could have fun with various builds same as 23. 23 the 6’9’s were fun.. snatch backing & athletic hangs off one. My team was kind of fun & the card art looked cool even tho the mode has been trash & pay to play for awhile. Lastly this might be a hot take but I think 25 is better than 24. The movement is better but there is a lot wrong with the game.. recycled rewards, rng, meta play, etc. Yea shooting is worse for rng being more prevalent, but the beginning of 24 the shooting was horrific & still carried on through the game. The soundtrack had some bangers like Kamiyah thru the week or destiny rogers fall back. The kobe intro with the Wayne song was fire. I also liked the rep system being back but hated how the parks looked(25 sucks too but looks a little better to me). 25 we all love the mycourt return & the rep system is better me personally.
I played on the Thunder in 2k19, PG and Westbrook were absolutely ridiculous teammates Westbrook would spam steals and dunks and this one time PG made a half court shot to win the game but also when we won the championship vs Toronto the damn game crashed
Pretty good tier list, but I disagree with 2K19 being over 2K20. I'm sorry if you don't remember how TOXIC 2K19 got let me remind you. 2K19 had shoving and pushing where the on ball defender literally couldn't play defense if you wanted to shove the whole game. 2K19 had a glitch where you could push the check up defender out of bounds, so they couldn't play defense (and people complain about 2K18 snatch backs). Also, L2 cheesing was at its prime. 2K25 L2 cheese is pretty bad, but 2K19 outshines it by a mile. Also, don't forget that in 2K19, booters were at their prime. I remember being kicked out of multiple parks because I beat a sweaty mf and was immediately kicked from the server. Also, you said 2K18 dribbling was bad, but 2K19 was good, when they are pretty identical, if I recall correctly.
Anyone else miss Rachel Demita don't agree with all your tiers but I definitely agree 2k 14-17 were the best 2ks for sure game was just fun back then now it's just a boring rinse and repeat everybody plays same way with same jump shots and sigs
The only reason I’d bump up 2k22 would be the dribbling. Have too many clips of me going stupid without meta moves or builds. Steezo/standstill was so fun to learn and use.
2010 was my first 2k 10-17 was the best years I got 25 for the discount it just feels so Robotic even though in theory I like the gm stuff my era is amazing even though you’re missing so many people
I thought I was going crazy when I thought 2k13 was one of the worst 2k's I've ever played. You literally could not block dunks in that game, the broken post hop shot that always went in no matter where, intro of VC and MyTeam, on top of the online being busted beyond belief and the animations being super inconsistent. I literally have no idea how some people considers this as one of the best 2ks.
Text ranks the first 2k and I’m already disagreeing 1:32 that’s exactly what it did and why I loved it they also introduced right stick dribbling and what we know today as badges (signature skills they called it)
The 6”6 demi in 24 wasnt as good as the 6”9 in 23 but it was close i used to call the 6”9 the father and the 6”6 the Son both could do it all and clamp shit. Good vid tho i would put 23 in Mid and 24 in great and minus the Sbmm,Rng and mismatches i think 25 got solid gameplay
2K17 is one of those games that only seems better because of all the times I played with friends in the park, team up and pro am. It was fun because of them but the game itself was ehh, only elevated by the next Gen trash 21 afterward. That said I enjoyed 13 despite how bad it is so you could apply my same logic to that game.
22 and 23 were better than 24. 20 was pretty good but it’s definitely overrated. 17 and 19 better than 15. If you got 14 and 16 high up there you can make the case in terms of play now and MyCareer story I give that to you.
So the skill match making in theater not there no more like that I went on a crazy streaks last night but I was my pure inside playing the 2 guard lol and I had a center just like me that plays their role and we went crazy even tho the PG was shooting everything
First of all the reason why u and most of the people think that 2k14 1516 is the best is because back then we were young qe are biased towards the old video games in general that we grow up with them now dont get me wrong these are really good games but i think that just like we love the games that we grow up with them bow the young kids i think they think the same for the games in this generation so ranking video games i believe is really biased but in general i agree with your ranking except 24 should ve higher than 19 for sure and ONLY the gameplay in 25 is really good lets be honest you cannot say the gameplay from a video game 10 years ago is better than now...
I do agree that we can be bias because we grew up with certain games but I do disagree with saying we cannot say older games have better gameplay then now because not all video games get better with time some improve and some get worse WWE 2k is a perfect example in the mid 2010”s
U cooked but idk 2k20 jus sounds a lil more personal than the whole experiences a community imo the dribbling was mad easy it was literally so many animations that worked that year I could literally dribble w a 60 ball handle and could break ankles on - 6’8 3 level scorer w 70 speed and was takin ankles w take over cause ankle breaker and slashing take was op and I guess u never played against the glass cleaning take 😂😂😂 u could throw ppl and snag from anywhere the defense was easy too the only issue was paint defense cause the hop step cheese but if u even did it 9/10 u had low shooting and only comp could shoot w low 3 i had bronze quick draw and deadeye silver w a 50 3 and shot like 70 percent cause jump shot 38 that game was more versatile than 19 ppl overrate 19 cause 18 was so shii and ppl couldn’t adapt to having more play styles cause 19 was jus stretch cheese like u said 😂 but I hated 2k20 too to a degree cause it did have missed potential to be really good imo the contest system was easy u could even get stops with hands up defense too a lot but the game needs better paint D without jus sitting or rotating mad early but 19 had same issues so idk lol that game is over hyped cause COVID but these overrated takes going too far 😂 all the things u said was more apparent and 2k21 and that’s a fact
