For all the people who stand in the corner and catch and shoot saying “I’m shooting 50%” we aren’t talking about you. Playing guard in this game is agonizing
Shooting just too inconsistent to me. WAYYYY too many shot timings to deal with, with how small the green window with no pure green window and the stick giving you a 70% boost is just asinine. Then shooting with the stick gives you these delayed shot animations with hitches it makes no sense
@@TheDynamicWolf I liked it, didn’t really mind it but there’s not really enough bonus from doing it to make it worth it. I thought it was going to be the mechanic from their golf game which is horrible
@@stalwartzero7001 no it’s a huge boost using it. The problem is that it won’t let you shoot immediately off catches and for guards you already got to use the right stick to dribble and stop it’s just too much going on
The shooting is so bad it’s ridiculous, a basketball video game shouldn’t be this complicated this whole realism thing is so stupid and even more unrealistic a video game shouldn’t be complicated especially a basketball vidoe game.The inconsistent shooting is so bad me and my friend know our timing but it feels like 2k just decides when they want you to miss and when they want you to slow the shot.Whoever came up with these ideas need to get slap and then fired. The shot contest system is so trash the amount of times I see lightly contested when I right in the defender face with gold challenger is ridiculous and I’m still getting crab with hall of fame on ball menace. Players still dribbling through my body while I’m predicting their every move and they constantly run into me sliding off my body.
imo 2k should have just kept the same shooting mechanics and especially the shot meter from 2k24...because the dribble mechanics and the overall gameplay is actually pretty good...but it is not realistic making a shot with a green release then missing shot after shot afterwards because the game wants you to miss...and apart from that on hall of fame difficulty i literally have to drop 50 or 60 points every game just to have a shot at winning because your A.I teammates are absolutely garbage...and then when you add in the fact that we cant even rely on our own jumpshot it just makes matters worse.🤦♂️

I noticed that when I use signature shots I green way more often. By a whole lot too! As far as rhythm shooting I definitely agree, it's a gimmick. Half the time I tried it didn't work at all. Another thing I noticed is that they nerfed blocking significantly. There is no reason Kyle Lowery should be able to get a clean shot off against Giannis even though I timed it perfectly. Overall I love the fluidity of 2k25 but they got a lot that should be patched up.

But when they add bulls*it to a sports game… its not a nerdy rpg its a game where you throw a ball into a metal hole why make it more complicated than what it is?

the shooting this year isn’t really hard, it’s jus very inconsistent with the green window fluctuating changing. i think that’s the biggest issue, there being no pure green window is kinda crazy it’s like they took 1 step forward in 24 and 5 steps back this year.

@@InfamousTextif he’s talking about offline 5v5 mynba lite or mynba offline then yeah this game has been smooth af for me idc I’ll say it. Smoother than 24
On 2k22 and 2k23 I been a decent shooter because I used to playing on slashing type builds and I wanted to jump on the shooting wave. I had a 7 foot stretch 5 on 22 and a 6' 10 3 level scorer on 23 and I been decent. I took a break on 2k24 and got 2k25. The game so far is ok but the shooting is inconsistent. I miss open shots, but make them contested shots.
I prefer shooting with the button ive used the stick before and it’s just uncomfortable so I don’t think im gonna be playing much this year unless it changes
I really have no issues with the shooting on MyPlayer. I use rhythm shooting/high risk/no meter, I use it almost exclusively (including step backs/leaners) and I'm shooting 57% from 3 and 54% fg. with a 75 3 ball and 76 mid on a defensive lock. Crazy thing is I have another build with a 87 3 ball and he shoots basically the same percentages. Maybe a little better, but it's not much. This is odd, but I've had games where I was like 8/9 9/10 and 4/4 5/5 from 3. I really don't see an issue there. The RNG maybe there, but from my experience, when I miss, I feel like it's my fault most of the time. Keep in mind that I take quality shots and don't throw up garbage. And I never play in the park. My issue is with MyTeam. Now, I will say that some players that I've shot bad with in the past because of their shot animation (Like Paul Pierce) I'm able to shoot with quite well using rhythm. You have to pay more attention to the actual full jumpshot motion shooting that way, so I'm able to time any animation fairly well with a little practice. Here's the problem though. VS the AI it's random. Especially on Domination for the diamond Tim Duncan. I think the RNG is HEAVY on that mode in particular. Im not sure if they're gate keeping the Tim Duncan with that shit or what, but there is complete randomness when playing the AI on that mode. I first noticed this on free throws. It's there. This leads me to believe that some people maybe experiencing this in MyPlayer or other online modes. All i can say from my experience with MyPlayer everything seems to be pretty good. I think it has alot to do with finding the right jumpshot for you. I use a jumpshot that I made myself. Didn't use a guide, or a website, or a TH-cam channel. I went in and experimented until I found a shot that matched my natural stroke with the stick and fine tuned the release. Looking at the stats, most people would say my jumpshot is "ass" (B- in all categories) but I'm chicken with it. My advice, redo your jumpshot. Dont go with the ones that have worked year after year. Try to find something unique that matches your natural stick movement and that you can time visually. Also put the shot timing on release. Release is much better for rhythm. You've really got to pay attention to the different shots you take. On my build set shot tempo is faster than a stepback, leaner and even a pull up. (The set shot is more of a snap up and the stepback is more of a firm push up.) This is where you'll mess up because you should only be looking for the flick of the wrist to release on any shot. You have to get the differences in tempo down for each shot in your animations and as long as you release at the wrist flick, you're green. I know some people are mad because they found out the green window was larger on rhythm, but I really think it's necessary. The difficulty in the rhythm isn't really the timing, it's the tempo. You have to green both to make the shot. The releases are timed differently, but so are the tempo speeds. It definitely takes practice and observation, but I think worth the effort. Hope this helps someone, I know people are struggling out there.
I don’t know I’m only 92 but I went to theater at an 88 and haven’t really had any problems. I’ve been shooting dribble pull ups/stepbacks/fades since 21 so maybe that’s why it doesn’t bother me that much. In career I shoot 70/80% and in solo q am shooting 55% which is fine with me.
55% is a pretty good percentage that’s about where I am. But that graph I showed proves it’s made to be inconsistent on purpose and make you miss. It shouldn’t be like that
@@InfamousText what’s that quote “I never saw someone take a shot they didn’t want to make”. I don’t mind there being a little variable. I deeply feel that shooting became too easy in 22, people got real comfortable and now that it takes a little more smarts and planning people are upset. I’m not pro 2k price gauging or pay to play nonsense, so I hear and respect your opinion. I got banned on Xbox for hitting to many aim shots in 21 because that many people were hurt that I wrecked them. Then I had a big with a 68 3 point that slapped and pissed people off. In 22, my paint beast with the low key shot was now meta and the paint game died. In 24 my pg had a 60 3 point and i shot around 50% but only catch unless I had take. The reason was because 90% of the badges were in the midrange and not 3 point stats. 2k not having a (report) option for cheaters and trolls is wild.
NGL, I just shoot at this point. I miss until I hit but I normally end at 50%. The routine is, I start off 0-4. Then my green window moves and I go 6-8. Then my window moves again. When it moves, its always early or late. Even on normal risk I dont get whites. 🤷
Why are people making ridiculous tightly contested layups with no timing on but I can’t make shit with timing and an 85 layup. I’ve seen 6’4 players making standing layups over big men with no timing.
For years this game had RNG in their shooting. I'm no Curry but I learned my timing to the point of no shot meter. You know how many shots I missed wide tf open? I'm not saying this game is great, but one thing it did that I love. Is show the sweats what it's like to be a casual. I love every min of it
The RNG isn’t something new, true. But I also haven’t liked it in other games and I think there should always be a pure green window. And I can see that perspective but you shouldn’t have to nerf good players to bring them down to your skill level 🤷♂️ just my opinion
These developers don’t even play real basketball 🏀 if you want to make the game realistic a wide open catch and shoot should definitely have 70% green window 🪟 now 🤦🏻♂️ but no got people bricking in the corner wide open 🤦🏻♂️ not even me IRL missing open 3s or shot 🤦🏻♂️
Completely unrelated to the vid😭 I’ve watched about 3 of your rant vids. Bro. You GOTTA keep doing this😭😭😭ts is entertaining. Not just with 2k, but any vid in general. Kinda like a reaction channel to you roasting how dumb something is that’s happening in a vid. I’m tellin you, you’ll be good at it. Jus a suggestion ✋🏾🙂↔️🤚🏾
I don’t even play 2k that much, but the fact that my 95 3pt rating SG can’t hit a fadeaway 3 is asinine. Tested it on my court, fadeaway/step backs I went 11/100 with 2 greens. Something ain’t right.
Shooting and Lane steals & steals in general are absurd. The made the court bigger but negated by giving defense the abilty to fly 5 to 10 ft at hyperspeed in any direction to get steals. I saw a player quantum leap from the paint to the wing to get a steal when i passed the ball my teammate was wide open as soon as i passed he literally teleported to the ball.. im sticking to offline yall got it this year...i cant do it anymore my boys hit me to run i just ignore the invites yall have at it. This game is completely broken..
Is the rng included in free throws? Because I've gone from making most of my free throws to now shooting 50% and under and I could swear I'm timing them the same way I've always have
@InfamousText as if all the predetermined animations weren't enough to fuck us over in this game they now make us miss shots whenever they see fit🤣fucking ridiculous.
Guys say that the game is the same every year, then they do a cool new way to shoot and to replace the old shoot in the future, but bro cant have that too, you are crazy bro, nobody gives a fuck, just try to have a good time at the game or leave
I have never once said the game is the same every year. If you weren’t mentally retarded you might’ve picked up on that. It’s objectively ass so go hate somewhere else and get off 2k’s dick special needs child
I have HOF challenger and the badge don’t even work… I jump contest and hands up contest all the time and the shots always say “open” “slightly contested” … like bruh I’m grassing the ball with my fingers how is it open … the reason I made a high perim guard was to guard the shots this year and I really just wasted points on it
@@InfamousText waiting for a patch.. tired of everyone saying .. “they’re NBA players.. players in the nba shoot over people all the time” .. NO they dont 😂 yall try to shoot over LeBron James irl and see how “easy” ts is And don’t even get me started on the inside paint defense.. it don’t exist period .. every layup goes in no matter if you jump or even put a body on them .. They just as delusional as these sellout 2k TH-camrs saying that “there’s nothing wrong with the game” this game is damn near still in beta and we just the testers Let it been 2k24 the defense after they fixed the ghost contest played great and was actually real. Let someone jumped on you while shooting.. straight 100% smothered or at least a high yellow
I've been playing video games since Atari and IBM, since I was in literal diapers. I'll tell you this, every single game ever made has variance. Unless the game is literally Centipede or Missile Command on Atari, the projectiles are going to have mathematical variance, doesn't matter if it's a bullet, a missile, a grenade, a basketball, a magic spell, football, whatever. I played 2k8-15 and stopped at 15 when they went super next gen and made everything stiff af and took out the hop step button. No hop step button made this game garbage af, you can't do anything cool around the rim anymore, you just take random leaning fade ways and runners and do really awkward standing lay ups. When you hit the hop step button, you could combo from it, you could either go for a standing dunk, layup or fade away or you could do like dream shake crap. Now you have zero control. Is dream shaking even in the game still?
Everything you said bro it’s straight facts. And I’m confused if I flick the stick down, do I have to flick it back up because I just flick down and let the stick go back on its own when I see my cue idk if they explained that yet
So visual cue don’t even matter this is only my second year playing and I’m tired of this company man I learned no meter last my very first year and not this year it don’t matter your visual cue is cooked this year
Why cant 2k just lower the vc i really dont feel like spending money on the game when its $70 and jump shot sucks ohhhhh and also would it be better if they lower the vc pricese like 10 or even 20 percent its crazy how expinsive it bruh
You should not be able to green every damn shot because you know your timing. NBA players know their timing and miss shots 😂 every game isn't going to be the same... Just hoop and shut up 👎🏿💯
Buddy we’re talking about a video game and there is no shot timing in real life so idk what you’re on about with that. But if you want shot percentages similar to real life you make the shooting harder by closing the green window more, not coding the game to make me miss shots I time right.
@@InfamousTextyou aren’t getting it dumbass. He means that players know their form in real life and every time they take a shot, their form pretty much stays the same. Despite this they still miss. If you think you should hit every shot you take because you know how to hit green, than you should try more of an arcade style game where everybody can cheese the mechanics and average like 80% from the field. 2k historically has always been a simulation game attempting to replicate real life gameplay. Greening your shot is the equivalent of shooting with perfect form in real life, however we know that players in the NBA usually miss more SET SHOTS than they make. 2k didn’t start going to shit until they started cash grabbing and adding all this extra shit like battle passes and VC, that attracted idiots like you who will spend hundreds every year and then cry about it until next year when they release the same bullshit again. Then it’s rinse and repeat.
@@InfamousText Well put it on low risk because obviously you're struggling to make shots or you wanna shoot infinite greens to warm your baby heart 🤡 it's a new game go learn it and stop pouting 😾
The RNG is not only obvious, but it's already been stated as being in the game by Mike Wang. This isn't a tinfoil conspiracy theory. If there are any goofs that say "you're trash" and "skill issue" and they genuinely feel that way and aren't being edgelords that suck at trolling, I'm curious as to WHY they would ever think RNG has any place in a mechanic that involves user-timing? If they wanted to finally make a drastic change to jump shooting, I'd be all for it. But in 2K25, you can FEEL the RNG on bad shots that go in as well as on good shots that miss...and it really does ruin the experience.
Ever since I seen the Rhythm shooting stick chart, I use rhythm shooting now. I think they just fucked the button shooting up to make you use it. I used to shoot inconsistent with the button now I’m shooting really well with the right stick

this game is literally garbage. but we get it you’re a bootlicker, the fact is 2k16 remastered would easily destroy this game in pure numbers if it got dropped today.
I refuse to believe this is a real comment. If it’s satire lmk now please 🤣🤣🤣

@@InfamousTextif he’s talking about offline 5v5 mynba lite or mynba offline then yeah this game has been smooth af for me idc I’ll say it. Smoother than 24
@@Wesley-yb8nlhe’s clearly talking about mycareer?
Won’t ever feel bad about using the shot meter on low risk
i havent tested it but im sure its easy af. this game is made for casuals in a lot of ways!
Typical garbage game devs. Instead of implementing a real anti cheat, just penalize the non cheaters by adding gambling to the core gameplay.
It doesn’t stop the cheaters either. There’s 10 thousand people in the discord and it works right now. It punishes normal players like us
On 2k22 and 2k23 I been a decent shooter because I used to playing on slashing type builds and I wanted to jump on the shooting wave. I had a 7 foot stretch 5 on 22 and a 6' 10 3 level scorer on 23 and I been decent. I took a break on 2k24 and got 2k25. The game so far is ok but the shooting is inconsistent. I miss open shots, but make them contested shots.
Shoot is definitely inconsistent
I prefer shooting with the button ive used the stick before and it’s just uncomfortable so I don’t think im gonna be playing much this year unless it changes
Yes that’s another thing! It feels so fucking unnatural
I really have no issues with the shooting on MyPlayer. I use rhythm shooting/high risk/no meter, I use it almost exclusively (including step backs/leaners) and I'm shooting 57% from 3 and 54% fg. with a 75 3 ball and 76 mid on a defensive lock. Crazy thing is I have another build with a 87 3 ball and he shoots basically the same percentages. Maybe a little better, but it's not much. This is odd, but I've had games where I was like 8/9 9/10 and 4/4 5/5 from 3. I really don't see an issue there. The RNG maybe there, but from my experience, when I miss, I feel like it's my fault most of the time. Keep in mind that I take quality shots and don't throw up garbage. And I never play in the park.
My issue is with MyTeam. Now, I will say that some players that I've shot bad with in the past because of their shot animation (Like Paul Pierce) I'm able to shoot with quite well using rhythm. You have to pay more attention to the actual full jumpshot motion shooting that way, so I'm able to time any animation fairly well with a little practice. Here's the problem though. VS the AI it's random. Especially on Domination for the diamond Tim Duncan. I think the RNG is HEAVY on that mode in particular. Im not sure if they're gate keeping the Tim Duncan with that shit or what, but there is complete randomness when playing the AI on that mode. I first noticed this on free throws. It's there. This leads me to believe that some people maybe experiencing this in MyPlayer or other online modes. All i can say from my experience with MyPlayer everything seems to be pretty good. I think it has alot to do with finding the right jumpshot for you. I use a jumpshot that I made myself. Didn't use a guide, or a website, or a TH-cam channel. I went in and experimented until I found a shot that matched my natural stroke with the stick and fine tuned the release. Looking at the stats, most people would say my jumpshot is "ass" (B- in all categories) but I'm chicken with it. My advice, redo your jumpshot. Dont go with the ones that have worked year after year. Try to find something unique that matches your natural stick movement and that you can time visually. Also put the shot timing on release. Release is much better for rhythm. You've really got to pay attention to the different shots you take. On my build set shot tempo is faster than a stepback, leaner and even a pull up. (The set shot is more of a snap up and the stepback is more of a firm push up.) This is where you'll mess up because you should only be looking for the flick of the wrist to release on any shot. You have to get the differences in tempo down for each shot in your animations and as long as you release at the wrist flick, you're green. I know some people are mad because they found out the green window was larger on rhythm, but I really think it's necessary. The difficulty in the rhythm isn't really the timing, it's the tempo. You have to green both to make the shot. The releases are timed differently, but so are the tempo speeds. It definitely takes practice and observation, but I think worth the effort.
Hope this helps someone, I know people are struggling out there.
I don’t know I’m only 92 but I went to theater at an 88 and haven’t really had any problems. I’ve been shooting dribble pull ups/stepbacks/fades since 21 so maybe that’s why it doesn’t bother me that much. In career I shoot 70/80% and in solo q am shooting 55% which is fine with me.
55% is a pretty good percentage that’s about where I am. But that graph I showed proves it’s made to be inconsistent on purpose and make you miss. It shouldn’t be like that
@@InfamousText what’s that quote “I never saw someone take a shot they didn’t want to make”. I don’t mind there being a little variable. I deeply feel that shooting became too easy in 22, people got real comfortable and now that it takes a little more smarts and planning people are upset. I’m not pro 2k price gauging or pay to play nonsense, so I hear and respect your opinion. I got banned on Xbox for hitting to many aim shots in 21 because that many people were hurt that I wrecked them. Then I had a big with a 68 3 point that slapped and pissed people off. In 22, my paint beast with the low key shot was now meta and the paint game died. In 24 my pg had a 60 3 point and i shot around 50% but only catch unless I had take. The reason was because 90% of the badges were in the midrange and not 3 point stats. 2k not having a (report) option for cheaters and trolls is wild.
bruh amazing video!!
NGL, I just shoot at this point. I miss until I hit but I normally end at 50%.
The routine is, I start off 0-4. Then my green window moves and I go 6-8. Then my window moves again.
When it moves, its always early or late. Even on normal risk I dont get whites. 🤷
I’m doing the same shit I just keep shooting until it fixes itself 😂
Why are people making ridiculous tightly contested layups with no timing on but I can’t make shit with timing and an 85 layup. I’ve seen 6’4 players making standing layups over big men with no timing.
That’s exactly what happens with my build and I have a 37 layup 😭. Like I’ll take the bailout points but it’s fucking ridiculous
Keep making the vids bro, you're hilarious and I agree with you pretty much 100% of the time
Thank you man I appreciate that for real 🙏 💙
Love these vids… Keep them up. I always miss my 3rd shot.
Thank you bro 💙
For years this game had RNG in their shooting. I'm no Curry but I learned my timing to the point of no shot meter. You know how many shots I missed wide tf open? I'm not saying this game is great, but one thing it did that I love. Is show the sweats what it's like to be a casual. I love every min of it
Such a corny take
The RNG isn’t something new, true. But I also haven’t liked it in other games and I think there should always be a pure green window. And I can see that perspective but you shouldn’t have to nerf good players to bring them down to your skill level 🤷♂️ just my opinion
@@InfamousText I wouldn't say nerf good players. I would say they need a pure green window, for sure. But zens ruined that
I think if they reduce the amount of different timings the shooting would be fine but regardless I’m shooting around 52%
Agreed
These developers don’t even play real basketball 🏀 if you want to make the game realistic a wide open catch and shoot should definitely have 70% green window 🪟 now 🤦🏻♂️ but no got people bricking in the corner wide open 🤦🏻♂️ not even me IRL missing open 3s or shot 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah Random 3V3 Theater 🎭 My Go To Right Now !!!!
I’m about to get on I’m eating while watching this lol 😂 keep going !!!
Dude I’ve literally seen 2 missed 100 percent free throws😂😂😂😂😂😂IF ANYONE THINKS THIS SHOOTING ISNT RNG YOU HAVE ISSUES
100% free throw misses are insane
Im playing 24 til they shutdown the server 😂
Good idea 🤣
I can shoot in my player modes like rec and theater but in play now online I go 5/30 on open 3s with elite shooters 💀
I don’t doubt it
It’s solely based on ur visual cue this year if u shoot muscle memory this year ur cooked😭
Even following the visual Que every time you’ll still miss, but this is very true 😂
THANK YOU BRO
YOURE WELCOME BRO 😂
2k and EA need to switch licenses, bring back 2k football and NBA Live
Wish it would happen but not probable 💀
I think I'm going to subscribe to your channel I think I'm sold now❤
Appreciate that bro 🙏
Haven’t touched this game in almost two weeks don’t see myself getting back on I just can’t stand shooting and the gameplay itself tbh
I’m the same way I’ve barely been playing
Completely unrelated to the vid😭
I’ve watched about 3 of your rant vids. Bro. You GOTTA keep doing this😭😭😭ts is entertaining. Not just with 2k, but any vid in general. Kinda like a reaction channel to you roasting how dumb something is that’s happening in a vid. I’m tellin you, you’ll be good at it. Jus a suggestion
✋🏾🙂↔️🤚🏾
That means a lot bro fr 💙. I’ve definitely thought of doing that maybe I’ll throw a video up like that soon
I don’t even play 2k that much, but the fact that my 95 3pt rating SG can’t hit a fadeaway 3 is asinine. Tested it on my court, fadeaway/step backs I went 11/100 with 2 greens. Something ain’t right.
They definitely nerfed fading 3s the past couple of years. But with a 95 I think you should be able to hit them consistently if you can time it
I don’t play, but I can feel your pain
🤣🤣🤣
Lol this guys amazing i love people shitting on 2k
Shooting and Lane steals & steals in general are absurd. The made the court bigger but negated by giving defense the abilty to fly 5 to 10 ft at hyperspeed in any direction to get steals. I saw a player quantum leap from the paint to the wing to get a steal when i passed the ball my teammate was wide open as soon as i passed he literally teleported to the ball.. im sticking to offline yall got it this year...i cant do it anymore my boys hit me to run i just ignore the invites yall have at it. This game is completely broken..
Completely agree 🎯
@@InfamousText You gotta talk about lane steal and interior D, and contests.. the streets need it.
Is the rng included in free throws? Because I've gone from making most of my free throws to now shooting 50% and under and I could swear I'm timing them the same way I've always have
Yes it is! 😂
@InfamousText as if all the predetermined animations weren't enough to fuck us over in this game they now make us miss shots whenever they see fit🤣fucking ridiculous.
U preaching to the choir💯💯 everything u said was indisputable... definitely need to take out rng..and fix the contest system 💯💯
It’s so trash 🤦♂️ 😂
U should’ve addressed the other big problem in this game as a bonus the d1 db’s (Richard Shermans)
Wanted a whole video touching on the shooting. That might be a future one though ngl 🤣🤣
Guys say that the game is the same every year, then they do a cool new way to shoot and to replace the old shoot in the future, but bro cant have that too, you are crazy bro, nobody gives a fuck, just try to have a good time at the game or leave
I have never once said the game is the same every year. If you weren’t mentally retarded you might’ve picked up on that. It’s objectively ass so go hate somewhere else and get off 2k’s dick special needs child
@@InfamousTextbros doing tricks on Ronny 🍆💦
Side note I love my career
If you mean offline mycareer that’s fair. It doesn’t seem that bad this year
I have HOF challenger and the badge don’t even work… I jump contest and hands up contest all the time and the shots always say “open” “slightly contested” … like bruh I’m grassing the ball with my fingers how is it open … the reason I made a high perim guard was to guard the shots this year and I really just wasted points on it
High perimeter does absolutely nothing for shot contests it’s so stupid 😭. I have the exact same problem on my build
@@InfamousText waiting for a patch.. tired of everyone saying .. “they’re NBA players.. players in the nba shoot over people all the time” .. NO they dont 😂 yall try to shoot over LeBron James irl and see how “easy” ts is
And don’t even get me started on the inside paint defense.. it don’t exist period .. every layup goes in no matter if you jump or even put a body on them ..
They just as delusional as these sellout 2k TH-camrs saying that “there’s nothing wrong with the game” this game is damn near still in beta and we just the testers
Let it been 2k24 the defense after they fixed the ghost contest played great and was actually real. Let someone jumped on you while shooting.. straight 100% smothered or at least a high yellow
Bro said Ronny😂
Ronnie catches shots for everything because he’s a corporate shill I don’t care if it’s his fault 🤣🤣
I've been playing video games since Atari and IBM, since I was in literal diapers. I'll tell you this, every single game ever made has variance. Unless the game is literally Centipede or Missile Command on Atari, the projectiles are going to have mathematical variance, doesn't matter if it's a bullet, a missile, a grenade, a basketball, a magic spell, football, whatever.
I played 2k8-15 and stopped at 15 when they went super next gen and made everything stiff af and took out the hop step button. No hop step button made this game garbage af, you can't do anything cool around the rim anymore, you just take random leaning fade ways and runners and do really awkward standing lay ups. When you hit the hop step button, you could combo from it, you could either go for a standing dunk, layup or fade away or you could do like dream shake crap. Now you have zero control. Is dream shaking even in the game still?
Damn I started in 2k16 so that makes me feel young as fuck 🤣. Yeah dream shaking is still in the game post scorers are so overpowered
Hell ya road to 1k subs 🫡

we really got another rant a day later 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Man the shooting pissed me off so much that I’m already back out here. That should tell you something 😭
Everything you said bro it’s straight facts. And I’m confused if I flick the stick down, do I have to flick it back up because
I just flick down and let the stick go back on its own when I see my cue idk if they explained that yet
It’s very hard to explain without a hand cam tbh. You can just search on TH-cam for a tutorial
This game is fire 😂
Forget that this is to counter Zen users
I strongly disagree 💀 and if your argument is that the shooting is like this to counteract zens then it’s trash. People are still cheating as we speak
@@InfamousText here's a strategy for you develop a rhythm alternating from shooting button to pro stick.. 😂😂 silly goose
🤓☝️ “if the game is so bad then why do you play it”
Because I’m him lil bro
So Glad 😀 I Made A Pure Inside Center First I Don’t To Deal With This Shit And No VC Spend Either !!!!
Just wait until your center with 90+ close shot constantly misses open layups/close shot right next to the basket (I have a center with 94 close shot)
So visual cue don’t even matter this is only my second year playing and I’m tired of this company man I learned no meter last my very first year and not this year it don’t matter your visual cue is cooked this year
it does not at all the shooting is so random
Why cant 2k just lower the vc i really dont feel like spending money on the game when its $70 and jump shot sucks ohhhhh and also would it be better if they lower the vc pricese like 10 or even 20 percent its crazy how expinsive it bruh
Because they’re greedy as fuck
Btw what i just sub your channel
Thank you bro!
People need to stop playing this game. It’s really that simple
i just Won A 2k Giveaway Then this video was recommended 🤣.
Good timing then it’s a sign from God to never play 😭
WE BACK BABYYY
Grind never stops 💯
You should not be able to green every damn shot because you know your timing. NBA players know their timing and miss shots 😂 every game isn't going to be the same... Just hoop and shut up 👎🏿💯
Buddy we’re talking about a video game and there is no shot timing in real life so idk what you’re on about with that. But if you want shot percentages similar to real life you make the shooting harder by closing the green window more, not coding the game to make me miss shots I time right.
@@InfamousTextyou aren’t getting it dumbass. He means that players know their form in real life and every time they take a shot, their form pretty much stays the same. Despite this they still miss. If you think you should hit every shot you take because you know how to hit green, than you should try more of an arcade style game where everybody can cheese the mechanics and average like 80% from the field. 2k historically has always been a simulation game attempting to replicate real life gameplay. Greening your shot is the equivalent of shooting with perfect form in real life, however we know that players in the NBA usually miss more SET SHOTS than they make. 2k didn’t start going to shit until they started cash grabbing and adding all this extra shit like battle passes and VC, that attracted idiots like you who will spend hundreds every year and then cry about it until next year when they release the same bullshit again. Then it’s rinse and repeat.
@@InfamousText Well put it on low risk because obviously you're struggling to make shots or you wanna shoot infinite greens to warm your baby heart 🤡 it's a new game go learn it and stop pouting 😾
@@renegadereid84he literally said in the video that they don’t need to buff shooting 🤡 you typed that paragraph and didn’t even watch the video 😂
The RNG is not only obvious, but it's already been stated as being in the game by Mike Wang. This isn't a tinfoil conspiracy theory. If there are any goofs that say "you're trash" and "skill issue" and they genuinely feel that way and aren't being edgelords that suck at trolling, I'm curious as to WHY they would ever think RNG has any place in a mechanic that involves user-timing?
If they wanted to finally make a drastic change to jump shooting, I'd be all for it. But in 2K25, you can FEEL the RNG on bad shots that go in as well as on good shots that miss...and it really does ruin the experience.
Someone already said skill issue on this video go find him 😭. I replied to him already

Ever since I seen the Rhythm shooting stick chart, I use rhythm shooting now. I think they just fucked the button shooting up to make you use it. I used to shoot inconsistent with the button now I’m shooting really well with the right stick
It’s a stupid gimmick they’re forcing everyone to use so the game feels different to 24 🤷♂️
