Nice video. 2K should be free to play but from their perspective, why stop selling it for $70 if people keep buying it? I think the worst problem is the lack of competition. We need another NBA video game or 2k has no incentive to be better
I’m mad in 2k NBA you have a banner ceremony 12 times for 12 different titles but the banners never stay. It’s like it’s a nonexistent ceremony. Why take up the game space with that useless cut scene if they ain’t gonna stay.
Same bro been buying it since 2k11 religiously and this is the first one where Im not gonna buy it. I keep telling my boys don’t buy it but they like getting suckered lol
I never play on line. I'm pure franchise player. My Eras is what I play. I think for nba2k25 that gonna have a all new era and I think they gonna go way back. So I hope that's the case.
@Games.Gadgets.Sports I'm just waiting on next week when they have the mynba eras deep dive. I just strongly believe they gonna go beyond the 80:s in the all new eras.
2k24 My career is one of the most unrealistic parts of the game they take out college and the combine just as throw you into the NBA and then will tell you to pick a team and let's be serious you just pick what color jersey you want. Then automatically want you to be in starting 5 when you just joined. There is no struggle anymore it should be hard to get on the NBA and you should try to do everything to stay on it but now Idk I don't even wanna win the championship because it's just a waste of time but guess what do get when you beat it a ring and jacket you will never wear.
I agree i like the struggle but its dumb to go into the nba a rating of 60!! Cant even make a layup and then they give u no vc to move up hardly at all unless u buy more vc $$$$$$
I agree with all you said . This game is very good in the first month or 2 n then they always mess with the game by Tampering with steals then every time you jump online they change the shooting . Then they have event ls that can only be won if you boost the servers
Thank you thank you thank you it never fails with this game the game will feel kinda new the first two or three weeks then here comes the update that just ruins everything at this point it’s just a quick hustle for them every year I’m not into my player I just play the regular nba or wnba season and what’s crazier is when you change the setting to your liking then when you play the game you’re like noting even changed they don’t give a damn it’s been years since they did they feel they’re too big now to really care.

Was a live guy like you, made the jump at 2k8. Always played offline with 2 buddies since then. Created rosters when it was trash. Anyway.Tried myteam last year, never before. Put a few hundred hours in it, but the same players were recycled again. Wasn't interesting, the challenges were a chore. Never playing that game mode again. Not excited about 2k25 either, they couldn't even create a selling point narrative this year. They recycle the game like the players in myteam.

We're pretty much in the same boat. I used to be on Live in the 2000s and transitioned to 2K when they started to get good. But after years of playing 2K and getting burned by their greed, for the first time, I'm not hyped up at all. The biggest factor is 2K24. The Mamba Challenge only had seven games!

@@Taxthechurch Good on ya man. I still enjoy the gameplay offline and they have done some gd things but mostly the vc and microtransactions rule the game and less innovation every year
For me, I’ll never forget getting 2k13 on Christmas and having so much fun with it. I loved how you would tap square and step back. And the dribbling was so much better than it is now.
the constant barrage of microtransactions is unreasonable, it should genuinely be illegal to charge $100 (AUD) for a game only to put ads everywhere and force everyone to spend money on vc just to have a player that isnt dogwater after 100 hours of mycareer. why cant we have a competitor this game is a scam
@@2KCustomerService isnt that the truth! Unless 2k pulls something big before release im waiting for a big sale like black friday. The game sometimes isnt even the same after they patch everything!
Whatever year they introduced the VC I think 2015-16 was the last time I played. It ruined my career. Just don’t buy it people but that won’t happen so this will continue
Yes and also many blind fans who buy the game every year and supports DLC, loot boxes and micro-transactions. Visual Concepts and 2K Games have no reason to improve the game yearly anymore.
I have a suggestion for a video can you please do a video expounding on the great teams you developed in dynasty mode? I would like to know in detail how you put those team together if you can remember lol.
Man ill tell you now lol, its no ryme or reason. I like to always stay under the salary cap thats my goal. I try to pick players with solid defense and have a couple solid all around offense players and a quick center! I dont like stacking my team so its a challenge. I find it fun to try to build a solid team with alot nobodys and cpl gd players like my pistons usually have to do!

I used to buy NBA2K on sight. From the very 1st game up until 2K17. I can't think of another business that does such a great job of chasing away incredibly loyal customers. Like, you really had to mess up pretty badly to turn me away from nba videogames but here we are. Not gonna buy for the 7th year in a row and that nagging feeling that i'm possibly missing out died years ago. It's just a shame that we are witnessing the shittification of not only games but just about everything.
This will probably offend some people but you have to be a fool to continue supporting NBA2K. A company who BLATANTLY treat their fanbase badly year after year. They literally want their players to be addicts, even going as far as putting casino machines in the game. A basketball game. I noticed the new "premium version" 2k in the digital store is over $200 AUD lmao. They don't even care. They know the addicts will keep paying more to be treated like fools. The longer people keep letting this company take advantage of them, the longer it is until we get a respectable basketball game. Making it not fun to play MyCareer was a clear sign where everything was heading years ago. Edit: LMAO Just got to the end. There are so many GOOD games outside of the sports genre.
@@kenlen8029 thanks for the reply, u make good points! N yes their are some good games just so many nowadays come out incomplete with needed 80 gb day one patches, half baked and takes years to fix them or not what was advertised. Not to mention many specially sports titles trying to shove pay to win vc n virtual currency. I remember not many years ago the game you got not always but way more often was great out the gate and micro transactions. And the bad games stayed bad but at least the whole game was on the media and you learned to trust that game dev or you didnt n they either got better or didnt make games anymore.

I don't mind them making money just make the extra content worth it. Video gaming is expensive but way cheaper than going to a bar or out running around. They just need to temper down the greed.
Totally agree. I dont care if any company makes company but damn at least put full effort and give all of us a great experience and solid effort not just the modes that make you a quick buck!!
this new generation dont understand we come from an era when a game comes out it’s actually finished 😂in whatever needa fixing will wait till the next tittle game. patches and micro transactions easily a big problem for new games
Shows they havnt done much or they know pll about had enough so going to bombard us with stuff last few says before release to pressure ppl into getting it. Little fomo action..
N why i disagree with paying real money for virtual stuff. In a flash they can take it. Why im against all digital future Until companies have to someway honor your purchases i steer clear of all digital
Another thing is that 2k pulls a lot of money from 2 league. Which means we gotta pay up. AND IM NOT PAYING YALL TO PLAY A F’n VIDEO GAME. 2k NBA is the only game that shits down servers after two years. That’s criminal A.F. Because the game is now unplayable because completely tied to online. 9,000animations. Dog it’s recycled or cheap and won’t matter.
Yea shutting down servers that fast is just another way to get ppl to buy their next game if i remember right they did us dirty one time and shut down servers in one year if memory serves me right
You sound a lot like me. I've always been an offline player. I like picking a team or my favorite and try to win a chip. Myplayer was cool at first.

my career hasn’t been good since they made it where you choose what team you go to. that idea is so wack imo. playing to improve your draft stock before the draft and getting drafted to a random team is so much better
One thing always bothered me is I never seen fast break offense in mycareer from cpu
I agree, but they did honored Kobe. They had the mama moments and then he had his own theme song when the game comes on.
@@redx9656 yes but i feel it was half assed. They did jordan way better imho
@@Games.Gadgets.Sports what more do you want them to do? lol they already had a theme Kobe in 2k10 they gave Kobe his flowers already
Yeah 25 minutes uncut jus telling it how it is this what we need. And the visuals fire too 🐐🐐
This was an amazing analysis brother
Thanks just how i feel
Thing is. People keep trash talking 2k every year but still buying the game and quitting the game 2 months later. If the game is that bad don't buy it. Simple
2k24 = "Im done playing this game"
2k25 = "let me get a preorder"
Aids
People love basketball and it’s the only game on the market
@@gabewright6603 but if it’s trash don’t buy it. Ea sports. People stopped buying their game and they learned and now they working on improving. If you keep buying 2k they going to as yall say “ keep scamming”.
@@DETERMINOLOGY your not wrong. Why im honest about it but still say i do still enjoy the gameplay and the mygm modes and they have done cool things like myera modes but the incomplete teams ruin it a tad for me and some of the recycled commentary ive heard from games ten yrs ago is getting tiresome then the microtransactions ugh here i go again lol its worth $39.99 to me no more.
@@gabewright6603play the old ones
Also remember the game is 150 GB. LMAO
@@mutatednut yea forgot about that lol and its all the unnecessary crap in the game that makes it so large
Man you hit the nail on the head brother 🎉
@@Hermitthebeatapprentice well thanks! I think alot of us are having the same type of feelings on 2k its just hard to totally stop playing because many of us love basketball to much n 2k knows it. Why i said ill probly still snag it but on a steep sale my max is 39.99
This video should be viral
Nice video. 2K should be free to play but from their perspective, why stop selling it for $70 if people keep buying it? I think the worst problem is the lack of competition. We need another NBA video game or 2k has no incentive to be better
I’m mad in 2k NBA you have a banner ceremony 12 times for 12 different titles but the banners never stay. It’s like it’s a nonexistent ceremony. Why take up the game space with that useless cut scene if they ain’t gonna stay.
dude it's even worse than that, that banner ceremony cut scene has been IDENTICAL for like 8 years
@@mitchellmcmahon4326 it’s bs space no wonder why the game is 300 GB. They have useless cut scenes.
And see I used to love 2k for the attention to detail but that is some BS
Same bro been buying it since 2k11 religiously and this is the first one where Im not gonna buy it. I keep telling my boys don’t buy it but they like getting suckered lol
I never play on line. I'm pure franchise player. My Eras is what I play. I think for nba2k25 that gonna have a all new era and I think they gonna go way back. So I hope that's the case.
@@JosephPinkney-hv5pm same here im 98% offline myera or mygm modes.
@Games.Gadgets.Sports I'm just waiting on next week when they have the mynba eras deep dive. I just strongly believe they gonna go beyond the 80:s in the all new eras.
2k24 My career is one of the most unrealistic parts of the game they take out college and the combine just as throw you into the NBA and then will tell you to pick a team and let's be serious you just pick what color jersey you want. Then automatically want you to be in starting 5 when you just joined. There is no struggle anymore it should be hard to get on the NBA and you should try to do everything to stay on it but now Idk I don't even wanna win the championship because it's just a waste of time but guess what do get when you beat it a ring and jacket you will never wear.
I agree i like the struggle but its dumb to go into the nba a rating of 60!! Cant even make a layup and then they give u no vc to move up hardly at all unless u buy more vc $$$$$$
I agree with all you said . This game is very good in the first month or 2 n then they always mess with the game by Tampering with steals then every time you jump online they change the shooting . Then they have event ls that can only be won if you boost the servers
Thank you thank you thank you it never fails with this game the game will feel kinda new the first two or three weeks then here comes the update that just ruins everything at this point it’s just a quick hustle for them every year I’m not into my player I just play the regular nba or wnba season and what’s crazier is when you change the setting to your liking then when you play the game you’re like noting even changed they don’t give a damn it’s been years since they did they feel they’re too big now to really care.
I think it was good up til season 3 after that patch it broke shooting in the game.
@@doeb3 they’re always breaking the game every year same thing and we keep saying I will not be buying 2k next year and guess what happens I’m definitely guilty of that but it’s something about 2k24 that just made realize it’s not worth it for me anymore I feel they cater to the younger generation and I’m good with that but us old heads just want to play a regular nba game no my player I haven’t played my player since 2k16 I don’t like micro transactions I’m not about to spend my salary on no digital clothes I can spend that on my kids real clothing and shoes this rant is coming from a 49 year old gamer dad.

@@ItsRonnyy thanks! Your appreciated!
I can't stand the shooting. I had a 7 ft center with 85 shooting, and I would miss SO MANY shots. Open or not. It's just frustrating, I'm playing a video game. Allow me to live out my fantasy lol the other thing that annoys me, is the computer is lights out

@@jonahbyer6852 just whats on my mind
I was the same when it came to buying and playing NBA Live rather than NBA 2K.
live always felt so much better.
from a realistic standpoint, this is a good rant
The game always comes down to who’s the better playmaking shot creator
This my last 2k. I’mma be playing gta 6 until I can’t anymore and then I’ll THINK about buying another 2k. Im tired of 2k not putting in effort. I’d rather they just have one game and update it and make changes as if it was a new game over time like gta does until we get a perfect basketball game.
@@DraikoBeats good idea but they'll never do it since they make literally BILLIONS every year on microtransactions alone! Sad but true
I do miss when we had multiple choices for basketball games
Me too
Was a live guy like you, made the jump at 2k8. Always played offline with 2 buddies since then. Created rosters when it was trash. Anyway.Tried myteam last year, never before. Put a few hundred hours in it, but the same players were recycled again. Wasn't interesting, the challenges were a chore. Never playing that game mode again. Not excited about 2k25 either, they couldn't even create a selling point narrative this year. They recycle the game like the players in myteam. Hey here is another magic johnson this is a little bit better than the previous.
@@zoltankecskemeti1653 then they do dumb stuff like make cards that switch players to goody positions they arent built for like for example a couple years ago i got a ben wallace and they swap his position to a sg.. dude was useless as a sg position
We're pretty much in the same boat. I used to be on Live in the 2000s and transitioned to 2K when they started to get good. But after years of playing 2K and getting burned by their greed, for the first time, I'm not hyped up at all.
The biggest factor is 2K24. The Mamba Challenge only had seven games! There's not a lot of Kobe in MyTeam. I mean, what are we doing here? I'm so upset.
I'm considering not getting 2K25, or at best, buying it on sale.
@@therealnoelyulo i hear u LOUD N CLEAR! I think they half assed the Kobe edition big time! They could make some amazing tribute games like they did jordan for so many players past n present even honor full teams!
NBA Live 18 and 19 was peak
I vowed to stop buying Madden/2k in 2015 and I see I haven’t missed a thing. I’ll come back if they lose their sports licenses.
@@Taxthechurch Good on ya man. I still enjoy the gameplay offline and they have done some gd things but mostly the vc and microtransactions rule the game and less innovation every year
Great video man.
@@KamBridges-Bruh thanks appreciate it.
I always mention 2k16 and 17 they were perfect nba games why don’t they go back to that
17 player models were too weird. 14 had best lighting & gameplay if u ask me…
For me, I’ll never forget getting 2k13 on Christmas and having so much fun with it. I loved how you would tap square and step back. And the dribbling was so much better than it is now.
What’s up bro I just seen and I subscribed based off energy.
@@Jordan_balling im gd man Hru?! Thanks for the sub im just small time enjoy making random vids on many things im interested in
Agreed with everything you said here for real
if you wasnt playing 2k since the sega dreamcast then........... lol its boring now . havent bought 2k in years. ive had great memories .
They need to put skill points back
I am also considering not buying the game and 99% of my channel is 2K. 2K still has good ideas but the objective of 2K is to promote transactions
the constant barrage of microtransactions is unreasonable, it should genuinely be illegal to charge $100 (AUD) for a game only to put ads everywhere and force everyone to spend money on vc just to have a player that isnt dogwater after 100 hours of mycareer.
why cant we have a competitor this game is a scam
@@olz33 we need competition. Live needs to come back
I’m just going to go nms and only buy the game on sale. The game isn’t fully finished until December anyway 😂
@@2KCustomerService isnt that the truth! Unless 2k pulls something big before release im waiting for a big sale like black friday. The game sometimes isnt even the same after they patch everything!
Have not played 2k since 19 I think. I miss it and I don’t. Would rather go load up 2k11-14 than any recent one
@@Manthathasspiderlikepowers cant blame u!
Whatever year they introduced the VC I think 2015-16 was the last time I played. It ruined my career. Just don’t buy it people but that won’t happen so this will continue
Lack of competition made games like 2K bad.
@@Taj_Rahine very true
Yes and also many blind fans who buy the game every year and supports DLC, loot boxes and micro-transactions. Visual Concepts and 2K Games have no reason to improve the game yearly anymore.
Honor Kobe.
I have a suggestion for a video can you please do a video expounding on the great teams you developed in dynasty mode? I would like to know in detail how you put those team together if you can remember lol.
Man ill tell you now lol, its no ryme or reason. I like to always stay under the salary cap thats my goal. I try to pick players with solid defense and have a couple solid all around offense players and a quick center! I dont like stacking my team so its a challenge. I find it fun to try to build a solid team with alot nobodys and cpl gd players like my pistons usually have to do!
you should change the title to nba2k rant because they really do us wrong every single year and its truly sad

@@RecencyBiasRadio true statement! I am not either unless they drop something huge. Im a sucker for classic teams like whwn they put in the 1992 dream team a few years back. But their "new shooting" and 9000 animations is not getting me..
That 04 Pistons team beat my NJ Nets that season in 7. But I agree, that team is decimated. Didn’t even give them a decent bench. Where’s Okur, Mike James, Hunter? Even the 02 Nets. I love playing with them, where’s Anthony Johnson and Lucious Harris off the bench? You’re almost forced to play with 5-7 players all game with some of these classic teams.

I used to buy NBA2K on sight. From the very 1st game up until 2K17. I can't think of another business that does such a great job of chasing away incredibly loyal customers. Like, you really had to mess up pretty badly to turn me away from nba videogames but here we are. Not gonna buy for the 7th year in a row and that nagging feeling that i'm possibly missing out died years ago.

@@TheTriangleOffense47 nah lol im little fish to 2k
This will probably offend some people but you have to be a fool to continue supporting NBA2K. A company who BLATANTLY treat their fanbase badly year after year. They literally want their players to be addicts, even going as far as putting casino machines in the game. A basketball game. I noticed the new "premium version" 2k in the digital store is over $200 AUD lmao. They don't even care. They know the addicts will keep paying more to be treated like fools. The longer people keep letting this company take advantage of them, the longer it is until we get a respectable basketball game. Making it not fun to play MyCareer was a clear sign where everything was heading years ago. Edit: LMAO Just got to the end. There are so many GOOD games outside of the sports genre.
@@kenlen8029 thanks for the reply, u make good points! N yes their are some good games just so many nowadays come out incomplete with needed 80 gb day one patches, half baked and takes years to fix them or not what was advertised. Not to mention many specially sports titles trying to shove pay to win vc n virtual currency. I remember not many years ago the game you got not always but way more often was great out the gate and micro transactions. And the bad games stayed bad but at least the whole game was on the media and you learned to trust that game dev or you didnt n they either got better or didnt make games anymore. These days game devs are either lazy or being forced to put out trash n fix it later mentality n its bs for the $ they asking for these games

I don't mind them making money just make the extra content worth it. Video gaming is expensive but way cheaper than going to a bar or out running around. They just need to temper down the greed.
It’s not cheaper
Totally agree. I dont care if any company makes company but damn at least put full effort and give all of us a great experience and solid effort not just the modes that make you a quick buck!!
this new generation dont understand we come from an era when a game comes out it’s actually finished 😂in whatever needa fixing will wait till the next tittle game. patches and micro transactions easily a big problem for new games

Because the game is now unplayable because completely tied to online. 9,000animations. Dog it’s recycled or cheap and won’t matter.
Yea shutting down servers that fast is just another way to get ppl to buy their next game if i remember right they did us dirty one time and shut down servers in one year if memory serves me right
You sound a lot like me. I've always been an offline player. I like picking a team or my favorite and try to win a chip. Myplayer was cool at first.
