Yeah 2k19 was the closest they ever came to the perfect basketball game.. It had it's issues, but if they had stuck with that games blueprint and built on it we wouldn't be dealing with this bs we got now smh.
This the first time i actually stopped playing 2k, i told my pro am team i just can’t do it no more, game is broken and just not fun at all, i come back to watch all the videos hoping something changes but I’m always met with disappointment.
Badgey the problem in this game is it’s hard to have fun no matter how you play. At least for me it doesn’t matter if I try to play casual or sweaty, it’s the same results. It’s just not fun. I have 3 builds and I can do a lot with all of them at 7’. It’s frustrating even when I’m just trying to have fun because it’s not fun, then when I’m trying to play sweaty the game is just way to random to enjoy it that way.
@@Lucky7PWA either way they have achieved what they set to do. You bought the game. 2k doesnt care if you play the game or not, they only care if you buy the game LOL and given that this is the only bball game in the market, you will likely buy nba2k26 next year.
@@henrynguyen4315 I mean kind of. 2k puts a lot of emphasis on retention. Yeah they won with me buying the game and buying my first build but they would 100% rather have me keep playing and spending money like I have previous years. This year I will not spend any money and exploit any VC I get, if I do decide to play the game more often.
2k patches aren't ment to fix the game at all...the patches ment to make you spend more money...any time they change shooting defense slashing or playmaking they expect people to make new builds to compensate
Jokes on them I just adapt, I’m not giving them all this crazy money, for what? Fix the dam shooting stop messing with the dunking and I might spend something other than that my build is just fine
They don’t develop 2K to be a main game. They develop it to be like a phone game. The sheer amount they make with the gimmicks means they’ll never improve. There’s probably hardly anyone there that still cares about actual basketball.

They also patched rhythm shooting with paddles that weren’t in the patch notes. Finally all the work I put into shooting with the stick might actually work and won’t dread playing Xbox players
Badgeplug thank you got keeping it real. Bruh I swear bro I went from 96% player to about 65-70% I will be beating people so bad then all of a sudden it's 19-0 and the other guy gains wings and the greatest shit ever and I can't hit the game winner. I'm over it. This is my least played 2k. Thank you for being real
Bro I broke my monitor after winning a game. I literally cracked my screen after flinging my controller. That’s how frustrating this game is. This dude came back on me in the fourth pushed it to over time after I missed a 92% free throw which would’ve put the game out of reach. Long story short he hits a red fade for 3. And I end up winning in OT but damn this shit crazy with the bullshit rng whatever it’s called.
My squad was down one I was on the line with a 99 free throw I missed the first one slightly early 100% next one I green but hits the rim and bounces out. To this day I haven't loaded the game up again 🤣🤣🤣
I played NBA2k24 MyPark while waiting for my NBA2k25 to update. Now I remember how fun NBA2k24 is. It is more smoother than 2K25 which sometimes feels like sluggish and running on molasses.
80 layup gets u same amount of makes as 99. 96 steal is worthless on some builds but 99 gets u 8-10 steals a game. They fucked up with this extra badge level cuz they tried too hard to make incremental improvements in such small gaps that there are no improvements for 10-15 points in some cases then the final 2-3 points make all the difference
I think if it didn't cost so much to make a build, people would probably chill more. The fact that it costs $100 per build on top of $100 to buy the game, means everything matters!!
It's very hard to just have fun when the skill based matchmaking just constantly puts you against meta lineups in every mode. I also don't think it's fatigue, 25 just forces you to play with certain builds and in a certain way or you're at a disadvantage which completely ruins the fun aspect of the game.
On PC I’ve spent about 45 mins combined (5-8 mins at time before losing interest) waiting in theater pregame lobbies and I’ve literally never seen another player join. Not once. Feels like park and rec are the only ways to find games on PC

2k gotta just forget about the zen users and go back to normal shi. They changing it up so much for such a little amount of the player base being cheaters.
The gameplay is actually good when you play the AI. My career is fun. The reason it looks bad in multiplayer is because of people. Most people don’t play the game like it’s a Basketball game, they play it like it’s a Video Game. Running behind screens for that 1 sec to shoot a long 3 ball, making builds solely for legend badges, constantly reaching for steals…etc. Terrible basketball, but effective video gaming. People make the experience bad, but the game is decent. They need to add Manual hand switching dribbles like they had in 2k20. That will improve the game a lot.
i enjoyed 2k for the first couple months thinking it would get better i still have fun playing the game but i can’t enjoy playing comp games any more the rng absolutely fucks you over whenever it wants to it’s not based on skill any more there’s no point in playing it anymore unless you wanna just get on to hoop with friends
Bruh I'm so happy you're speaking up. Contact dunks are easier in real life. Every game is a nail bitter. Every f'n game I play seems to be a 99 rebound big with a 99 middy guard that runs around a screen and fades 2s. Like bruh this game play is soooo bad.
Thanks to complainers, I can’t make my pay ups with a 93 layup or my threes with a 86. I’m slower. I can’t chase down block anymore. It’s hard having fun.
Theatre is the obvious answer, what I figured. The games are quick, if your team is bad you’re not stuck there for 30mins. I still prefer 3v3 Proving Grounds w/ or w/o friends but I get why people play theatre.
This is my first 2k since 21’, which I only got because it was on sale. But for some reason I hear no one talk about the ridiculous VC cost to upgrade/buy clothing etc and the extremely little you earn across all game modes. Like you should never have to play 15 MyCareer games just to be able to get a basic clothing item.
The catches are rng, the passes can be rng.. ive held left and its passed right and balls been stolen etc... the free throw window gets smaller when your up... And if your 6.6 and your opponent is 6.9. they can basically run through you lol.
Badgeplug hopefully you see this comment. You are absolutely correct 2k is dying so they are making the game with less skill so the lesser skilled people can still play and buy the game
i still think the underlying engine for this game is terrific. offline multiplayer feels amazing, runs incredibly smooth, and lets you actually appreciate the dribbling, off ball movement, and other shit the lag messes with online. there’s also less random bullshit like the blown layups, meta cheesing, ridiculous rebounding advantages. this game is honestly sooo close to being a good game that it’s infuriating seeing them progress away from an actual fun product
Everything you are saying in the first ten minutes is so true. Like yesterday I shoot 60% from 3 I have almost 8k points in the rec I know my shot I shoot on high risk and rhythm shoot but we be almost losing or losing to kids we shouldn’t like I know I’m not missing 4 threes in a row bc it’s me bc I can go to a garage court or my court and connect to a server so I get that real online game feel and hit 10 plus 3s in a row so me and boys definitely believe and have talked about everything your saying about the RNG shit is ridiculous
I totally agree with the statement that literally everything is random. You could make the right play at the perfect time and the game would just not reward you… happened so many times to me already. For example wide open passes with high pass rating that just end up going out of bounds. That’s imo where you can see as clear as day that it’s completely up to rng wether you can make a play or not.
On a side note the Black Friday deals are weeks long now to prevent people from all goin shopping at the same time and fighting over the last 55 inc tv 😂
I think 2k isn’t using rng anymore, I think they are using EOMM just like BO6, because every single thing is animation based. The game is too dependent on Animation and it seems like the game seems like it chooses who gonna win before and then u have people making whites on high risk rewards
im a 1v1 player and it disappoints me as a guard I have to play post scoring guards every other game, when guards under 6’5 can’t even get post love lockdown… even if I give a 6’4 post control they can still abuse the post.
When my gf first saw me playing 25 she asked why does it look worse than 24 lol. I knew there was a problem since the beginning

Thanks to complainers, I can’t make my pay ups with a 93 layup or my threes with a 86. I’m slower. I can’t chase down block anymore.
It’s hard having fun.
We already went back to 2k24 bro ngl. 25 is cooked
Not everybody, trust me.
Theatre is the obvious answer, what I figured.
The games are quick, if your team is bad you’re not stuck there for 30mins.
I still prefer 3v3 Proving Grounds w/ or w/o friends but I get why people play theatre.
This is my first 2k since 21’, which I only got because it was on sale. But for some reason I hear no one talk about the ridiculous VC cost to upgrade/buy clothing etc and the extremely little you earn across all game modes. Like you should never have to play 15 MyCareer games just to be able to get a basic clothing item.
The catches are rng, the passes can be rng.. ive held left and its passed right and balls been stolen etc... the free throw window gets smaller when your up... And if your 6.6 and your opponent is 6.9. they can basically run through you lol.
Badgeplug hopefully you see this comment. You are absolutely correct 2k is dying so they are making the game with less skill so the lesser skilled people can still play and buy the game
Nothing the game can do to keep you folks happy and satisfied 😭😂 just play something else atp
i still think the underlying engine for this game is terrific. offline multiplayer feels amazing, runs incredibly smooth, and lets you actually appreciate the dribbling, off ball movement, and other shit the lag messes with online. there’s also less random bullshit like the blown layups, meta cheesing, ridiculous rebounding advantages. this game is honestly sooo close to being a good game that it’s infuriating seeing them progress away from an actual fun product
Everything you are saying in the first ten minutes is so true. Like yesterday I shoot 60% from 3 I have almost 8k points in the rec I know my shot I shoot on high risk and rhythm shoot but we be almost losing or losing to kids we shouldn’t like I know I’m not missing 4 threes in a row bc it’s me bc I can go to a garage court or my court and connect to a server so I get that real online game feel and hit 10 plus 3s in a row so me and boys definitely believe and have talked about everything your saying about the RNG shit is ridiculous
you said it best ppl forgot to enjoy the game this year and years recently too 😂😅
I know I’m a old head but I miss when they released a game and leave it alone
EVERYONE GO BACK TO 2k24!!!!!!!
Dis man js like to talk u been making vids like this since foreva😂
I totally agree with the statement that literally everything is random. You could make the right play at the perfect time and the game would just not reward you… happened so many times to me already. For example wide open passes with high pass rating that just end up going out of bounds. That’s imo where you can see as clear as day that it’s completely up to rng wether you can make a play or not.
Or when you need a clutch rebound and pg gets it over a center crazy work man
@ without even jumping for it too 💀
@@Hermann4L hate it
Don’t forget the emoting in the paint needs to be removed
I missed when people didn't do the same spam crossovers.. especially in 2k25 just to brick.
On a side note the Black Friday deals are weeks long now to prevent people from all goin shopping at the same time and fighting over the last 55 inc tv 😂
Is the javale McGee dunk package worth it? Making a build based off of that rn
The game play is alright. I hate that visual cue for shooting can be hugely inaccurate.
Out from 2k for like a month I just come to badge to get updated on whats going on😂
6:00 theatre is the most bc it’s where you get games the fastest therefore more games will be played
There is a “keep it a game logic” in 2k25.
2K24 was good man. Y'all realizing it now.
I think 2k isn’t using rng anymore, I think they are using EOMM just like BO6, because every single thing is animation based. The game is too dependent on Animation and it seems like the game seems like it chooses who gonna win before and then u have people making whites on high risk rewards
Can we also petition to restart our records in rec???? I’m better than I was before and I don’t like my average.
im a 1v1 player and it disappoints me as a guard I have to play post scoring guards every other game, when guards under 6’5 can’t even get post love lockdown… even if I give a 6’4 post control they can still abuse the post.
