Use to play EVERYDAY addicted to this game since 2k18 with 4-6 builds by now. Barely get 2-4 games a WEEK, 2 builds and close to quitting it’s that UNPLAYABLE💔
I love that they added a visual cue bar on the jumpshot creator then they made the green window move on every shot, completely undoing the reason for visual cue
@@mathewsb19951 yeah no the visual cue doesn't always stay the same. It depends on how the server is when you get into a match the visual cue is usally the same but it can change depending on how hard the delay hits.
Y’all beg for visual cue greens then wonder why ur green window moves 🤣. timing is how it should be… that way only way u miss is due to the defensive contest shrinking ur green window.. blame urselves.
I know I’m an old head on 2k, been running since 2k11 mycrews when people were usb stick uploading 7’6 MJ lookalikes. Been through the gamebattles years where everyone used the clippers, Knicks, lakers, okc, cheese. Where people used to sit out of bounds under the basket to not get a 3 second call. I’ve seen it all, but I always came back because I knew if I had my homies playing basketball the right way, cutting moving the ball, getting open, you could always have a fighting chance. If you had IQ and teamwork, you didn’t need to have the best animations, the optimal shot, the most fine tuned builds so that every person perfectly compliments each other. But every year, the skill gap reduces more and more and more. 2k rewards bad selfish gameplay. It rewards playing PNR with a 99 3 PG and a 99 O rebounding center and the other three sitting on the wings. It rewards not passing the ball with unrealistic steal animations. It rewards players with 0 perimeter defense and 99 steal just spamming X. It rewards lazy 2-3 zones instead of well balanced builds where you can actually defend. I don’t win or lose this year, the game just decides if I win or lose. And ya maybe I’m trash but I shouldn’t have to sweat all the time just to have fun playing basketball without needing to spend hours strategizing builds and animations and setups. Just let us hoop man. Reward us when we make a good basketball play. I guarantee if 2k does that, the community will be forced to adapt. And they can do it, but they won’t, cuz it doesn’t maximize the number of builds people pay for. We bought *NBA* 2k25 and people don’t even use nba teams anymore. There’s no substitutions, there’s no understanding who is capable of what. Some players can shoot only, some can only rebound, some are all around. That was so much fun. Now, you make your guy be good at one thing and that’s the only thing you need to do. And people see these legends like they’re nice, nah they just good little sheep that find the exploits in the system, and pay a bunch of money to do it too. At this point, I get one build and just ride with it. I get my basketball fix and I move on. Such a shame where we’ve gotten to.
5:35 I currently work a 4 day on 4 day off schedule and on my 4 days I decided to play 2K I must admit this game is the worst its ever been in years… It feels like I’m playing against my team, the opponent and some mysterious force that lets me make a shot when it wants to… I’m not kidding I’ve literally mistime my jumper on purpose and still hit the shot… Then people expect you to be a 5 star player on a 2 star game shit wack what this community and game has become.
Unfortunately, this is the worst iteration of 2K to date. In recent years, there has been a noticeable push to turn the game into a gambling simulation. This year, RNG have been amplified to the point where player control feels secondary, making the experience heavily dependent on chance. This approach preys on customers and borders on unethical business practices, exploiting its customer by fostering gambling addiction. In other years, players had more control over gameplay, but now the algorithm dictates the experience. This level of exploitation of the customer base is deeply concerning and should be illegal.
This! I’d take it a step further and say at times 2k flat out dictates your experience by inexplicably kicking you from games (usually a game you’re winning/playing extremely well), giving you lopsided matchups, even going so far as the song choice playing in the background that seems eerily reminiscent of your current gaming experience… I’m sure a lot of these insidious practices are designed to keep players constantly making new builds in hopes of addressing perceived weaknesses in their other builds.
We need NBA LIVE I'm tired of Mike Wang and Ronnie2K, get purple eyes rewards, doing my spin to get a banner, and buying VC just to realize I'm still unhappy 😡
Exactly bro 2K IS ASS NOW AND IT MAKES ME MAD, I guess they just don’t fucking care about the players anymore it’s so sad. 2K20 and 2K17 and 2K19 were probably my favorite 2Ks I just hope they make a better game next year, But knowing 2K they probably won’t 😭
VC started in 2k13 so been even longer than that lol been a whole decade of this shit and they only inflated it worse 2k13 was actually hella cheap compared to now
The only thing consistent about this game is that it's consistently stupid! Bricking wide open shots under the goal with a 92 close shot is dumb. I mean WIDE OPEN
I got back on 2K25 after a 2 week break and I didn’t get that feeling I usually get when I haven’t loaded it up in a while… I actually dreaded it, but played for the homies. This year’s “trash” is on a different level.
I feel like this year is evident that they dropped a game they thought they could patch and fix. But they added way to many things that they can’t patch
It is really bad, but I'm only able to play on Saturday and Sunday due to work, but when I get on I'm not tryna get off the game lol, so can't keep a squad together due to frustrating shooting, animations etc.... then it's off to another game
I’m so numb to 2K news, like how long are we still going to watch videos about people complaining about 2K. At this point if you’re still playing all power to you keep playing. Whoever don’t like the game stop complaining about it and don’t play anymore. I’m done hearing about 2K. Let’s move on, content creators move on. if you like the gameplay, if you don’t plain and simple, let’s make more news of something else.
@ I don’t know what rock you live under bro, but I think the whole community for years have expressed what they want for 2K and 2K turned around and did the opposite. We were asking for them just to fix the game fix issues in the game that makes it unplayable that’s all we wanted, but now we got this crap.
@@Cuzzo-On-TH-cam 2k has given the community exactly what they asked for. Ppl complained and said they wanted whites going in. Ppl wanted more realistic game play. Years ago ppl said they wanted affiliations back. They have been listening to the community, just the wrong part of the community. The same people that complained the shooting was to hard last year and the patched it so everyone could shoot. People need to start placing the necessary amount of blame on the community.
@@Cuzzo-On-TH-camthis isn’t true though they’ve removed and added things we wanted it’s just we aren’t a HIVE mind we are all different people with different opinions on this subject so it’s not simple to just listen and go but you’re 1000% right bro it’s about time we all just take it in this year and decide what next year holds for you some should probably let it go (me included) some should keep playing cause it’s not going anywhere
I keep saying this… the 1yr life cycle is 2ks problem. The game is usually in a bad state until sometime in January. A 2 year life cycle is much needed… they can easily add features and updates to the game and city that will keep us playing for 2 years but they have no incentive to such
The fact that all guards are using garland dribble styles just tells you how bad this game is. No other dribble style can compete compared to garland dribble style
That is just the community being unoriginal, and thats nothing new. I use 80% of kobe Bryants animations on my ISO build and i drop everybody off. Fuck competing, i out shine the garland dribble moves 😂 alot of people do use that weak ass animation but its not because the game is bad or because there isnt any other option. Everyone is just a copy cat that cant compete without a current “meta” their favorite youtuber says
I've seen the rise and fall of 2k from since playing 2k14. And I don't think Allcity is complaining Its like me I don't complain about the game I'm just disappointed that it's gotten this far for the game to be this rubbish. It's frustrating because we saw how good 2k was.. but with all the technology and stuff you'd think they'd implement that to make the game better, not worst! The game has been bad this year and I think the 2k Devs know it.
I promise you watched and ran straight to the comments. It’s a known FACT mufuckas stopped playing this trash ass game much EARLIER than any other 2k. Fact is, this is the most TERRIBLE 2k to release on Next Gen consoles. They have had plenty of time to get this shit right and they STILL keep messing it up
Nothing worst than 2K making you time your shot making it feel like your in control of the timing with the button and 2K know damm well that green window ain’t there. Better yet get finessed in the REC with the other team making more whites than green. I thought the team that makes the most greens suppose to win??? 2K will make up whatever to make you lose a game that you legit won. 2K26 better be green or miss or that shit staying on the shelf.
And yall believe it and buy it every year. Do what the ea community has done and abandon it which you see they stopped working on basketball to improve. Other wise it’s going to be the same thing every year
We WERE the ea community lol when ea couldn’t get it together we flocked to 2k exclusively… The problem is there isn’t any other legitimate competition to flock to. If you want video game basketball you HAVE to play 2k. Hence their “if you don’t like it then don’t play” attitude.
@ you don’t have to play it. Show them that you don’t wanna put up with there non sense and not buy the game which everyone wont do. So what ends up happening is that people buy the game, complain about it 2 months later and say they will never buy a 2k game then turns around buys next years copy.
@DETERMINOLOGY what you're saying is obviously unrealistic. You can't make 10 million people stop buying 2k. Start criticizing the game. That's the only option
@ people do that but the buyouts overtake that. Show the action by not buying it or don’t complain. If your buying the game and complaining they not going to listen and they will still be 2k
Y’all do say the game is trash every year lol lot of y’all livin in the past… it’s never goin to be how it was before… take it for what it is or just don’t play it lol
lol don’t do that bruh you gone break my heart let us oldies have hope this game is rough I like a challenge but it’s almost like this year is you’re constantly trying to beat 2k and the bs and not as much focus on your opponent 😂
I started playin in 2k8 and I feel once they actually finish the pro play system we’re gonna see an entirely different game, even though things aren’t good this year if we look at gameplay from a broad perspective (leave the crazy animations out💀)this actually looks like more fluid and realistic than most 2ks they just need to find the middle ground in realsim and arcade
25 is BY FAR the worst shit I ever played. It’s so bad we can’t even call this shit a game. It’s not qualified enough to be called a game. Idk what this shit is. You kno it’s bad when it feels like the game has been out for at least 6/7 months and it’s only been damn near 3.5 🤦🏾♂️ I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO DISAPPEAR
this year sucks i use to play consistently on my career. i barely finished the first season. the animations and dribbling i just can’t anymore. i play maybe once a week or none at all.
Yall gonna be on 2k26 saying the same thing. The cycle never ends lol. 2k content creators better take a page out of agent 0s book and leave while they can lol
Every single game next year they should take steals out and give everybody the same the ability to play lanes but make it like everybody has bronze interceptor.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again … every year it’s the same chain of events with 2k (I.e release … pre-patch … then defense patch … complaints … then shooting patch following a series of shooting patches mixed in with a dribble and dunk patch … followed by 2k community day). I’ve said for years now, 2k needs to part ways with Mike Wang and go in a different direction of gameplay and server stability.
The vacuum and ghosting is annoying. Alot of sweaty players know all the kinks and glitches and they spam the hell out of em, makes the game not fun and what makes it worst is they troll, like what they shows skill. They are using a setting or certain players or teams with height then playing a 2/3 zone.
50 hrs a week on a video game is OD if u r not a content creator or pro gamer! That’s damn near a full work day of gaming 7 days a week, go get some sun lol
Yeah the developers for Helldivers 2 made me realize I was being treated like complete shit by 2k. Smfh. That’s why that game won multiplayer game of the year 🤷🏾♂️
Shit Madden ass but it’s still giving players something like we can’t even get Christmas events pertaining to the city but I got a Tesla truck to drive and cool dances
If I get 2k26 for free I'll play. I overpaid for 25's standard edition, and as far as optimization goes. I've been saying the same thing about 2k24 they just need to improve on what was already there, but here we are quitting 2k or gaming in general because for some of us 2k was the only game we played.
Yea brute was saying they like to make the game the same for two years but it’s more like every other 2 years is the same game then they switch it up completely only thing they keep the same is this wack ass city!!!
1. make whites only allowed in park and offline modes 2. take out "sbmm" 3. fix the physics 4. take ai out of rec 5. make high pass acc give clean catches again. boom perfection
Both Interior defense and contest system need a buff. Better dribbling animations and finishing for guards. Reduce out of bounds sensitivity. No Moore fluke rebound animations. Allow centers to throw better fast breaks.
Yea I mean these are all amazing ideas brothers but cmon “fix the physics” take out “sbmm” you might as well say make builds free and badge caps unlimited it’s just too easy that’s it’s stupid sbmm ain’t leaving and physics is just that until they change engines or overall flip the game upside down
@@fIagrantfouI ong but hopefully they hear us now and make changes to the next game also i think 2k would honestly be in a better place if they didnt try to revamp the game every year and actually stuck with a system and build on it 2k24 was in my opinion the best since 2k20 and yet they decided to completely flip the game on its head but ay at least the awards are good
@@cartrellbouknight410 i really dont think these are ideas they’re honestly necessary, and a game like 2k has all the resources in the world to fix the engine and tbh if they would have kept last years engine and just built on it this game would be far better. Im sure 2k26 will have ultra pro play and it will fix every issue ever😅
"2K currently holds a monopoly on basketball games, and it's clear they've lost all passion for the sport. Their focus seems entirely on generating profit rather than improving the gaming experience. Despite having some of the worst servers in gaming history, the game still generates revenue year after year. We continue to buy it, investing hundreds of dollars into player builds, only to realize that it was all a waste. Ultimately, the responsibility falls on the players who keep fueling this cycle by putting money into a game that doesn't live up to expectations."
i play about 1-2 hours a day during the week & maybe 4 hours a day over the weekend. only reason i play as often as i do is because i want the level 40 cap breaker award & i spent money on my build so i feel like i gotta play to get my money’s worth.
2k can’t even make a simple gameplay update without breaking the game, what were they expecting trying to update the entire motion capture system?? 😂😂😂😂😂
I play 24. I have 25 as well, im not too happy with it. It feels like I have no control over the game. I can't even get to the paint. 2k feels weighed down this year.
Assuming they drop a $20 game and advise they will make adjustments as they game progresses. They had a whole year to drop a triple A game, what in their history can we look at that they will correct or make a good game in any cycle. When the foundation is flawed no amount of cosmetics will fix the structure!
Recently I’m starting to feel like I don’t have control over my player when I’m playing rec. I started playing 2K recently 2K22 and 2K25 is by far the worst 2K I have played. 2K24 was the most enjoyable for me.
I turned passive dribble back on - no difference . When it’s off my player will still hit tween crosses and crossovers without using the right stick at all. You’re never in full control of the dribbling unless you’re a LR spammer
I only played 100 games season 1 and 2 . I didn’t get online even since i figured that it was wasting my time, playing a game that looks the same as 10 Years ago
same Developer DA CZAR been there like Forever.....nba 2k18 plays DIFFERENT than nba 2k23......BUT THE CORE ALWAYS been the SAME Since DAy ONE 1.....2k Always Been 2k......What if 2k is BUILT from the ground UP??? and ....2k is BeTTER than Themselves
Everyone keep hating on nba 2k18 but it set the standard for others 2k games to come forward but now nba 2k25 is here there just killing the franchise with and running with it
Just a Thought. If 2K incorporated Dynamic goals within online play. For extra rep. That would make the game better. For example in Rec. Win quarter by 10 pts. Or Stop opposing team for 3 consecutive possession. Then the winning team would get that additional rep percentage.
They used to but then mfs started being addicted to the goals for rep and would basically ruin the game 2k23 1000 pts in the rec had these fools chucking all game to get legend something’s people just can’t handle
The problem is just as we get used to the last 2K iteration a new one drops with completely different sliders and animations. So these guys cry and moan bout how trash the new release is cause they want something similar to what they are used to.
He said “Why do they charge full price for this game” ? The answer is very simple…. Because they kn😢you WILL PAY full price and after that YOU WILL buy VC as well
Great vid and solid points. We been getting betas for years! I just wish people would stop spending money on this game! Only way we will see real change
Imagine just needing a battery for a car… and deciding to completely rebuild the motor only to find it still won’t crank. Fix the issues big and small to maximize the platform before implementing a new one. That simple. Also I feel like the game is so slow because it’s way too many variables at play. Like have u ever had an open shot and it feels like it’s an intentional hitch or lag in ur shot that not supposed to be there. I just feel like that the game way of saying u won’t make this no matter what… and it’s always slightly late. Get a set number of badges per category a small amount like 5-6 for each playmaking finishing defense rebounding and physicals. Rebounding no longer offensive and defensive. If ur short with a high rebound that should weigh very heavily on ur builder. Strength on guards capped according to height. Just simple stuff that they never think of. Like this year did they think people wasn’t gonna come out with overly short guards with 90+ strength if u make it where they can have several legend badges? Nothing against small guards but speed should be their only advantage… nope they going into paint and getting bully animations on 7 footers for layups in the beginning… but then make a 7fter miss a layup on defense. The game has lost all logic… at this point just give everyone access to all the animations and call it even…
I’m of the opinion that the moment updates became a thing, companies didn’t have to release a complete game anymore
Also the micro transactions fam we gotta paywhile they “figure it out” smfh
Both of these are goated comments.
Yup you said it there’s still a few companies that don’t rely on updates but it’s definitely there
2k should be like Fortnite. We don't need a whole damn new game every year. Just Updates to keep it fresh.

I’m standing on updating the servers would fix 90% of issues
Nah it’s the animation system, fixing servers won’t fix the animation transitions
Definitely more than servers
@ maybe but we won’t know until the change happens 🤷🏾♂️
@ for sure however starting with the servers would be the best place to start for us to get smoother gameplay across all modes and build from there
I’m sorry but if anyone thinks that 23 is not better than 25 go see Micheal and stop it get some help 😂
I've seen the rise and fall of 2k from since playing 2k14. And I don't think Allcity is complaining Its like me I don't complain about the game I'm just disappointed that it's gotten this far for the game to be this rubbish. It's frustrating because we saw how good 2k was.. but with all the technology and stuff you'd think they'd implement that to make the game better, not worst! The game has been bad this year and I think the 2k Devs know it.
Bruh u make this same video every year .. dafuuk u talkin bout u still gonna buy the next 2k smh
You are not lying at all it's too fucking funny 🤣🤣 That's why his word fall on deaf ears sometimes
I feel like he deleted 2k24 so many times last year.
I promise you watched and ran straight to the comments. It’s a known FACT mufuckas stopped playing this trash ass game much EARLIER than any other 2k. Fact is, this is the most TERRIBLE 2k to release on Next Gen consoles. They have had plenty of time to get this shit right and they STILL keep messing it up
@@RyoCoola yeah you would know that because you be around him a lot he probably told you to get up and wash your face🤣🤣
@@Scarfo_ Is this comedy? It is awful. Do better. Literally just saw his videos earlier in the year like any other subscriber.
9000 animations that can’t be used. Worse 2k ever.
Like I said before, all the good 2k devs are working on GTA 😂
Stop that narrative they don't work on $hit. It's all copy and paste with new map
lol except they’re division doesn’t handle gta but ik what you mean 😂😂😂 take two trying to inflate those shark cards for gta 6
Nothing worst than 2K making you time your shot making it feel like your in control of the timing with the button and 2K know damm well that green window ain’t there. Better yet get finessed in the REC with the other team making more whites than green. I thought the team that makes the most greens suppose to win??? 2K will make up whatever to make you lose a game that you legit won. 2K26 better be green or miss or that shit staying on the shelf.
And yall believe it and buy it every year. Do what the ea community has done and abandon it which you see they stopped working on basketball to improve. Other wise it’s going to be the same thing every year
We WERE the ea community lol when ea couldn’t get it together we flocked to 2k exclusively… The problem is there isn’t any other legitimate competition to flock to. If you want video game basketball you HAVE to play 2k. Hence their “if you don’t like it then don’t play” attitude.
@ you don’t have to play it. Show them that you don’t wanna put up with there non sense and not buy the game which everyone wont do. So what ends up happening is that people buy the game, complain about it 2 months later and say they will never buy a 2k game then turns around buys next years copy.
@Successworththegrind when EA bought the NFL license, it ruined sports gaming.
@DETERMINOLOGY what you're saying is obviously unrealistic. You can't make 10 million people stop buying 2k. Start criticizing the game. That's the only option
@ people do that but the buyouts overtake that. Show the action by not buying it or don’t complain. If your buying the game and complaining they not going to listen and they will still be 2k
Finally one of the main content creators not on the fence. Thank you for speaking the truth and calling this game trash
Y’all do say the game is trash every year lol lot of y’all livin in the past… it’s never goin to be how it was before… take it for what it is or just don’t play it lol
lol don’t do that bruh you gone break my heart let us oldies have hope this game is rough I like a challenge but it’s almost like this year is you’re constantly trying to beat 2k and the bs and not as much focus on your opponent 😂
2k was never a bad game until TH-camrs came in the picture .
🤫... They don't wanna hear that
Exactly
I started playin in 2k8 and I feel once they actually finish the pro play system we’re gonna see an entirely different game, even though things aren’t good this year if we look at gameplay from a broad perspective (leave the crazy animations out💀)this actually looks like more fluid and realistic than most 2ks they just need to find the middle ground in realsim and arcade
25 is BY FAR the worst shit I ever played. It’s so bad we can’t even call this shit a game. It’s not qualified enough to be called a game. Idk what this shit is. You kno it’s bad when it feels like the game has been out for at least 6/7 months and it’s only been damn near 3.5 🤦🏾♂️ I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO DISAPPEAR
this year sucks i use to play consistently on my career. i barely finished the first season. the animations and dribbling i just can’t anymore.
i play maybe once a week or none at all.
Yall gonna be on 2k26 saying the same thing. The cycle never ends lol. 2k content creators better take a page out of agent 0s book and leave while they can lol
I was legend 15 16 17 then again in 22 but now I play like 3 park games once every few weeks.. Crazy
My main complaint is that they said steals were patched but dudes still playing lanes like they on the 01 ravens.
Every single game next year they should take steals out and give everybody the same the ability to play lanes but make it like everybody has bronze interceptor.
It’s just sad, I don’t even get excited to play the game bruh
Glad I took a break… I’ve been playing so many different games… Games that actually LISTEN to their community when it comes to updates 😮💨😮💨
Yea man this yr no matter Wht I do, I can not ! As soon as I think I got it ,,, I DONT 😢
What I hate is the motion when defending is different to the motion when dribbling
I wish 2k24 would just come back somehow
Is so bad right now that i used to play hours a day and now i play 2 to 3 recs every few days games hoping the fix it
I agree this year its way different but I still stand on the the fact that players say this every year
Did 2k ban a bunch of people? My rank went up over a thousand and I haven’t played in 4 days.
They probably just got rid of all the PC players with the update.
Nah people just not playing any more . I can't see how people made it to vet 2
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again … every year it’s the same chain of events with 2k (I.e release … pre-patch … then defense patch … complaints … then shooting patch following a series of shooting patches mixed in with a dribble and dunk patch … followed by 2k community day). I’ve said for years now, 2k needs to part ways with Mike Wang and go in a different direction of gameplay and server stability.
The vacuum and ghosting is annoying. Alot of sweaty players know all the kinks and glitches and they spam the hell out of em, makes the game not fun and what makes it worst is they troll, like what they shows skill. They are using a setting or certain players or teams with height then playing a 2/3 zone.
Pro Play has been very wack so far. And the fact that it's not fully "ready" yet we pay full price is super-wack.
50 hrs a week on a video game is OD if u r not a content creator or pro gamer! That’s damn near a full work day of gaming 7 days a week, go get some sun lol
Yup definitely been on POE 2 for the past week haven’t played 2k much
2k is done I just switched over to PlayStation so I got enough games to play until gta 6 comes out
Yeah the developers for Helldivers 2 made me realize I was being treated like complete shit by 2k. Smfh. That’s why that game won multiplayer game of the year 🤷🏾♂️
That game trash also , so that's not saying much
Shit Madden ass but it’s still giving players something like we can’t even get Christmas events pertaining to the city but I got a Tesla truck to drive and cool dances
If I get 2k26 for free I'll play. I overpaid for 25's standard edition, and as far as optimization goes. I've been saying the same thing about 2k24 they just need to improve on what was already there, but here we are quitting 2k or gaming in general because for some of us 2k was the only game we played.
Yea brute was saying they like to make the game the same for two years but it’s more like every other 2 years is the same game then they switch it up completely only thing they keep the same is this wack ass city!!!
2k26 will be exactly like every year. Nothing will change.
GTA sounds better and better everyday
On point as usual 💯
Shooting is so inconsistent. I can’t do this anymore
2k25 had so much potential season one…now it is TERRIBLE now that we lived with it 3 months.
1. make whites only allowed in park and offline modes 2. take out "sbmm" 3. fix the physics 4. take ai out of rec 5. make high pass acc give clean catches again. boom perfection
Both Interior defense and contest system need a buff. Better dribbling animations and finishing for guards. Reduce out of bounds sensitivity. No Moore fluke rebound animations. Allow centers to throw better fast breaks.
At this point we’re asking for too much. Their attention is on 2k26.
Yea I mean these are all amazing ideas brothers but cmon “fix the physics” take out “sbmm” you might as well say make builds free and badge caps unlimited it’s just too easy that’s it’s stupid sbmm ain’t leaving and physics is just that until they change engines or overall flip the game upside down
@@fIagrantfouI ong but hopefully they hear us now and make changes to the next game also i think 2k would honestly be in a better place if they didnt try to revamp the game every year and actually stuck with a system and build on it 2k24 was in my opinion the best since 2k20 and yet they decided to completely flip the game on its head but ay at least the awards are good
@@cartrellbouknight410 i really dont think these are ideas they’re honestly necessary, and a game like 2k has all the resources in the world to fix the engine and tbh if they would have kept last years engine and just built on it this game would be far better. Im sure 2k26 will have ultra pro play and it will fix every issue ever😅
"2K currently holds a monopoly on basketball games, and it's clear they've lost all passion for the sport. Their focus seems entirely on generating profit rather than improving the gaming experience. Despite having some of the worst servers in gaming history, the game still generates revenue year after year. We continue to buy it, investing hundreds of dollars into player builds, only to realize that it was all a waste. Ultimately, the responsibility falls on the players who keep fueling this cycle by putting money into a game that doesn't live up to expectations."
Its crazy cuz this the best balanced 2k we have ever gotten. Problem is the gameplay is also the worst its ever been. How does that even work smh
i play about 1-2 hours a day during the week & maybe 4 hours a day over the weekend. only reason i play as often as i do is because i want the level 40 cap breaker award & i spent money on my build so i feel like i gotta play to get my money’s worth.
I don’t notice any dribbling changes
2k can’t even make a simple gameplay update without breaking the game, what were they expecting trying to update the entire motion capture system?? 😂😂😂😂😂
I play 24. I have 25 as well, im not too happy with it. It feels like I have no control over the game. I can't even get to the paint. 2k feels weighed down this year.
Assuming they drop a $20 game and advise they will make adjustments as they game progresses. They had a whole year to drop a triple A game, what in their history can we look at that they will correct or make a good game in any cycle. When the foundation is flawed no amount of cosmetics will fix the structure!
One of the dumbest animations on the game is wen u try to fade in the mid range and it makes u go into a lay up animation
Recently I’m starting to feel like I don’t have control over my player when I’m playing rec. I started playing 2K recently 2K22 and 2K25 is by far the worst 2K I have played. 2K24 was the most enjoyable for me.
I turned passive dribble back on - no difference . When it’s off my player will still hit tween crosses and crossovers without using the right stick at all. You’re never in full control of the dribbling unless you’re a LR spammer
The catches are f**king terrible in this game…. Hopped on 23(old gen) and had no problems catching a ball, and it was way more responsive, crazy
Like every years, after all these patches, the game looks the same for years now…
Ye I've quit this game now. Used to play constantly but since I've taken a break, I just cant get back into it.
PoE2 is dope af. Been playing since release.
How many pro play animations? "It's over 9000!" (Breaks scouter)
0:49 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Not gone lie man … it was the goat 2k opening day imo … after all the patches it’s just 2k24 with bugs and inconsistent “pro play” animations ….
I only played 100 games season 1 and 2 . I didn’t get online even since i figured that it was wasting my time, playing a game that looks the same as 10
Years ago
Have you thought for a second that just maybe everyone is getting older and that season pass has made the game feel rinse and repeat
same Developer DA CZAR been there like Forever.....nba 2k18 plays DIFFERENT than nba 2k23......BUT THE CORE ALWAYS been the SAME Since DAy ONE 1.....2k Always Been 2k......What if 2k is BUILT from the ground UP??? and ....2k is BeTTER than Themselves
Every time it update my players play worst
Everyone keep hating on nba 2k18 but it set the standard for others 2k games to come forward but now nba 2k25 is here there just killing the franchise with and running with it
Ooo 2kkkkkk, we need the muscle shirt back before they take control of my animations, imma keep it a buck wit y’all 2k take control of my money
Just a Thought. If 2K incorporated Dynamic goals within online play. For extra rep. That would make the game better.
For example in Rec. Win quarter by 10 pts. Or Stop opposing team for 3 consecutive possession. Then the winning team would get that additional rep percentage.
They used to but then mfs started being addicted to the goals for rep and would basically ruin the game 2k23 1000 pts in the rec had these fools chucking all game to get legend something’s people just can’t handle
The problem is just as we get used to the last 2K iteration a new one drops with completely different sliders and animations. So these guys cry and moan bout how trash the new release is cause they want something similar to what they are used to.
He said “Why do they charge full price for this game” ? The answer is very simple…. Because they kn😢you WILL PAY full price and after that YOU WILL buy VC as well
We need honesty City. Really getting tired of streamers just trying to get a logo!
I used to be addicted but now I only play career mode
Great vid and solid points. We been getting betas for years! I just wish people would stop spending money on this game! Only way we will see real change
It's just not the same, I try playing at a slow pace and the animations are still uncontrollable.
4:29 facts🎉
Everybody getting exposed 2024 2k included
Swag has been taken for this opus 😂
GTA 6 coming out next year 2k is over
Imagine just needing a battery for a car… and deciding to completely rebuild the motor only to find it still won’t crank. Fix the issues big and small to maximize the platform before implementing a new one. That simple. Also I feel like the game is so slow because it’s way too many variables at play. Like have u ever had an open shot and it feels like it’s an intentional hitch or lag in ur shot that not supposed to be there. I just feel like that the game way of saying u won’t make this no matter what… and it’s always slightly late. Get a set number of badges per category a small amount like 5-6 for each playmaking finishing defense rebounding and physicals. Rebounding no longer offensive and defensive. If ur short with a high rebound that should weigh very heavily on ur builder. Strength on guards capped according to height. Just simple stuff that they never think of. Like this year did they think people wasn’t gonna come out with overly short guards with 90+ strength if u make it where they can have several legend badges? Nothing against small guards but speed should be their only advantage… nope they going into paint and getting bully animations on 7 footers for layups in the beginning… but then make a 7fter miss a layup on defense. The game has lost all logic… at this point just give everyone access to all the animations and call it even…
