NBA 2K23 is Trash and It's Time We do Something About It

- Petition for the relaunch of NBA Live 24 - chng.it/qyWvFvXXdv
When NBA Live and NBA 2k were both releasing new games every year we ended up with some of the best basketball games ever made. Now we're going on lunch dates.
PLEASE try to get the attention of other channels you watch and let's turn this video game industry up a notch.
p.s. EA is worth $17 billion more than (2K)Take Two... who do you think has a better shot at bringing back NCAA Basketball Video Games?

Seeing a lot of you focusing in on gta in the comments. We like open world games and we like sport games, why not combine them? We have the technology to do it so what are we waiting for? Yes the game would be bigger… It’s like the time we added a camera to a phone, seemed unnecessary at first but now it’s one of the most important features.
Now that I think about it, a camera feature would actually be great
@@nathanielm5367 wdym a camera feature
name one developer from 2K23 team that worked on gta
@@stringdex what would I know about any game developers
I don't think a gta-like world in 2k would work, seeing as though 2k operates on a 1 year turnaround. They wouldn't have enough time to make it look good or operate seamlessly as we would like. There's so many bugs that come with 2k every game, so imagine how many bugs would come with an open world...
The mycareer writers need to be fired fr💀
Yeah that dialogue is cringey
All they needed to do is to tie all the "drama" with the NBA itself. Yeah we might be following KD's tweets but ultimately it's how he plays the game of basketball, and how he dealt with the game itself, his organization and teammates that we care for. Imagine if we get cutscenes due to good/poor performance in games, options to spend your off-season time improving your game and that take you to different paths like getting traded or getting minutes. Instead we get a gf, a city we don't care about, and some cringe dialogue written by some poor bloke who obviously isn't writing story for a living.
the shit in their storylines don’t even make since, why the hell is there such beef between the 17th and 18th picks
It’s always been cringe I think they get paid better the more cringe it is
I liked the game so far, putting everything that frosti sad in 1 year is impossible, it will take time. The storyline is kinda of cool, a lot of cringe scenes, but the whole vibe, I mean the arena, city doing some task outside of basketball give me good immersion, and as someone who dreamed to one day be a NBA player it kind of gives me a little taste. I know it sound stupid lol. There is a few things I think they could have done, like making possible to skip the story if you want, putting HS, College and combine before the NBA, and making VC more acessible through grinding. But so far the gameplay seems better, more balanced online games, at least until now, and the MyLeague is kinda of dope with the eras, different graphics and gameplays.I think the community sucks, tbh, and no matter the storyline everyone would have hated it, I don’t think it’s horrible as some people say, for me the biggest issue is that the game seem to get some progress every 3 to 4 years. Problaby if NBA Live comes back it wouldn’t sell nearly as much as 2K but at least would add some competition. Side note: the fact that kids play this game and they want to keep it family friendly makes it impossible for people to curse in the story, that’s why when Shep is talking trash and there are rap battles everything gets cringe af.
For me the biggest problem is my career doesn't feel like MY career, I feel like I'm playing as someone else, I want to write my own story, not the story of someone else. The early 2k games, you could build your own character, you weren't someone else. 2k needs to allow people freedom to create their own story, not force-feed them somebody else's career and tell them it's theirs
You mean having choice that actually matters
@@theonlywalltostareat5808 pretty much exactly what i was trying to say yeah.
Great idea. Perfectly said
they might as well just call it career forreal. or story mode. its definitely not MY career. i mean christ, what was it, 2k18, you were a dj or some shit and played streetball?! whose idea was that? you should be able to choose a path. like maybe one option is youre a high school star, recruited to all the major colleges. based on your decisions, maybe you go over seas instead of college. maybe you pick a team like duke or unc and end up on the bench your first year, enter the draft the next and it has an actual effect on the game. maybe you can choose to be a walk on, have a chance to earn a spot and make something of it. you should be able to start YOUR career in highschool, or college, or just the nba if you dont feel like dealing with all the nonsense. but yea, perfectly said. it definitely isnt MY career. its theirs. i try to skip as much as possible these days, and by the time i can get to meaningful games, im ready to turn off the game.
That’s a great point 👍
2K17’s story was legit the last best one. The OJ dynamic was so good.
it was the last best story and also the last best game too tbh.
Bro? 2k17 barely even had a story. I played 2k17 all the way until late 2022 when i got 2k23. 2k23 beats the game in everyway and I thought 2k17 was fun af.
2k23 has way less cheese, the badge system is 100x better, the 2k23 story is better despite its flaws, better gameplay, more content etc.
Mfs literally hated 2k17 but suddenly its one of the best 2ks 😂 trash fanbase
@@chisome1777 2k17 had enjoyment you can play 2k17 all day and have fun there was different parks and everything every 2k since then is garbage i play 2 games then immediately wanna shoot myself in the face like 2k17 at least had good teams you cant hop on with randoms anymore everyone just sucks ass in every game mode rec park everybody is just ass
@@hatedtonio Let me get this straight, the reason 2k23 is garbage compared to 2k17....is that the randoms you get with are garbage.
Nah bro this community doomed 💀💀
@@chisome1777 nah thats not the reason retard the badge system sucks ass the different timings on jumpshots depending on what mode your playing is stupid asf the my career is complete garbage and cringe asf they lock you out of nba games if you dont do some stupid ass waste of time quests that reward wit 3k vc at most IF YOU EVEN GET VC FROM THEM and it gets you no where i can’t believe this game actually sold 2k devs should be ashamed of themselves
What i kinda want in 2k is that if your myplayer ever wins a championship title, you can see the banner on the stadium through out the gameplay or having an interaction whenever you plan on changing jersey numbers that you can only do after the end of the season. Those little things would've been nice to see thou.
Exactly its sucks they dont put your banners up or even acknowledge u for winning a championship the prior year makes the story hella boring & another small thing they took out is to represent the city your from
@@1Leeky- fr cant even see your championship banner during games at home arena and it felt boring after 1 in game season of playing
2K has been like this for years now, this year it sucks that people have to pay extra money for their build. paying minimum of 60$ for the game + 100$ for their builds to upgrade their attributes (as stated by Kenny) isn't fair to the players and their bank accounts
Idgi, I got my guy up to the high 80s and doing well against real people without spending a single dollar or no life grinding. the game has always been like this too. I just think ppl dont know ball or suck at the game lmao
@@sk33t_38 facts
@@sk33t_38 VC is outrageous this year. It's over 450k to max any build.
@@JDUBB2399 lmao jfc who cares. play the game actually instead of buying your way to max ovr. ppl cant be this dumb theres no way. I have a full time job and still get my guys maxed, yall are wasting your own money.
I mean I don’t care about the price of VC because to me any price is too expensive I already payed for the game, that being said like the guy above said it’s all possible without spending…… for now
This is an actual serious video, and it's for something a lot of people care about, I appreciate that man
anyone who wants EA back into any sports game is unserious. To think that will end in anything other than them securing rights and us ending up with the same scenario but now with EA is lying to themselves.
@@sk33t_38 FACTS
@@sk33t_38 he didn’t say he wanted them back in the game as an alternative, he said he wanted EA back in the game so 2K has competition & will make a better game.
@@crackheadjoedirt I know.......and that wont happen and will either end in an acquisition or the publishing rights being moved to EA. The best situation is a community funded game developed by a great dev team. There already was the competition and it ended where we are now. EA was making Live games when 2k was making theirs and 2Ks were almost always better after 2007. This can all be solved by either crowdsourcing a game fans want, or by simply NOT BUYING THE FUCKING GAME FOR ONLY ONE YEAR. Apparently the latter is too hard to do for the very people who bitch about the game every year the most.
Is it serious though? Dude was talking about making another game into the game. What does driving and a even bigger city have to do with basketball? Mf just play gta 6 when it comes out.
i am sad to see where this franchise has been going. a lot of us grew up with basketball and it is apart of our lives. year by year us hoopers will forever play but we can no longer enjoy the video game aspect too.
Games today are mostly awful, particularly the big releases. They bloated, buggy, and exploitative messes. They think adding more to do makes it better. Just about every big release has quite a few fun parts, but finding those moments are like doing your homework before you can go out and play. I miss the days you could turn on a game and you knew every minute from there on out you would be engaged and having fun. No busy work. No needless treasure chest hunting or musical note finding. Just turn on the game and enjoy the gameplay loop.
A part
I agree with you bro. A new company just needs to create their own nba game because as long as 2k has no comp they will never even try to update the game.
i come home to watch 20 cutscenes and play 1 mycareer game
I come home to watch Provoke play as Ice Spice
i mean you can skip them
@@Yvnggoonxl effects your contract
Make injuries a randomised factor, trades with destinations you can't control based on your performance and contribution to the team, flactuating minutes based on form and status of other team members. Basically the league to be a self determining entity instead of everything revolving around you. Make us work for star status and still face the realities of the business side of the sport.
And for God sakes make seasons beyond the rookie one enriched with sensible rookie regens that don't look like some concentration camp genetic experiments splicing humans with fish
too tier comment
Yoooo 😂, I had 2 rookies on my team in current gen 2k22 and they looked almost exactly the same and looked like genetic experiments it was discussing. Once I could control minutes I took away their playing time 💀
My center injured like 3 cpu already in mycareer in 1 year. Don't drive the lane 😂
Bro I just wanna get badges
Injuries are random. Shit KD got injured first game of the season and was out like 3-5 weeks.
This game is atrocious. Can’t play a single game without 10 quests or having to grind rails with my skateboard even though 2k didn’t even try to add good skateboard physics. Having this whole shep story even though I’m averaging 50 ppg and he’s averaging 10. Don’t understand how 2k’s still going backwards
I think the asking for girlfriends, cars, a city, etc. is what got us in this problem in the first place. The reason I don’t buy and play 2k anymore is because of the incredibly dumb stories, long cutscenes, and the need to spend like $5 in VC just to have a sleeve and a wristband on my player. I think we need a complete overhaul, not just taking what we already have and add in a “big booty Latina” and ability to customize and drive cars.
Absolutely. I just want to play basketball. That’s it . It’s been downhill ever since they discovered micro transactions. I remember when every animation was free in the game.
Well it’s only so much you can do in a basketball simulation so for people to want to expand and add more things isn’t the problem imo it’s the fact 2k half does things and makes it woke and full of micro transactions
what trouble? they never added any of those things haha so what are you talking about.. They have a city.. you cant even sit on a bench... what are you talking about?
@@christophernabors6631 Big Booty latina is crazy 😭
And u not hearing what Frosti is saying. He like all of us just wants more options .Why can't we choose our Nba path. Why can't we buy cars and drive them. Why can't we get the baddest chicks . At this point of time 2k could literally make mycareer a crazy experience but their lazy and have no comp
Disappointed you didn't touch on the VC situation. Payouts and rewards are lower and the cost of upgrades are higher than ever.
Yeah I thought this was gonna be the main thing
How can he 😂😂😂 he got 105,000 vc
Facts my salary per game shouldn’t be less than the cost of a pair of Jordans lol
Just say you’re broke
@@MONCOLPSY u waste ur money on 2k VC, shut the fuck up LMFAO
I started watching your content and I'm loving every minute of it. Doesn't matter if its a sport game or not I just enjoy your humor and everything else lmao
“Left right online so you don’t have to do your geometry homework” 🤣🔥💀
My career sucks but the rest of this game is relatively valid. You're better just doing a myleague then import your player. Been like that. Completely agree with the rest
Everything else is not valid ppl either exploiting fades or rim running all game but complained about left right
Also, I’ve always wondered why a sports game hasn’t done this. Charge x amount of $ every year for an update ($10-$20 for example) and update the game and rosters. We don’t need a brand new game every year. If they did what you’re saying and just do “seasons” like COD or Fortnite they would be rolllllllling in even more cash.
They do seasons
@@BreakdownRow you mean patches on builds make player create new builds and Myteam packs making sure last weeks new card are absolutely trash this week. This isn’t season it’s pay wall.
you missed a big one lol GTA!! gta5 has been around for how long? and sooo many people still play and pay money. i would say its just greed honestly. every year, every sports game can put a different person on the cover. that person can be remembered if theyre gone, or appreciated more if theyre still here. that influences people to buy special editions of games and blah blah blah. they know they can make more by putting out games every year, with very little change, because us idiots obviously spend the money every year. theyd still make a lot if they just updated one game for multiple years. but, then theres no new legends edition every year. fuck, the best edition this year is what, 150?! im no cheap ass, but thats kind of a lot. and im not going to buy it.. until one night im drunk and say fuck it hahahaha
@@gdirty7380 GTA is probably the perfect example of what I was trying to get across! Lol good call
Not really they make more money by making us by another game every year and with vc they making m’s every year
Great idea! I love your idea about an open world game, but having fast travel as an option. That actually sounds so fun
Fuck that lol he wants gta with nba games mixed in. We don't need any of that. We need a couple of seasons of story mode and cut the entire open world take it back to park and home court non of the stores and skateboarding or whatever. Get that away from me it's a chore when you just want to play basketball
One of the biggest problems, in my opinion, is the fact that they release a "new" version every year. I understand why they do it ($$$), but I think it would be a lot better if they released a game, and then continually updated it, maybe release some season passes etc. That way bugs would actually be patched, while now they don't care because they're already working on the next heap of trash.
I enjoyed live 19s story mode. The one story was pretty good imo they had real you tubers and even first take talk about your character and to top it off if you got drafted by the mavs you didn’t have Luka as a teammate which makes sense
I loved 19 i had so much fun on it
19s story mode was peak compared to this bullshit
i am saying
I miss nba live so bad
@@goated3285 bruh all of u guys dumb live is trash like be real it’s F’ing EA sports 🤦🏻♂️
I would really like a story focused on your player being a hyped up lottery pick and your team drafts a guy in the 2nd round who you also create but they develops to be your player’s pippen. The story would give you choices that would impact your relationship and make you manage the egos. If things go well you become a legendary duo or you fall apart.
Genius
I think it would be dope to see after your rookie year you see new hyped up prospects like how Derrick Rose and Anthony Davis came into the league. I think it would be fun to have twitter and get to diss other players or complain about a call. I also would like to see random events in a game like you arguing with the ref about a call or pushing an opposing player. Realistic Hard Fouls would be cool especially with how important they were in the playoffs. I think starting out in AAU tournaments could be a fun start.

So a better OJ storyline from 2k17
ehh you have to figure, they kind of did a watered down version of that with the whole orange juice thing. i dont think theyd revisit a duo storyline. i liked the whole oj thing, since it really let me pad my stats and get badges and shit lol but i also remember the story just disappearing, especially after my 3rd created guy. it was like it never existed after i didnt vouch for him, or whatever the story was. he got traded and story mode was over. no more cut scenes.
I’m subscribing simply because your voice reminds me of Ray Liotta’s narrating in the Goodfellas😂✅👍
Just earned a sub bro. Love from St. Louis 🤟🏾
you make a really good point at 3:03 idea. Companies dont seem to realize that the majority of “gamers” seriously dont care about politics. The people that they would be offending dont even buy the game to begin with
the people they would "offend" dont even exist. the modern political zeitgeist is almost entirely fabricated by every side of the political spectrum making generalizations of groups of people who dont even make up .01% of the population and are just terminally online. Lazy corporate neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism are both massively profitable and people from the center to the further ends fall for it by even legitimizing it with a sentence or response every day. Do you even know how much money conservative media makes off hating things that dont even exist predominantly irl like "sjws" and etc. like referenced in this video? Liberal media does the exact same thing but the opposite and all you people fall for it from both sides.
Have a female protagonist in a game isn't "politics" dumbass
Seriously most of us buy games to get away from real life nonsense not get more of it
I love the crying about "wokeness" such a made up crisis.
@@yourhomie7568 You realize the best game probably of the last decade in RDR2 was heavily political yeah?
One of the problems with this is that the game is already 100 gb. Adding the city, roads, cars etc would make the game unreasonably large
Yup it’s 161 GB for me to play my league. 2k should give you a option to download the city if u play it
Yeah and the latency has gotten so much worse since neighbourhood people are dumb they want everything but complain about lag lag lag
There is a lot of unnesscary bs in the game if they can rid of it they can easily reduce the amount of gb it takes to install the game
I would love if they put in a summer league for us also it would be cool if the guys we play against in college get drafted to
The only way to make companies like this change is to stop feeding them. You can make all the videos/tweets/posts/reviews etc. but at the end of the day if they are still making good $$ none of that matters.
I think they bailed on the original story. The college storyline was really good. It felt like it was a main storyline that they bailed on. It felt shoehorned in at the end of the main story.
I’m my opinion I think the two main things that fans can do are 1. Stop buying the Game and 2. Express your opinion on 2K through Social Media. The main problem is that people constantly buy the game, where it’s like how can you really complain about a product if you know you gonna buy it every year. While NBA 2K doesn’t necessarily have competition, if people decide to literally stop buying the game NBA 2K will have no choice but to listen to what people actually want.
@@secoTheSonicFan when the entire fanbase boycotts the game, it’ll make 2k look bad to new customers and it’ll cut down sales. 2k will have no choice but to please the crowd.
@@WeonRichi facts
2k needs Cyberpunk treatment
My thoughts Exactly
@@secoTheSonicFan they listen to the people why you think you can’t max out certain traits like that, because people kept making 7’ pg’s that could do everything instead of just being reasonable now 2k forced people to make a build that barely does anything and literally the stats won’t really equal out to a 99 if you were to create a player on the create a plyer feature. 2k listens, Mike Wang listens, Ronnie listens. 2k has changed cauee of the community not for the better but for the worse, gameplay wise it is good movement is great but overall immersion, it’s based off of online comp not casual you want to be the best style of game.
The character face at 0:03 to 0:09 had me rolling with laughter. Dude looks like a drug addict hallucinating.
Bro, all I want to do is just create my myPlayer and play basketball. I just want to play park and the NBA games. The city and now the neighborhood ruined 2k. The game isn’t fun anymore. I don’t mind grinding (and sometimes paying) for VC to improve my player. But I hate having to spend VC on frivolous stuff that makes no difference on the court. I have gotten every 2k since 2013, but, honestly, I think it’s time for me skip out on this one. It’s just so boring, tedious, and repetitive.
Great video, bro. Thanks for keeping it honest and to the point.
I'm behind this 100% and will shoutout the petition on my upcoming podcast
Proposal: if mycareer can’t be fixed in its current state, because its completely unrealistic and boring, let us have another mode where we can follow the paths to the pros for like a dozen handpicked NBA stars with interesting backstories.
Let us play the journey of Jimmy Butler, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Jayson Tatum, etc. and have them periodically chime in to talk about the various stages of their lives and careers that we as players are about to begin in the game. Frame it like a real sitdown interview where you’re living the events they are recalling in the interview. the challenges they faced, what have you. You’d follow their path specifically, like with Jimmy you go from high school to JuCo to Marquette to the NBA, with Luka you could dominate in youth ball before being signed to a big Euroleague team, etc. And like the MJ mode in 2K11 we have to complete certain challenges before we can move on. And then once we’ve officially made it to the pros we can play with those players as rookies in an offline mycareer mode.
This is more realistic because its literally these people’s lives we’re playing out, and I think it’s more emotionally provocative with guys like Butler with harder upbringings, and makes you appreciate basketball more
I really like the idea, the only problem is that their story has already happened. Like what happens if we average 40 and 10 in high school as Jimmy and we still don’t get recruited. You get what I mean? But I like the idea, maybe expand the jordan challenges to more than just MJ, let us play game 6 in 2012 as bron, let us play game 7 in 2010 as Kobe.
@@txrose9225 but that’s sort of what I’m saying is that it would help really understand the struggles and triumphs of these guys. For instance the frustration of balling out like Jimmy and then not getting any offers would be much more emotional in my opinion than any of the mycareers have been able to do, despite their attempts to make mycareer more story-driven. I don’t know I just think it would be more realistic and give a better appreciation for the game of basketball than what we’ve got now
@@txrose9225 or here’s an alternative of it specifically for 2K24: have “Jordan Moments” type things for a bunch of different current NBA players, like you mention. Once you beat all of those, then you unlock my idea of following Kobe’s come-up from stardom in high school, to rising star in the NBA, to his legendary moments. And also frame it like he’s telling the story of his own life like I mentioned in the original comment. And once you’re done, end with some heartfelt montage of a bunch of different moments in his career, good and bad, and then finally you shoot his final free throws against the Jazz with the crowd cheering. Make them both, cut to black and listen to the cheers
@@AdamKlownzinger that’s amazing
This video popped up and I just want to say, I agree with you. I’m tired of doing things that’s not basketball related and. This rival thing shep Owens or Jackson Ellis needs to stop. Also how does the 19th pick have beef with the 18th pick? Wtf.
In every cutscene I've seen I keep thinking about how B Fresh showing up to wreck everyone's plans would be more entertaining that what happens.
Let’s make this man a my career writer
I wish, I did a semester in college before dropping out though 💀
Stoked that you're shining a light on this. I played my first 2K MyCareer during 2K22 and was honestly blown away since my previous "Be A Pro" experiences were NHL & Madden which are at the absolute bottom of EA's priority list. Even though the story of 2K22 wasn't exactly believable, there were plenty of times that I appreciated different elements of the story. I was impressed by the voiceacting, I felt like I could actually shape a narrative around my player, and sometimes I felt immersed, even for a just a second. I was really excited for 2K23 after such a pleasant surprise.
But good god, everything in this story just feels so unfinished; the out-of-touch characters and their weird relationships to MP, the plot that was written by someone who has no idea how drafts work (as if an 18th/19th pick has ever been talked about for more than 2 minutes during the entirety of their rookie season), forcing off-court activities before being able to play an NBA game, and even tinkered gameplay mechanics like forcing team takeovers. It's almost like they took a giant step back in every direction. Crazy disappointing - but all we can hope for is another intern getting a fat promotion thanks to you next year.
As someone who only played 2k17 up until now where I bought 2k23, i cant speak on 2k22, but the amount of improvements in 2k23 outshine the flaws in the story.
You also contradicted yourself. You said the 2k22 story wasnt believable but then had a problem with the draft rivalry. Even if the draft placements dont make much sense with the story, is that really enough to say the story is trash?
100% feels bro and tbh I'd love to see it start off in the park with friends or so in a battle of some sort then they watch you in highschool then college and so fourth
What bothers me especially playing on current gen, is having the same cutscenes during timeout, halftime, walking into the training facility, When the coach does the whistle thing and you gotta skip the drill, etc i could go on forever it just makes it boring ive been seeing the same little details since 2016. all they do is change the graphics and badge system every year. It would be cool if 2k had two different sub companies dropping games every other year with a different feel to it like call of duty. It would be refreshing but until then we will keep gettin the same thing
Thank you for this serious video. I feel like we as a community have been let down year after year by 2k. I'm a PC player and, instead of allowing us to purchase the next Gen version, they're selling the old version year after year and expecting $60. I'm done purchasing these games until there is some real change.
There also needs to be something like diamond dynasty in my team. They don't give incentive to try new cards and experiment. In the show, there may be a 96 ovr card that carries your team even when the rest are 99s. My team is just a disgusting money grab at this point.
Bro. If 2k ever comes close to what you’re describing I wouldn’t leave my house 🤣 great vid
2:45 I just got this game and while I was exploring the city I decided to interact with the guy at the hot dog stand thinking I can get an endorsement deal or something and then I saw how they wanted me to go around the city to hand out posters and wouldn’t let me play a game until I completed that task.. Just ridiculous
1:15 ... you just earned the ultimate respect. Dono's should be on the way king
imo the prison story trailer that someone put out was way better than the current story, and I wish we got that story, and 2k added to it because we need stories that go on for multiple seasons and not just 26 games which it took me to finish this years story in. And after you finish the story the game is boring. ( I don’t play park much because I get terrible servers )
absolutely! the story literally just disappears. i was just saying how i noticed like with the orange juice one, when he gets traded if you go that route, the story is done. no more cut scenes. nothing. after a certain point, which comes pretty quick, youre just playing. theres no more story and nothing before matters at all lol
the prison story was cringe lol. too much PC going on also
@@blackpanther10105 ?
I actually enjoyed the story mode from 19 most. Slightly over dramatic but the grind of going from G Leaguer to pro felt realistic. They should give people the option of taking the high nba pick route or undrafted player. Or steal/enhance the storyline from Madden this year and make your player a 3rd year guy who struggled to prove himself due to lack of minutes and now everyone is calling him a bust. Start the story from there and let us play to earn a bigger contract and or test free agency. And then build in additional story scenes based on whether you stay with the team that drafted you or you leave for another team
Crazy how they put all that extra work in when NBA Live 19 was released that same year 💀
2K19 and 2K16 have the best storylines imo
Whatever happened to 989 Sports? Inside Drive etc. We used to have options. But anyways , although I think your ideas are very ambitious, since we're now talking next gen 2K should be able to implement a lot of the ideas you mentioned. I remember making a post about having an open world 2k game way back in 2013 or so. With that said I am 100% with you. Majority of the My careers have been hot garbage and very cringy. Not realistic at all and I hate that shit. Ever since they did the Spike Lee thing I saw where this was headed. You nailed it with the nickelodeon vibe (I always hated nickelodeon since a kid). I remember looking forward to playing my career. Now you have rap careers and fashion and all this crap. Something definitely needs to change.
We’ve all been pitching the NBA GTA 2K type game where you drive to the game and go to the park
I agree with your take on this, Mycareer/myplayer mode was the only reason I ever bought 2k since its introduction. Before this 2k23 the last one I bought was 2k17, even though the they ai cheated like crazy and it was the beginning of sponging players for merch that they would delete later. The story was the last one I felt like was any good, I like making choices and having my play recognized and considered in outcomes. Not the online park aspect of the game they seem so focused on.
4:31 This..... It that soo damn hard 2K dayum. Glad I stopped buying 2K 😅
I played 55 games, and myCareer story stopped after like 25-30 games. I played my rival once, dominated him and still nothing.
I won ROTY, defensive player of the year, and finals MVP. And still crickets.
I had to make a second player to get the career story to come back.
The thing about sports games not reaching their full potential is because they only have one year to make it and it's not enough time
You know it's serious when frosti doesn't have much hype energy during the voice over
2k needs a beat my spouse mini game so I can feel like a real nba player
I agree considering we are going down the road of walking and talking simulators might as well be able to smack a hoe
So not only did you point out 2k you brought the light about another game/community that people still love to this day which is live from the bottom of my heart I love you for that
*NO HOMO*
“If they pull this crap off with gta 6 I think I’ll start playing my own version of the game in real life” 😂😂😂💀
bro thank you for this video! honestly some of your ideas here are amazing! this year's story let me down in such a big way, yes the one from 2K22 wasnt fantastic either but just the fact that i could do SOMETHING to make my way into the NBA and affect my stock was kind of a must
Love your points. I also have a recommendation for mycareer. Why not play a role of a former star trying to have a comeback after an injury like drose instead of being a rookie all over again?
Lmao imagine if GTA and 2K were seamlessly combined, “MP can’t be at the game tonight as he has committed 14 homicides and is currently hijacking a plane.”
And stole El Rubios tequila.
My god this video explains how I feel about it like what the hell man I got benched after averaging 40 a game and they want me to still play for this franchise!? I can’t even get traded without abiding by there lame rules like what tf ! I really sold the entire game and they told me to try again like wtf
Me personally who doesn't necessarily enjoy 2ks nowadays, would play the game you talked about in a heartbeat! Sadly I doubt it will ever happen, much like Madden they have it on cruise control
His city idea is great but would take 2k 3-5 years to create
not really, if they start now they could definitely make it in a few months at most, if they’re team all works together.
@@chiefs2219 you have no idea how much work this stuff actually takes
@@chiefs2219 that's not how game design works bro
Yea and although it may be a good idea if 2k decides to do that it would be very hyped and the even the smallest mistake could make people dissatisfied
@@yourhomie7568 lol
Didn’t know this guy made serious videos lol nice one
Much appreciate brother saved me some time on 23, damn what a fall from grace 2k has seen smh
Not sure adding a small city would be a good idea considering this game is like already 140+ gb in size. Though yes mycareer story shit, i feel like the real problem of this year is the inflation on upgrading our player. Getting to an 85 is even more expensive than ever before and this game is already expensive enough, but you have to put another $100 just to be able keep up with online players, there’s grinding your overall but they like cut the amount of VC you can earn by doing quest and playing games.
I think it would work because me personally, I never keep two years of 2k at once. I play one year, when the new one comes out, I delete the old game and never touch the old one again.
I feel like most gamers only play a couple different games all year round and external hard drives aren’t that expensive.
They could make it an optional download like how in COD you don’t have to download all the map packs
No one seems to like DLCs but I’d pay or download extra for a better game of 2k
Ngl I liked just for your Aoko pfp
So hyped for Witch on the Holy Night
Remember when ign gave 2k18 a 8.4. Yes a 8.4 when 2k23 got a 6, 2k18 is highly noted as one of the worst 2ks of all time. With its horrible frustrating, and gitchy gameplay With horrible microtransactions like having to pay vc for haircuts, or the unskippable cringe cutscenes that force advertisement, Myteam was worst and thats saying alot because I still choose not to play myteam because its still has pretty bad microtransactions. Its safe to say microtransactions wore way worst in 2k18. Gameplay was less skillgaped and incredibly glitchy Also the neighborhood was boring and frustrating. That saying 2k23 decent but its not the best. Microtransactions are really bad worse since 18, also I hate the grind,money, and hours spent to upgrade your player attributes also. Mycareer is getting worse by the years so glad we can skip cutscenes now. With mycareers cringe writing that makes no sense to the story, Stupid cringe city sidequest that is not basketball related. Like going around the city to perform tik tok dances just so you can pass the quest and play some basketball. I miss 2k19, 2k16,2k17 Mycareers they wore more basketball focused and had a more eyecatching no cringe storylines. That saying 2k23 has some of the best gameplay in years its more realistic, motion and feel has improved, it has skillbased shooting and gameplay, and theres more animations then last year to add authenticity in the game, still would love to see more polish and detailed gameplay in future games. The city/park affiliations and environment are really amazing. You can go around the city way faster. Jorden challenges are back Mynba eras brings depth and more fun to offline players Even though I still feel like they can improve Mynba eras. Myteam is better with no contracts, more rewards, and offline modes. But I still say stay away from that money hungry mode Seasons and legend grind is great. In my opinion so far as of now 2k did decent this year. That said I cant call this good 2k though because its missing minor online/offline and aesthetically pleasing details form older games. Such as the old intros they stop doing intros since 2k17 I miss the feel of loading up the game and seeing the cool and unique intros. I miss how they use to update blacktop environment every year, and I wish players would still were their jersyes in blacktop. And myplayers still be able to were street clothes in blacktop and in rec. I miss how they use to have the three point contest and the dunk contest in blacktop, also celeberties too. If the bring this feature back it would be cool if they added knockout to black top also. I wish they would improve the all star game modes and have trophy presentations and better crowd reactions and dunk contests. I miss the cheap basic yet aesthetically pleasing clothes from 2k17/2k16. I like namebrand clothing like in newer games. But i miss the basic clothes that the took out when 2k18 came out. I miss the 2k16 main menu with the players on the screen. It made the presentation so appealing I think 2k23 is decent. I just miss the feel of older games. In 2 or three years I would like to go back to 2k23 and have that same feeling still have even with the servers off with 2k16 and17 Also I wish microtransaction woud be gone too, microtransaction been worse since 18. Overall I kinda like 2k23 but don't at the same time.. Tell me if I miss some older game modes and features from older games I would love to know.
Also I miss celeberties at play now games. It would be cool to see jidion sitting courstide at a nba game. When you load up play now. Also 2ks gameplay is the best in years I just think in the future games they should still add even more newer animations than this year to make that game feel more fresh every year. Like when 2k introduced the living world system for 2k16 it brought animations and movement that was newer than in pass 2k games like 15 or 14. If you look up the living world trailer 2k16. You will know what im talking about. I want 2k to feel like how 2k15 to 2k16 felt gameplay feel wise. 2k23 is more skillgaped though and is still a improvement from 2k22. One thing I hate still is how the fastbreak offense is still kinda slow. I wish they would bring back the one animation from 2k16 were the player pushed the ball upcourt while dribbling to make the fastbreak fatser. If you go back 2k16 and try out 2ku freestlye or 2kplay now you will see that players had a animation that triggers when you sprinted and ran the ball up court. I also wish they would add crossplay next year with xbox and ps4.
Also graphics are the best in years. I just feel like 2k14 and 16 graphics still hold up to this day. If you get 2k14 lighting and put in on the amazing graphics of 2k23. I feel like that would approve 2k23 graphics overall. Also they need to make the color more brighter and less faded in future games.
Bill Russell🍀🍀 as the cover athlete. And kobe bryant 💜💛 challenges for the next game. We can honor both legends at the same time.
I missed being able to play in the G league and build your myplayer until you get a NBA contract. I remember getting a 10 day contract once lol. I just forget which year it was, I think it was 2k12
Bruh I just randomly found this and ended up watching damn near all his videos😭😭
My NBA 2k24 wishlist
Gameplay/GameModes
1.Better mycareer story like nba 2k16,17,or19. They wore more basketball related and had better eye-popping no cringe storylines, you could still skip the storyline as a whole if you want too. Nba live 19s storyline was awesome too.
2. Cheaper vc or no more vc they should add skill points back.
3. My court back to next gen
4.bring back older animations and size ups from 2k16. Im not just talking about dribbling . I'm talking about certain off-ball animations fast break animations, passing lane and overall gameplay animations that made 2k16 feel more authentic and better. Also still add newer animations too. To make the gameplay fresh and more authentic to real life everyear. Like the living world gameplay system from 2k16. Nba2k23 gameplay is still the best in recent years though.
5.keep updating and improving my nba eras. Add Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller And 60s/70s era. And add more classic play now teams.
6. Updated game winner celebrations.
7. For newer players to 2k bring back the tutorials in 2ku from 2k12, where they had mentors on the sideline like micheal jordan or Carmelo Anthony, or LeBron james teaching you how to play.Its a small detail but I like and miss those attention to details.
8. No more microtransactions
2k16 dribbling was unrealistic
Great video bro we appreciate it cuz we're all tired of the bullshit
I’ve played 2K off and on for years and when they refused to add goggles to create a player I gave up. Why does Kareem, Horace Grant and James Worthy be the only ones allowed to wear them?
A new feature id love to see is my career online games where when you are playing in nba games you face off against your friends Mp whether they are online or it’s AI. Facing your friends my player on their fav team w you and yours would be cool as hell.
If someone made an RPG basketball game, I'd lose my mind. Like the whole game is a cross between GTA and MyPlayer mode, that would be fucking incredible.
I think the most important thing is gameplay. I also think It's important when they make an effort to improve the game in different ways. I love the eras idea, I didn't even expect it. Sure My Career is not that improved but it gets attention almost every year. I don't think it's even necessary to add anything. Story is something that varies from game to game anyways.
He said in the video the gameplay has improved but still base the overall game being thrash on the poor My Career mode 🤔
Been playing since 2k11, so thankful I mustered up the discipline to pass on it this year
“Left-right cross online” was a good description of me throughout high school. And it felt good. Now I’m a senior in College and it’s not enough for me. The old squad doesn’t really play anymore. I want good basketball, but I can’t get that because of all the no-life’s complaining about every gameplay feature. I want realistic stories. It’s really sad. I don’t have time to play 5 seasons just to be a 86 overall w/o VC. Plus they ruined park which was the only mode I played with friends. Just sad.
New Subscriber 😁😁
2k's gameplay has improved massively over time. It feels more like real basketball now more than ever, and I'll give credit where credit is due. But basketball has always been more than the game itself. It's about the culture, the community, the service the game gives.
It's not easy to capture that in a video game, but Frosti has some good ideas. That being said, 2k has a year. Maybe driveable cars aren't a priority. But how about a community service story option, where you can choose to run basketball camps for the kids in the city?
That's what the game is about.
then maybe don't make one every year since it's the same game with slightly better graphics. Work on innovation while releasing roster updates where needed. If they really cared that would be the move. But here we are with yearly releases and constant disappointment
😂 the gameplay is ass, slow and boring. My player moves like he's under water and after you reach 85 you can't unlock any more attributes unless your player is 6'9
@@Aa-cv5tj ya i kinda agree. the game feels like a mess... rec is unplayable.. everyone is so crowded.. and im not sure whree evryone is getting this idea that 2k23 gameplay is so good its pretty like 2k22
gameplay improved massively? what games are you guys in? games im in are sloppy.. mostly just forcing a pass to a center and hoping he puts it in. and why does the stepback look so ugly stupid hop back it looks trash
@@chadwellington2524 this game looks worse every year
Totally agree man. I would kill for a good mycareer mode. I used to love 2K and was never a big online gamer. But I feels so robbed whenever I do decide to buy a 2K game.
Me being high 90% of the time i play this game, the horrible jokes and scripts be having me deadddd🤣
What's crazy is I feel like these developers got game improvements completely reversed. Better graphics are cool but the games that stand the test of time are always the ones with the deepest, most compelling stories & with the most immersive experiences. Any gamer that plans on playing for more than a couple months will take deep game features over better graphics anyday.
But they come up with a new 2k every year so they can't come up with a deep compelling story every year that'd be asking too much
@@ethanseevers5561 they never do though..
I liked the game so far, putting everything that frosti sad in 1 year is impossible, it will take time. The storyline is kinda of cool, a lot of cringe scenes, but the whole vibe, I mean the arena, city doing some task outside of basketball give me good immersion, and as someone who dreamed to one day be a NBA player it kind of gives me a little taste. I know it sound stupid lol. There is a few things I think they could have done, like making possible to skip the story if you want, putting HS, College and combine before the NBA, and making VC more acessible through grinding. But so far the gameplay seems better, more balanced online games, at least until now, and the MyLeague is kinda of dope with the eras, different graphics and gameplays.I think the community sucks, tbh, and no matter the storyline everyone would have hated it, I don’t think it’s horrible as some people say, for me the biggest issue is that the game seem to get some progress every 3 to 4 years. Problaby if NBA Live comes back it wouldn’t sell nearly as much as 2K but at least would add some competition. Side note: the fact that kids play this game and they want to keep it family friendly makes it impossible for people to curse in the story, that’s why when Shep is talking trash and there are rap battles everything gets cringe af.
I agree with you on some things. Mycareer needs to start from scratch. I would like the choice to pick which voice for my player.
But 2k won't change because they know people will buy vc to get crocs. If a indie company came in and just made a simple nba basketball game and got the licenses to make it feel realistic. Then 2k would change.
This is exactly why I stopped playing the annual releases for all the sports games back in 07-08 makes me miss the fight night games at least each game they put out had something fresh and new lol champion being my favorite...
I miss mygm where you customized everything about your team and even the storyline it had. myleague isn’t the same
Exactly how I feel about the game. We need the devs to see this. Not everyone just wants to play park!
Lol then go to rec tf 🤣😂
"Living the life of a Nickelodeon character."
You just described it perfectly. Lol.
I agree, I have watched the majority of the cut scenes. This is so slanted to the left that I’m not even interested in playing it.
Also I know I said this a 1,000 times but I still want this to happen. How about Bill Russell🍀🍀 as the cover athlete. And kobe bryant 💜💛 challenges for the next game. We can honor both legends at the same time. Just an idea.🤔 spread the word.
Was waiting 🔥🔥
We need to get these video's trending, the fact that there isn't a competitive basketball game to compete with 2k has allowed take2 to get away with these ludicrous vc prices and pay to win video game with a AAA game price.
This year is dope. You crazy
I didn’t buy 2k23 this year but I’m still totally up for being apart of the movement to kick out 2k or move them in the right direction
2k23 is an good game
@@peacechild482 then thats clearly your first 2k
@@hadimansour1 no my first 2k is 2k10
@@hadimansour1 you’re this trash at the game
@@peacechild482 23 is not all that. It’s basically 22 but better and worse in some things. Like finishing is better but stupid. Shooting is harder but more skilled. But most things are still terrible. Paint d sucks ass. Steals are overpowered. And it’s not just from dribbling and getting ripped. Passing logic is terrible. Makes players throw the ball at the defender when you have a teammate open. This game is overhyped. Games hasn’t been good in years. Game went to real shit after 17. 19 was solid but every other 2k is a no.
The problem is with exclusive licensing. Even if another developer wanted to make a basketball game no one would buy it because it wouldn’t have real players/ team. This is the exact same problem Fifa has had, they know that people will buy the game purely because of the licensing so they have no incentive to make an actual good game
That’s exactly why I stopped buying all sports games in general .. when only one company gets the licensing, they eventually ruin the entire series. It has happened to EA and 2k. Both fan bases are literally saying the same thing
Big Ups !!!! I have bought the game every years special edition and to be honest I haven’t gotten 2k23
Is it really that bad ? Should I stay with 2k22? How different is the game. Every word you said on this video is exactly what I feel that’s why I haven’t purchased it yet. I feel disrespected …… the whole park thing is cool but still it’s fun to kickback and play offline mode a bit …. And recent years they’ve given us BS !! Should I purchase 2k23 MJ edition or stick with 2k22
Live 19 was definitely underrated. Crossover animations were 🔥
NBA Live 09 with dynamic DNA and shit was crazy. Guys literally played differently game to game based on their makeup. It dictated where people went on the court what they did and how they did it. Shit like that was great.
That shockingly was the last ball game I enjoyed. Live 09 Tony Parker on cover I mained The Spurs.
I knew things were bad, but not this bad.
A wide open 3 is a “bad shot selection” yet a heavily contested layup is a “good shot selection”
sometimes I don’t understand what Ronnie2K might be smoking
“I understand that there is a good portion of you that only want this game so can left-right cross online instead of doing your geometry homework” 😂
