As we progress and look forward to @NBA2K addressing the community’s #SaveTheGame movement. There’s something special about our community and certain developers picking up these older 2K games we love and giving them the care and support they deserve.
On this topic, we’ve spoken long ago on the design of older 2K’s being built on Realistic aspects of basketball to guarantee the player’s gameplay isn’t completely unrealistic but with an arcade-esque, non-archetype-specific gameplay experience that we’ve all unknowingly loved and was slowly watered down as we progressed from 2K15 -> 2K27. We’d love for this to be a 2K standard again. It’s near impossible to enforce uber realism & RNG whilst feeling rewarding in gameplay with a controller in a player’s hand. As players, we can mesh together different ideas of gameplay variations with different animations and mechanics in the game.
For some, they couldn’t put this idea of 2K they wanted into words and resulted to plainly saying they preferred an older 2K. We want you guys to comment your favorite 2K and let us know why you think it was so fun to play and your favorite aspect about it. We’ll be giving away $1,000 to commenters to endorse the fact that your feedback means everything. Leave your Cashapp Tag alongside your comment, speak your mind, and add #SaveTheGame.
The ENTIRE BOSS FIGHT can be BEAT without even engaging in combat until the end. YIKES! You can literally just walk around. 7 YEARS of development for THIS? Do NOT Buy Gears of War E-Day.
Gears of War E-Day is a JOKE! 7 YEARS of development and the benches are indestructible. YIKES! Gears 2, an Xbox 360 game, is LIGHTYEARS ahead. UNREAL!
Interesting how it took 2K about 3 days to take action against Revival (2K17 Servers), but people have been cheating for 7+ years, and many more long lasting issues. Just goes to show how quickly they can accomplish something when they actually care. Just a thought
Annoying states now that he has the open source he intends to mod all old 2k’s and make custom parks, custom builds, custom rep rewards.
“Basically we can do whatever we want”
Honestly while we still have the audience, we'd love to delegate our development power to help 2K revive it's old titles and their series entirely alongside the community. We're also incredibly versed in 2K's legacy and semi-modern game protocol. The community doesn't want 2K itself to expire but to genuinely reshape it's formfactor because it isn't working for us in it's current state. While it has turned into a trend to downplay 2K's efforts, its undeniable, thousands of users don't complain for 0 reason.
With 2K's recent actions against our socials & platform and that we can foresee the same actions be taken against the other community projects that are active, to be safe, it's best if we temporarily pause all active online Revival Services & Downloads while we attempt to navigate this journey safely. If we can safely conclude we can operate this safely, access can be re-opened at the click of a button.
