2k can do anything they want. Itโs us the community that will get mad at whatever choice they make.
Buff contests? = less guards and less fun
Buff blitz steals? = less guards and less fun
Keep defense the same? = op offense and miserable defense.
Literally whatever 2k does people will complain. It has always been this way and always will.
This is currently happening on marvel rivals with Poke/Melee .
