To respond to the simnation ethical failed hoop dream hoopers in my comments passive aggressively hating and confused...
We been here. To simply put it the most the community can respect and recognize what is actually skillful. And my style(although being far from the meta) has been tested and proven throughout the years to actually win games at a good enough level while keeping its individuality and is hard to emulate which is considered admirable thus appreciated.
Meanwhile yall style while aesthetically pleasing to those who care about realism on a video game only comes off as a non-skillfull gimmick considering the ones representing you have 40 win %'s. Combine that with the fact that the game specifically has taken a route over the years of nerfing EVERYTHING that did previously take skill in 2k to cater to players with your "realistic" playstyle to be able to compete(and still fail to do so) just to blame your lack of winning on everyone else "cheesing" is just inexcusable.
My sincere advice would be to look beyond the fulfillment you're selfishly enjoying of cosplaying as your favorite NBA players while your teammates sit corner and watch you jabstep the whole shotclock and ask yourself...
"is everyone else ass for wanting to actually win? Or is it me..?"
It's you. Yall ass. The shit yall do is almost always boxed and can't win games consistently and has never proven otherwise throughout the years. That shit only looks cool to yall but we don't care for it. Stop hating on what takes actual skill in a video game because you wanna "look the part". Losing 50% of your games aint ethical. Ethically develope your stick skill and learn to atleast quickstop or something.. the community is sick of being nerfed every year for the sake of jab steps and contested middies. Go outside
