@TheBFLSpeaks I don’t think shooting needs major changes but there are some elements that don’t make sense. Not sure about game modes but after testing, it’s been found 2K punishes you and shrinks your green window while on a hot streak. That’s a specific design I can’t agree with
Pro play and realism is not what’s ruining 2K online. It’s horrible game design like punishing shooting on a hot streak, OP steals, ghost contests, overmonetization, bad rep rewards, etc. Both arcade and sim enjoyers can agree all of that is trash #savethegame
@Rowdyrowdy100@SwagGodly_YT I play offline because I believe 2K online is just miserable and a horrible experience. But I stay tapped in with the online community and while I don’t agree realism and pro play ruined the game, I can def agree with shit like this. None of this is realism. It’s bad game design
@BADGEPLUG Hot take, that’s not bad. The problem is the patch contents were awful and made the game worse, not that we need more patches in a span of a little over a month
@Rowdyrowdy100@SwagGodly_YT You ain’t tell a single lie here. I side with wanting realism in 2K but realism should coexist with these things. No reason why they can’t. Realism doesn’t mean bad game design and the things you mentioned are products of bad design
@STEEZO_THE_GOD I don’t hate the shooting in this game but I won’t lie this is bullshit. You should not get a penalty for a hot streak. If anything you should get a buff lol. If there was no effect that’d be fine with me but a penalty!? These are the design choices I can’t agree with
@2K_My_Career_27 Balance changes that affect everyone, regardless of mode or play style. So I’m thinking ghost contests and steals need to be changed. Everyone will appreciate that
Everyone arguing about whether the game should be sim or arcade including myself but I thought more about it and I have a question. Why can’t we have both? Whether park/MyPlayer is balanced completely separately or 2K makes a separate game. Why can we not cater to both audiences?
@DGxPRED@pluqski@Chef_Cruz2K@STEEZO_THE_GOD I said it as in idk who he has won against. I was genuinely asking. And I agree, Steezo will always be good. I like the realistic/sim gameplay but I was a Steezo and Eyeso fan first tbh. I think Cruz is also very good. Regardless of who would win, I don’t think it proves anything
@GaTechAlum_IE92@JosiahTimp This is true. I think MyPlayer needs completely separate tuning from the rest of the game. It may even be time to make it a separate game entirely.
This the game they going back to? Yall want whites and contested whites to go in? Basic ass generic dribbling? Momentum bhb spam? By all means yall can have it. I ain’t mad. It’s just funny because 2 or 3 months later yall will complain
@fuhdawrld I agree the defense is broken. That’s not pro plays fault. They balanced the game poorly and dropped a patch that made it worse. All these people blaming realism or pro play or wanna go back 10 years can’t adapt, and they complained back then too
They want momentum spam, basic 1 spin, OP post spin, D Book breakdown, left/right speed boost or whatever other cheese bullshit was in every older 2K. With no unique stepback or dribble style or post fade anis. Just 5-10 anis that run the whole game
Yet again I ask the question. What is it exactly that y’all want from #SaveTheGame I’m generally asking because no one can give me a straight forward answer
We never wanted an arcade game. That was totally off the table.
The game we did before 2K with visual concepts was NBA action 98 for the Sega Saturn
The question was how realistic to do it versus making it accessible and fun
We were not doing the NbA Jam nor NBA Street. Those games were too unrealistic.
But the other games out back then were too boring because they were imitating basketball too much
We went for a balance of “easy to play, but hard to master”.
And that’s very hard to do. But we had a framework for it.
@pluqski@Chef_Cruz2K@STEEZO_THE_GOD Who has Steezo won against? Idk. And will they even guard each other? Kevin is out here slaughtering the player base every game man. He just does it differently. They’re both great players but them playing each other doesn’t prove anything. Still be a fun watch tho
