These forums have been dead since implementing the new format.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I couldn't have said it better. The new format is unnecessarily complicated and slow and full of clutter. It can be much more streamlined and efficient. It's inferior and a step back from the last format and it has affected my usage as well.Last edited by tsbmolina; 08-29-2025, 11:33 PM. -
edit: forgot to mention all the ads make it almost impossible to click on anything. I've had to go away from writing this to close an ad at least 5 times. And the light grey letters make it very difficult to read on the dark grey background. THIS IS AWFUL.Last edited by joel0078; 08-30-2025, 12:02 AM.👍 5Comment

I am on Chrome and Page 2 of a topic never loads. It is "working..." as I type this.
The board was already dying/dead and the format change killed it. Casuals and gamers in their 20s don't come here. The changes were ultimately too little too late in my estimation, and the ads are almost assuredly to make up for the loss in revenue.
Places like Reddit the users are significantly less knowledgeable, but there's a lot more engagement. 2K doesn't do a good job moderating it's sub so most of it is unoriginal memes, rate my garbage build, this community sucks, everyone sucks and i'm the best, and more of the usual whining. Definitely need to use "Search" to find what you're looking for... but with the added bonus that Reddit expands to way more topics and communities than OS ever will.NBA 2K25 Roster: Real 2K Rosters - Modern Era

I'll also say, as I read the other replies here, I can acknowledge that the state of 2K has changed over the years but I don't think that's the full reason these forums have been dead. I still seemed to be able to pop in and hop into conversations and engage to a pretty significant degree up until very recently (i.e. the forum swap).
Just looking back at the 2K23 Impressions thread alone (the most recent Wayback Machine time I could pull up), there were over 1,300 posts in the NBA 2K23 Impressions thread (https://web.archive.org/web/20230826...2k-basketball/).
As a more recent comparison, the NBA 2K25 "Gameplay Improvements" preview thread in the run-up to 2K25's release had 230 comments. This year's "gameplay improvement" thread is stuck at less than 70.
Format and layout changes are always tough for the public to handle (I remember the "I'm quitting Facebook!" posts back in the day whenever they'd tweak their layout) but usually after a few days, if the layout still made sense, people would acclimate and carry on business as usual. The issue is that things here are now so different and in some cases a downgrade over what they were before that we're months in and I'm still struggling get my brain to adapt to a layout that feels more cumbersome and disorienting.👍 3Comment

Hey Dusen,
Sorry to bug you on a Saturday. I’m trying to use the way back machine haha, and I’m horrible at it. Any way you’re able to link me to the Operation Sports thread from the 21-22 season that was “The Photographic Side of NBA 2K22.”
I like to look through the old ones. And that’s the only one I’ve never been able to find haha
Ps, I tried messaging you on here, but it says your private messages are completely full haha.Last edited by jakeywakey911; 08-30-2025, 03:46 PM.👍 1
