This the same community that used to pause the game everytime they score and show you replays of their dunks. This should be expected.Comment

Re: Running Up The Score: Why does the 2k community insist on it?
It depends for me.
If i played a cheeser i'll run up the score and annoy him as much as i possibly can (if i have time for that). I'm sorry but if someone just annoyed me and ruined my limited 2k time for the past half hour i think i have earned the right to return the favor at the end.
If i played someone like myself i'll just park at half court like a normal human being.
That said, i barely play online anymore. Not really a fan of any team in particular to use in PNO, and myteam is the worst it's ever been imo. The mypark spazzfest makes me physically ill and while pro am has it's moments it's still generally a boring and/or frustrating experience. I'm actually enjoying offline after the latest patch, still a bunch of brain neutral cpu plays but all in all acceptable.Comment

"GET OFF MY LAWN YOU DAMN KIDS! In my day people played online games with RESPECT!"
What are you taking about, man? I've been playing online since nfl2k2 and it has always, ALWAYS been the same. Stop complaining about what other CHILDREN do. Why make yourself angry?Comment

Sure. Understandable. I totally get keeping the pedal to the floor up 15 in the mid third and early fourth. I'm totally cool with that. That's a very different situation.
I don't like to perpetuate the practice of running up the score personally. If I'm up big late, I'm going to slow it down. Bring in the bench. And you can bet that if the shot clock is off in such a situation, I'm dribbling it out. Personally, I think that other person is a person, who played and played to win. The least I can do is show a little respect. Maybe it will catch on.
What I've found odd is that some people have been insulted when I put my bench in. I guess they think I'm saying "I'm so much better than you that I can beat you with my bench" but I'm just showing some sportsmanship.Comment

I'm not trying to be a grumpy old person, (I'm only 24, after all. [emoji38] ) I'm simply trying to point out that this is an issue that goes much deeper than gaming and when we excuse it and say, "Well, that's the way it's been forever," we miss the point of the issue.
I suppose it makes me angry because it highlights a major problem in how others look at their fellow man.

I think this is the main reason. There is a kinda mental disconnect for some people when they get online to where they don't feel like they are playing an actual person in some aspects.
