    Re: The uproar on Twitter about 2K20

    Unfortunately the sim community for most of the sports titles has little or no online presence and, when it comes to updates, it shows.

      Re: The uproar on Twitter about 2K20

      Don't want to overreact BUT assuming the gameplay was changed...what's the point of trying to make 2K the best representation of the sport and having the devs work tirelessly in their ultra short development cycle if they're gonna buckle after 3 DAYS? To me that's completely insane. The schizopherenic nature of the game and its fan base really makes me want to quit playing this series altogether (and oh yeah, I've order the game yesterday after loving the demo/watching some videos and reading all the comments here).

        I don't want to discount anyone's experience, but there is often a heated reaction to any changes like this buff to speed and stamina. It might be best to get a wide range of opinions and check it out yourself.

          Have most or any of the people complaining actually played the game since the update, or just going on what someone else said, because it you are you are no better than the people on twitter overrating based on someone else's opinion.

              Why are you all surprised and upset about this? It has happened year after year after year and you expect 2K to change and not cave in to the twitter causal gamers? That’s the definition of insanity, really. And you guys continue to support 2K by buying their product every year. It’s not going to change, the mentality of 2K was changed ever since they introduced myPark. 2K already has your money and they’re milking every possible cent from their consumers by pleasing the majority which are the Twitter casuals.

                I was playing it right now, as in, right this moment, as I was typing my previous post. The speed has definitely been changed. It's legit.

                  This is what happens when you let youtubers with child followers pressure you into changing a game your company worked a year on, just so the youtubers can cheese and maintain their views/source of income.

                  Is 2k so unconfident in their work that they cave in immediately? Imagine working on something for a year and allowing youtubers to pressure you to change the game drastically on something they played for three days, after you made them accustomed to nonsense for plenty of years before this.

                  And im not even going to get into the executives who are probably putting pressure on because of the twitter hashtag.

                  Simply Amazing 2k.
                  Great points.

                  For the top guys, YT or Twitch or whatever is literally their job.Of course they are going to want whatever game gets them viewed to basically be custom tailored for them to able to do whatever it is they do that keeps the views/money rolling in so they can make a healthy living playing video games instead of having to go out into the real world and take on a regular job.

                  Even for smaller guys, quite often their goal is to get to that level where they can quit their regular job and make good money playing video games on Twitch or whatever, so they want the game to be custom tailored for them to be able to get the views to get to that level.

                  Also, from what I have seen in bigger Twitch/Youtube chats, quite often a good chunk of the followers are easily manipulated folks who will willingly accept whatever some "internet celebrity" tells them as gospel and repeat it to anyone that will listen simply in hopes that said celebrity will notice them, be impressed, and want to be friends with them.....probably in some vain hope that said celebrity would swing enough views to their own tiny channel to get them to that level too.

                    Your view point is that of someone who does not run his own company, first and foremost 2k is a business and to think otherwise is silly, they are trying to find a balance but just can't ignored one aspect of the community especially when they account for the large portion of their revenue.

                      I got to play one more online game before I left against the Bucks. Bled is def a blur.

                      The speed may have increased but I dont see it as a situation where the structure of the game is out of wack. I can still move fast enough laterally to counteract it.

                      As far as the centers thing, I dont know if that applies to NBA teams/players. I think that may have something fo do with the variables of MyCareer.

                      Again, I haven't touched offline.

                        Your post doesn’t make sense, all I’m stating is that you guys who already have purchased 2K expect 2K not to change their game year in and year out, and hoping they don’t cave into Twitter so that the game isn’t ruined. 2K will always cave into the money making twitter crowd, so unless you unplug your internet from your console, the gameplay you’ve been enjoying for a week after release will always turn into something else and more often a turn for the worst simulation wise.

                            I had a mismatch last night, World B Free on a center. Saw it, backed way out to isolate, then blew right by him. It felt great, especially after last year. Unbelievable that I can't do that anymore. I loved the gameplay and we only got it for 3 days man

                              My post makes perfect sense, if the situation was the opposite and there was a part of the game you did not like would you be okay if they said we don't plan on fixing or looking into it, no 2 people play the game the same, even though I don't agree with them changing the game to fit one demographic who have no interest in playing actually basketball I also don't see how they can ignore their concerns.

                                The Youtube/Twitter/kids community is unbearable. They need to split NBA2k and MyPark and make 2 different games.
