Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Gameplay Blog (Part 3 of 3) - MyPLAYER, Builds, Badges, Takeove
You're right, but the fact that MyLeague was not even mentioned in the 3 blogs tells you how much 2k considers it a selling point for the next gen...Comment

This is why I stopped playing video games online. I'm in my mid 30s, how am I suppose to compete with kids and teenagers that are able to put in way more time than me. Nah, Im good, Ill stick to playing games offline at my own pace.Last edited by Americas Team; 10-21-2020, 06:42 PM.Xbox Series X: KILLMUNGERComment

Instead we get blogs about badges and builds for online. In fact I don't even know any youtuber that talks about myleague. If you search YouTube now this is the hot topic and thats what 2k wants. Us offline guys are now dinosaurs. Its unfortunate but the CoD money tactic creeped up on some of my favorite games.

The fact they felt the LeBron and AD pick & roll was good enough to show off the way that defense played in a blog about improved AI tells me this next-gen version will be a huge disappointment. Especially once you get pass the graphics.Comment

The first three blogs are about gameplay, they haven't mentioned any game modes yet.Xbox Series X: KILLMUNGERComment

I was hoping for next gen they finally would get rid of the badges, but no...it's such a gimmick for the most part. Guess we have to wait until 2k22 to see if they really are ready to make revolutionary changes. Right now, sounds like much of the same and with the greedy tactics of paying twice for pretty much the same game, using Kobe's image to make people collect these physical versions, the unskippable ads, I'm almost done with 2k as a whole. Live or someone needs to come back to challenge them or just get a new NBA Street/ Jam type game. Until then, I'll stick with Playgrounds.Comment

BRO ...I just watched the video 2k posted on twitter in regards to this blog. AD sets pick for Lebron. Bron uses pick drives right! Crowder who was covering AD (who looks to be sagged off) runs PAST Lebron to go cover AD giving Bron wide open shot.,
If the AI is so improved would'nt Crowder pick up bron after seeing his teammate get picked??
There are 2-3 “new” badges that are simply renamed from the current gen version. We lost a few badges due to a popularity contest that were important badges for offline NBA AI gameplay (Moving Truck, Fancy Footwork, Hot Start).
They added 4 Takeover boosting badges (Heat Seeker, Highlight Film, Hot Shot, Hot Stopper) which are the absolute worst thing to ever exist in this series (how close to NBA Jam are we now?). They even doubled down on admitting that Takeover is a priority system and has been expanded upon with locked animations. Now we need to create scenarios for players to be “on fire” to get animations to trigger?
The other blogs had some pros & cons. This one was disheartening to read all around aside from minor AI fixes that read more like a bug report than new features. I’m sure it was a tough year to release two games so I’ll hold out for 2K22 and hope that gives them time to build for next-gen.
It’s an easy business decision to focus changes on MyCareer/MyPlayer so it’s not a surprise what aspects of the game get added focus each year.Comment

It makes you think how is only having Post Control impact how you set rating caps for bigs. What if you set Post Control to 95, does that significantly raise your potential overall and limit what else you can do. If you don't touch Post Control at all, does that impact your OVR?. I still feel MyPlayer is geared towards Perimeter and Wing Players. Where Big men have a higher floor and but a lower ceiling. Whereas Perimeter and Wing players have a low floor and higher ceiling. I feel if you are going to be a PF/C you are going to have to stick a specialized role or limit your potential. I feel it is easier to be an all around player with a PG-SF. I say that because for PF and Centers some ratings have a higher impact for your player as opposed to a PG-SF.Comment

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.
Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.Comment
