Toxic
Adjective used to describe usually very negative person, that bitch about everything, spread unnecessary hate or just talk **** about others. You can meet these people in any online game community and they are the main coin of online gaming.

That's great you can look up word definitions and try to imply others are toxic. But how 'bout address what I said instead.

You're right that Mike is a big boy. You should learn something from him.

Dude you meet him once and now you think he's your BFF lmao. I guarantee they wouldn't be defending you like you are trying to defend him. Good lord. Why is it you can't actually address people's points / arguments? Sounds pretty toxic. If you think this company has been going in a good direction (product quality-wise), you're delusional.

Re: Has 2K Next Gen been abandoned?

You know whats sad (at least for me) Next gen 2k was a huge reason I got the series x. Not the only reason but huge. I thought well I enjoyed 2k20 so upgrading should be awesome. Nope lol. D is so terrible. Why can I just run around a defender for a layup or dunk?



Myleague been the same for years. I played nba2k20 myleague alot using my imagination to try to make it more immersive. Kinda boring but no new bugs. Mynba bugs bugs bugs. Draft classes superhuman with 99 physical attributes everywhere, attribute progression not working and gleague 99 player potential. Its a shame. Next gen 70 dollar game with Next gen 500 dollar console and this is what we got with no communication.



Also freakin Microsoft or 2k hasn't enabled quick resume with the game.

I'm pretty sure that the quick resume doesn't work well with the online games (for obvious reasons). For NBA 2K, it works fine when I play a regular offline game in Play Now.

Perhaps you should actually say something of substance about the game then, rather than targeting individuals. You seem to have far more to say about myself or the Gameplay Director than you do about the actual game.

(Which is ironic, bc you'd be ****ting bricks if that was switched up, given how quickly you're getting triggered here).

Re: Has 2K Next Gen been abandoned?

For the record...I never said the game was 'trash'. In fact, if anyone saw my impressions thread comments I said it was possibly the best NBA game to date were it not a few 'huge' holes...

Holes big enough that they let the game completely down...and thus some communication would be nice as to when these might be fixed / indeed if the intention is to fix them / even a "no, sorry, not this time" would be fine as we could go ahead with mass edits knowing PnR is not being fixed.

2K "insider"...I'll leave your comments alone as I am guessing you are very young and, at the very least, I admire your passion for the product.

I'm probably known for being one of 2K's biggest critics over the last two decades.

Great. If people want to come at me (and THAT'S what's going to make them feel better), I'll make time. There isn't any grand content we're losing out on here.

The OP was opinionated clickbait content by a creator that contradicted themselves no less than two minutes after the time stamp. Cool, very useful & credible information.

The only "points" made in this topic thereafter were largely "finger-points". We need to hold people accountable! You're making excuses for 2K! L-O-L.

No 2K employee is accountable to any window licking crybaby Karen on the internet. That isn't the reality we live in. Not at the scale we're talking. Ain't nobody in here a 20-year regular at a mom & pop complaining about the subpar service at their local restaurant.

On that note, I would suggest folks read this article on "The Customer is Always Right". (or rather, that they're not).

https://medium.com/better-marketing/the-customer-is-not-always-right-b302cb6be774

While I suggest reading the full article, here are some excerpts. Ya'll can let me know if any of this sounds familiar.

“The customer is always right.”
We’ve all heard that line before in business and marketing.

It means that if your product or service is bad, they won’t buy it, so it’s worth trying to make customers happy to secure the sale. Meeting their needs and expectations is your job.

Customers know this and some are likely to take advantage. Leveraging the power of public shame, aggression, and outrage to get what they want.

A free meal.
A discount.
A refund and apology.
It’s a display of power.

This is, in part, due to the fact that we now live in a connected, anonymous world — with screen names, instant and unlimited user profiles, free review accounts, and unverifiable voices at the end of the telephone.

Previously a complaint had to be said in person, between the business owner and the unhappy customer. Perhaps they lived in the same community. Perhaps they were friends or friends of friends.

Now that businesses are global, we’ve lost that in-person connection between you (as a business owner) and your customer.

How many times, without working there yourself, have you seen a person acting aggressively in a store? Not many, right?

Now, how many times have you seen a negative interaction instigated online towards a company or brand? A lot.

It goes on to cover the psychological theory of "Deindividuation".

Deindividuation is a phenomenon in which people engage in seemingly impulsive, deviant, and sometimes violent acts in situations in which they believe they cannot be personally identified. Groups, crowds, and especially on the internet.

(I would read the article for the full context; I don't want to post a book here)

Usually, misplaced outrage from customers is a reaction to their feelings — feelings and thoughts that they don’t feel you’ll listen to, or absorb fully.
People want to be heard.

Often, the best way to get a big corporation to listen is outrage and aggression. So that’s the route customers feel they need to take.

I don't work for the company. I'm not a company spokesman. I'm also not part of the mob mentality. Never have been, never will be. When people say disrespectful, ignorant, or uninformed ****, I have no issue flipping that energy right back on them. Not every take is a reasonable one that deserves equal weight.

Would I perhaps be more well-liked by going a different route? You bet. I'm not here to BS anyone. I tell it like it is, not as one would like it (and I very clearly don't mince words). Love me or hate me, speculation and misinformation ain't my style.

You sound like a butt hurt dev, mate. Many people are not happy with the terrible game this year...deal with it. It sounds like you need some time away from the internet anyway after that irrelevant rant.

I’ve had a back and forth with him before and I agree he’s got his issues....... however he isn’t completely wrong here......... he’s simply counteracting the majority of OS these days......... what’s good for the goose is good for the gander I suppose

My man you taking this thing to a whole different level based off your disagreement with what the OP posted? Mob mentality? and you puffing up every chance you get is not normal nor is it contributing to your point. My whole thing is this. If you simply don't like what the OP poster says why not just ignore it or another great thought create your own thread with your voice and opinions. I can guarantee there a bunch of posters that might not have agreed with the OP but you started out antagonistic and have escalated since then. I particularly didn't like a youtubers reference to the OP but I aint gonna sit there and prove something to the OP that's his opinion. Like it or not there are actually people out there that simply don't like next gen 2k plain and simple how is that equating to mob mentality. Is it mob mentality when posters consistently praise 2k and then chime in other threads to always counter another opinion when it differed from there own. It's obvious you have a deep connection to 2k and there employees but man this is some straight scary ground you elevating this too.

Plain as day the only one getting triggered here is you lmao, I'm just giving my opinion. I'm sorry if you think Devs or the actual EMPLOYEES OF A COMPANY are little angels that can never be held accountable for the product THEY create and the product THEY give misinformation about. Like who do you think 2K is? They're employees. Beluba isn't some intern, he's the frickin Gameplay Director and is a big factor on how the game plays, so why would he be immune from criticism? So why are they due praise if they make an amazing game. I guess Devs have no responsibility to the final product by your own dumb logic.
