Aiming mini game is gone and controls more like 2K20???





Suddenly my interest is climbing.....

It's a start. I know that I still play NBA 2K20 due to the RS alone.

Right there with you. I was planning on staying with it this year, too, but this development has turned my head slightly.

If the controls are more akin to how they were in 2K20 and previous to that - I may lean towards a purchase.

Maybe.

I only use Real Player % for shots and free throws anyway, BUT I'm really glad you guys are happy with this news of the aiming being gone.

Now where's the MyNBA stuff...

Re: Info from Beluba

I hate that cheaters killed vibration feedback on shooting. It was always one of my favorite additions.

Knew aiming wouldn't make it to the next game, but I enjoyed it while it was here....the initial iteration of it anyway.

I hate to see long pressing RS for hesi's and size ups go though, that felt really natural and it's something I used often.

Never one to complain about change or new mechanics though, mastering them is part of the fun for me....just hope they've smoothed things out a bit from the 2K20 system.

90% of my gameplay is in MyCareer but this “MyPlayer only drip-feed animations” really is dumb as hell.

How absurd is it that they could drop a Jalen Green sig package and JALEN GREEN can’t use it?

Adding animations throughout the year is legitimately a good thing, but the proposed method is one of the worst ways you could do it. Especially since it means nothing for the NBA side of the game.

Is that really what that means? I figured they were just referencing, I don't know, zany streetball animations or something, things that wouldn't fit in an actual NBA setting (I know zero about MyPlayer).

Hopefully that means the whole Road to 99 grind is out. I still expect to see the pay wall with starting from 60 OVR. But, they do have to at least lessen up on either the grinding or pay wall. Either allow us to start from. 70-75 OVR or make the grind less strenuous. I thought this past year would have been my first time to 99. But once I got to 95 and realized how many more games you have to play to get to 99 plus having to win to maintain it, made me lose interest. Once I get to a point where I max all the badges and knock out the primary ratings, I'm not getting any "better" after 92-93 OVR. So, I just want to be able to just play to enjoy not to keep grinding.

"to clarify, you won’t lose overall on next gen as we have a different system in place there. overalls can still fluctuate in current gen"

So, looks like the current gen still has the Road to 99 while next gen has a new system

Re: Info from Beluba

The comments about the animations is almost something that I predicted when somebody was arguing for NBA 2K to be a "live service" in the other closed thread.

Animations are going behind a paywall...

Re: Info from Beluba

I'm glad that they are keeping the gameplay the same and not pull an EA. There are still people out there that don't have NEXT GEN systems. So why leave them out with the experience?

Besides what can 2k do to make the gameplay more next gen? Actual physics? I don't think they are willing to start over....

Because I coughed up over 500 dollars to have a different experience than last gen

Shot aiming was great. I really like it. It would have been perfect without green releases.

Real talk. I'm kinda pissed off about that game development decision. I did get the next gen game experience with OTHER games, but I primary bought my console for NBA 2K.

Re: Info from Beluba

Removing aiming is an exercise in futility. Excellent timing scripts will still be around, thus zens aren’t going anywhere.

Those zen users somehow dodge all criticisms going on 5 years now. Aiming also made using square boring imo I dunno how I could go back, hopefully precision shooting is the new aiming.
