Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

Greatest basketball game ever. Hands down.

Its in the argument for best sports game ever as well in my opinion. I think in 10 years it will be mentioned
with the other all time classics MVP05, NFL 2k5 and College Hoops 2k8.

Possible, they always struggle to follow up on their elite games.

As long as they don't **** it up with a patch. Then yes. This is the goat of 2ks. I've heard this a few times from posters on here, and it's so true. You can tell this one was made with love and crafted carefully. 2K11 was made with love.

This game was made for us. Especially the offline players. Which is just so rare these days. And Da Czar really put alot of care into how the the game plays. I'm gonna buy another copy just to show my love.

This game is everything I ever wanted in a basketball game.

Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

I think the older Era rosters play a better game than the modern Era rosters. A lot of "bugs" and "exploits" (which I think are due to the amount of badges)... like Fox can blow by anyone at anytime no matter the difficulty.

Not sure if it's the best yet.

I’m hoping those classic players play like they do in the classic eras when I’m finished when my all time eras and use them even in the modern era. What I do to make gameplay better even from current players is edit tendencies to raise mid range, contested mid range, and lower drives. Then it starts looking like real ball.

You can really see how one dimensional today’s NBA is by how their tendencies look. It’s just threes and drives. Classic player tendencies on the other hand are far more dynamic and balanced. Like real life imo.

As for the game. It’s by far the best. It’s the new 2K11. A couple bugs annoy me (like being unable to access all sigs for players which seems like a bug and the annoying damn swish issue) but as long as they don’t latch everything out, it’s beyond amazing. They made it with love. A true passion project. Shoutout to the team and Czar the GOAT.

Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

Greens and similar things where always around.

What wasent around was green being a guaranteed make.

Green itself was never the problem.
The problem was and will be that greening is a 100% bucket regardless of ratings.

This 2K with a 70 3pnt rating and the right badges a wide open shot is a green unless you mess up your timing.

It remains silly.

It should be near impossible to green a 3 with the low of a rating.

Let alone repeat it every single time.

Agreed. Problem with the career modes is that there are so many things available to circumvent ratings like boost and badges.

It’s a little different as far as NBA H2H….Nobody’s hitting greens with Rudy Gobert in 2K23. As we know, 2K22 may have been a different story. That’s why I’m a fan of how they did shooting this year personally….challenging but fair. If I can survive NBA 2K8 I can survive anything, lol

Offline, As always I can completely control my own environment, So it doesn’t really matter to me there.

To answer the threads question though, Man, it’s definitely up there. We’ll see in a month or so.

He told no lie. This washes any other 2k in existence

Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

Ok, I'm a Chicago kid... so much so I can walk to the United Center from my parents house.

I'm in Eras mode currently. The nostalgia. The Filters. The Presentation. My goodness.

I get to put on the throwback Championship Warmups on in my modern day Bulls. I get to play Jordan from college to even Washington Mike if I want to.

I get to play and see teams change their floors and uniforms through time and even rules change. I can play All Star games with teams wearing their own jerseys if I want to.

Missing courts? I can input the missing courts with the historical changes Still in tact? Hell America West Arena in 1993 and Corestate Center.

Are there hella bugs and some issues? Hell yeah. DO they need to patch up a few things? Of course!

Am I having fun? Very much so. I thin kthe most fun I have ever had.

Yes Ronald was correct. Greatest 2k ever.. until 2k24. Kudos to the team.

If you hate or irritated with this game, its cause you want to be.

What a game.

Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

Parts of the gameplay are still complete ***. I’m faster end to end than the majority of people in this game and I’m in my mid 30s and haven’t ran a true sprint in years. I understand they wanted to nerf turbo spamming a couple years back but not being able to take off in a straight line with nobody around you is insanely annoying. It makes no sense.

“We’re gonna build an entire mode around MJ but not let you finish a fast break with him”.. love the logic behind it lol.

[emoji23][emoji23] in all seriousness I really haven't seen this. It was a huge issue in 2k22 though. Where players noticeably slowed down on the fb.

It’s the same issue, it’s just not AS bad. Seems to depend on when you hit turbo and where the other players are on the floor.

But just in general players have always been too slow in 2k. The bigs run in what looks like a slow motion captured video. Like humans in real life cannot even physically move their legs in a running motion that slowly unless underwater lol. And even in just freestyle mode you can’t get fast guys to get up the court nearly as fast as real life, or with as little dribbles as it actually takes. End to end I’ve been faster than most players in 2K for a decade now. And I’m not a fast human [emoji23].

It’s not really THAT big of a deal. And I get why they do it. But 3 plays like this cost me winning the 2nd Jordan challenge game by 15 points which is one of the 3 star goals. Only won by 14 and now I’m salty as hell because all that time was waisted because silly me thought hitting turbo on a break would make me run faster lol.

Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

On cg they finally fixed chase downs or people aren’t badged enough. I know I know how to block and I haven’t got any. Even taking it on the break and finishing with a lay up. Man the game fluidity is good. My boy says it’s slow etc and I feel him, felt the same way, but it’s just like things in general are more powerful and the game is more methodical.

My 7’3 dude is dumb. People still making 6 8 cs with changed speed curve and less crazy blocks. I’m 7’3 with 69 vert. I’m grabbing Rebs off the top of the backboard loool. 50 speed 39 accel is deceptively fast. Most dudes over 7 ft are slower than me.

He is! On both current gen and next gen or whatever on both versions basically...

Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

It’s a bit relative I’d say, since you have to compare it to what 2k on Dreamcast meant in relation to all prior Lives or what 2k11 / 14 meant at the time. You cannot just say it’s the best without keeping this in mind. Hardware was limited back then so what they managed back then w/ those limitations is still as impressive if not more.

That being said, w/ the introduction of classic mode and filters all across the league’s existence, signature moves in and very passable gameplay without the green release focus, as well as not patched to death, right now 2k12 is still my #1 w/ 2k2/3 a good second. The street modes and graphical improvements were just insane at the time.

2k23 sounds great on almost every level, but bugs, the patches sure to come and in some ways still no groundbreaking improvements in years, has me hesitant to call it the best.

To clarify, the leap from 2k3 to 2k12 was much bigger than 2k12 to 23 in terms of gameplay. We still have the same issues w/ CPU AI reading passes, fast breaks not working properly, no extensive passing options, defense AI still not what it should be.

If you asked me w/ the knowledge and technical possibilities of the modern era, if I thought in 2012 that by 2023 2k would have fixed some of the glaring issues ,plaguing the series for a long time, I’d say for sure. Granted, consoles aren’t really expanding buttons to allow for more options without a workaround, but still. It’s a wait and see for me.

Re: So Was Ronnie2k Right?

Actually had a question I wanted to bring to the boards about this.

Was there ever "no green mechanic" in 2K. I have memories of practice mode on the PS2 where they were giving me yellow "slightly late"/"slightly early" and green "excellent" shot feedback.

Is it more about getting the green animation/shot feedback in game? Or excellent releases being automakes?

Just curious b/c I hear "get greens out the game" a lot but I've been playing this game for 20 years an feel like greens have been in the game for like 15 years at least.

To the original post question, yes. Hard to compare across console generations but this is up there with 11 and 16 as all timers to me. Though they still haven't reached the summit of the CH2K8 mountain.

what people mean when they say that is up until i think it was 2k16 or 2k17 yes There were Green Releases in the game but unlike today a Green Release didnt mean that the shot went in at 100% success rate. instead having a Green Release just meant that you maximized the shot percentage in correlation to the players 3pt rating.
