to make things abundantly clear :

I couldn't care less about the MyCareer centric modes. At all.

A fictional rec center cannot be NBA Sim, thats an oxymoron.
Anything involving boosts and badges cannot be sim.

I think 3PT% are incredibly too high, but most of the 2K Community is cool with that, because they got a "green release" on the shot. If you're an offline player, you're just better off getting the game and changing the sliders/settings/rosters to how YOU like the game of basketball and calling it a night. If you're an online player, then you HAVE to be comfortable with the fact that 2KSports gets most of it right and don't sweat the small stuff. Like tru11 said...if they made this game a true simulation, the game would be hard to 99% of the players. Personally, I'm even throwing in the "simheads" into this group. You all can't handle a true simulation game of basketball.

I can certainly understand where you are coming from. Definitely anyone who prefers to play online has to be at least willing to compromise and accept the game for what it is, or else deal with being miserable every second online,which honestly sounds so awful it would drive me to another game pretty quickly.

As an offline player, I am not afraid to say I want something that reasonably replicates the actual NBA....and this is indeed possible to degree with rosters,sliders and settings. The thing is with patches and updates and everything else, it can be so finicky that it feels like there are times where I do nothing but spend hours fiddling with things to get back to a decent simulation again.This wears on a man after a while, and makes him question if it is worth the constant effort for such a small return.

Now when it comes to a true simulation,I am not afraid to admit that while I would do a little better than some,I would still get my butt kicked repeatedly.....I'll tell you this though, a challenge like that would probably fire up my interest enough that I would be willing to put in the practice to "get good", as it were.

Personally, I’ve stated in the past that R* (Rockstar Games) would incredibly out-do the individuals at take-two in regards to creating the “best” basketball game. Their attention to detail is unmatched, if anyone would like to argue take-two over R* in that regard, I’m all ears.

Now that Take-Two has no competition with EA ending the fallen from grace NBA Live, the fact that they remain with a monopoly on basketball games is essentially...unideal for us as consumers to say the least. We have, and will continue to have, absolutely no voice regarding the input of the sillyness of this game (badges and archetypes), furthermore, being subject to the lack of updates presented in this game.

If R* can create entire worlds, modern day and past, i.e GTA + RDR, then I would back the assumption they could certainly create only one aspect of that world perfectly (basketball).

In REC, I just hope that my teammate moves to a different position on the floor.

I usually do the same, but more often than not (or at least more often than they should) they get the steal anyhow. Either way, it definitely shouldn't work as well as it does. If they're making pre-mature swipes at the ball, I should be able to buzz it past them without thinking twice about it

Separate note:

I wonder how much money NBA players spend on VC per year? If anyone were able to whale a couple thousand, it'd be someone on a multi-million contract right?

Or are these guys more casual "F2P"? Answer would probably require a reporter to take a survey on how these guys prefer to play.

(As an aside, I don't care about the VC argument)

On the sim vs arcade note:

Sim nuts are comical. The defensive AI has never existed at a level necessary for sim to be truly possible. DaCzar has done a phenomenal job diversifying offense with all these options and schemes over the course of this decade. An AI defense can't adapt (ANTICIPATE), all it can do is REACT to what the offense does - and in many cases the reaction is intentionally weak, because otherwise scoring would be impossible.

It's like being a purist about Call of Duty. Sure, you can play one-shot-kill if you want it "sim" but it's not like any other aspect of the game (movement, reloading, aiming) is remotely realistic.

This comes from a larger Twitter thread discussing 2K with other NBA players, who actually enjoy 2K...like Donovan Mitchell and Eric Paschall

Different strokes for different folks, even NBA players.

I'm not a big fan of this year's online game, but I do really enjoy it offline with some slider tweaks. I found a very simple set that helps with my enjoyment of the game. I think guys drive themselves crazy over tweaking it because things arent playing 100% like they want them to. Gotta find some middle ground.

thats his opinion.

and of course he had no constructive criticism like most kids on social media
