My experience is similar, to sum it up:

From 2k11 through 2k15 I played multiple seasons of My Career on 12 minute quarters. Had alot of fun.

2K16 I played through one season because work was...

Re: this game can go straight h*ll!

Unfortunately true. At one time the game was designed more for offline and couch H2H for basketball fans. Once solely online play became a reality, 2K basically switched their focus from the original...

Re: What freelances are you running?

Freelances are interesting; while you can get a general idea of what each does from reading up you really have to sit down with the game for an hour or two and really dig into them to find all the...

Re: Defense recently got way worse?

That does sound like the CPU may be playing around with the difficulty under the hood and needs to have the numbers manually adjusted every once in a while to reset things back to your personal...

Re: Please turn the help defense, and cutter help defense back to were it was on rele

This is what I've been saying for a few years now. 2k is not designed for students of the game, it is designed for casual fans that watch ESPN Top 10 Plays and think that's how basketball works...

Re: Last I Checked, The League is Shooting 37% on Wide Open 3s

Unfortunately it's a video game and when it comes to online play where people take pride in their stats (too much pride IMHO), probably 90% or better of the people you match up against will play to...

Re: Last I Checked, The League is Shooting 37% on Wide Open 3s

That's one of the things that bugs me as a defensive oriented player; there's plenty of times (especially inside) where I'm on a player of a similar size or smaller than me in what would be described...

Re: Last I Checked, The League is Shooting 37% on Wide Open 3s

True...the power creep effect from badges has slanted just about every mode, and especially My Team and My Players modes, in the direction of arcade antics. From that aspect those modes have turned...

Re: Last I Checked, The League is Shooting 37% on Wide Open 3s

Yes,unfortunately modern 2K games have become less of a recreation of the sport and more an Arcade/Mobile hybrid game with an NBA license; it can be made fairly sim but it requires a bit of "reverse...

Re: Beluba still a sim head???

Yeah,as an old school gamer I can see that they've pretty much indoctrinated younger gamers to the notion that micro transactions "are just part of the game if you want to be good". There's still...

Re: Beluba still a sim head???

It's strictly a business decision. By design 2K is designed in a way to keep people spending money on the game all year long as well to attract the type of people that are likely to do so. They would...

Re: Beluba still a sim head???

Re: Beluba still a sim head???

Re: Beluba still a sim head???

I think this is right. Mike,Czar,etc are not a private self funded development company with 100% control; they are essentially employees of a subdivision of Take Two Interactive. While I'm sure they...

Re: Interceptor badge 100% needs a nerf

That's been an issue with 2K for a while now....it's either the ball warping through hands and Centers firing off full court Hail Mary outlet passes for easy dunks or nothing gets through because...

Re: Interceptor badge 100% needs a nerf

Unfortunately alot of of the badge issues lies in that the base 2k experience is no longer highly realistic basketball. IMO it is now more of a sports RPG type of experience based on basketball; this...

Re: NBA 2k23 should adapt the NBC Theme Monage

Re: Please turn the help defense, and cutter help defense back to were it was on rele

This is almost exactly my feelings and why I didn't buy 2K this year.It's gone from being a decent sports simulation to a sports themed ARPG that you can get to play kinda like a simulation if you're...

Re: NBA 2k22 reviews on Metacritic score

When it comes to review scores, IMO it really depends if we're talking current gen or next gen.While I'll readily admit that next gen looks fun and interesting, when I played 22 at a friends house on...
