Hi Guys,

Let me preface this by saying that I've thought about posting this and I'm not just doing it as an angry reaction. I currently have a record of 30-17 in MTO for what it's worth.

It's been terrible every year, but this year puts the absolute icing on the cake. I'm sorry, but I'm saying it: 2K is absolutely 100% fixing games.

I went 17-0 to start off this year and got to the Ruby league. All of sudden the same plays, the same players etc were just absolutely broken. Started shooting 30% every game and missing wide open layups, shooting around 10% every game from 3 with Steph Curry on all wide open shots etc...

Fine. I'd had a good start and chalked it up to my luck running out or a rise in difficulty. Possibly even the fact that the competition has got better.

But then I get demoted back to the Sapphire league. Now suddenly the same league that I went 6-0 on last time I can barely struggle to even stay in. Start the seed over, same result.

Since my unbeaten run my record has been 13-17. This might not seem so atrocious, but I've been accurately able to predict every win and loss within 10 mins of the game starting. Literally from the end of the 1st quarter I can see it.

I'm missing wide open layups. Opponent comes down and hits a contested shot. I miss a wide open almost perfect release mid range with a 90 rating shooter. Miss. Opponent comes down and hits a contested three.

It might sound salty but this is a fact: Only about 2 or so opponents in 17 losses have outplayed me. Everyone else has literally benefited from 2k's algorithm. And I'm not too proud to say I've benefitted too. Some games I've just been unable to miss no matter how terrible I play. Meanwhile my opponent is setting up good wide open shots and beating me on great plays and missing shots that don't deserve to miss.

I have factored in stamina, momentum, badges etc into this. This is an honest recap of what is actually happening.

I know others are seeing this too. Some people will lie to themselves and pretend it's something else, but deep down almost everyone who plays MTO knows this is happening.

This is by far the most obvious year of rubber band cheese, game fixing etc. It's ridiculous.

I think it's time someone at 2K just admits that this is happening now. Games are not balanced.

If you are chosen to win, you will almost certainly win. If you are chosen to lose, nothing you try to do will save you this year.
