Can someone answer this for me; or can they direct me to answers?

One developer is responsible for tendencies and they outsource it to a 3rd party.

Wait, so they are paying another company to make the tendencies and they don't complain about the lack of work that this other company does for money?

Lackluster work is rewarded in today's society.

Among all of them, the mid-range and spot-up mid-range tendencies are constructed the worst. I consistently fix those in my rosters. I'm mainly focusing on 2K23 now. This is a good question though, one that they never seem to take that seriously.

The 3rd party company is managed by the same developer.

Lots of people talk **** without knowing the full story.

Some people just talk **** and think they know everything.

Pretty plain and simple whoever is doing the Job isn't getting it done. Been happening for Years and just keeps being the same.

I legit dont give a damn about ''knowing the full story''.

The tendencies are laughable. Have been for some time now. The NBA portion that used to be the core of the game has been disgustingly neglected for years now.

The fact of the matter is: The game no longer accurately portrays real life basketball. This is now videogame basketball, kind of like FIFA Ultimate Team is.

Almost non existent fouls, not nearly enough three point shooting, the help defense logic issues, no stepback shots, an inconsistent contest system... I no longer feel like 2k is accurately representing what I watch on TV.

The fact that it takes people months of slider twitching and experimenting to even make the gameplay experience somewhat realistic and having to go through this process every. single. year. is pathetic.

Not everything. I know more than you do, though.

Everyone has different goal posts.

Tendencies are acceptable for the vast majority of the player base.

The tendencies are ''acceptable'' for the vast majority of the player base for the same reason Madden is. There is no other option. Or do you think people are really satisfied and happy with it?

Lets not act like most of the online park crowd gives a damn about realistic tendencies. All that matters to them is OP animations, unmissable 3pt "greens" and finding a meta.

I mean, just look at these forums. They are dead compared to the era around 2k11, or even 2k16 for that matter.

It was never intended to. It's a video game. There's as much realism here as there is in Call of Duty.

The majority of the playerbase doesn't want "realistic NBA basketball". Most of the people here who "want" it don't even know what that entails. Technology is at least 70 years away from replicating what transpires on an NBA court.

Almost non existent fouls, not nearly enough three point shooting, the help defense logic issues, no stepback shots, an inconsistent contest system... I no longer feel like 2k is accurately representing what I watch on TV.

The game needs to be balanced around what the system is ACTUALLY capable of technologically.

It's moreso that few people (beyond a vocal minority) actually care about them, much less understand what they are. The number of people who complain about Tendencies yet are actually capable of diagnosing & troubleshooting issues on a meaningful scale is even more miniscule

The game moving in an Online direction (as w/ most games) is precisely why Tendencies matter less than they ever have before.

As are most forums. It's a dying medium. Much like PvE 2K content.

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself to sleep at night.

You constantly active on threads acting like you know Everything that goes on at 2k and everything about the NBA and NBA 2K game.

For years you have come in here and belittle anyone that goes against You. You even Blocked me on Twitter because I called you out in front of your Followers.

You have stated your "FACTS" now there is no need for you to comment further. Let others comment and talk as you have provided your vast insights.

I speak from knowledge and experience, not speculation. Unlike you, I have actually had personal & professional relationships with people who work on the game, and have met a fair amount of them in person.

I have some insight into how things work behind the curtain, and therefore have a bit more to offer than passive aggressive statements about the quality of their work (Spoilers: You wouldn't be any better in the role).

Oh really

For years you have come in here and belittle anyone that goes against You.

I belittle people who make ignorant and/or idiotic statements. Certainly one of my vices, though the intent is to show people the error of their ways, rather than dunking on them for ego inflation.

You even Blocked me on Twitter because I called you out in front of your Followers.

I blocked you on Twitter because I consider you a dweeb.

Your anger suggests you haven't recovered from it after something like 10 years.
