2k the only game i know where...

A dude will do nothing but set screens, get easy boards, pass and let his PG do all the work.

.....And then turn around and talk trash like he is good and he did something lol

2k really needs a game mode where people get humbled. This the only game i know where it’s so easy that bums can get 95+% win percentages and literally not be good.

Compare to a game like Mortal Kombat where every bit of success you earn is because you are better than the other guy and it’s insane we play 2k

2K is a game where instead of learning how to play the game and playing actual basketball, users rather abuse glitches and shortcuts in order to get wins and feel like they're comp.

Example: Players in park/rec will go to the basket and do hop steps EVERY, SINGLE, TIME.

So true. No other game makes "gawds" out of bums as much as 2K. But that's what 2K wants. Participation trophies. False sense of skill. Confident in their OP build and glitchy jumper but not in their IQ. It keeps 'em coming back for more.

We're still waiting for there to be a bigger skill gap. I'm trying to remember at which point, which 2K, did 2K actually sell their soul to the Arcade devil lmao. Do people even talk about REALISM, SIM anymore? Does it even matter to 2K anymore or to the Devs? It's all about "the grind" now instead of "the gameplay". 2K's been dominated by social media casuals who make big noise to dumb down the game every year.

How many Beluba twitter polls will be made this year asking 12 yr old Billy his advice on basketball logic instead of basing the game off the actual sport and realism.

And to think this is an actual esport where people make actual money from 'skill'.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
The game is the way it is, because that’s how 2k wants it to be.
They’ve long given up on BASKETBALL.
Now it’s spam dribble move for 23 seconds until the defender either get put in an animation or gets sucked into a screen.
Then a terrible shot will be taken, the rebound will go right to the out of position center, and he’ll pass it back out to start all over.
Spam dribble moves right into my defenders chest, that has no less than 87 in all defensive stats plus maxed out “badges”, which I hate, and nothing happens.
What does happen is he gets a favorable animation that I can do nothing about.
Once that happens, my center will be in perfect position to to swat the ball into the stands, but either he’ll get an bad animation or the “dribble gawd” will get a good animation to avoid it and dunk on two people. Or, he’ll get blocked, get his own rebound, on the other big, and put it up to score or throw it out for a 3.
All from playing terrible basketball with horrible IQ.

I’ve seen people complaining that their stamina is gone by the end of the first quarter and want it increased.
Like it even matters anyway. You can be blinking red, half bar a shot, and it will still go in.

Believe me, or believe your own experience, 2k isn’t heading in the direction of sim, they’re headed even more in the opposite direction.
That’s where the money is!

what upsets you, his trash talking or the way he plays.

what you describe, is actually sound fundamental basketball.
set screens, get easy rebounds, and pass. that to me sounds like a really good big man, who knows his role.

IMO, that type of player should get rewarded for this style of play.

Definitely. Not everyone needs to be a superstar scorer. Every Michael Jordan needs guys like Dennis Rodman who are just very, very hard workers.
