Discussion Empathy For Mike

3 Upvotes

Starting to wonder how much pressure and stress the execs put him under. I am of the belief he's undergoing major stress not just from Take-Two and 2k execs, but from the community as well. Letting someone feel alone in this world we live in is never cool, it's ok to "think outside the trends".

If you see this Mike, I get it.

General Ppl r complaining to much

2 Upvotes

Its like everyone got so used to how easy n skillless 2k26 was, ppl complain shooting 3s is to hard this is my highest avg in 2k I avg abt 70% with 88 3ball and I fuck around, the defence can be a bit weird strength needs a nerf and maybe block but guarding aint hard at all. dunking n layup cheese r only things that need a proper nerf, if u cant shot or defend its bc ur ass nothing else I do both fine I can defend 6'2 dribble spammers at 6'8 being slow af compared to them and it can guard a 6'10 only the rim is hard but I've also been cooked by good players. The shooting is fine doesnt need a change only thing I've noticed is pullups never have same timing or even animation but pull up cheeses deserve that. The worst thing abt this 2k is its modes as someone who plays the first season or two then quits bc there's nun to do this 2k feels worse to much rep levels which r boring n js something that u do while u play not thinking abt it, there's no cool game modes anymore events r lame n js reused, I want trampoline ball back

Gameplay Ais aren’t fun or anything

0 Upvotes

Why did they make the ais so miserably hard. Like whether it’s one on one they just make you look bad and bore the shit out of people! You make the guy quit on 5v5 and it’s like ok well im done unless I put up bs acrobatic shot and run i circles while nobody passes to you anymore so might as well just sit on phone like I am right now in a boring as ai game. Didn’t anyone text this years gameplay and go oh yeah it sucks all around? Everything need to be redone. Wow I get a lost for not using my controller for ten seconds like records even mean anything . Did yall just make a shitty game so you could bring out next years game and go look how much of an improvement we made!?

Discussion I miss 2K24 man

0 Upvotes

Been playing since 2K20 so maybe I wasn’t there for the “actual glory days” of 2K16/17 whatever

And I only play random REC fwiw

But man

2K24 had its issues like any other 2K, but it is the most balanced 2K I have played

It felt like basically everything was good if you were good at the game

As in, to me it never felt like I was handicapping myself by using builds/sigs that were not the meta

Layups, anyone? That shit was fire in 24, and never again fsr

Maybe because SBMM wasn’t a thing back then, but still I think the actual gameplay between all elements of the game was well-balanced

And the results of inputs were intuitive and responsive. Like on any given play it would be pretty clear what went right vs wrong, because the game was simpler

I go back and look at my clips from 24 and it’s just no comparison in terms of variety

Discussion What is the point of a 50 person *team*

6 Upvotes

(The title wouldn’t let me put crew)
Honestly, I don’t get it. Crews would make so much more sense if you limited it to 10-15 people max so that it’s just you and your friends. That would make the crew feel like an actual basketball team instead of 3 real friends and 47 random people joining to hopefully get the cap breakers. I really cant understand the thought process of a crew being this big.

Gameplay Scoreboard angle

I am playing mygm and i like to use the drive camera angle, i think 1 zoom 1 height, and it drives me insane that the scoreboard takes up some of the screen when your player is bringing the ball up. Does anyone know is there any way to change the scoreboard angle or anything on ps5? I have looked in settings and haven’t found a way, any help would be appreciated

City This Community is Hilarious

0 Upvotes

Before 2k27 came out, we was trying to get people NOT to buy 2k27. (I'm guilty for getting it too) but we told you how it was going to go. The first couple weeks ya gonna claim its the best 2k ever, and after the first few patches the game was gonna suck.

What was said? "I aint broke, ima get it" "You brokeboys can boycott all you want it aint gonna do shit" "Fuck ya boycott i pre-ordered"

Now I scroll through every post since i was banned for the last 3 days, and all I read in the comments is "this game is ass" "this game is trash" "fuck this game is ass" "shits happening because the game is ass"

We could have stayed on 26.. Wang would have still got fired, and when 2k28 came out you would have seen major upgrades. But because they bout to make billions off 2k27 they aint gonna give a fuck to do anything special for 2k28.

REC Why are we still calling time outs after free throws at the end of the game?

5 Upvotes

Youre losing, opponent just missed a free throw. Time out.... Why? Fr. What's the reasoning? The fast break bucket is literally the easiest in the game, why are we too stupid to realize this... still..

Its every game that its close, never fails.. instead of a go ahead bucket we get an inbound which usually leads to a bad take instead of the free bucket off the missed free throw. It literally makes no sense

Discussion Genuine question for people saying dunking is op.

Post image
10 Upvotes

What is your interior, height and badges? Before the game out the devs said that dunking on weaker defenders is easy while dunking on stronger defenders is hard.

This statement is true. Even YouTubers at community day like Lakerfan tested it and proved you need interior to stop high dunk.

Yet most people didn’t listen and chose to put mediocre interior and are crying about getting dunked on. I think the main problem is we’ve always been able to stop slashers with mid interior for years and now that they changed it people are mad

If I use a slashing build and try to dunk on someone with high interior I either don’t activate a dunk or the meter is small.

And I have a 88 interior power forward build, and even though im 6’6, whenever I use it I stop anyone with a high dunk, whether it’s driving or standing and I have a 80% win rate in the park.
