2k is never going to be good on new gen consoles, those ultra-realistic proplay animations ruin the game completely and year after year they will keep putting more and more animations and ruining the game more and more, 2k will never again be a fun game as it was before, the last 2k good was 2k20 , they complicate everything , shoot , dribble , basic mechanics , its not fun for nobody , ppl want a arcade game to having fun not this bullshit
Facts I 100% agree with u idk why they trying to make 2k more realistic like it’s supposed to be Arcade game and 2k20 was the last good one I wish they never shut down the serve bc I would have been playing 2k19 and 2k20
2k will never be the same period they are literally only after your money now.. not good games or gameplay etc. just "give me all your money". 2k was the giant slayer in the early 2000s or should I say the EA killer. But Greed and Corps. always win
I know the shooting is rough this year but honestly if you’re shooting 3/12 with a 94 3pt, you’re just bad lol. I’m shooting 62% with an 85 3, high risk/reward shooting
2k25 is not your last one. All yall dummies keep saying that. I ain't bought 2k since 2k16, and I'm not. . Keep buying and playing and this will continue
Well I can say that bc this is actually my first 2k I ever brought bc normally I would game share and I regret it I won’t buy or play next year bc we got more games im worried about
Yes some ppl buy iphone every year and some people switch to Android some people buy J's every year and some people don't. 2k isn't better than either of those products and not worth the money. You keep your new Jordans u buy, you keep your iphone when you update. Y'all some bots. Just give money to the homeless bruh fuck 2k I support that more than a greedy company that's mind fing you
Didnt touch 2K since 21, last decent one, grabbed 25 cause i got that time on my hands and the game has still gone on a trend of getting worse and worse then back in the day, it will really be most peoples last 2K cause this was the last chance for 2K
Sh!t I ain't a 2k/ EA Cash Cow and I love sports and been playing since the nes/snes. I haven't bought a 2k full priced game in a minute bruv just like how I love Football (NFL) but I ain't bought it fully priced either since Madden 12. I have also never spent a dime on any points or cards ever. We aint all "Dummies" some of us just love sports and miss the days where sh!te was deep but also you could pick it up at night in your few moments and play and feel like Michael Jordan (or insert yours here lol) NFL 2k5 DEEP and FUN.. Nba 2k3, 2k11-12 same.
Also why do 6'4 and under get so many attribute points? Why tf they got multiple 90+ ovr stats in every category yet u try to get a 92/93 3 on a 6'6 from 60ovr and 2k look at u like "bro u got 2 attribute points left and u still aint put nothing in finishing, defense playmaking and ur damn physicals" That shit dont seem right cause other than being taller than the 6'4 and unders what other perk exactly do we get that makes having a 6'6 actually worth it?
I been saying this for the longest your height shouldn’t affect your attributes but 2k put a cap on my players since 2k15 so only player who 6’6 and under get the better attributes even though it shouldn’t be like that.
This Def my last 2k. I'm not buying again unless the game is just crazy good. Dribbling is clunky and slow, shooting is inconsistent ass. I should not have a 99 3pt and praying that I make a wide open Shot.
@DaVinciSan let 2k Continue to try and be a realistic sim game. And let some other game developer come out with some type of nba streets arcade game again
shot 71% in 23 shot 75% in 24... im shooting 23% in 25 lmao. Im disabled and play all day everyday... this is the worst 2k ive ever played since 18. missing wide booty butt neked open off the cherry pick is just not it bruh. my whole playstyle has been cherry picking and i would be fine with being 50... but 20 bruh game is cooked
Just play real basketball lol can’t complain about developers/RNG when you miss a shot, it’s free, great exercise and you make friends that aren’t toxic If y’all paying $200 for one character you can easily afford some good shoes for it as well
U want the game the game to be like arcade... it's too realistic... wow that's the whole point of evolution of this games they supposed to become more realistic n harder i remember Steve nash could dunk on Yao ming or Shaq back in the day I'm glad it's more harder
I’m don’t I’m literally a casual player I don’t have the time to be listening everything just to make one shot and a layup that’s stupid when the game was arcade it was fun and simple
I guess some rumors are true realism does kill video games and it’s not just that 2k has gotten worse over the years with no changes, no effort, it’s like they’re being like EA with madden NFL, NBA 2k used to be fun but I guess those days are gone we seriously need a competitor 😢
Facts 2k use to be simple and fun now it’s no longer fun idk why they keep trying to be it realistic bc it’s supposed to be a game but 2k doesn’t fuck with us
I'm not feeling this one especially the shooting it's a deal breaker for me because I always create a player with a 3 so yea it's a thumbs 👎🏾 for me on verge of deleting it and hopping back on 24 frfr
2k24 was my last 2k an good riddance bruh it's so nice to relax an enjoy other games an actually have fun instead if dealing with 3k issues plus people who are allergic to assisted am teamplay it makes me physically ill God speed to whoever still tolerates this dumbass game
Yea 2k trash and y’all want people basically to buy the game again just to upgrade their player instead of making it easier to get vc and fixing the defense how is it more “realistic” when people just go thru me wen I’m holding L2 and I’m right on them it says open. disgusting definitely not buying another 2k good luck I hope nba live comes back
I feel your pain because I quit playing after 2k20. However you're fighting the wrong fight. 2k did what they had to do because of the zen & titan users. Blame them for forcing 2k to make the changes they did to shooting. That rabbit whole can get deep because to be honest if the community wasn't so toxic and concerned with stats it might have worked out. As long as it's pay to win it's going to forever be bad
Bro that was the purpose was a new way to get us to spend more not a game that is really about basketball just getting the community to spend money 🤑💰😂😂😂
For them to stop making all this billions of dollars is for us to stop buying the damn game. We need to let 2K go out of business. And for the ones who be saying 2K is a good game or we don't know how to play it or we just trash those be the ones that be cheating they be doing all that Zen cheating bullshit
@@DaVinciSan I didn't get it cuz I already knew how it was going to play out. My money is safe in my pocket so I can enjoy a game I can sit back and relax and don't have to pay for hell of VC and clothes..
I got banned for "quitting" games(my console turned off 1 too many times mid games) i got 120 mins thats 2hrs i spent those 2hrs in the my court testing out all the difficulty settings and just shooting shots. I dont remember how many shots i took but its was a LOT. Got to a point where i was able to green without even looking at my player im thinking when this ban is done im ready to go out there and start whooping ass.... first game on i went 2/7 then second game 3/11 i shut the game off right there cause this is bs. It genuinely feels like when i shoot im just HOPING it goes in at this point cause CLEARLY i dont fucking know my release 😅😂. Like i can FEEL the change on my shot. Sometimes i might hold the shit a bit later than what my green is suppose to be and im like yeah i missed that i held it a bit late and the shit say "slightly early" excuse tf outta me but are u gon tell me that i DIDNT hold the square button mad long? Or when u think shit i didnt hold it long enough that should be early or sum but nah the shit green. Im there flabbergasted cause i know damn well i shoulda missed that shit 😅 but yeah the shit jist mad inconsistent and
U do realize my court uses ur set difficulty setting and has no lag like any online court. If ur on rookie ur gonna knockdown shots left and right in my court. U need to be going to the outside courts or joining a friend's city while in ur my court. These methods will actually simulate the in-game lag
I can’t lie if I even creat a script it’s still not going to help me from talking fast bc I talk like that in real life ever since 7 or 8 grade and plus I have adhd too so I won’t be able to stay on script 😭😭😭
Tbh if i was to be ceo for 2k interactive studios, man. I would definitely fire everyone who made nba 2k including mike wang and ronnie himself. I would hire those who will certainly care about the quality of games and the way they carry themselves that brings honor and respect to fans when playing games they enjoy and like. but yeah id fire the hell out of everyone who dont want to be creative and respect the work of whats required to keep the fans engaged in gaming and to keep those satisfied with the product.
If you know your jumpshot it shouldn’t matter. Im shooting fine. The issues is the bump steals should be more realistic bc people really don’t know how to dribble (get better) and turn down the lane steals just a touch 🤷🏽♂️
dawg, I've been talking to my 2's duo abt this. I think they intentionally make the game worse and worse (or less fun, because people like to say this game is better than previous years) so they can force casual players to get their basketball fix somewhere else...such as GTA 6, a game shared by the same parent company, a game that's planning on coming out with virtual basketball, and a game that a lot of people (such as 2k "casuals") are already getting hyped about. That's why they screwed the dribbling, the shooting, sbmm, lane steals, smoking open lays, etc. They WANT to make the people who cannot dedicate their entire life to the game to become disgruntled and eventually play something else. Give it like 3-4 years, All the 2k "casuals" will be on GTA 6 if they wanna play ball, and 2k will be reserved for only the most dedicated.
It was fun bc it was arcade game and It was simple plus u had fun now it’s boring bc it’s not even simple no more if u want to want real basketball go outside and just play basketball yourself
I was shooting 68% with a 64 3pt in 2k20 65%with a 78 3pt in 2k24 and now shooting 51% in 2k25 with a 76 3pt. Honestly, people need to learn their animations. If people run up on you, it's open, but it gives you a contested release, so it's fast. But when you're open and no one runs at you, it's a regular release, and it is so much slower of a jumpshot. I honestly like it better now. Aint nobody going 14 for 16 from the three👌
2:10 speaking on layups imma have to disagree cause that shit is bs. 2k got me and my bro missing wude open layups. Exhibit A: We facing off against some red plate mfs but i was cooking we were hitting out shots shit was great best game ive had yet. Score is 18-18 i play great defense get the steal i throw it up to my boy who was already damn near in the paint. Im thinking if we make it 18-20 then even if they hit a 3 we still in the game, we can win. He clanks it. This is how wide open he was. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO EVEN MADE IT PAST HALF COURT. It was him the rim and a basketball. Opposing team didnt even move from our half cause even they had chucked it up as a bucket. When i tell u the way all hopes faded the moment he missed that shit and then we lost 21-18 cause i got vacumm sucked into a screen even tho i wasnt trying to and the 6'2 guard with 94 3 hit the shot to end the game. I almost folded my controller. It was funny af after tho 😂😂
Ur buddy held the button wayyyy too long lmaoo if u over hold it's just like a very late shot. Gotta time the layups but dam wide open is wild only time I missed a wide open layups is when I pressed shoot too far away and my 5'9 pg decides he's a Kareem and threw up a broke ahh hook shot. My mind was blown I must've been right over the line that animation triggers. Besides that wide open is cash fo me
2K Gambling Machine rolls on as it is a pay to win game even in its mechanics. Only way to really win in this game is either play 24/7 or pay pay. I've been done with onlines crap all around! I am only playing older sport games (NFL 2k5 etc) as well as 2k23s MY NBA right now because my franchise modes I made. So screw 2ks 24/25 especially. From wrestling to NBA to even Grand theft Online they just want your $$$
@@DaVinciSan Its become so f(kd in these gaming franchises w their blatant greed like shit bruv atleast try to hide it a little bit not completely violate our wallets and our pride. You walk in these games as a level 1 w/ no Lebron Jaaw'mes SHARK CARDs or any $$$ spent other than the 70-100+$$$ the game cost you.. its prob gonna be a Bad Tiiime..u gonna have to 24/7 it! .if the servers even work lol
I appreciate your video, but 19 was intentionally made arcadey. 20 was more realistic, but was limited by the technology available. Next Gen is able to make stuff realistic. If you play basketball in real life, missing open shots happens all the time, even if you are a perfect shooter.
@@DaVinciSan idk if you honestly get on and go to parks with no pre warm up or even just a few shots before you start up you’re gonna miss until you learn that shit from a casual your best bet is never change the jumper just the base!!!
I dont wanna say it suuucks. but people need to be tryin these Annual Games first if u can before you buy it please! Back in the day we had demos we could test shit out. But like really ask what do u want this game for, what game modes u wanna sink your precious time & Money $$$ into: online/ offline aka franchise or mynba etc.. online is just a mess of P2W or sh!te servers and there are gameplay problems.. They are a straight up Monopoly. 2Ks Towers go high bruv!!
Nah last thing u wanna do in this community is listen to the content creators. They all just looking for clicks. The game is fine.. these losers keep complaining cus they can't shoot 70-80% from three.
@@DaVinciSan you gotta use the right analog hold down then flick the right stick up as you release your shot it’s really good especially when set shooting it makes the green window larger
i dont mind the shooting but i dont agree with the rhythm shooting....it only feel natural on set shots...2k added that bs nobody wanted...2k getting worse and worse. Rim running at all time high...dunks and lay ups thru whole teams but maybe its me too. Im 40. Been playing since 2k9. I been a casual these past 2yrs. Game not worth all that time when you my age.
@@DaVinciSan he literally never used the term RNG. He then showed the data of the green window shifting supporting this by adding the “cue” does not change. If you’re gonna use a source use it right.
@@DaVinciSan makes sense for content creators to buy the games, but for me i just cant justify it. And hey keep playon the game you bought it, but dont give em a dollar!
It shouldn’t have rng in general bc casual players will never get used to it bc u have to keep playing for a while and most casual players ain’t going to want to do that we like simple not all this bs plus they reason they did it was stupid bc if they wanted to stop cheating they could have added anti cheat bc now it hurt us casual players
