yall trynna patch dribblung is crazy. theres so much actual bs instead thats what yall wanna patch njus bc yall cant guard patch the defense not the skill dribbling. we been doing this dribbling shit since 1k14vnow yall want to complain smd

the community is the real problem … these kids don’t know how to play real basketball.

Hit the nail on the head. Perimeter defense has been atrocious for YEARS. 2K doesn’t care about balance, they only care about increasing profit margins.

Literally farming the whole 2k community 😂

Finally a honest 2k24 video 😂 instead of showing 2k19 gameplay while talking about what Wang said over n over 😂😂😂

2k been trash for 6 years now it just shows how the community settles for it and donates their annual $300-500+ to Take Two Interactive.

Two things I remember about the glory days of 2k15-17 1.Dribble spams were easy steals, if you did a spin move into a player without them pressing anything it would knock the ball loose and you would get picked. 2. Moving Screens existed and screens that worked didnt have longlasting animations that glitched the defender. Defence needs to be buffed. Big time.

I miss playing basketball video games. Ever since 2k servers started disappearing along with my vc. I was done. My mind is blown that people defend this company. Player base is down but profits are up. They’re gonna suck the life out of the little but of players they have left. I hope they all go broke buying 2K VC and end up homeless like Squidward in his cardboard box and tin can!!!

2k finna patch the defense within the 1st month like always cause the offense can’t handle real defense

For real THE COMMUNITY IS SO STUPID! They trash talk Chris smoove but forget that 7’3 stretches are going to be OP, possibly 7’5 post scorers, and blinded by nostalgia and order 2k24 all because of Kobe. Disgusting marketing of profiting off a dead man like madden did in 23. Also it is so Pay TO PLAY MYCAREER!! The community in general is a hot Cheeto ratchet girl mentality. Offense will always be over defense every single year. For real though, W rant and love to see small streamers care for 2k more than 2k itself! You a beast for making this video 🔥

This video deserves a million views. Great Editing and telling the gods honest truth. The sad thing about it is, 2K doesn't even need to change the game that much. The Fanboys are gonna buy 2K every year spend $3000 dollars on the game anyway. I personally haven't played 2K since 2018 because I saw the Play coming. I knew where they were taking this game. Now they are literally making the game pay to win.

Finally someone that talks about the issues aside from just the VC. The issues go FAR beyond that. Gameplay needs to go back to how it used to be before 2K21

Yup, the 2k community broke this game. I’ve been saying it for years, the majority of people who play this game claim they hate it. Yet, they’ll probably hop on any time they can & blame “Ronnie2k” when they miss shots

The worst part is the lack of body up animation on defense. You could have a player with 99 strenght and perimeter and interior, you will still be like a ghost for the offense.

Drippy face scans are the corniest things ever

Bro speaking facts the last good 2k was 2k20 🙏💯

I’ve been saying. Dribbling and offense does not need to be nerfed, we just need better defense to match it. Every year y’all complain about offense and then they nerf it and the game is boring.

This is why I liked NBA live 19 defense. As incomplete as the game was, I had fun playing defense because there was laws set in play. You had the ability to get a red , yellow or green animation. If you got a green and timed the steal right then you get the ball. I rarely felt like I was out of my league and if felt more fair playing defense on the wing. The 2k community is okay with exploiting and cheese and the devs encourage it with badges. I'll never spend my money on this shit

For 2K21, you could fund a new build with 75K - 100K VC to make its overall to 84. It costed you only $20 to get your player (depending on if you already played games with that player before bumping up their overall by grinding) to get to 84 overall. I did that with 4 separate players and just straight grinded them from 84 to 90+. Increasing the VC prices and people still are falling for them is crazy to me.

Imagine, just imagine for a second, that there is no VC, and your player gets the attributes with your play, and training drills, just imagine.. even in FIFA in a career you get stats when scoring goals like if you score 100 goals you will get +3 to finishing, I mean is that really that crazy? Or it just makes sense

Spot on… the dribbling community has ruined 2k since 16. If I did KZfaq content this would’ve been the first video I would make. Keep fighting the good fight sir

Especially since 2k21 and 22 the disparity got so ridiculous between offense and defense that I realized you can’t even in the slightest treat it like IRL defense aka reactionary. I started treating it like how you would treat 50/50s in fighting games (attacks that are too quick to block on reaction so u have to predict them) and it did help. most players are hella predictable and you can force them to bump you. But we need to be rewarded for good defense/bumps.

2K is the poster child for giving you the least but asking the most. They don't even advertise, they watered down My Career (probably didn't want to do the work), and now there's a Battle Pass when they have a $150 version of the game. Bro that's crazy

Love you man, nothing but facts this whole video. From the devs to the community they’re all the problem smh

Literally every single thing in this video spoken was straight up facts. Almost every 2K KZfaqrs will never speak on this shi so it was nice for someone to actually speak the truth. Despite having a 91% win rec & a 67% 3 this yr from playin my own style, I only lost to spam dribblers, speed boosters, & pick spammers. You got a sub bro

you just earned a sub brodie someone with a brain finally making a video and speaking pure facts love to you bro (still buying the game tho 😂😂)

The problem is it's the only basketball game and nobody will collectively agree to not pay and grind together

I love seeing someone calling 2k out great video 🔥I’m sick of 2ks greed and manipulation

I think the decision 2K removes offline Mycareer mode from NBA 2K since 2K20, just destroys what this game should be.

Ngl I found this after it dropped, and I’m low key enjoying it this year but holy shit dawg u funny asf definitely earned my sub👍🏿

This channel is gonna blow up. Just keep doing your thing.

W video you def gonna blow up some day i don't even touch 2k no more because it's so unrealistic o'd rather play ball irl great vid tho keep posting more

Broooooooo!!!! I almost choked on my food watching this shiii, so relatable and accurate asf 😅☠️

LET HIM COOK! Great job breaking it down. I love seeing vids like this because I'm glad it's not just me thinking this.

I've been playing since 2K9, and I'm 20 seconds in.... I LOVE THIS VIDEO! THANK YOU! Movement in this game is like a bunch of Tanks

This was fire..keep Flaming 2k.. you should make a video flaming the monetization and Battlepass BS in detail.. Dudes on twitter showing they spent 1000s of dollars on 2k23 its insane

jeeeeez, cooked the whole community brah :D good shit, love the vid

last year i told people to stop buying the game, the amount of mental gymnastics i got to justify why it doesnt matter could win more olympic medals than the usa and russia and china combined

Thank you so much for me being actual Hooper I've always wanted a realistic basketball game based off of physics and not animation based I have hated Left Right ever since I first seen it it takes no skill and it makes this game so unrealistic to play against other people

Defense being off was exactly how I felt. I grinded 2k15-20 as a kid and hopped on 24 today. Genuinely felt impossible to guard anyone. Another issue is the build gap between an 80 vs 90+. Like u said with a badge countering another if you don’t have that badge it’s actually impossible to win. Miss the 2k17 days when build were 20$ and it took 2-3 hours of my career to get gold badges.

2k defense have been garbage for YEARS. I been saying this for the longest. The defense is running through quicksand and sliding all over the place while the offense has speed boost after speed boost. That's a design choice. It's that way on purpose to make the offense look good. The game is literally designed to make the offense always have an advantage, and they will never fix it because all this community cares about is offense. Every year, all I hear people complain about is dribbling and shooting. People think defense is just steals, which is why you had all these people who just spam square to the point where they basically had to patch on ball steals out of the game. The 2k community doesn't care about playing basketball.

I'm playing 2k22 until the server closes ... I'm getting my money's worth. Great video 💯

great vid bru u gon blow soon 😭😭‼️

What’s funny is Mike Wang was developer for NBA Live 10 some of the most intense defense I’ve ever seen from a game

Haven't played 2k since 2k19. Can't imagine people still play this game.

This vid needs more recognition fr ❤

All facts. Community made this into an arcade game

On Jesus Christ i hate this community lowkey can't even blame 2k

You earned a sub from me because real talk my first time playing NBA was 2k23 and it is the worst multiplayer experience ive ever had purely because id have like an 86 ovr after a 105 hours of grinding and still they would blow past me and just rim run 24/7 or spam to go right or left and eventually id give him space to shoot and he would immediately green it not to mention i did this both on PC and Console the community is ass but the game has insurmountable amounts of potential

Sawced: there’s no community that supports bad game design Madden community: HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF US!!?

All I want is an actual basketball game that feels like an actual basketball game

Nothing but love and respect for a youtuber that tells the TRUTH

Irl when some spaz dribbles, they literally go nowhere and you don’t have to put much effort to keep them in front of you; and then they have little to no energy to take and make a shot, specially anything stepping back or sideways, or at the rim, let alone with any type of contact. It takes a serious shot maker to be able to score, and even then it’s not at a high percentage, and the flip side is they have no energy for defense on the other end. If they could implement that, plus ability to be rewarded for defending correctly, things would even out. Let them spam, but make the penalty hurt them on the defensive side

i knew i wasn't the only one.. that plug kid be clickbait king

Finally, someone complains about defense. Apparently they are removing quick first step and add a badge to help defense keep up. (I don’t believe it would help much) that’s why 1v1 court and 2v2 courts always seemed broken to me and just whoever exploits the game better wins😂 As a person, that plays my team you can tell a person who comes to my team from park and just dribbles his ass off and get mad when your switching cover passing lanes instead of letting him speed boost around my traffic cone of a defender😂

Man earned a sub from just this single vid

2k hast been good since 2k19 waist of money and time

Idk why I keep trying to tell my brother to stop playing this game for the pass 2 years and keep telling him it’s the same shit different year.and he’s always telling me”gotta grind,Gotta get on my grind,grind time”and proceeds to scream and yell when shit fails in the game.the game is a waste of $$$ and with each copy that releases yearly I could put that towards good ass PC upgrades.

This aged well! Worst 2k I’ve ever played

Ight you earned a subscriber😂 shit was funny asl but you keeping it real.

my biggest pet peeves: • 100% smothered, shot goes straight in. • “good shot contest” opposing players shot goes in like i wasn’t playing defense at all

The 2k community is not only toxic, but possibly the dumbest out of all the gaming communities lol. Its why i officially gave up on 2k, it used to be fun and rewarded smart basketball, but everyone wants to be like kobe and kyrie and be the main character. Its honestly annoying.

as a 2k vet since the very first in 99 on Dreamcast...saw this coming in 2k13....played 2k14 which was officially the last one i played....tried to tell ppl since 2k13 but no one wanted to listen....i told you so. i play 2k11 and even though its bad and super scripted...i play 2k12 because of the UBR mod...and to relive all of the history of the NBA and the ABA its worth dealing with the cheese with adjustable sliders to have a lil 2k fun

Totally agree im not getting it until he makes it free like fortnight in order to justify the heavy microtransactions in the game

Best video ever✊🏾new subscriber here

I stopped playing 2k at 2k19 or 20 once mypark was empty af for some reason. I stopped Madden right there as well. The only way to complain is to stop buying the game and make their sales drop.

Eating crayons and not passing 6th grade is lit for 2k community members

Hahaha so true. Defense is always so underpowered… That part of video where the dude with ball didn’t move (probably the controller was laying somewhere) and defender could steal the ball😂😂😂😂

i’d be standing in the paint WIDE OPEN and they will say sum like “the spacing is bad, 5 OUT!” instead of giving me the ball for a wide open standing layup…

Remember when a green shot was supposed to be a garuanteed hit, but not the only way you can hit a shot on 2k? Pepridge farms remembers. Seriously why tf would a 92 rated 3 point shooter miss just because it's half a centimeter away from being green. Also 100% agree defense is a joke. That's why one year I just tried to run the Chino Hills offense on MyTeam.

Subscribed 💯

😂😂😂😂 consider me a new subscriber this video was too accurate and funny 🤣

I promise you I'm not buying nba 2k24

bro speaking facts, still I got somehow my fun in this game by not taking it that serious anymore lol

underrated af

6:09 dude popped up with a hoodie dribbling🤣🤣🤣

exactly why I didn't buy it this year. I bought it last year, like every year before that and ended up playing for like 6 hours. I've been playing every year since 2k16 and love playing as a SF, but if you make a SF and play on line, be ready to be put in C or PF position and never get the ball. All these kids just wanna dribble for 24 seconds and then shoot it from half court. you make any other build than a PG, you'll be stuck playing C position with 4 PG's on your team, all of them want to do the same thing. it's not basketball anymore.

Most people who play the game are kids 4-17 years old. -kids will buy it no matter what. So 2k is treating the game like shit but with more colors and wack prizes to get kids to swipe. -they afraid to hop on spot -they only play with their squads -kids spamming you chat invites to just demand you the ball the whole game -game is overpriced -same trash animations -the park looks terrible -defense is dumb, best defending mechanics were in 16. You were not greening in people faces or shooting crazy fades. That even if you were a 70 overall, Aslong as you stood in front, you had a chance. - why is simple jumping up so slow, or take 2 steps up to even jump. Like why…. And my player is skating while I’m guarding someone forcing me to move over and freeze…

They need to steal NBA lives defense... the controller vibrates on contact and you can feel which direction players are trying to go

Preach!! 2K has been broken for years. It rewards cheap game tactics and a pay to win strategy, rather than sound basketball IQ and dedicated grinding .They have a monopoly on the basketball game industry so they will continue taking advantage of people for years to come.

I'm considered a old head now and i approve this message 🤣🤣🤣

Anybody else notice how its nearly impossible to close out on a perimeter shooter?.....(like your player will literally run in place for a second when you try to close out 😂😂😂)

Bro you're so right the community sucks I hate that I even play it

This video was funny and had great points I agree with. I’m glad people have decided to speak up on how bad and money hungry the game is. Every 2k I’ve given park a try but it is literally brainless gameplay. My main game mode is Myteam but since they ruined that there’s no way in hell I’m going to buy this game. Micro transactions run the game now and it’s really sad.

8:21 had me thinking about pushing in 19😭

Peter n Cleveland were playing Double Dribble 😂🤣

Slowly falling in love with the beautiful game of basketball lately and it just sucks so much that all the nice, awesome stuff i see on the court cant be duplicated ingame. This game doesnt feel like basketball its just awful design, in football we atleast have the Football Manager game (dont even begin about FIFA) which is rly good and gives you an awesome feeling. But there is nothing to compare for basketball, just sad man

Yep I just decided today I’ve retired from 2k officially it’s sad I turned into a career head tryna beat MJ in the goat list I have no desire to play online

I see your name video “is there hope” lol

This man SPITTING!!!!!!!!🤩👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you someone had to say it. The 2k community is ignorant and delusional.

I jumped from 2k14 to 2k16

4:26 I would kill for a new basketball game to come out

Thats why i stopped playing rec....that running back and forth on the 3pt line is trash

Crazy to cause when i use to play i knew this community wss fucked doing 17 when people would ask for more realistic basketball wnd they'd get jumped form 15 different directions I blame the early youtubers making the spam shit popular and making fun of games like nba live and people who want more real basketball

Exactly why I play mycareer on rookie difficulty 🤦‍♂️

Bro why they make the spin move slower

Nah wrd I totally agree with this video, everyone wants to get salty when sum like dribbling gets patched for its op and cheesy ways instead of looking forward to a more realistic basketball game. And at time I find myself hating YT for the fact that everybody makes the same shit whether it’s a drippy lightskin face or the NeWeST COmp BuiLd, it’s taken the creativity out the game so people want to be this one thing and only. I am glad that 2K is fixing the archetypes and def. But at the end of the day I’m a consumer I don’t do the things that this community does I just play. I’m gonna enjoy the game with my friends and take head on the next cheesy moves and continue to be creative making my OWN build and FACE creation.

Dude i sub b/c of ur intro 😂😂😂

I’m so glad I didn’t buy this game yet 😂 My squad fell for the marketing and they’re already spending 100s on their 2nd wave of new builds 😂. I’m a wait until November and HOPE that patches has been made to really make a skill gap.
