It’s been doomed lol since 21.

This 2k24 killed it for me, the scummy ways they manipulate the game to make us spend money really ruined. Aint no way it's changing in 2k25..

All I got to say if you was there for 2k15 2k16 2k17 the golden years you know how great 2k was miss those days 💔

I will never play 2k ever again. I'm retiring from that game that it once use to be fun and playable but not anymore. It has been downhill since 2k18.

What’s sad is somewhere one of these trash ass 2k’s gonna be a kids first 2k and that’s all they’ll know pretty sad

I will never play 2k after this year… the gameplay is alright but everyone including content creators use the same moves, same shot, there is no variety in this game, my team removed auction house to become a casino and WORSE than EA ultimate team. I am having way more fun playing Cyberpunk, single player games, and NBA Live 19 compared to this excuse of a game. NBA Live 19 is better than 2k24 in so many ways, MULTIPLE PARKS like Venice Beach, Chi town park, Seattle, Paris, Brazil, Philippines, and so much more, their career mode is easy to get into, custom season length so you can do full 82 or shorten it if you want, YT animations like Tjass, Bone Collector and the Professor, lit clothing that DOESNT COST MONEY AND YOU CAN GET IT BY PLAYING THE GAME. Shoes do not cost real money and you can buy some cool looking ones by playing some world tour games, and your character gets better THE MORE YOU PLAY, and you cannot use money to instantly make your player better compared to 2k… I hope 2k learns this year and EA embarrasses them. Hope you read this badgeplug ❤

we need to boycott 2k its no way zenners and yearly games and micro transactions its so bad rn omg

At this point 2k should just charge you to play 😂😂 $1 per 1 minute

I’m Not Getting This Game I’m Done With This Company And Community I’m Tired Of Playing With Randoms And Getting Sold I’m Just Done They Don’t Deserve My Money

2k rewards are like when Burger King gave the guy who worked for them for 27 years,a goodie bag. 2k be like, thanks for spending 500 dollars and 600 hours on our game heres a movie ticket, a Starbucks cup, a bag of Reese’s Pieces, two packs of Life Savers, two pens, a lanyard and two keychains.

😂😂they funds gone be low this year cause I ain’t spending until I see greatness deadass

Need NCAA Basketball 💯

I only play 2k when it becomes free every year and i still feel disrespected 😅😂😂

need to make builds cheeper for the games being worse and worse

2k can never be doomed if they don’t have competition.

The season pass for myteam completely went full pay to win as time has went on. Gradually got worse and worse throughout the year. I’m positive they will rev up the pay to win for mycareer next year.

NCAA HERE I COME

Been a hardcore player online park since 2k14 hut have been playing since 2k5. I love the game. The gameplay isn't even that bad. But this year I'm not spending any money. They don't deserve it anymore. Like I legitimately feel disrespected as a consumer. F*** this company. It's crazy how bad they continue to do this community.

I feel like the game just needs to be put into someone else's hands, like if it was controlled by the community, the game would be better bc ik i would get rid of the pro pass, bring grind to legend back, take off the animation mode that we have (the capture thing), bring back 2k20 shooting (not too easy nor difficult), bring back 2k19 dribbling, 2k17 defense, and bringing back og affiliations with a slight rebrand so it can look like a new Gen game (brighter colors, things like that) and I would bring back the park so the game isn't trying to crash, rendering everything, and i finally would drop the build prices a little more like a 99 build should cost only $50 max. Those are my ideas

2k really getting worst and worst every year, making really hard to play

Nobody gonna play 2k bro everyone is going NCAA before touching 2k

I swear people have that on madden too. When I beat people sometimes it disconnects me and gives me the L

Once GTA6 drops it’s over for 2K for at least 5 years.

We got sparking Zero, Undisputed, CFB25, Elden ring DLC just dropped, COD BO6 and a few other games/DLC's. Stop playing this sorry ass game and expand your pallet. They'll eventually make it better if you'll stop caving in every year

Waiting for Black Ops 6 Zombies 😂😂

Yall needa do 2k how we did fortnite. They didnt add back the old map and people stopped playing.

I’m so glad badge plug keeps making these videos because I am praying on 2k’s downfall… 2k just keeps getting worse every year since 17 and the only way they will improve is if we stop buying it

For me it’s a mix of gameplay and business practices. They need to fix server input delay, there should be no reason there is such thing in a multibillion dollar company. EA has no issues so why can’t they do something about it. For business wise micro transactions need to be limited and make VC a grind but how it was for previous games and fix myteam as well. Love myteam but taking out the auction house was a mistake. 2K24 is the last 2K I’m buying until some of these issues get fixed

I've played 2k every year since 2k13. This is the first year where I couldn't play the game for more than a month and a half. I don't see it getting any better either. Debating on even buying 25

IT IS THE GAMEPLAY. THERES NO CONTEST IN THE GAMEPLAY. NO DEFENSE BESIDES SPAMMING

Bro we need a new NBA live for the new year ASAP. 2k really not be hittin the same any more...

It’s cool 2k is gonna be in for a rude awakening when ncca , undisputed & COD come out

I’m tired of playing against 92 overalls that shoot 16/16 in the rec

I just don't see why everybody keeps setting themselves up to get disappointed still

Nah to really think about it though, some people really spend $80+ to get to level 40 every season. That’s like you paying for new game + a dlc every season, but then it ends up being the same things you had last year!

it sucks bc i love basketball i love to hoop, so when you're stuck inside we usually cut on 2k but this game is getting greedy to the point where it's really disappointing man theres gon be some that quit others wont but to us that still play were cooked for years to come until they really fix the game

Damn another year of me not playing 2k sad welp see ya for 2k26

Booting people from games when losing has been a cheat in CoD for 6+ years

Just for the fact that your badges can actually regress is one of the main reasons why I didn't buy 2k24... and u know damn well its gonna be the same on 2k25 as well

Time for GTA 6

Sigh we need to start holding these companies account

61 points on 28/30 is nasty work. I know they not playing no defense but damn that's crazy.

I remember those videos when you suggested this and other ideas that 2k eventually implemented, I also remember you saying that they wouldn't execute it properly and it seems you were right yet again. I been playing other games besides 2k for years and I love 2k. But honestly 2k players right now seem stressed or disgruntled and I get it but Ain't No Way I'm paying all this money on consoles, accessories, internet and more while leaving my entire gaming experience up to 2k, they been dropped the ball

I love the vids

I really wish all the money we spent on clothes or players could be transferred into new games. I think I’ve spent over 1000$ since 2k20 and it’s all gone & I can never use or wear the clothes/players again.

tbh when it comes to the season pass, i just play through it and if i somehow make it to level 40 i consider purchasing the full thing.

Bro this is when I knew something was up. In 2k23 The week when the packs had 12% when everyone got banned, I opened 40+ packs and got 1 opal, that's when I knew the math wasn't mathing

Somebody told me since 2k got a dunk meter they should add a block meter so you can have a better chance to block that 💩 and also they should add a slap button for when mfs sell

Booting some one before losing has been going on forever, that’s not new at all. People used to crash the whole park just to not lose

Been saying this for about 4 years please make a second channel badge just wanna see you play different games cause I know you’re actually a gamer which is rare in the 2k community

madden does the rewards for the next game every year, it’s hard but they don’t make you buy it😭

"We've said that we aim to have recurrent consumer spending opportunities for every title that we put out at this company. It may not always be an online model, it probably won't always be a virtual currency model, but there will be some ability to engage in an ongoing basis with our titles after release across the board...." "That's a sea change in our business. Recurrent consumer spending is 42 percent of our net bookings in the quarter. It's been transformative for us." - CEO Strauss Zelnick, 2017. It's past time to stop being surprised or disappointed in these decisions they make. They've *clearly* said they are committed to it and aren't planning to back off or change. You think is bad? Wait til GTA 6 comes....

One of the biggest things we're missing in today's society is options there were like three or four different basketball games when I was a kid in the 90's, there is one now

Why in the bluest hell would I wanna hoop in boxing clothes? 2K, are y'all on drugs???

I occasionally play some myteam. I don't play online ever. That's where they reach for your pockets. Don't wanna fall in love with mycareer just for them to make it unplayable once the servers shut down on 24

I don’t know if you heard about console rust but they started to cracked down on zens and everything like that. They had a whole ban wave and everything. If 2k follows console rust we might be looking good on the execution of zens and maybe the titan 😮😮.

I am die hard NBA fan, but I can definitely go without playing 2K. The build system in 24 was bad. Then the micro transactions…..like come on. $150 for a build….$20 for gear….$10 for animations….I can’t anymore 🤦🏾‍♂️

Badge my boy!! Still waiting on a collaboration with you! But man I’ve seen so many people who buy the 40 right away and it blows me away. Tbh I can play the game with friends if I lucky enough to get on but lately I have no passion to grind it out and unlock anything. I missed the opportunity to get the jerseys you mentioned because my 12 hour work schedule doesn’t meet the criteria to play this god for saken game. They half release good stuff then they don’t. I’m just ready for a change! I know many miss the old days! My Xbox has a screenshot of me and my boy wearing what we call the jail-bird outfit. It was the orange jumpsuits and we had boots and cowboy hats and everything! Like why can’t it be so simple like it used to be. Sorry to ramble bro i could go on forever if we had a chance to talk. Much love bro I’m blessed to be apart of this community and I love you so much bro I hope life treats you well because you keep the community on your back everyday to give us great content

I really just wish we could get a big enough portion of the 2k community to bandwagon the game. Even 10% of players for just one year would be a big enough for them to make a change. But the biggest part isn’t just players, it’s the ones spending $100+ every season, every week for packs or even every other day for packs.

$90 for game +$175-200 to upgrade myplayer = $265-300 just to play(crazy) +dont forget season pass (more$$$) +u buy boost(s) when u buy boosts you are actually PAYING to play each game thats just one mode(mycareer), other pocket gauging modes myteam...etc 2K robbing ppl with the money revenue streams and then cant fix simple stuff, half of the animated accessories dont work in game if your gonna put boosts in game, should be able to buy boost in between games(without exit in waiting screen)..

The Kareem in the pro pass level 40 is goat and he can play at PG. That’s why a lot of people bought pro pass and skipped.

Live needs to come back at this point

😂can’t wait to see the video about all the stuff today

I haven't played sports games over a decade is a disgrace what they have done to them.

2k11 & 2k12 was the best they run much smoother and feels like you have more control of every move. 2k14 is fun too but the movements just feels mad choppy and not as responsive as 2k11 & 12. 11 Jordan play most like Jordan then any of them to those who are Jordan fans like myself.

I was a daily gamer of 2k up till 24 I bought it but didn’t really play and now I’m satisfied to never play it again unless there’s changes. Getting on that single player game wave.

Bro I miss the old days when the only thing that you had to be mad at was the 2k cover curse

NBA live needs to make a come back. This is their chance, it will force 2k to actually wanna make a good game for us. I want the custom gyms back like in 2k20.

When game developers started putting microtransactions on game features it killed the fun in gaming. You can make your money without being predatory to your consumers.

they really tryna see how little they can give the players for the max amount of money. at this point, their business practices are disturbing.

No preorder from me , and possibly no 2k25 for me as well . I’ll wait and see

Why do I feel like this happens to me on the regular 😂 7:02

When you gotta pay $75 for a new system game now… 2K can’t be putting out this bs like this.

....NOT dommed with A.I. on the cover.

I'm one of the idiots that spent money on 2k24 MyTeam. I've played 2k since 2006. I work hard, I like to spend money on some things sometimes. This is the first game that 2k made clear that want to milk their fanbase as much as possible, with no regard for the future of the franchise. Haven't even turned the game on in 3 months. Seems like the end of an era.

They need to just get rid of seasons, nothing good has came from em. You grind your ass off for level 40 rewards just for them to give you those rewards at a lower level next season.

My favorite 2k news channel keep up the grind badge 💯

They need to stop yearly releases

Can’t believe people are still getting mad at 2k after they do the same thing over and over again

Yes bro , if you have a league with your boys and you’re tying to go far it’ll literally corrupt every single time at the end of may / beginning of June . My boys & I have lost over 10 different leagues it’s insanity.

By the way, those Zens aren't nearly as popular as people make them out to be, or as common. There is an awful lot of people who just like to blame losing on someone else cheating.

The Free-To-Play and Microtransaction gaming models has killed modern gaming, and streaming services have severely damaged the originality of the movie industry. In-Game purchases should be illegal since it's additive to the base product and is usually for inconsquential items like cosmetics or in-game currency

NCAA drop in a couple weeks so Im be off 2k anyway when it drop

2K: We want people to play our games, not hate them! EA Sports: *First time?*

I miss when 2k gameplay wasn’t so crazy in depth. Like they tweak the gameplay to the point that it seems unplayable. Like 2k22 was my favorite everyone could shoot. If you were wide open your green window was bigger. Nowadays I’m scared to shoot wide open because the timing mechanic is horrible. I don’t get mad at dudes missing wide open in the rec neither.

Every year we get this badge. Not surprised. Constant let downs with this game

i hate that this game has turned into a league. Like it's still a video game people. Playing online feels like i'm trying out to play D1 or something

The gameplays fine the ptw is insane and I can't play a single game without lagging Everytime I touch the ball. If they don't fix the lag in 25 I'm never buying another 2k again

As a primary MyTeam player this year was the last game ill buy. I thought they killed the mode last year, and eliminating the AH was the last straw. I held off buying this year's game but most people were positive about the player market, and the game was half off, so I picked up 2K24. Then the "special insert" gamble on garbage started. They have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can't trust this company with your money.

I too am done buying this and thinking it’ll change. I’m very good at this game. Been playing since around 2k7. I’m tired of losing cuz ball hogs wanna put up 40 shots and play no defense on purpose, and the game doing nothing about it. 24 is my last one until (Which I’m sure it won’t).

I used to play my team so much until they got rid of the auction house. Literally pay to win man

The point is 90% of people are complaining about money and the transition bates. But the Game is ok and enjoyable. So at the end you all will play it again and keep whining about paying 500 + $ cauze you are gready and make 4-5 builds minimum every year. Come on!

2k went from pay to win to now pay to lose if they have a Zen and still lose they can kick you. How do you lose with a Zen you won’t miss unless you have no awareness that’s crazy

I’m never touching 2k again

The idea that you're presenting around the minute and a half mark is absolutely genius and if they don't incorporate things like that just shows you how dumb they are like I can't wait for a different basketball game to come out and NBA 2K to die finally

not to mention bugs that have been in game since 2K16. The game is designed with profit in mind first, any development comes last.

0:58 i was so glad bruh missed that dunk

2ks decline is insane :(

They wanted a open world game style so bad just let people hoop😭

I have given up on this franchise as a whole. They never cared about the community.
