Idk if it was a glitch or what but def got rep boost like a mf

2k hosing me

Did they make shooting easier?

#

Never forgiving my cousin for telling me to join elite, he said everyone went elite last year so thats the best one to join lol

round hinge
#

I just went elite because last year it had play n shooting boosts n I didnt see anything about boosts this year but figured I would in case

next sierra
#

Open shot consistency is much better

round hinge
#

Yeah open shots specifically feel much more consistent

#

Got a 73 three n I'm something in the low 50s from 3 in Rec this szn

#

Last szn I think I ended at 41%

turbid ermine
#

I feel like it got worse in some cases. Im currently shooting 62% but some games i literally cant make shots. Like when 2k wants me to have a bad game its nothing you can do. Bad catch after bad catch.

round hinge
#

Could just be everybody having more repetition in their jumpers nkw

#

Catch animations are the only thing that seem to make me miss

turbid ermine
#

Pre patch i was 52% so idk, it may balance out

round hinge
#

If I get the stutter step or the stiff leg or something stupid but it feels like if you get a normal catch animation the jumpers are really consistent now

round hinge
bright venture
#

even dribble pullups arent consistent they change every time thats the only time i miss

opal panther
#

Is this build good?

round hinge
#

It's definitely not bad

opal panther
#

Would you take standing dunk down to 81 for some driving dunk?

#

Nah not worth

round hinge
#

Worth it for animations but find something else to take down

opal panther
#

For what

round hinge
#

Get yourself a 75 driving dunk for Dwight Howard n other dunk packages

opal panther
#

Alright

#

2k what the actual hell are you doing. 3 games in a Row booted for no reason…

#

I think its 75 lemme check before I give you wrong info

#

Other than that tho it all comes down to how you wanna play

#

These youtubers can have the best build in the game but its only the best build in the game because they know how to use it

#

Does 87 post control specifically get you any badges?

The reason 2k is terrible is because it has monopolized the basketball game market so whatever game they drop people will buy since theres no competition

Don’t play it if you don’t like it, but whining abt it in a discord for the 2k community is just idiotic

# patent sonnet Or don’t play matchmaking?

What am I gonna play then. Mycareer!?!?? In key games they removed the sim by 25 in the 3rd quarter and made it so you have to wait til the 4th to sim. If you think I’m gonna play that any longer I have to ur sadly mistaken

Serious Question:

Left Stick dribblers, why do you not dribble with the right stick? I see players with 80+ ball handle not using the right stick at all.
Like I'm actually curious whats the thing the with the left stick? Cause most of the times it doesn't work so why still stay dribbling like that?

Recent patch ruined rhythm shooting and NBA 2K25 overall. The game was better before. They buffed square shooting but left the contest system non existent so everyone just jacks mindless shots until they drop. THE DEFENSE DOES NOT MATTER. Shits unplayable.

I'm definitely aiming for Legend 1, I'm not gonna hit legend before other people or anything but I will get there eventually, I'm already at Starter 3 95%

you really have to do a lot to get there

Buff defense.

the way my games go is pretty funny. nobody on my team can score besides me, i go 8/8... miss 1, dont get the ball for an entire qtr cuz i missed one and they keep missing and eventually the ball comes back to me and the game is outta reach

# shut jetty If you're a guard.

Rn I’m shooting 50 percent on 76 three 6’6 sg through 12 games. Ik that’s a small volume amount but it feels much better shooting than last season for me

# shut jetty I just want defense to work.

defense is so bad but i've been having way more success getting around screens and not sliding by only using L2 when im trying to gut bumpy with the ball handler and trying to just tap it instead of holding it, and also breaking the habit of holding RS up too much

the only thing for me when it comes to jumpshots is mine seem to be so inconsistent when pulling up... its either really fast or REALLY slow and it throws off my timing hard

and not just normal jumpshots, dribble pullups and post fades

# shut jetty 7'1

Someone told me shooting on a big felt better than guard shooting. I wasn’t sure about that statement tho

@dark prism its cuz shooting with guards is fast

and thats intentional

Idk. Whatever changes they made, they made things worse.

letting go is the worst animation tbh

depends on ur pull up package tbh

it just reminded me the most of kobes and they locked that

All they needed to do was slightly buff interior d and the game would have been great.

coming from a person who has played this game competitively since 2k17, 2k is by far one of the worst games if not thee worst to play competitively. Everything in the game is RNG based and most of everything in the game is chalked up to percentage. 2K game developers try their absolute best to make the game 50/50 no matter skill level. The game has an amazing concept that honestly surpasses any game on the market, but its incredibly casual and skill discrepancy is barely noticeable unless you're exploiting something like close shot rhythm fades like in season 1. for all the sweaty gamers out there that really put in the hours such as myself, don't expect to find something consistent in the game. almost every single facet of this game is

#

RNG

@mental token I can’t afford 25

I found it for 55$

so it was worth it

I spent like $110

I just got the default version (USD) on a site

aka not on Steam

bright venture

ahh gotcha

knotty mist

@flat salmon i enjoy this game so much more since i stopped taking it so seriously like i did a few years ago

mental token

but yeah well worth it

#

it's still a Steam key so

#

no difference

knotty mist
#

pre patch at least, this was probably my favorite 2k gameplay in a long time

mental token
bright venture
#

did they nerf post fades or something this patch ?

#

or am i just washed up

mental token

seems harder

knotty mist

they overcorrected a bunch of stuff in this patch but i expect itll go back to somewhere in the middle in the next patch

im like hitting 1/3 post fades now that was my guaranteed go-to!!

@mental token pre patch the biggest problems were interior D, real player % layups, rhythm post fades, bump steals off of rebounds/ catches, and superman steal animations. literally cant believe people were complaining about shooting more than anything lmfao

bruh i was shooting 59% from 3 with an 83 3pt on a guard before the patch @shut jetty

#

i made a new build with an 85 3pt and since patch im at 70% this buff was so unnecessary

#

idk

#

still liking the gameplay despite its problems

autumn dome

still don’t understand going 4/6 and then 0/7 next game

shut jetty

Just tell me this. As interior d ever been tweaked?

autumn dome

knotty mist
#

@shut jetty this year? or mid year in other 2k's?

shut jetty
#

In general?

knotty mist
#

i dont think they did anthying to interior D this year, i think they usually don't make too many changes to that aspect of the gameplay

shut jetty
#

So basically, I'm gonna be grabbing my random guards bricks while on defense my forehead becomes a runway?

#

Whilst that same random guard tries defend with bronze perimeter defense badges.

mental token
knotty mist
#

@mental token people found out they weren't as good as they thought they were and everyone lost their minds

#

like this game actually SOMEWHAT resembles basketball in some areas of gameplay now and people are devastated that they cant spam the same moves dancing around screens every single possession

#

like bro this game is SO much better when every possession of every single game doesn't feel the EXACT same as the one before

I will say, at least they're trying to listen to the community more this year. The problem is that they listened to the wrong people when they buffed shooting.

the wrong people are the loudest I guess

I will give them credit tho

This is so far the best 2k for next gen consoles

Idk wtf they doing with gravity ball but overall the gameplay is the best it’s been in years

mental token

oh yeah, and the fact that that coincides with the first 2K on PC to get next gen is a massive upgrade

And like I've noticed FAR less cheaters on PC than any year in the past

You can fr build a pure lock but you will never be able to guard the left right screen

you can't

If a guard can just left right and get open and shoot on you it’s cause they can do it and you can’t stop it, that’s a you problem, they’re just cheesing you lacking
