[vivid apex]

I don’t want to be getting steals with my behind all year

[onyx geyser]

😭

[light forge]

25 I had 13 steals by lane steals alone

[hexed nymph]

ian hearing actually have to defend or steals are better not ian hearing it bc i know when we all go to play we getting hit w 2 patch notes before the game even releases

[onyx geyser]

Fr ppl don’t know how to pass 😭

[vivid apex]

lol we need 24 defense back

[onyx geyser]

Fr

[hexed nymph]

or 19

[vivid apex]

Yes

[onyx geyser]

Defense in 25 was ahh wit a guard 🤦‍♂️

[vivid apex]

I agree

[hexed nymph]

other than the pushing in 19, 19 was the best 2k oat imo

it had other bugs too ofc but it made it fun

[onyx geyser]

2k22 was the best most recent 2k

[vivid apex]

Like why give us the best defense and take it away the next year right stick ripper 94 feet

[hexed nymph]

like being able to be a 60 ovr w all hof badges 99 everything that was lit

[vivid apex]

Lmfao take gloves

Glove away

Give right stick ripper back

[hexed nymph]

they didnt like that

bc beginning 24 they patches steals 4 times

and still wasnt where they wanted it

[vivid apex]

Now we steal with our behinds lol can’t say but is crazy

[light forge]

I just wana know does it make sense to have a 96 steal this year

[simple sentinel]

Nothing makes sense

[remote kelp]

Tbh it really doesn't matter the rsting

It depends on the situation

Cause I've gotten steals with dudes that have 36 steal

[light forge]

If there’s no lane steals imma just have a high perimeter

[simple sentinel]

Yes it does

[onyx geyser]

Messi and LeBron are the goats of their sports

Idc

[remote kelp]

Higher rating makes it easier

[hexed nymph]

i dont like the builder i like dual archs better

[remote kelp]

But you can still pull it off consistently with a low rating

[obsidian zodiac]

@proper plover u better not make a game the same as 2k25

[simple sentinel]

I dont know if youve tried stealing wit a low steal

[light forge]

25 was prob the worse game ever

[hexed nymph]

like something about being called a sharpshooting defender or seeing pure rim protector just makes the game feel right

[simple sentinel]

U get stuck inna animation for 74 business days

[vivid saffron]

we on battlefield 6

[onyx geyser]

When does my career trailer drop?

[hexed nymph]

marvel rivals for me

[remote kelp]

Wdym

[onyx geyser]

Ahh

[light forge]

2 way sharp imma def make

[vivid saffron]

I’m making a Hali Lamelo build

[hexed nymph]

it sucks tho bc build names now mean nothing

[simple sentinel]

I got a build with low steal and i genuinely have never gotten a steal

Plus if i press square/x i get stuck inna ani

Annoying

[light forge]

True but defense and shooting all I need

[simple sentinel]

God i hate this cover

[onyx geyser]

Why are there two horfords on the cover

Lmao

[unreal sigil]

@proper plover Yo brodie

[unreal sigil]

Whose birthday is it in here?

[simple sentinel]

?

Fk kinda question

Im sayin

[onyx saddle]

Hey i don't watch basketball but i like the video game, i play myleague And i own 2k24. I want to make the goat Austin Reaves the goat. How do i get him to dunk every time??

[left pond]

will the idiots shut up about rebounding now?

[novel rivet]

lol nah people will always find a way to complain

[obtuse breach]

What’s wrong with that?

[onyx saddle]

𝙳𝚘 𝚒 𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚒𝚝 𝚊 𝚌𝚎𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚠𝚊𝚢? 𝙿𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚘𝚠𝚗 𝚘𝚛 𝚚𝚞𝚎?

[novel rivet]

Bro typing in serif font

[onyx saddle]

I apologize for the font

im so used to it, hows everyone doing?

[left pond]

theyre quite literally complaining about 2K telling us how to time rebounds for the first time ever its such a dumb complaint lol

[grave flame]

It should be like this but there shouldn’t be a meter for rebounding it’s stupid

[left pond]

there's no meter for rebounds its just giving you feedback on how you timed your rebound

[onyx saddle]

will you guys try 2k the football ⚽️ game? I know its a basketball server so i apologize

[novel rivet]

Oh yeah I understand that, people just complain about literally everything no matter what

[obtuse breach]

It can help with timing

You can learn when to jump and that stuff

[left pond]

rebounding has not changed bruh its literally just giving helpful feedback now

[grave flame]

I feel that but just jump and try to grab

[novel rivet]

It’s literally the same rebounding mechanics my guy they just added an indicator so you know if you jumped at the right time or not

[grave flame]

Okay so what if we turn the meter off do we get a significant boost like we do with shooting?

[novel rivet]

💀💀💀 there’s no rebound meter

[left pond]

did the 2K community stop going to school after 8th grade wtf is this

[novel rivet]

Prolly a bunch of covid kids

[left pond]

timing has ALWAYS mattered in rebounding literally forever

[grave flame]

Ima have to see when the game comes out

I’m not asking questions no more

[left pond]

does austin reaves even have an 80 driving dunk lol

gotta be like a 70 flat, no?

if even that

[remote kelp]

Bro you have always had to time the rebound and like Wang said, it is just to help players.

Like god

[solar kelp]

🔥

[left pond]

this is what happens to people's brains when they left right left right and shoot with square

[remote kelp]

People are genuinely stupid

[simple sentinel]

Damn yall chill out

😭😭😭

[remote kelp]

I'll give 2K props cause they actually trying to give us what we want

We still got people complaining

Should've been done what we asked but it's better than 25

[left pond]

there are plenty of stuff they are adding that weren't in the best 2Ks that should've been in the best 2Ks i will say that much

[remote kelp]

Ong

Like people say "Its the same game every year"

But then say they want this back from this game

Like this community has no brain cells

[left pond]

they want "arcade"

genuinely melted brains

[left pond]

and nothing else like they wont elaborate they just want "arcade"

[left pond]

they're mentally incapable of elaborating

besides maybe a couple of buzzwords sometimes

[wet verge]

Like??????

We didnt ask for rng

Didnt ask for pro play

[remote kelp]

Like personally I'm going to give this a chance

[wet verge]

The city cool

[remote kelp]

Jesus bro do you want the same game?

[left pond]

yet literally everyone uses it

[remote kelp]

They removed it right?

[wet verge]

No i want a arcade 2k

Not a pro play 2k

[remote kelp]

Pro Play is fine

Rng is gone so it will be even better

[left pond]

ur flicking your stick too fast or slow or try a different start-time for the flick altogether

[remote kelp]

You are either doing it too slow or fast

[left pond]

just remembered (ignore plate im literally averaging an A teammate grade sometimes random rec teammates just sell you 12 games in a row)

[left pond]

btw, you could flick your stick slower if your start your flick early or let the flick become faster if you start your flick late

[still turret]

im just slow

[remote kelp]

Just keep practicing

Cause if rng is gone

Rhythm shooting will be meta

[left pond]

if rng is gone they need to make the green window far smaller

[still turret]

quality buns what the

240p

[left pond]

thats your wifi

[still turret]

nah it just looked chopped at first

had to look closer

[remote kelp]

Yeah cause people will be going 17/17

[pine python]

def should be smaller, there has to be a risk to using this shot

[left pond]

??? only about a dozen players can no dip in the entire league bruh what

[left pond]

they already do lol with zens im entirely certain there already isn't rng in the game

[remote kelp]

If they do that people will be saying it's too hard

[pine python]

exactly, it shouldn’t be too easy to hit it

[left pond]

it should be reserved for high three point ratings as well

[still turret]

am i right

[pine python]

them going for a skill gap was like 50% of the reveal

lmao

[left pond]

bums just shouldnt no dip, simple.

[still turret]

their marketing team working overtime

[remote kelp]

It should be smaller but they're trying to make these features easy to use

So then people will feel the "arcade"

Or whatever they want ig

[wet verge]

U might have a misconception of “arcade 2k”

[left pond]

i couldn't name 5 players that could no dip tbh

[left pond]

klay thompson, keegan murray, mikal bridges,

[left pond]

joe ingles,

[remote kelp]

I think Steph can do it

[left pond]

bojan bogdanovic

ive never seen him do it

[remote kelp]

Wouldn't be crazy to say he could

[left pond]

you have to be standing still to do it anyway and he is a movement shooter

[remote kelp]

He's not a catch and shoot tho

[left pond]

not a corner sitter

[left pond]

i mean he is but not off static sets

[remote kelp]

Yeah nah he moves around

They should make it smaller tho

But ay it's fine

[obtuse breach]

No dip shot is gonna be broken

[left pond]

hes too short to really be sat in the corner no dipping tbh

[pine python]

arcade 2K doesn’t mean make the game easy, it’s quite the opposite

[left pond]

no dipping is really for wings and up

[static glade]

So did they confirm speedboost basically?

[wet verge]

What i was implying.

[remote kelp]

Yeah

[pine python]

I was agreeing with u cuh, relax

[static glade]

[wet verge]

😘

[remote kelp]

Well no one has yet to elaborate what they mean by "arcade"

[left pond]

d'angelo russell. rare short no dipper

[left pond]

they wanna dribble like anime characters and have a 1 inch green window and backflip on every jumpshot and dunk from the free throw line with 80 driving

and dropstep from the nail

[unreal sigil]

Yo

[wet verge]

U fs peaked in pro play 2ks

[left pond]

Anything before pro play i can guarantee u had less than a 45 wp%

[left pond]

i dont think you have an eye for men, he doesn't look bad here.

[wet verge]

[remote kelp]

Tbh idm pro play

[left pond]

[remote kelp]

It's fine and I can live with it now more that I don't have to worry abt rng

[wet verge]

To each their own opinion. Then theres people like zo who call people bums for wanting arcade 2ks 😭😭

when he quite literally is the target audience

[left pond]

if you want arcade so bad go play mario hoops 3-on-3

[remote kelp]

Bc how do yall want the same game but complain it's the same game

[wet verge]

If u want realistic hoops go irl big boy

or u inside all day?

[left pond]

im not a boy

[gloomy thicket]

[wet verge]

Thats everyone else

[unreal sigil]

Rise up young fellas

[simple sentinel]

????

[onyx geyser]

?

[lucid jackal]

@left pond chillax bro its good vibes

[onyx geyser]

Like what’s that about ?

[proper edge]

Guys who hate proplay are just idiots man

[left pond]

@wet verge ur only clip is you watching someone make a yellow

[proper edge]

You clearly don't know what you're talking about

[wet verge]

Nice oneeeeee

U got me there

[left pond]

they literally use pro play animations lol

[proper edge]

So?

The issue isn't in The animation

It's in the speedboost

😭

[left pond]

im saying they are complaining about stuff they use

[proper edge]

This drivbli g has been the same since 22

Size up left right

22 had no proplay

Guys just find any way to complain

[wet verge]

Wasnt a fan of 22

Never said anything about 22

[left pond]

i was a demon in 22

[proper edge]

Noone is but proplay isnt the issue

It's the speedboost

[wet verge]

Pro play is the issue

[fair geyser]

🧢

[wet verge]

Can u momentum now?

alot of moved that werent realistic

[left pond]

i have media up lol

[proper edge]

Dude noone cares about momentum.. it hasn't been a good move since 21

[wet verge]

Has been removed purely to pro play

[wet verge]

Peaked in pro play

[proper edge]

?

Dude noone really cares about momentum its not 21

[left pond]

everyone wanna left right and spam but like thats easy plucks

[proper edge]

Leave this bubble youre in

The game isnt just momentuming

[left pond]

just take out speed boosting lol people would turn the ball over less

[proper edge]

The dribblings good its just the lack of animations and bad speedboost

Builds can barely drivble without darius garlands style

[left pond]

speak for yourself

[wet verge]

Dribbling this year is prolly the worst whatttt

Whattttttttt

Do u play stage?

Do u see what the guards spam

Or we just not on the same game

[proper edge]

Nothings bad about it except the lack of animations and speedboost

Have you read what I said?

I don't think it's the best

[left pond]

arcade heads cant read lol

[proper edge]

But it's not horrible

[proper edge]

Dude stage is probably the least skilled mode

Everyone now is a child with an ego

[wet verge]

🤦‍♂️

[proper edge]

21 stages were good competition

[wet verge]

🤦‍♂️

[wet verge]

This i xan agree

[proper edge]

After they added the 500 court everyone was in the stage

[wet verge]

All childish temper tantrums throwing kids

[fallen jackal]

26 sounding good so far

[proper edge]

theres 0 competition bro

In theater you can find better players

Due to

The hof thing

[wet verge]

Im ngl bro 😭😭😭

Come wager me plz

Id love to wipe the floor on ur fav pro play 2k

[proper edge]

Its august btw

[left pond]

you dont even have clips you really dont want to try me

[proper edge]

Run the wager on 26

I wanna watch

[left pond]

id demolish your 5'9 with my guard

[proper edge]

5'9s are good

[wet verge]

😭😭😭😭😭 im gonna fry the soul out this rec player maneeeeee

[proper edge]

Short guards the meta

[left pond]

yeah if you like annoying your teammates maybe

[proper edge]

No

Cause

Locks cant contest anyway

Defense is bad this year

Its sacrificing height for

Faster speed

And a bit more contest

[left pond]

what are your averages tho?

[proper edge]

• noone really plays 5'9s outside of guard locks and big lineup

[proper edge]

I don't have my ps5 with me im at my moms house but i have a 70% win with 10 points ppg

[left pond]

im not a threes player its not pure basketball

i'd rather play threes outside

[proper edge]

I don't play 3s either

2k is more about the fun

2s is better

[left pond]

you average 10 points on what mode

[unkempt eagle]

yall is the limited time shop gonna update today?

[left pond]

if not 3s

[proper edge]

Just the city

Dont play rec

[left pond]

oh ok

[fast wagon]

Are there still differences in latenz between ps5 and xbox?

[left pond]

why wouldn't there be

[fast wagon]

To make it fair?😂

[left pond]

fundamentally different hardware

[unreal sigil]

Good vibes yall

How many of y’all’s women be shopping?

[left pond]

[unreal sigil]

[unkempt eagle]

[unkempt eagle]

[left pond]

[unkempt eagle]

😹😹

just wanted to make a new fit

[left pond]

cute

[hard niche]

🚫 enkizor., you need to wait 7 hours 37 minutes to use that command again.

[left pond]

i wish i could wear a maid outfit in the city

that would be gas

[golden quail]

Yall think taller iso builds will be meta this year?

[languid rapids]

All YALL buying 2k26 on YOUR SOUL

[left pond]

one would hope there is no meta lol

[unkempt eagle]

i am styll

[half merlin]

Xbox is more responsive supposedly

[unkempt eagle]

dayum

kinda dumb

[languid rapids]

That’s not true

[unkempt eagle]

if 2k was cross progression i would buy it on my xbox

[languid rapids]

I’ve played 2k on both

I was way worse on Xbox

💀

[half merlin]

You didnt notice any difference at all?

[unkempt eagle]

yuh u probably use to ps5

[wet verge]

Taller builds in general gonna be meta in 26

No love for small guards 💔💔💔💔

[left pond]

what ppl are talking about is wired controllers which are more common on xbox

[half merlin]

Wired doesn't make it better eitgher

[left pond]

it objectively does lol

[languid rapids]

everytime they show “love” to small guards all y’all do is run around the court like flash and shoot from space

[wet verge]

I miss it mannnnnnn

[languid rapids]

Small guards have 0 skill

[wet verge]

Take me back

[half merlin]

But not practically lol

[wet verge]

Miss frying people

[languid rapids]

Nahhh

Oh

ISO is the best way to play

[left pond]

small guards are just brainless idiots who want to not pass or play defense and just shoot

[wet verge]

Damn why everyone hate small guards

[left pond]

5'9 with 71 pass acc 😂✌🏽

[nimble aspen]

someone can say it finally

[languid rapids]

Cause they suck

Meta players all suck

[nimble aspen]

same with the 7’3 bums

[wet verge]

Meta is footers maneeee

Might just be diff playstyles

[left pond]

i eat 7'3s for breakfast

[quartz sphinx]

How many did you eat this morning?

[wet verge]

😭😭

[left pond]

like 6, 7

[nimble aspen]

99 strength 99 off and def rebound and 0 shooting like bro

[left pond]

the 0 shooting is what makes them food

thats why they average 6/16/4 while i average 24/16/6

[languid rapids]

Not if they have vertical

They just gonna get every rebound for the 5’9 with 99 speed and agility

And never shoot the ball

[left pond]

sounds like a 2s court problem

[languid rapids]

Or dunk

[languid rapids]

That’s exactly what it is

[nimble aspen]

yes bro it is

[left pond]

2s are for slave bigs and their master pg

[rich igloo]

W

[left pond]

have fun with that lol

[languid rapids]

They finally brought the chair back but that also means they bringing post scorers back the 1s court is FRIES

[pine python]

People elaborate on it quite literally all the time, people just want more fluid dribbling/movement and a consistent jumpshot timing. That is quite literally what 99% of them mean by “arcade”

[languid rapids]

All it’s gonna be is bald centers with tattoos backing people down

[left pond]

imagine preordering a 2K game

[languid rapids]

“Arcade” means we want a video game

Not a nba copy

[left pond]

i gotta see at least a month of gameplay before i decide to buy lol

[languid rapids]

If I wanna play real basketball all the time I can jus go to a park or gym

[left pond]

figures, ur name is zenni

[languid rapids]

Arcade is every 2k before 23 next gen

And 23 next gen wasn’t bad

[left pond]

[languid rapids]

24 is okay

25 is garbage

[left pond]

i recommend this for people who want arcade basketball

[languid rapids]

Tbh 2k24

Was arcade

It was actually fluent

[golden dust]

yo for the flashy and self alley can we all fight to fix that

they want us to break our hand or sum

[languid rapids]

It’s not that hard to press 2 buttons at the same time Unc

[golden dust]

gang

you have a controller with u?

they should make it like
ufc

[languid rapids]

Yea

why would they do tha

😭

[golden dust]

so i don’t have to use 2 of my fingers

[left pond]

they just replaced self alley with flashy (controls wise) its not a big deal

[golden dust]

um it’s easier

[languid rapids]

U don’t?

[golden dust]

u do

[languid rapids]

Dawg

[left pond]

you can do that with your thumb bruh

[golden dust]

okay so click square and triangle wit 1 finger

[languid rapids]

Exactly just use ur thumb

💀

[golden dust]

is there a media or smth

[languid rapids]

Ur thumb can press them both at the same time

[golden dust]

your not understanding what i’m saying no u can’t

[languid rapids]

Dawg WE ALL do it

[wet verge]

😭😭

[left pond]

im literally doing it rn

[golden dust]

it’s not effective lmao

[languid rapids]

It is effective

It takes no effort

[golden dust]

Press square and triangle wit 1 finger

[left pond]

you dont even have to bend your thumb

[golden dust]

show me

[languid rapids]

NAH FR😭

[golden dust]

dms

rn

your not understanding what i’m saying

[languid rapids]

Dawg why are u pressing square and triangle

[quartz sphinx]

Wait that’s hard? Did you play Eddie on Tekken?

[left pond]

not even bending my thunb lol

[golden dust]

show me triangle square

[left pond]

its the same concept????

[golden dust]

without pressing other buttons pls

no it’s not

[left pond]

idiot

[golden dust]

x and circle only works cause it’s on the outer side of the button

[quartz sphinx]

Nvm get paddles

[golden dust]

u can’t do that wit square triangle

[languid rapids]

There’s nothing that u need square and triangle for

[left pond]

idiot

[fair geyser]

Zo why you always arguing with people lil homie

[golden dust]

now press square and x look how easier it is

and then show triangle and circle

it’s easier and effective

[languid rapids]

Dawg u don’t need to press square and triangle for anything tho

[left pond]

its really not that much easier

[languid rapids]

So what are u on abt

[golden dust]

ufc binds

i’m showing you it’s a easier way they should change that

[languid rapids]

What does that have to do with 2k😭

[golden dust]

it’s a suggestion

[left pond]

in fact i need MORE of my thumb to do it

[languid rapids]

U press x and o for self lob

[golden dust]

make it easier to press

without have to accurately move your thumb to make sure you press tho

[languid rapids]

Bro u don’t have to move it

😭

Cause u don’t have to press square and triangle

[golden dust]

mid game your not gonna hit square and triangle without accident hitting circle or x

[languid rapids]

BRO

[golden dust]

um

who’s gonna tell him

[left pond]

there are literally dozens of other things to do other than self lob and flashy pass and youre asking for an already easy control to replace something more commonly used

[golden dust]

#📖2k26-answers message

[languid rapids]

Oh

[golden dust]

Yes it’s easier

[languid rapids]

Well u can still press it

[golden dust]

your not understanding

gang barely

ur gonna accidentally hit circle or x

[languid rapids]

No

[left pond]

maybe if im obese like you

[golden dust]

not everyone has a skinny thumb

[languid rapids]

I mean

That’s not the games fault

[golden dust]

obese ≠ big hands

[quartz sphinx]

Yup that’s why my gf likes me

[left pond]

hit the gym, go play basketball outside like i do

[languid rapids]

If ur thumbs are big

[left pond]

i have 9 inch hands lol

[golden dust]

look at gianni’s thumb

u glazer

2k can easily do that simple change

ngl

[left pond]

yeah his thumb is skinny and long meaning he'd have an easy time doing flashy passes

[golden dust]

it’s just button remapping

[left pond]

alright. what should flashy pass be then?

oh wise one

[golden dust]

circle triangle flashy pass and square x self lob

[simple sentinel]

Steve nash and chris paul, must see tv

[left pond]

circle triangle is pass fake, idiot

square x is jump pass, idiot

two things that are done WAY MORE than flashy passes and self lobs

[golden dust]

gang

you only jump pass if you do it separately

not at the same time

[left pond]

bro just exposed himself as a non passer

[quartz sphinx]

That’s one way, more of a bailout than a jump pass

[simple sentinel]

😂😂??

[left pond]

there are jump passes and there are bailouts you bumbling imbecile

[golden dust]

and if that’s the case they can put those as those options cause people barley do that

[fringe cradle]

yo is istant green animation coming back

[golden dust]

and me not knowing that jus proves it

[left pond]

you think that because you dont pass

[golden dust]

i do lol

[left pond]

it only proves you dont pass

[languid rapids]

Yea

[wet verge]

I just got called screen made 😞

[golden dust]

i do

nobody even knows jump passes exist ngl

[wet verge]

What more can i do as a 5’9 always going against 6’4+ 😞

[golden dust]

i’ve never seen a jump pass not once in my entire time on this game

[left pond]

anyone who averages more than 3 assists knows what a jump pass is

[simple sentinel]

Its august

[left pond]

its one of the best passes in the game

[golden dust]

i avg more than 3 so?

[left pond]

prove it

[quartz sphinx]

I get what you’re saying but Zo is right, a self lob is less common in a basketball game so it makes sense to change the input.

[golden dust]

i don’t have pic perms

[rich igloo]

Slightly?

[simple sentinel]

Ion like that word slightly

[rich igloo]

Is it gonna be 23 again

[golden dust]

how do yah even have pic perms

[simple sentinel]

How slightly we talkin

[golden dust]

nvm

[golden quail]

What build r yall makin

[rich igloo]

Tall guard

[golden dust]

a bigman

[simple sentinel]

Im makin a slasher ngl

[left pond]

how can you get what he's saying he is making zero good points and exposing himself as a bad passer

[simple sentinel]

I just be doin the same shi erry 2k

[junior rivet]

Im making a slasher

[simple sentinel]

This year imma make a slasher

[rich igloo]

I lowkey wanna make a build that is crazy in the post

Bruh settle down

[rich igloo]

Like a 6’8 forward crazy in the post

[simple sentinel]

Beefin wit the whole server

Turn off ya device mane

Chill

[rich igloo]

Fr

[junior rivet]

Are builds going to be $20

[left pond]

ahhh you only throw outlets thats why

[simple sentinel]

😂

[junior rivet]

What

[solid trout]

Have a couple options in mind. Gotta see the builder to see how feasible they are though

[simple sentinel]

Sorry to break it to you buddy

[languid rapids]

Do pigs fly ahh question

[simple sentinel]

But this 2k

[golden dust]

i play guard

[quartz sphinx]

He just wants to be able to spam self lobs w/o making a jump pass lol

[junior rivet]

Bro I see on tiktok ppl are saying builds are going to be $20

[simple sentinel]

What u think wld happen if they made it 20$

[golden dust]

i’ll hop in a rec game just to show my apg

[simple sentinel]

Errybody a 99 day one

Lmao

Well not 99

[left pond]

oh thats 8 assists not rebounds?

[simple sentinel]

But yfm

Aint gon be 20$ it neva was anyway

[golden dust]

that is rebound but they add both up

in game is only accurate

[junior rivet]

Hopefully its not $200 tho

[golden dust]

ima show u

[left pond]

you average 3.6 assists on a guard? 😭

[rich igloo]

It will be the exact same amount to make
A build

[golden dust]

hold up

[golden quail]

What yall thinking bout 6’5 iso guard this year?

[left pond]

higher than the average 2K guard i guess 😂✌🏽

[rich igloo]

Bro is it really that important to
You

[golden dust]

@left pond

[rich igloo]

Like what do you actually wanna gain from this

[tiny spindle]

yikes 3.6 assists as pg is not good at all

[golden dust]

i have 3 builds one big one lock and one lebron type build

[left pond]

ight thats pretty good. jump passing would get you to 7 assists per game tho

[golden quail]

What yall thinking bout 6’5 iso guard this year?

[rich igloo]

Who cares

[rich igloo]

Depends on the sigs

[rich igloo]

Acting like it’s real life

[quartz sphinx]

I just hope we get all the tall guard animations at launch.

[golden quail]

Fr bru

[languid rapids]

5 assist in 4 quarters

[left pond]

6

and also thats pretty good for a 2K guard

[simple sentinel]

Bro has elite ever won

A single season

[languid rapids]

They should stop making people wait for animations and add something else each season

[left pond]

legitimately? no

[simple sentinel]

Wdym legitimately

[left pond]

i'd be legend rn if 2K didn't give elite fake wins

[languid rapids]

2k gave them free wins

[golden quail]

Rise or elite this year boys?

[simple sentinel]

Bruh

😭😭✌🏾

[golden dust]

can’t control the ppl i pass to to make

[left pond]

whichever park is less old-timey

[languid rapids]

All elite players wouldn’t even be Vet if they didn’t give them wins

[simple sentinel]

Yall is 2k on pc that bad ?

Or

[left pond]

its their fault they chose the old-timey park why do i have to miss out on rep for their decision

garbage franchise

[simple sentinel]

Ngl im picking what the people pickin yall can catch me in da pro am n rec

Am i trippin

Or did that dude delete his message

[quartz sphinx]

I did but I haven’t played 2k on Pc so I shouldn’t really comment on it.

[simple sentinel]

Wrd alr

[mystic venture]

yall know when nba 2k26 will come to xbox or sum

[golden dust]

september 20

[mystic venture]

like gamepass

and cloud gaming i meant

[fleet sundial]

[onyx geyser]

Bro

[buoyant ginkgo]

this weeks track is impossible bro

[timber magnet]

Any news about respec option? 😂

[dapper jay]

Thank god bro I hated how you could js turn sideways and click the steal button then 9/10 its a steal

[fair geyser]

Who else is tired of garbage pgs getting 7 bumps steals and thinking they’re good at defense?

[swift torrent]

unpopular opinion: The sunset and etc events arent that good. Everybody L2 cheese and the movement feel so iffy in there

[dapper jay]

My friend once sent me a vid of him getting 23 steals in a game and it was js straight bump steals

[rich igloo]

Locks gonna be crazy this year

[remote kelp]

That's good bc they should be rewarded for focusing their build on defense

[rich igloo]

I agree but I hope it’s balanced

Not just spamming steal and getting it

[remote kelp]

And it makes other players think actually when doing passes

[rich igloo]

Or flying across the court for a lane steal

[outer trellis]

ik they capping about the bump steals being taken out

LMAO

[remote kelp]

Yeah I hope it isn't overpowered

[outer trellis]

they gotta be capping bro theres no way

thank the lord

them bump steals were so annoying

[remote kelp]

They said it was removed

So we have to see

[rich igloo]

Hopefully it will make these SG who make a PG build with no pass actually make a SG build

[outer trellis]

yeah they "SAID"

[unreal sigil]

😎

[rich igloo]

Nothing worse than playing with a PG that has no pass acc

[remote kelp]

Like I swear fr

I say the max pass you need is 55

[rich igloo]

Like just make your build at the 2

[remote kelp]

And move that height to 6'4

[rich igloo]

They gotta take the 5’9s out the game

They’re so pointless

[potent bison]

My old Xbox one keeps crashing and won’t stop every time I open any game. I’ve tried playing like five times and restarted it but nothings working. What do I do? If new console what to get I don’t have that much money

[rich igloo]

Turn it off for a few hours pray and come back upstairs and it will work pal

[fossil tide]

So when they say that old sigs are back like lebron step back and momentum because that the vibe im getting from this ?

[rich igloo]

LeBron step back was insane

[fossil tide]

Fr

[grave jackal]

That’s not what they are saying.

[iron skiff]

What yall think about a lock down shooting guard for 2k26? Or just in general

Im think about putting everything to perimeter and interior d 99 on both but I don't know about the sacrifice on offense being worth it

[delicate cypress]

Yo yo

[maiden cosmos]

.

[delicate cypress]

I should get nba 2k25

2k25 is worth it

[iron skiff]

Imma need the agility to he able to keep up ofc on d but I may be left with shooting 3 and mid in the 70s or 80s?

[delicate cypress]

You guys

[outer trellis]

wdym

hats literally what they mean

[rich igloo]

3 and D always gonna be viable

[delicate cypress]

Is 2k25 worth it

[rich igloo]

No

[delicate cypress]

I play on nintendo switch

[rich igloo]

Terrible game bro

Don’t bother

[outer trellis]

yeah just go ahead and wrap it up twin

[rich igloo]

Fr

[junior ore]

js got it on like my 10th try

[delicate cypress]

Okay

[rich igloo]

You know this quick catch and shoot shot

Am I holding L2 and the button

Or just L2

[delicate cypress]

I am thinking it's better on switch though that 2k25

[swift torrent]

holding L2 for a catch isnt new tho people been doing it for years

[rich igloo]

That’s what I’m saying

So is it just L2 and release when timing is right

[delicate cypress]

Well

[rich igloo]

Cause if it’s L2 and button that legit in the game

[delicate cypress]

That's only if you guard a player thou

[swift torrent]

yea idk if it give u a boost tho it should but i doubt it

[delicate cypress]

Okay

2k25 is fun on the switch I bet

[rich igloo]

Idk about that bud

[grave jackal]

Incorrect. He was referring to ANIMATION based pluck steals. Meaning pluck steals that are driven by animation after pressing the steal button.

They can never truly remove bump steals, as that would involve allowing the ball to teleport through players like how it used to teleport passes through players who were jumping for a block. It would ruin the games mechanics

[delicate cypress]

Ohh

[outer trellis]

bruhhh oh my god

[delicate cypress]

Nice

[outer trellis]

bump steals are so annoying bruh

ts so trash

[delicate cypress]

It is

Hey tevin add me back

I go for real talk about 2k25

[grave jackal]

No, bump steals are fine. The issue is when a steal teleports a player into it. If someone beats you to the spot and you dribble into them, that’s a skill issue and should be a steal.

[delicate cypress]

Wow

[remote kelp]

so maybe player control is back 🙏

[delicate cypress]

Or steal the ball anyways

[trail horizon]

Yall notice how they say the same stuff every year and haven’t shown any gameplay lmao 😂😂😂

[delicate cypress]

Wow nice

You dont need to do that though

[trail horizon]

They say player control always back back every year all these pro play animations when none are effective

[delicate cypress]

Just pack the ball out and then team up to get the ball back

[remote kelp]

idc I just want player control

want to play with my homeboy

[delicate cypress]

Okay

What's player control

[grave jackal]

Yeah they definitely have the same cycle for certain things. Some stuff they’ve mentioned this year though has been new and seems like it’d be realistic for them to implement

[trail horizon]

Yea me to but there not going to give it they would need to change the whole engine lol

[delicate cypress]

Is player control good in 2k25 because I might try it as well

[remote kelp]

They removed it in 25

[trail horizon]

2k25 has 0 play control

[remote kelp]

which is why I want it back

[delicate cypress]

Ohh ok

[trail horizon]

The downfall was after 23

[delicate cypress]

Wow

[trail horizon]

They nerfed speed after 2k23

[remote kelp]

just leave it in the game cause people still play it

[trail horizon]

I been playing sense 2k15 park bro they need to bring back 2k19 and old dribbling for creativity

[delicate cypress]

Ohhh ok

[trail horizon]

And iso ball

You get sucked in to screens and animations that you have no control over how is that fun? Makes every become luck

[remote kelp]

comn lets embrace the new engine they added since we don't want the same game

they said they fixed it so lets see

[trail horizon]

The new engine needs to be redone they use slop AI for dribbling and animations instead of full mo cap how they use to

The new pro play is not good I hope they actually fix it I love this game but I’ve been very disappointed for a long time and there predator ways were kids can’t even play the game anymore because of how expensive a my player is

[remote kelp]

tbf I managed to get two builds to 99

no cost and I don't play the game everyday

[trail horizon]

How long it take you

It takes a very long time dude don’t lie 😂😂

[remote kelp]

first build took me abt 2 months

same for the second one

[trail horizon]

Exactly

[remote kelp]

I mean tbf I made builds that would play nice at a low overall

[trail horizon]

2k14-2k19 took you less than a week brother

[thin sedge]

Yo

[trail horizon]

Who’s playing mycarear for 2 monthes lol?

[valid river]

why some of yall be askign the dumbest questions

[remote kelp]

I mean I actually like doing mycareer fr

so idm

[trail horizon]

Your in the minority no disrespect

This is my exact point lol

[remote kelp]

well it gives the most vc

[trail horizon]

No one who actually likes to play park likes to play mycarear is my point I’m making. Playing the game is what should give you the most VC in whatever game mode you want to play and it’s not like that

[thin sedge]

Rather do that than drop half a band

[remote kelp]

ong

[trail horizon]

This is my exact point why is it half a band lmao?

[remote kelp]

bout to max another build out

[trail horizon]

Why is it 100$ for a 99 build and 70$ for the game?

[remote kelp]

good for me that I enjoy mycareer

[thin sedge]

They blinded by the💰 now

[remote kelp]

nothin we can do abt it

[thin sedge]

I’m saying it rn

Wait til NCAA basketball drops and NBA LIVE

[remote kelp]

If they actually make builds 20$ then this will be the best 2K in a min

[remote kelp]

NBA Live is done

NCAA isn't coming out till 2027

[trail horizon]

I rather have a ISO meta that lets everyone dribble and have creative builds and pass around the ball and play styles rather than a L2 meta where 2s are unplayable. And screens that suck you in crazy .

[trail horizon]

It use to be 20$ a build

[thin sedge]

NBA Live jus on a hiatus. And im fully aware of NCAA

[trail horizon]

Game should be free the prices they ask for builds

[remote kelp]

NBA Live isn't coming back

EA isn't focused on that

they have Madden, CFB, and Fifa

[thin sedge]

EA missing a bag

[trail horizon]

I haven’t even talked about my team don’t get my started on that gambling junkie of tbat mode

[thin sedge]

U gonna bring back NCAA but dip on NBA Live

[remote kelp]

I don't play that mode at all tbh

[remote kelp]

I would expect that

it is EA after all

[trail horizon]

Neither do I because it’s even worse than playing park

[thin sedge]

Ngl I find MyTeam more entertaining than grinding for 2 months

[remote kelp]

Got a bunch of cards from the season pass tho

the free one of course

not dropping my hard earned money on this game

[thin sedge]

Where did it all go wrong

[remote kelp]

It has always went wrong

[trail horizon]

This is coming from someone who has a 85+ WP in stage and park in multiple 2ks bro and I work a regular job by the way

[remote kelp]

these companies always get money hungry when they get big

[thin sedge]

They have a whole discord I bet u none of em are checking this

[remote kelp]

Well I work as well and I have abt the same win percentage in play now

It really isn't how long you play it

it's how well you understand it

[thin sedge]

Is that feature real timing rebounds?

[remote kelp]

you have always had to time rebounds

now it shows you feedback

that is all

[trail horizon]

The player movement is all messed up you don’t have control of your character. You move and put the controller down and your player goes flying bro. They nerfed every dribble move. Everyone on 2k25 was running the same moves dawg. The gameplay is boring to watch and to play

[remote kelp]

People losing their minds for no reason

[thin sedge]

Word

[remote kelp]

now they have given you more control

[trail horizon]

Play now completely different than my park my brodi

[remote kelp]

eh not really

You control a player

I control a whole team

Actually play now is harder tbh

[thin sedge]

I remember making a 6’1 guard wit 75 rebound that boy was making centers look little

I don’t see the point of the feedback ngl

[remote kelp]

It is to show you how well you timed it

and the coverage

[thin sedge]

Ye I understand

But like who cares tho?

I’m liking the custom layups tho

[remote kelp]

I mean I don't use any of the meta animations in park and I do just fine

[thin sedge]

I can see a 2 way build going crazy

[remote kelp]

it's really up to you

[trail horizon]

That’s what I mean I hop on the game and can instantly tell someone’s all driving animations lol back in 2k19 and below it was never like that because every dribble move was viable

Which creates creativity and fun

[fierce yew]

Chat who is the free invincible for 60 gold event cards

Hmmm ok ok

[trail horizon]

This is misleading man ngl

[remote kelp]

yeah they actually did a good job adding this

[thin sedge]

Aii

[trail horizon]

For casual people who don’t care about winning you can use whatever you want bro. Playing anyone who is decent or good at the game you are getting smoked 99% of the time lol

[thin sedge]

What they rlly need to add is seperating ppl by overalls

[remote kelp]

I'm competitive in any mode lol

it is the person the behind the sticks at the end of the day

[trail horizon]

Being competitive at good at a game is two different things

[thin sedge]

I ain’t tryna play wit 60s if im a 90 (unless ik u that’s a different story)

[remote kelp]

And thankfully I'm good at the game lol

It is hard to guard those meta animations tho

but rarely do I find someone who can actually use them

[trail horizon]

Not trying to be rude but you don’t even play my park bro so I don’t know how much Input you can really give lol if you play play now

[remote kelp]

bruh ok I know Jamal Murray's behind the back is broken bc I have to guard it everytime I play someone using Denver

same thing with Zach's stepback

[trail horizon]

Anyone who says you can use whatever animations and play at a high level is capping 😂😂😂it’s so untrue

Bro Jamal Murray behind the back? Are we playing the same game lol that’s 2k24 it’s nerfed in 2k25 this how I know you don’t play

No one users Jamal Murray behind the back

Tray young everyone uses or kyrie

[remote kelp]

His behind the back is still pretty useful in rec games

[remote kelp]

I just named an example bro

[trail horizon]

No it’s not bro lmao this is what I’m talking about 😂😂it’s not useable

[remote kelp]

Ay I still manage to get open so idc

But I do think they need to let every animation be useful in its own way

[trail horizon]

Listen no disrespect but anyone who plays rec or play now has a different view on the game and don’t understand what’s really wrong with the game because you not playing against people who are good at the game thats where people abuse things the most and you start to unlayer 2k and it’s flawed mechanics and where everyone uses they same thing because other wise you can’t get open

All love 😂

[trail horizon]

For sure dawg

[gloomy thicket]

Delete

[trail horizon]

Once you go again 99 every defense stat and 99 speed and agility locks bro none of that use whatever animation you wnat is working lol

Once you go against a 99 offense dude that’s L2 every play with 99 board center you realize how broke this game is

[iron skiff]

This discord be having tournaments?

[gloomy thicket]

Mike wang explained. that will be fixed in 26

for the kids who think they good and spam L2 cheese they will lose adrenaline bar faster

[trail horizon]

This earlier in the year but I’m not a buzzard bro trust I know what I’m talking about

[trail horizon]

I hope so man he says stuff then nothing gets fixed hense why there’s no demos anymore or any gameplay so 👍

I’m hopeful

[gloomy thicket]

gonna be the kids who steal they moms credit card 😂

[static glade]

Is speedboosting back?

[remote kelp]

Lemme see the build fr

[trail horizon]

This my build I put my caps in 99 theee point and 95 ball handle and the rest in speed for

Used this build most of the year tho

Prob speed and dunk

[warm pebble]

have yall preordered 26 yet

[trail horizon]

I got like 700 hours in the game once I hit VET 2 I stopped playing which was like a couple
Monthes ago

And nah I hasn’t

[severe mist]

Anyone else got some hope for 26

[warm pebble]

hello

I have a bit of hope

i preorder it anyways

[proper edge]

[silk lantern]

[vague light]

Thats what i did. Played 2k20 till 22 and 22 til 24

[delicate cypress]

That's messed up

[mellow bridge]

Made some fire chicken Alfredo for the fam, and it’s alr gone an hour later

[delicate cypress]

Did someone had to wait 3 days for the game to finish downloading

Its impossible

My internet connection is good

[mellow bridge]

Not me personally I waited like one night but that’s cuz I’m on ps4

[delicate cypress]

Okay

[delicate cypress]

But for switch yes

[mellow bridge]

Mm

[delicate cypress]

Its very stupid that nba 2k25 will take longer to download on switch

Trials rising is about 23GB

But basically 2k25 is easier to setup now

For in game setup

[burnt sequoia]

Who’s we

Stage 1: hype

[ripe wing]

[random brook]

Why is they asking them type of questions

[burnt sequoia]

Bc they ed

They worrying about the wrong thing

[ornate hill]

Yea thats one thing i hate about 25, majority of the styles are garbage where everyone just ran darius garland

[burnt sequoia]

Mind u we don’t know how the badge system works

And y’all asking these BUM AS QUESTIONS

[random brook]

Facts

Didn't hear nothing bout badges yet
