[wind sedge]

Hey guys !

[mental token]

please the game can't be good. Y'all know VC prices are gonna be the same, y'all know we got no new badges, y'all know it's gonna be a GRIND to actually get a build up to 99 without buying VC.

[elfin summit]

Imma see if 6’9 tall guards useable

[supple hinge]

we good with what we got

[wind sedge]

How did yall like the builder and new features ?

[mental token]

I can't be worth it

[waxen oracle]

Dose anyone know how much it cost to make a build in 26 yet

[deep flare]

I wanted that 6’10 pg

Guess they not doing that

[wind sedge]

Imma 6'2 pg on 25 if yall want a great player I average 20 and 6

[sturdy walrus]

@supple hinge so corner specialist or green machine shouldn’t be in game?

[supple hinge]

hell no

[mellow ember]

7’4 wemby build 😮‍💨

[naive forge]

Yo yo!

[sturdy walrus]

okay bro i see how dumb you are

[sick lantern]

7’4 finna be slow ash💀

[proper edge]

Best builder ever

[odd coral]

Custom takeover is really cool I think that’ll promote a lot more diversity in play style

[wind sedge]

We got set shot specialist

[sturdy walrus]

you must be implanted by 2k

[elfin summit]

23*

[deep flare]

7’4 is gonna be walking up the court

Doomed

[sick lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-gif-26070171

[supple hinge]

mf why do you need green machine to shoot consistently, skill issue

[deep flare]

Let me make a 6’10 pg so I can just bully small guards

[wind sedge]

Imma dunk on that 7'4 with my 6'2 lol

[elfin summit]

Trueee

[sturdy walrus]

wager?

[mellow ember]

Not if we can add speed on our takeover

[versed geyser]

set shot from silver to hall of fame is wild

[deep flare]

They’re gonna put me at center knowing

2k

[sick lantern]

jah ahh build

[deep flare]

Hell yea

[sick lantern]

[supple hinge]

2500 wager

[deep flare]

I have a air born ace

[sturdy walrus]

playnow?

[deep flare]

Legend poster

Just be killing shi

[supple hinge]

mf said play now

don’t talk to me again

[mental token]

The idea behind Green Machine isn't needing it, but it's the idea of, when a player is hot in game, they keep shooting hot. Green Machine is the badge that reflects that

[wind sedge]

What yall on? Who play rec

[sturdy walrus]

pro am in august lol

[sonic lava]

first to dm me gets my 45min locker code

[sturdy walrus]

no money to be made in that game

[mellow ember]

bruh if that’s possible and if I can get at least 70 speed when my takeover full on my 7’4 that’s a win

[supple hinge]

it’s a wager so why does it bother you?

[mental token]

And by adding Green Machine, they can make it harder to shoot normally so that people aren't making everything

[sturdy walrus]

this game gonna be terrible no matter what we’re all gonna buy it

[burnt sequoia]

So basically 2k25.5

😂

[sturdy walrus]

😂

[fiery stirrup]

Green machine back?

[sturdy walrus]

nope

[sonic lava]

"2RC43-MLKJT-NKCP7-VPW62-CV3KU" here is my locker code, i dont play 2k25

[mental token]

exactly what it is

[supple hinge]

your also one of the delusional who want pie charts to right giant

[crystal owl]

Hi

[mental token]

except they want you to pay $70 for it

[sturdy walrus]

no lol

[mental token]

$70 for a patch to the game

[burnt sequoia]

Yes pie charts should be back in the game

😂

[strong portal]

wait was any1 in the stream to watch rhe builder

i missed the reveal

[mellow ember]

Idk why y’all think 2k gonna lower cost of builders this ain’t 2k16 they ain’t gonna give us cheaper builds to make for $20

[supple hinge]

pie charts were the worst builder ever

[burnt sequoia]

Only balance build system we got since 19

[burnt sequoia]

Df?

[supple hinge]

you had to make 10 builds because you were limited unlike now

[chilly viper]

What happened to the raid????

[strong portal]

pie charts were fire gng

[supple hinge]

they weren’t

[mellow ember]

No they weren’t 💀

[supple hinge]

freedom builder better

[burnt sequoia]

New build system sucks

[steep wing]

Chat, we might be back

[burnt sequoia]

Mf should not do everything

[steep wing]

-# I'm delusional

[mellow ember]

Skill issue

[burnt sequoia]

No a skill issue it’s a fact

[supple hinge]

yes they should ima nba player😂😂

[mental token]

Freedom builder is better in some ways, but worse in others. It's like this because they know people will mess up and wanna remake their build and spend more vc. All they care about is making more money

[burnt sequoia]

That made no sense

[mental token]

tbf not every NBA plyer is good at everything

[steep wing]

@mental token bro, I'm actually buying into the delusion atp

[burnt sequoia]

Thank u

[mellow ember]

7’4 wemby Build 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[supple hinge]

i’m a superstar

[burnt sequoia]

Common sense

[elfin summit]

Just pre ordered 2k im locked in chat

[steep wing]

I'm deadahhh prob gonna make a 3nD guy but TBF I have the defending skills of a wet sock lmao

[mental token]

Rudy Gobert specializes in being a great interior defender. But he has virtually no scoring bag outside of catching lobs and putting the ball in the hoop at close range, and he's not a particularly good passer

[supple hinge]

mf your player is a superstar , it ain’t got nothing to do with bench players

[burnt sequoia]

Shaq can’t shoot

[steep wing]

So like 3nD 4? @mental token Cause bro

[burnt sequoia]

🤷

[mental token]

It ain't worth it. The game won't be good, it'll demand your attention all year long, and demand your money all year long too. And then, at the end of the year, you'll look back on it like, man, what a waste of my time.

[mellow ember]

Blud wants us to be corner builds and specialist lol

[steep wing]

my brother, the only other game I'm thinking is FC lmao

[supple hinge]

exactly lmao

[steep wing]

damn near just as bad

[burnt sequoia]

Pie charts is even out than the bs we got now

[supple hinge]

delusional

[burnt sequoia]

I’ve seen a 5’9 dunk

This build system sucks

[supple hinge]

there’s 5’9 dunkers in real life

what’s your point?

[burnt sequoia]

Who in the nba

Name one

Name one

[mellow ember]

if I’m gonna spend my hard earn money ima make a build that does. Everything not be a specialist

[supple hinge]

it’s a video game

[burnt sequoia]

Ur point ?

[languid tendon]

New builder video dropped, same badges?

Gotta be something else out there. Plenty of better games to play

[burnt sequoia]

Mugsy dunked once or twice but ignoring that, Spud Webb was like 5'7 and in the dunk contest

and Nate Robinson was 5'9 and in the dunk contest

man he should've been

[supple hinge]

imagine losing the finals than commentating the new features in a game to the person you lost to in the finals on the cover

[burnt sequoia]

Bro get madden

At this point

Bring back pie charts and 2k 20 badge system

[steep wing]

Bro, madden's even more desolate

[mental token]

no shot. Unless you're just looking at modern, AAA games. But there are plenty of games worth playing that are better. I've gone back to play the DOOM (2016) reboot recently, and it's so fun to just go around beating the hell out of demons.

[steep wing]

Like thing is, the shooting in 25 ruined it for me, but I so desperately want to have a basketball game I love

and FC.... that's just because I live in a very hispanic part of Texas lmao

[burnt sequoia]

Hey buddy this 2k we finna get is gonna be good or bad

No in between

[mental token]

Trust me, I know. I love sports games. But half of them suck, and I can honestly have a lot more fun playing other games. I went back and modded GTA San Andreas to have better visuals and newer gameplay elements and it feels a blast to play

[burnt sequoia]

Go beat elden ring

[remote kelp]

Shooting is fine

this year it will expose those who are good and bad

you can't complain if there is no RNG

[steep wing]

and what's weird is I never could get my timing down

[remote kelp]

Just don't got the right jumpshot

[steep wing]

and I was chasing the "as soon as you see the ball at the top of his head" release but damn input delay

[remote kelp]

Don't always exactly match the speed that yt vids give you

[mental token]

That's on my list of games to play. So is Baldur's Gate 3, Hotline Miami, and the OG Half Life

[remote kelp]

Go off of feel

It works tbh

[steep wing]

brudda I have 2K Lab from reporting a server that was stealing info @remote kelp

[remote kelp]

wdym?

[steep wing]

I think this'll be year 3 of me having 2KLab premium for free from that lmao

server was stealing jumpshot info from the site and I 🐀 ed

[remote kelp]

Idk why you would buy that

[steep wing]

I said for free dawg

[remote kelp]

Oh nvm mb

But 2K Labs is useless

[steep wing]

Straight said "Officer! Right here!"

[remote kelp]

I think I ran the oscar robertson and kyrie

or the Iverson base

[steep wing]

TBF I realized this year either I'm just an absolute cone or I need to be a big lmao

I can't defend the guards

I have old man reaction time

[remote kelp]

Be a big

Just have sit on the corner of the paint

[steep wing]

I was down in the low block hitting dudes with the Shimmy Shimmy Ya

[remote kelp]

and correctly time the blocks and get the rebound

[steep wing]

Straight UncBall

but what's wild is, I admit

FC has the childhood bias

Played soccer for my YMCA as a kid

@remote kelp bro I toepoked but man if I put power behind it them shots had elite curve lmao

[zinc osprey]

/rank

[remote kelp]

Played soccer but wasn't too great at understanding the rules so I just stuck with basketball

[steep wing]

Also, bro I wish bron didn't have part ownership in Liverpool, cause you imagine that

Lebron x LAFC

you'd see a 120% boost in shirt sales lmao

[bronze flame]

wow

[steep wing]

@remote kelp also, bro surprised I don't see many Pulisic shirts nowadays

The ONE big name American we have playing in Europe lmao

(we have like 4 really but yeah)

Pulisic (AC Milan), McKinnie (Juventus), Weah (Juventus), Cardoso (Real Betis)

AC Milan even has an off white collab that 99% out of stock LMAO

[gusty tree]

Everyone in that chat tagging Mike when Zach is supposed to be the one answering right?

[versed imp]

@proper plover imma touch u

[coral canopy]

Do any of yall know when they dropping like park gameplay

[late ibex]

Yooo who seen the builder already

[elder jay]

Thoughts on the builder?

[late ibex]

I think it’s kinda cool

[coral canopy]

I actually liked it fr

It’s more flexible

[late ibex]

Same

[coral canopy]

You could actually control basically everything

[late ibex]

And we don’t have to guess the animations we get anymore after making the build

We can just see what we get while building it

[forest epoch]

Is it just the same as last year or nah

[late ibex]

Nah

[coral canopy]

Not really

[forest epoch]

How’s it different? I didn’t watch the stream

[wraith axle]

August 25th my bro

[sullen lichen]

do yall know if we are able to get the same amount of cap breakers that we recieved in 2k25?

[coral canopy]

Mmm Alr thank you

[wraith axle]

They were saying in the twitch vid that there’s more to earn then 25

[slow fulcrum]

Builder is a W

[coral canopy]

There’s a lot of new features

Like custom take overs

[sullen lichen]

bruh thats wild

[coral canopy]

You could search animations now

[wraith axle]

Only bad thing is you gotta grind for that feature

[coral canopy]

Fr

[forest epoch]

Wdym grind

Like a rep thing?

[wraith axle]

Watch all there be an insane amount of cheese builds

[wraith axle]

No no, same way you earnt a full take over in 25 by playing 15 games, i believe you need to play a lot more then 15 games to get custom. They didn’t really make it very clear on how to earn it

I pre ordered this mf days ago man the builder look dope ngl

[green hull]

It is icl

[mental token]

There wasn't any guessing before 😭 you just had to know what animations required what attributes. Just took a little bit of research first

[late ibex]

Oh sorry I got the game this year so I didn’t really know

[mental token]

Yeah I mean I made every build knowing what animations I would get because there were certain things I was aiming for

[grim cloak]

Dawg am i slow or what im watching this builder and not understanding shi

My attention span is cooked 💀

[mental token]

Like my 6'10 SF I specifically went for 87 midrange to get KD's Go To Shot

[mental token]

it's the same builder

they just added some stuff to make it easier to understand

like I'm not even joking, I'm pretty sure all of the badges are the same, and all of the attribute requirements are the same

[exotic nova]

Builder was a W and the new specialization skills as well as how the cap breakers work now

[grim cloak]

Where u seen about the cap breakers

[grim cloak]

Ah ok

[exotic nova]

Gonna be looking for high IQ Hoopers to play with when 2k26 drops

[mental token]

The game is cooked like, they make everything look great at the beginning of the year because that's how they sell the game. Wait till it comes out and there are tons of gameplay issues. Like last year how people had the post fade glitch in season 1 where they literally couldn't miss

we can't be this guillible

they do it every year

[exotic nova]

Can start running with ppl on 25 to build chemistry if anyone down message me I’m on xbx

[grim cloak]

I hope theres still triple threat park in 26

“EA team”

“Passion”

💀

[grave jackal]

There is nothing EA could do with Live to overtake 2k. And it’s not bc they can’t make a better game

The player base will just never split in their favor

[mental token]

Idk there's a lot of people who are kinda tired of the way 2K does things at this point

If nothing else, the fact that live exists could at least force 2K to make good changes to the game

[tired mauve]

Last year I made a 6’10 that could dribble shoot and had 99 post control however it only had 88 rebound

Should I try and make a similar build just with higher rebound

Or should I ditch the dribbling

Also

7’4 demigods otw

Not to mention the 7’4 post scorers

[mental token]

99 post OD, probably would've been fine with 87. And then yeah going 92 rebound for Gold Rebound Chaser. Especially since this year you could Max+2 that to Legend Rebound Chaser

[ornate hill]

My only fear about cap breakers now is

Is if a mf has a 50 steal his cap breaker should not boost ts to 70

Steals should be the most expensive thing in the builder

Or one of them

[mental token]

Doesn't even matter about that. The problem is gonna be that if some people have 35 cap breakers and other people have 10, it's gonna be a lot more noticable than some people having 17 cap breakers versus other people having 7

[mellow ember]

Dam was hoping you could add speed to ur custom takeover but makes sense would be op

[ornate hill]

I thought the max was 15

+2 badges could be OD too

Just don’t want as many builds that can “do it all”

Was a bit cracked in 25

[obtuse breach]

builder looks decent so far?

one thing i noticed is that we still have the same hairstyles since 2k19

[mild oar]

i just wanna confirm that the the Performance Meter that decides Pro, MVP, etc. will reflect a player playing well and not if you only win or lose. i need that confirmation from Mike Wang or someone from the official 2K company. I'm tired of playing well and my status taking a hit because you win some and lose some. 😅

[forest epoch]

Oh thank god bigs are gonna stumble if they take a terrible shot under the rim

No more angel Reese’s under the rim

[obtuse breach]

yeah please

[forest epoch]

I’m getting gold set shot on my big bro

I’m literally gonna have legend set shot

[ornate hill]

Yea that’s my problem

Not tryna sound like a hater

[forest epoch]

Nah ts is wild

[ornate hill]

But +2 is A LOT

especially for defensive badges

+1 was perfectly fine

2K27 gon be +3 💀

[forest epoch]

Nah bruh

Silver to legend would be nasty

[ornate hill]

You only get 1 plus 2 tho right

[forest epoch]

God I hope so

Legend deadeye and set shot on a footer would be nasty though

The demigod builds gonna thrive this year

ISO footers gonna dominate

[forest epoch]

Especially with the contest system the way it is

[ornate hill]

Im just happy it’s green or miss again

Hate seeing bs whites go in

Or non timed layups

[forest epoch]

I was pulling from half this year on my 7’1 anyway

Now i get legend set shot to play with

https://tenor.com/view/vince-carter-vince-carter-dunk-dunk-over-gif-14732882

[pastel adder]

This is the year of the demigods 🤣, max +2s will break the balance of the game

[tough vector]

if anything they finna raise the prices and ppl still gonna buy it

[mellow ember]

Doesn’t matter cause we gonna be on gta 6 if that happens

[tough vector]

i hope

ppl gonna gas this game either way and give them mad money so they wont improve cuz they know they dont have to try

literally the mcdonalds of videogames

[mellow ember]

we should already expect meta gamers to ruin 2k they don’t want fun they want to win

[silver roost]

100 dollar game and a 100 dollars to upgrade our player

🥀

[willow zinc]

It’s better wym

[opaque sparrow]

Yall know how they speeding gameplay up.Is 10% really gonna do smth? Like answer damet

[dawn gull]

How the fuc we posed to know wait till ppl play it

[opaque sparrow]

But like ion think it gonna do smth

[gilded trout]

u don’t know tho exactly

[dawn gull]

Well no one will actually know till the 29th

[shrewd robin]

TIL that live 18 and 19 ran on the ignite engine, not frostbite.

The same engine as nba live 14.

No wonder half the new stuff from fifa and madden didnt show up

[buoyant ginkgo]

any of yall know if there finna be any good dread hairstyles other than the tied back one in 25

[gilded trout]

who was this msg for

[tardy rapids]

Lower vc prices

[buoyant ginkgo]

lets be real thats not happening gang

[high coral]

Probably like 2 new ones that don't actually look good

[silver roost]

Nope 100 dollars to upgrade your player

[high coral]

They need to hire modders already

[gleaming lynx]

Rather is be like 2k 17 eveyone got the same build

[gilded trout]

how would that work brah

[dawn gull]

It’s always been around 75 bucks

[tardy rapids]

Got the all star edition last year got scammed 😪

[silver roost]

Thats a lot man🥀

[gilded trout]

u can’t be serious

[silver roost]

Yesss

[tardy rapids]

Spent 300 on 25

[dawn gull]

Don’t pay for it then…

You can always just grind

[buoyant ginkgo]

bro i just want normal dreads that arent like the droopy dreads from this year

[shrewd robin]

Anyone ig?

[opaque sparrow]

Y is 2k mobile way easier to be creative wit dribbling den normal 2k like 2k mobile got the momentum crosss when we gettin dat shi back gng

[high coral]

I have a mod for a bunch of different hairstyles that look really good. They can just put those in 26, but they insist on everyone looking like a minion

[tardy rapids]

Could of used that money for 3 more 2ks💔

[gilded trout]

ay bru i’m getting into nfl which team should i support

[high coral]

Same man

[gleaming lynx]

Eveybuild shouldn’t be deadly from 3 ball how it is now

[tardy rapids]

The pats they making they playoff this year

[silver roost]

100 hours later and im still not gonna be 99 overall with them giving 100 vc per game

[shrewd robin]

Ima need to see mycareer first

[late night]

myplayer offline never? 💔

[shrewd robin]

If the city, story, progression is better, i might consider

Otherwise... nahh

[dawn gull]

Yk there’s always a method at the start of the year for like a week

[gilded trout]

they’d just do em themselves they wouldn’t need modders for that but they won’t bc they clearly don’t care bout it

[silver roost]

City🥀💔

[tardy rapids]

2k should do long shot like they did in madden 18

[gleaming lynx]

Hopefully hitting 99 is quick again

[gilded trout]

wb ravens i fw zay zay heavy

[gleaming lynx]

I hate not being able to use a build to its full ability early

[late night]

im gay

[tardy rapids]

The ravens are kinda bandwagon but I mean it’s kinda not but u can do what ever team u like

[gleaming lynx]

Idc to grind if I can pay to get badges would also make game better

[high coral]

They clearly need modders if they still can't make anthony edwards look like himself 😭 like it's a need for them at this point

[opaque sparrow]

Fr but like y stage rewards so ahh now to like brink back how it used to be

[late night]

https://tenor.com/view/rizzler-the-rizzler-christian-turn-rizzler-turn-gif-3468410536510015644

[gleaming lynx]

99 maxed out build just for having the vc would make me buy tons of vc

[gilded trout]

ik cuz they good i heard, wb miami? they got fire uniforms

[silver roost]

20k vc for a t shirt😂😂😂😂😂

[gleaming lynx]

I agree clothes should be cheaper

In game only mascots should cost 100k and be set behind a rep wall

[tardy rapids]

Do what ever team u like

[dawn gull]

U want clothes to be cheaper but u talm bout paying for badges

[gleaming lynx]

Make mascots good again

[gilded trout]

for that they need his head scan not modders😭 the game just buns bro it won’t change unless they hire people who have passion for the game or at least care about anything more than milking money

[tardy rapids]

Should I buy 2k or madden

[shrewd robin]

Womp womp

[high coral]

Yep. The unfortunate reality 💔

[silver roost]

Paying for badges is a good idea more p2w that way they probably gonna add it at sum point cuz they greedy

[gleaming lynx]

2k madden dies in a week

2k last 3 months

[silver roost]

1

[tardy rapids]

Shi madden might be the one tho

[worn jolt]

Am I the only one who wishes more teams had their signature arena sounds? Like the knicks organ

[dawn gull]

A good idea? What u been puffin on I might need me sum

[high coral]

The face scan app still gonna be awful I bet

[shrewd robin]

No way, i thought they cost 2.5k v...

Nevermind, these prices are outrageous

[opaque sparrow]

Ye bro we gotta win 20 games in da stage just to have enough vc to by a T shirt gng like 2k what r we doin

[silver roost]

City filled with ads frame drops delay

[silver roost]

A good idea for them

[dawn gull]

Horrible idea for everyone

[gleaming lynx]

Is the city back

Hopefully they make it 1 park

[opaque sparrow]

Nah it’s city park

[silver roost]

Nahh all they care about is money

[gleaming lynx]

Don’t need multiple

[dawn gull]

Ion believe that

[gleaming lynx]

2 parks is bunz

[shrewd robin]

Well its what i play most in 2k. Play now is a snoozefest (online is fun though).

MyNBA isnt something i can get into, just too much going on, i can do franchise and manager modes in other sports games but not 2k.

The W.. no.

[gleaming lynx]

Only thing cool about 2 parks is rep boost at end of season

Best thing 2k did

[silver roost]

The gameplay is just bad even with zero ping i have a 1 second delay with the dribbling

[opaque sparrow]

Ye like how everyone gonna play park if u got 2 parks Ronnie Ik u hearin all dis talk so get shi together mb like y is da game getting a downgrade every year we should be having an upgrade all he wants is money it crazy

[dawn gull]

2 parks and 2 affiliations aren’t the same…

[gleaming lynx]

I just don’t like to split player base

Playing the same people over and over

Especially on 2s

[silver roost]

2 parks is soo garbage they should remove affiliations and make it just one big park like 2k21 20 and 19

[opaque sparrow]

Y it say good vibes on top when the game ain’t even good vibes no more shi terrible vibes

[gleaming lynx]

Also sunset and the old things they brought back was so mid

Ngl

[shrewd robin]

Dont know what to say man.

Mycareer ai sucks buns.

[silver roost]

Ps3 graphics

[dawn gull]

Ain nun wrong with affiliations there’s just better ways to do it the parks didn’t change nun bcus rise could still play in elite and vise versa

[silver roost]

True

[opaque sparrow]

Yes bro y they take shi out the game dats actually good like improve the shi dat need to be better im starting to think dem 2k devs kinda restarted

[silver roost]

Cant they just keep affiliations but make it like one big park

Like in 2k20

[tired nest]

they remove stuff and then add em back to a newer 2k and we celebrate it ts kinda sad

[dawn gull]

That’s what I was insinuating

[silver roost]

💔🥀

[silver roost]

Oh ok

[opaque sparrow]

Fr just don’t remove shi that’s good Ronnie what r we doing🥀

[tired nest]

or they can do it like 16-17 and make each affiliation its own server

[silver roost]

Yessss thats the best idea oat

[opaque sparrow]

Game been ruined from dis pro play shi

[dawn gull]

Is that not the same as two parks tho?

Just separating the player base?

[opaque sparrow]

Just look at 2k mobile Dey got way better moves then normal 2k which should be better

[silver roost]

Pro play added soooo much delay with the animations and they dont even look or feel realistic

[tired nest]

that’s how i thought 21-23 would be but nah they put it on one big city and not only that we didn’t even receive extra rep for winning in the other affiliations 🤦🏽‍♂️

[languid tendon]

I am looking forward to this game, but there is one problem, I can’t seem to make a build to stay with for the whole year on the first day, I wanna change that this year, this is the one thing I worry about, my build

[silver roost]

The first build you make is always gonna be bad

[tired nest]

that’s the hardest thing bro😭😭

the game changes throughout the year

[silver roost]

Yea

[tired nest]

just like 25 beginning of the game every build work until people started making 5’9-6’4 with 95 agility, speed and 3 ball

[marble echo]

Hw do I check my max points scored in a game

[opaque sparrow]

Uncle Demi said make slasher to start 2k26 because shooting way better so u can have slasher that can shoot with 70 3 ball

[dawn gull]

They always end up tweaking things I can’t ever replicate my build from the start of the year at the end of the year

[marble echo]

Someone pls 🙏

[worthy coral]

i still playing nba2k14 with mods and i have 2k25 🤣🤣

[tired nest]

i literally got back on 24 bc 2’s became unplayable on 25

[opaque sparrow]

Get outa here devs u ain’t fix dis broke ahh game

[silver roost]

They should make a 2k17 remaster

[worthy coral]

It's a problem, instead of improving the mechanics they make new ones every 2k.

[tired nest]

exactly

[marble echo]

How do u check the most points u scored in rex

[tired nest]

they don’t even go back to the mechanics that worked in previous games

the blueprint was right there

[opaque sparrow]

Dats what I said all cus of pro play

[tired nest]

they don’t use real people anymore

[worthy coral]

There came a day in April when I said time to put mods in 2k14 and continue enjoying it.

[tired nest]

that’s why everything feels so clunky

[silver roost]

When did they add that garbage?

2k21 next gen?

[tired nest]

24

[opaque sparrow]

Nah it was 22

[tired nest]

nah they was still using mocap in 22

[silver roost]

Ever since next gen every game has been bad

[tired nest]

it was 23 or 24 when pro play was introduced

[worthy coral]

My sports games are getting more and more boring in general, I feel like a FC or 2K from 2014 or 2015 was more fun.

[tired nest]

that’s when go-to shots was introduced

i wanna say it was 24

[silver roost]

Fifa 26 is looking good tho

[tired nest]

and for 25 they expanded it

now in 26 it’s for everything

defense, movement, offense, you name it

[worthy coral]

It's the same old product. I'm not excited about it anymore, my friend. I've fallen into this trap since the new FIFA engine.

[silver roost]

Nice delay in everything now

[opaque sparrow]

Its a video game like last year u couldn’t even move around court even wit 80 ball handle if ur not Glock 19

[tired nest]

delay and clunkiness

[tired nest]

bro it was so sad that i couldn’t speed boost with a 6’7

[silver roost]

Yea true unless you play career mode its really fun

[opaque sparrow]

Ye bro

[tired nest]

like do they not watch kd, paul george etc ?

[worthy coral]

Can you send me a video of the best trailer of 2k26?

[tired nest]

you literally had to have dgarland dribble style to speed boost in 25

no other style had it

[opaque sparrow]

Even wemby can dribble

[worthy coral]

For me the best thing to fc is carreer mode

[worthy coral]

wtf

[silver roost]

Wait what

[tired nest]

lemme find it

[worthy coral]

ok!!

[tired nest]

https://youtu.be/aem-81ru6KQ?si=XOnvIuiWOghQYvoH
wanna say this

or you can search up badgeplug and or joeknows on youtube

[languid tendon]

I wanna be a PG, so what’s the best size for that this year

[worthy coral]

i ll watch it, thanks man

[tired nest]

they broke everything down

[shy haven]

watch joeknows video @worthy coral

[mental token]

The game is gonna suck again. Not worth $70 every year for a patch

[opaque sparrow]

Prolly 6 9

[shy haven]

everything else is fluff

[shy haven]

and water is wet

[worthy coral]

joeknows complete review?

[mental token]

Just because it should be obvious doesn't mean people won't purchase it though

[shy haven]

no one's saying the game is good bro but it's the only basketball game out 😂

if there was a single 2K competitor, I assure you so many people would flock to it

[mental token]

Gotta at least try to remind them because the only way that the game is going to get better is if people stop rewarding 2K for doing this every year. If their bottom line gets hurt, they'll make changes

I'm not buying the game until there are significant, fundamental changes to the game. Like why is there a battle pass in a $70 game

We can't make competition. But we can avoid purchasing the game

[silver roost]

Ea is gonna make a basketball game no?

[tired nest]

they needa just keep one game open and update it year round

[mental token]

College Basketball game supposed to release in 2028

[shy haven]

i dont trust anything from EA until im holding the game in my hands

[silver roost]

Yea thats nice

[silver roost]

2k is worst

[mental token]

I've been saying for years if NBA Live came back and was just updated every year as a patch and not a new game, it'd be way better than spending $70 on this crap every year

[tired nest]

i don’t think graphics can get any better so no need to keep making new games every year, just update the roster and add new stuff to the game every year or every couple months

[shy haven]

yeah but 2k actually exists

ea axes games all the time

[tired nest]

nba live is our last hope

or a new company needs to come with a basketball game

2k became too complacent

[silver roost]

Fromsoftware

[delicate cypress]

Hi

[silver roost]

The graphics are soo bad do you play single player games or no?

[tired nest]

i only play online

[mental token]

which is why they feel like they can add a battle pass and INSANELY aggressive monitization to the game

[silver roost]

Why is a battle pass in a basketball game💔🥀

[tired nest]

bc they see fortnite is successful with battle passes

[cunning quest]

Broke? Must not be to have a gaming system, iPhone, car, ect

[mental token]

Like it's actually so awful. The entirity of Season 8 in MyTeam were "events" (they were all duplicates of each other) in which the main "prize" were cards that were virtually unattainable by real humans with real lives, and the only way to get it realistically was spending around 1K. For 1 card in a game that will lose its servers in another year's time

[silver roost]

Yea but the season pass is p2w you can just pay for cap breakers and badge perks

[robust magnet]

How y’all think about the builder

??

[silver roost]

Garbage

[robust magnet]

😭

[mental token]

That is a wildly stupid argument that I can't even begin to debate lmao

[robust magnet]

How come bro?

[cunning quest]

Man’s got 400 games on steam, blames 2k for a battle pass, man is the target audience lmfao

[tired nest]

i was gone debate it for you but i was like nah it’s common sense atp😂😂

[silver roost]

Old builders are better like in 2k20 19 80 and 17

[robust magnet]

True

[silver roost]

18*

[mental token]

Like if that's not ragebait then it's someone who's too stupid to actually bother debating with anyways

[tired nest]

if people think this game is worth 70 every year they’re very good with finances, stocks, investments etc😂😂

[silver roost]

It should be free

They get a lot of money from vc

[cunning quest]

Bro 70 is an hour and a half of work, just do better for yourselves

[tired nest]

should be a open server or game with updates every couple months and updated rosters year wide

[silver roost]

Still a lot of money

[tired nest]

fortnite is prime example

even cod

these games don’t close servers because a new game is dropping

[mental token]

I wouldn't go that far. I would say that the MyCareer and MyTeam modes should be free, and then the full game should be $70. They do put a lot of effort into the game (theoretically) and those other modes have a lot of value to them

[tired nest]

they keep all servers open

[cunning quest]

In comparasion to the things you have already? No. Y’all complain to complain

[silver roost]

Yea thats good to

[tired nest]

nah the whole game should be free except for myplayer and myteam content

[silver roost]

I aint paying 70 dollar for trash bro🥀

[tired nest]

that’s where the money stuff should come in

n season passes etc

[mental token]

It's not about the cost of the game, it's about the fact that you pay for the game, and then they ask you to pay AGAIN for VC, battle passes, etc. Back in the day, games would come out and you'd only purchase them once. You wouldn't need to buy all this extra crap after.

[cunning quest]

GG I guess

[silver roost]

Yesssssss

[mental token]

It's just corporate greed

[cunning quest]

You hear yourself mr 400 steam games ?

[mental token]

How many of those do you think I paid for?

[cunning quest]

Not enough to complain about the price I guess

[mental token]

Because I'll tell you this, I have 150+ games on Epic too. And I haven't spent a dime there. So many games are given out for free nowadays through various means

[silver roost]

What does that have to do with anything

[tribal ruin]

what y’all should be doing is investing in take two, but that’s a convo for a different day

[mental token]

He's just trying to pivot the argument to avoid actually acknowledging any points made

It's a red herring

[tribal ruin]

literally a free money glitch

[tired nest]

interesting

[silver roost]

Investing 1 dollar

[tribal ruin]

2k boutta come out and yk people mindlessly spend money on it so that’s a free return

[tired nest]

all stocks are up rn too

might just have too

[tribal ruin]

then when gta comes out it’s skyrocketing

[tired nest]

you js put me on

[tribal ruin]

been locked in since 2021

[tired nest]

didn’t even think about that

[tribal ruin]

facts bro people forget take two the parent company for both those games

[grim cloak]

So free

[tribal ruin]

take that one dollar and add about 214 give or take

[tired nest]

what do you use for your stocks ?

[cunning quest]

Bro is complaining about a pass you don’t even need to buy, yet has at least a 1,500 dollar computer a separate console with a subscription like this comes with what it means to be a gamer? Just stop complaining when your apart of the problem, if your just broke then say that but obviously not if you have all these things

[tribal ruin]

webull

[tired nest]

lemme download that

[tribal ruin]

put my moms on and she got her investor at chase working on it

[tired nest]

i use kraken and robinhood rn

[robust magnet]

If i didn’t pay for 2k these lasts years I could’ve gotten so many other things I spent like 3k

[tribal ruin]

webull has so much more freedom

[silver roost]

How am i broke if i dont wanna spend 70 dollars for the same game every year

💔

[blazing locust]

L

[normal summit]

Then wait for it to go on sale

[tribal ruin]

could’ve been putting that 3k into stocks and let it pay for itself every year💔

[blazing locust]

Let me guess gotta purchase the other cap breakers

[cunning quest]

Because you think $70 is more than just fkn pocket change

[robust magnet]

Or a pc

💔

[blazing locust]

Bro what?

[tired nest]

i wanna get into day trading but i’m still learning that

[cunning quest]

Literally just do better for yourselves

[silver roost]

When that happens gta 6 is gonna come out no one is gonna buy 2k

[tired nest]

so i just invest into stocks

[mental token]

Where are you making this crap up from LMAO Who says that I have a computer worth $1500? Who says I have a console at all? Much less a subscription to an online service? And what does paying for OTHER games have to do with 2K being greedy?

[silver roost]

70 dollars is a lot man😭

[normal summit]

Then why are you complaining

[mental token]

Like this is a new level of stupidity I didn't think we'd be able to reach

[tribal ruin]

basically if i make my same build as last year thats a free 99 speed after i finish all my specialization quests🤣

[late night]

i hope they gon add an option to make out with lebron in mycareer

[silver roost]

Cuz the game is garbage every year and they dont listen to the community

[blazing locust]

Facts

[tribal ruin]

2k cod and gta always been the big 3 so idk what you talking about

2k was crazy and gta v came out

[blazing locust]

2k is not a big 3 I’m ngl

[silver roost]

2k and cod in the big three 😭🥀

[tribal ruin]

back in the day it was

[normal summit]

Then play 3 on 3 freestyle

[late night]

i hope they render his dih to make it realistic

[blazing locust]

I love 2k but it’s not even top 5 in 2k19

[mental token]

and COD has fallen off a cliff

[tired nest]

2k is not in a big 3 bro

[cunning quest]

Well you wouldn’t have a steam acc if you didn’t have a PC so that guarantees my first sentence, you play 2k I assume not on that said pc so there’s another console with a live service subscription like I said, and then you have a phone and a car right? All these things are massively expensive compared to your free “battle pass” your complaining about? Do better for yourself femboy

[tribal ruin]

bo2 gta 5 and 2k15?

[tired nest]

people don’t even play sports games frl

[tribal ruin]

should’ve clarified

[blazing locust]

2k19 sold more copies than 17 btw, and still not even top 5

[silver roost]

Holy glazer

😂

[tribal ruin]

but back when 2k and cod were good that’s how it was 😭

[cunning quest]

Nah we just grew up unc

[mental token]

That guarantees I have a PC. It says nothing about the value of the PC. And actually, I do play 2K on PC. So your assumption is incorrect. My phone was free. I bought a used car. So why do you keep talking about stuff you know nothing about?

[silver roost]

Peak

[cunning quest]

So now your changing your story it was just “your assuming i have a computer” keep on with holding information you know your caught up in it

[blazing locust]

That bf6 is peak

Yall played it yet

[mental token]

You lack critical thinking skills and are not worth interacting with.

[brittle fog]

everyone repost my question i just asked for 26, we need to know how cap breakers will work

[cunning quest]

But my critical thinking just exposed your computer right? Fallacy

[silver roost]

Are you really mad at him cuz he has a pc and 400 games and he doesn’t wanna spend 70 dollars for the same game every year?

[cunning quest]

Bro is smooth brain

[mental token]

dude said "caught up in it" as if I'm making up lies about myself

[blazing locust]

He’s literally in the discord server 😂😂😂

[cunning quest]

Yeah bc he spewing garbage knowing he’s the person they are targeting

[mental token]

all I'm saying is that 2K is a greedy company

which is pretty clearly facts at this point

[tribal ruin]

i can’t scroll up rn mb bro but you mind explaining why yall going back and forth?

[tribal ruin]

they were one of the first to increase the standard edition to 70

[gleaming lynx]

Have they said anything about baseline sensitivity

[mental token]

I said the game shouldn't have a battlepass because it costs $70

He said "Why do you care, you have a PC and stuff"

[gleaming lynx]

Reverse layups are damn near none existent

[blazing locust]

#bringback6’10purelocks

[silver roost]

2k is good vs 2k is garbage

[mental token]

Which is just a stupid non-argument and blatantly avoids the point that the game is greedy for having a battle pass

[simple sentinel]

Yes they “improved it” hoping so

[tribal ruin]

with take two as the parent company with funding needed for gta 6 they are gonna prioritize the maximum yearly return over all

[mental token]

They gotta try to target me since they clearly don't need to do much to get your money

[gleaming lynx]

Hopefully it’s not as easy unless a player with a higher defense rating is there

[cunning quest]

Then just say that. Don’t sit here and have run on sentences talking about “oh I can’t afford this and that” when you literally have multiple consoles. Just don’t pay for the pass you so ignorant dude lmfao. “I have a 1500 pc but I can’t afford a $20 pass that i literally don’t have to even pay for” your just arrogant as hell

[gleaming lynx]

You could be unguarded and walk out

[cunning quest]

Yeah $70 is worthless to me and I don’t get the passes ?

[silver roost]

why would i want to pay extra money for a 70 dollar game after upgrading my player for 100 dollars🥀🥀

[gleaming lynx]

Why pay for the season pass if you gonna play the game the xp coins are worthless

The cards they give are worthless in a week

The mascots give no advantage

[silver roost]

If you want you to 2k you need at least 200 dollars

[proper edge]

Yo

[mental token]

What the hell is your problem with me complaining about the game? Do you work there? Do you get kickbacks if I buy the pass? And stop parroting misinformation. Why are you saying I have multiple consoles? I don't have a PS5, XBOX, Switch, none of that. I have a PC, and that's what I play games on. Which is why I have a lot of games on PC.

[gleaming lynx]

You gain nothing from buying season pass but I like it

[silver roost]

Cap breakers badge perks p2w

[cunning quest]

You don’t have to get micro transactions, do I, yes. I can afford it. Do I complain. No. On a regular day you can grind 100k vc easy yall just do better

[mental token]

How does it make me arrogant to call our 2K's greed?

[scenic basin]

ronnie idgaf about 2k26 whats gonna be in the battle pass

[cunning quest]

Because it’s arrogant to say you HAVE to buy the pass

Strength in numbers fallacy. Bro your really bad at this

[mental token]

No one said you have to buy the pass. Where did I say you have to buy the pass

[tribal ruin]

if they listened to the community more in certain aspects they could’ve made more money than they are right now theoretically

[mental token]

You keep making up bs to fit your argument that never happened LMAO

The point is there shouldn't BE a pass

[tribal ruin]

but buying the battle pass is only a necessity for my team if you think about it

[silver roost]

Yea but dont you think if they removed the micro transactions and made it so you just have to pay 70 dollars and not 200 dollars it would make more people want to play the game?

[tribal ruin]

it’s pay to win for sure

[cunning quest]

Example A. “Need to buy all this crap”

[tribal ruin]

The BP does induce FOMO

[silver roost]

Badge perks and cap breakers bro

[mental token]

I used to play NBA Live 07. I enjoyed that game. There wasn't any need for a battle pass, there weren't tons of cosmetics and microtransactions being aggressively marketed towards players. You made one purchase, buying the game, and everything in it was able to be earned within a reasonable amount of playing the game

[pseudo crag]

!feedback MyCareer: Please add more hairstyles and accessories to the game!!

[wind dragon]

The !feedback command only works in the #📬game-suggestions channel.

[mental token]

That's out of context and not specifically saying that you need to buy the battle pass. You're just cherrypicking atp

[tiny tiger]

i miss 2k21

[gleaming lynx]

You get that free

[tiny tiger]

the unrealisitic 2ks

[silver roost]

You can pay for it to get it right away

[mental token]

The point is, the game is BLANTANTLY greedier than it used to be for no other reason than the guys in suits want to buy a third yacht

[tribal ruin]

that’s in the free tier, only benefit of upgrading the pass is extra my team cards which are op, cosmetic options, 15k vc and a faster xp earn rate

[silver roost]

So its an advantage

[gleaming lynx]

I like 2k20 and 2k25

More then any of there games

[tribal ruin]

it’s an option

[late terrace]

Being able to pay early is what he saying lol an advantage to skip the grind

[mental token]

Yes exactly

[cunning quest]

Like your not cherry picking to, especially when you went back over your words after I exposed you are well off enough to have a pc worth at least 1k and sit here bitching about less than 1% of the cost

[tired nest]

25?

[silver roost]

Yeah

[gleaming lynx]

I would love to be able to pay to skip the grind

[mental token]

The fact that you can pay to get an advantage causes imbalance in the game

[silver roost]

Bro just chalk the convo

[tribal ruin]

i get my level 40 in a day without even putting much thought into it

[late terrace]

😭😭😂😂

[gleaming lynx]

Rec In 2k25 is fun asf

[tribal ruin]

it’s not that deep paying to get it

[late terrace]

This funny asl to read

[silver roost]

How?

[tired nest]

25 prolly the worst 2k they’ve ever dropped

it’s up their with 18

[late terrace]

Easily

[cunning quest]

It takes a grind no matter what to reach 99, all that time is where you get your vc in. Typical Saturday off work play 8-9hours I make 100k vc just playing how I want, no crazy grinds or exploits

[mental token]

Where did I say my PC is worth 1K? You're so dense. Even if it was, how does having a 1K PC imply you're well off? Could someone not be gifted a PC? My PC personally was built by myself to save money, and the parts were gifted to me by friends and family for Christmas over the course of 2 years.

[tribal ruin]

street ball till i get my team xp coins and just do triple threat since my team gives a x50 or x100 times boost to your bp level

[mental token]

At this point you're just having to make up new 💩 just to fit your arguments

[cunning quest]

Right, the most believable pc build I’ve ever heard

[tribal ruin]

it’s easy and not hard to hit 40

[silver roost]

Or just pay to max it out right away🤩

[late terrace]

It’s not like a game breaking advantage, but to be able to buy stuff early and skip the grind is a very technical “pay to win/have an advantage” is all that’s being said

[tribal ruin]

but it’s up to YOU and your limitations financially on what you decide to do

[mental token]

What's not believable?? That someone would recieve gifts for christmas? or that someone could build their own PC

[cunning quest]

The same way you made up your pc is less than 1k. I doubt less than half of your 400 steam games run on a pc less than 1200

[silver roost]

Play 8-9 hours oh hell nahh I would rather watch paint dry

[late terrace]

Yeee. It’s all options. I get why people do it and I get why people don’t like it

Both sides can be right lol

[cunning quest]

Well I don’t do a lot of losing so it’s nothing

[mental token]

Either way, if you don't wanna believe me, I don't know what to tell you. I can't make you believe me.

What PC games do you think I'm playing? or do you just not understand how easy it is to run games at 1080p?

[silver roost]

Nope only im right

[late terrace]

My fault king 🙏

[tribal ruin]

used a prebuilt pc that came with a 1650 in 2020. cost 700 and all i did was upgrade the ram for less than 50 and a 3060 for 200 and i run all triple a games 90-144 fps at a stable rate what are you yapping about

[cunning quest]

Yeah it’s just insane to me someone has a decent pc worth literally thousands sits and complains about a season pass they claim “needs to be purchased”

It’s like a triple ironic fallacy

[silver roost]

He didnt say that he just said its p2w which it is

[cunning quest]

The pass is not pay 2 win

[tribal ruin]

it is

[silver roost]

I mean paying for one cap breakers and badge perks day one is p2w

[late terrace]

Pay to have an advantage yes lol

[cunning quest]

But you can get all those breakers free in like two days

[mental token]

worth literally thousands

now who's using fallacies lmao. You have no proof of any of this and you keep exagerating how much my PC is allegedly worth

[silver roost]

Yea

[late terrace]

😭 it’s not mandatory but 2k is aware of that

[silver roost]

Never in two days no way

Maybe a week

[spice rose]

Why argue? Arguing is for 5 year Olds. Just saying

[mental token]

This guy only knows how to make the most egregious exaggerations

[cunning quest]

If y’all think a singular +1 cap breaker is pay to win y’all must be trash

[late terrace]

They don’t force to buy but in a competitive setting it’s disruptive. Kinda like how cod will release a weapon thats broken to get people to buy it then patch it later

[silver roost]

We are on discord bro

[late terrace]

Or for honor a hero that’s overpowered so people will buy it

You don’t have to buy it

But you have an advantage once you do

[mental token]

Exactly. The vast majority of games who add new characters or weapons will do this

[silver roost]

For honor you can get the hero for free no?

[late terrace]

Yeee you can

B ur they have early access on hero’s

[tribal ruin]

@cunning quest think of it this way, day 1 everyone’s starting out, you’re in a server where nobody bought anything higher than the standard edition or the bp except you. you buy all the bp levels and the hof pass. right there you have an insane advantage with 45k vc plus a cap breaker and any other vc that came with your edition

[silver roost]

Ohhhh

[tribal ruin]

most people that play you may stop playing park or go to my career and try to grind organically

[late terrace]

So when a new comes out, you have to wait like a month before it’s publically available. During that time it doesn’t recieve nerfs or tuning

[tribal ruin]

but won’t be able to put in 6-8 hours to figure out the game to get to your level in the season pass or get that amount of vc

[spice rose]

That makes total sense. Not. Way 2 much pointless drama. Bye

[tribal ruin]

like i said it doesn’t affect me cause whether i pay or not i finish it in a day without even putting no effort

[silver roost]

Yea but if your good at other heroes its not really a problem

[cunning quest]

Sure but I doubt it will affect me and my 5. Just a skill issue for y’all if you think the opposition has just 1 cap breaker and 1 badge plus one(they barely effect your build we are using your example of singular cap breaker)

[late terrace]

Yeee. But it still having broken properties and keeping it behind a pay wall, and not patching it til the paywall is gone is suspect at the least

[silver roost]

Bro you play 9 hours a day and you spend 1 billion dollars on micro transactions 🫩🫩🫩🫩

[tribal ruin]

but you’re also forgetting the monetary advantage which is the extra vc. going forth as the game progresses your argument is completely valid on all aspects

but day 1?

[cunning quest]

I don’t I load up once a year with the $150 and call it a day

[tribal ruin]

super pay to win

[silver roost]

I love spending 200 dollars on a bad game woooww nice

[tribal ruin]

the yns are nerds at this game so based off my examples plus the skill gap it’s pay to win at this time

[mental token]

At the highest level, any advantage can be make or break. If you're as good as you claim to be, you likely play Pro-Am, so you should understand that, when playing with and against the best of the best, every advantage, no matter how big or small, makes a difference

[tribal ruin]

going forth it’s more of a slight advantage

[mental token]

Yeah I just don't know how someone is seriously defending this with their entire chest LOL

[cunning quest]

I’m not defending it just calling you on your bs

[silver roost]

2k targeted audience

[mental token]

The bs of...... calling a company greedy for doing something greedy?

[late terrace]

Side note go like my question 🙏🙏 I need 6’10s to get on-ball menace. Goofy asl they can get the attribute but not the badge

Plz and thank you fellow kings

[silver roost]

So you do think the micro transactions are bad

[tribal ruin]

what y’all needa do is 1v1 or 3v3 when the game comes out and squash ts😭. once you turn off your pc or phone yall not gonna even remember each other

[cunning quest]

Not even what we are talking about just like you told me, your cherry picking now

[mental token]

I hope they can get it, 6'10 was one of my favorite heights this year

[tired nest]

i agree

[mental token]

That's funny that you think I'm buying this game AGAIN LMAO

[silver roost]

Reallll

[late terrace]

6’10 has such good attributes. Shame the gameplay was so clunky for anything above 6’4

[cunning quest]

No, pass doesn’t have to be purchased, and you can get 100k vc a day easily, seasons being 45 days. That’s a lot of time and vc to make a build

[tribal ruin]

atp it’s just a morality issue for you with that point. every company does it from gacha games to fps games

[silver roost]

@cunning quest 1v1 me bum

[mental token]

Yeah they really didn't give enough good dribble moves to those other heights

[mental token]

Yeah which is why I don't play those other games either LOL

[cunning quest]

I’m at work rn but what height

[silver roost]

Ermm what

[tribal ruin]

if you aren’t putting money towards the game or have an intent of buying it what’s the point of going so hard

[late terrace]

6’10s got giannis crossover at the starter whatever for new animations and that was it 😂😭😭

[silver roost]

6 foot 3

[late terrace]

Yall gone be 6’4 and like it

[mental token]

Hey Giannis crossover was tough as hell though I can't lie

[tribal ruin]

the amount of clouds in the sky can’t even add up to the amount of company’s using micro transactions or the same model as take two

so who cares

[cunning quest]

Ok I have a 6’3 shoot me a pm we can talk later

[mental token]

Because if we don't complain about the game, they won't fix it. That's how it's gotten to this point to begin with.

[tired nest]

nooeeeee

[silver roost]

2k probably has the worst micro transactions if u think about it

[late terrace]

25 is my least played 2k respectfully. I ain’t even gone act like I was super nice at it cuz i ain’t like it enough to stay on the game

[silver roost]

Yup

[cunning quest]

You have to be the one complaining? If no one but you complains change wouldn’t happen? You hear yourself bro

Pick me femboy

[silver roost]

I choose you

[tribal ruin]

been playing since 2k7, it’s a terrible sight to see over time

Oh boo hoo

bot flagged me for caps

[late terrace]

😭😭 this being named the good vibes chat is comedy atp

[tribal ruin]

bro can’t handle the jungle smh

[cunning quest]

Mr 400 steam games, has to be the one complaining for 2k to make a change because he can’t afford a battle pass he doesn’t have to buy but yet has a pc worth more than a few consoles combined

[mental token]

I like playing basketball games. NBA Live was my jam as a kid. NBA Live no longer exists. So I bought 2K25, I played it for a year. I've seen and heard from the community about how the game used to be. It's not worth supporting this company. And it won't get better unless you say something about it. The community at this point is just suffering from stockholm syndrom LMAO

[silver roost]

Bro….

[tired nest]

what was ur first 2k ?

[tribal ruin]

you’ve only been in here since august and you’re already an mvp yapper?

sheesh

btw it’s a joke calm down before you crash out

[soft gust]

How do I submit an answer for it to be answered??

[mental token]

23, on PC. It was last gen. The only reason I bought 25 was because it was next gen, and I wanted to see if the improvements were enough

[mental token]

LMAO nah that's valid I'm just super passionate about anything that I get into

[cunning quest]

Your passionate about steam alright

[tired nest]

you missed some good 2k’s bro😭

[tribal ruin]

nah same here

[mental token]

That's what I've heard 😭

that's why I'm complaining like

[tired nest]

15-17, 19-20 even 22😭

[mental token]

I can't ever experience those games again

because of the greed

[tribal ruin]

i’m also unintentionally sarcastic asf so i gotta chill sometimes

[mental token]

Because I can't even buy or play those old games if I wanted to

[late terrace]

22 would have been so much better if it was green or miss

[tribal ruin]

you could play it technically

[tired nest]

i mean you can purchase em and play the offline mycareers

[silver roost]

23! Bro missed everything 😭😭😭😭

[tribal ruin]

smh back in 15-20 when there was no cheaters ?

[mental token]

Yeah but I imagine it wouldn't be the same. I do still go back to NBA Live 07 once in a while though

[tribal ruin]

good ol days fr

[silver roost]

2k20 is goated

[tired nest]

he missed everything bro😭

[late terrace]

In 15 at the end of the year there were wembanyamas everywhere at their full potential lol

[tired nest]

bro 19 was so fun

[cunning quest]

I’ve actually really liked 2k25

[tired nest]

16 and 17

even 22

[tribal ruin]

think there’s a community project for the 17 + where people play still on pc. not sure if it’s still active tho

[cunning quest]

18 was my favorite so far

[late terrace]

Oh Kari you trolling lmfao

[silver roost]

Whachhh?

[late terrace]

Elite rage baiter now I see why the argument was so long

[tired nest]

bro said 18😂😂

[tribal ruin]

speaking of active, i needa cop new thumbsticks before 26 comes out

[cunning quest]

Nah man it’s because of the time spent with my friends that year there’s more to it than just games bro

[silver roost]

Maybe cuz they introduced micro transactions

[tribal ruin]

aigh bro now we got beef

[late terrace]

😭😭😂😂😂

5k for a haircut

Never forget

[silver roost]

🥀

[mental token]

Fair, I need a break though LOL After playing for a year, I'm gonna go back to experiencing other games for a bit. I did this between 23 and 25 too, it was nice to have time to play other games.

[tired nest]

took 2 years to get to the park without taking the subway 😂😂

[late terrace]

I swear 😭😭😭

[silver roost]

What games do u play

[mental token]

24 was straight up NOT worth getting on PC anyways

[late terrace]

Walk into the park with your squad and they teleport to the multiverse
