[shy mesa]

For bad people not good

Fading still easy bro

[radiant solstice]

This jumpshot is overpower if u point guards

[shy mesa]

C Anthony best base for guards

Or tracy

[empty field]

Why we nerfing fades and not tempo shooting???

[burnt sequoia]

They did

[shy mesa]

They did tho

[burnt sequoia]

For both

[radiant solstice]

I thought it was matt Ryan or Carmen

[white wasp]

Both got nerfed and fades are the real issue

[sour sand]

they nerfed both

[shy mesa]

Anthony mad clean

[empty field]

It says not as much for tempo but a larger nerf for fades

[burnt sequoia]

Tempo is the real problem

[shy mesa]

I keep saying good people won’t feel the difference

[empty field]

Fr

[white wasp]

Not nearly as much as fades basically being normal jumpshots

[radiant solstice]

The timing C for 4elease

[white wasp]

Yk how many games I've played where the guard who gets boxed from doing fades goes negative and can't do anything else with the ball

They suck

[burnt sequoia]

Yea and what they using for fades tempo

[empty field]

If they keep it like fades are as good as stand stills not better than set shots I’m cool with it

[burnt sequoia]

Tempo needs a heavy nerf

[radiant solstice]

Same with rudy gay he was nasty in 2k13

[shy mesa]

I can hit you up w my jumper if u want it it’s almost all a+ expect stability is a c+

[grave rover]

Yea i aint gone hold you if you made a 7 4 or small guard your fried

[sour sand]

they shouldve just removed it this year, they clearly messed it up. this the 2nd patch for it

[burnt sequoia]

Yup

[shy mesa]

I mean tempo is a preference tho can’t really say it should be removed

[burnt sequoia]

Should never been a thing

At all

[shy mesa]

They should just make it the same window as button tho

[radiant solstice]

I would take u up this offer i was using a jumpshot my friend put me on it chicken

[white wasp]

Small guards been fried they can't guard shi

[half trout]

Looking for crew members

[grave rover]

They could fade like a mf tho

[sour sand]

i tempo shoot but they messed it up this year, i wouldnt have been mad if they just removed it

[light plover]

Does any 1 know for this patch if you have to double green now or what?

[half trout]

We always on just need more heads

[sour sand]

it had a hitch on day one and they didnt patch it correctly

[burnt sequoia]

It is the same green window it’s the fact that u only have to green the tempo

[white wasp]

Literally everybody can they just are the fastest, but they give up 80

[empty field]

Tempo is just exploitive, the logic of speeding up or slowing down your release is non existent. Nobody uses it for that. They just use it cuz you have 2x the room for error in hitting the green window

[grave rover]

Yea that speed makes a difference bun

Bub

[shy mesa]

I mean w button u gotta green the shot youre still both greening one thing?? I don’t see the difference

[white wasp]

It does but the contest isn't there a lot of the time when you are there anyway

[empty field]

It’s not the same green window it’s more. With more room for error. It’s the same make percentage tho

[sour sand]

honestly they didnt need to change tempo from last year thats the first problem. it was easy last year and they made it easier lmao

[burnt sequoia]

So what ur saying is if I tempo shot early it but green the tempo it should go in

[white wasp]

This is why it's both 1 timing

[burnt sequoia]

^

[grave rover]

On a 6 8 you definitely can contest small guard way to speedy

[shy mesa]

I mean ur still looking to green the tempo so in my opinion yes

[burnt sequoia]

No u should green the timing also

[white wasp]

Both button and tempo is easy as hell

[shy mesa]

But then tempo is worse then button so how does that work?

[white wasp]

They need to be even or if tempo gets harder it needs a green window buff

Like last year

[burnt sequoia]

What u mean ? It’s even

[pliant jay]

They made 2k dirt now

[split lintel]

High strength lock guards or inside bigs could be fun again if they fixed this fading

[radiant solstice]

This help me get to rookie 4 to started 3

[burnt sequoia]

Less room for error on tempo than button

[peak pewter]

Shooting so easy if you can’t shoot over 65% just delete the game bruh 😂

[shy mesa]

With tempo u gotta green twice then, w button once

[white wasp]

Fax

[radiant solstice]

I can shoot pretty good

[wheat dagger]

Maybe now my high rebounding would be buffed cos there’s more misses

[white wasp]

If they are gonna make it so tempo needs double green they need to buff the green window if button is gonna stay easy as hell

[pliant jay]

Idk why people are acting slow, when tempo shooting was introduced they always said it would have an additional boost if used

[burnt sequoia]

^

[shy mesa]

That’s what I’m saying I think it’s balanced as it is

[white wasp]

There was said to be no boost this year

[white wasp]

Which is why its only one timing

That's literally why it changed

[sour sand]

it wasnt supposed to have that boost this year, they just messed up with the first tempo patch

[pliant jay]

Because they took out high risk, but that wouldn’t make any sense if it showed already it gives a boost

[white wasp]

It is, the make percentages are basically the same, people just don't like seeing the slightly late. They should just remove that feedback

It should only show the tempo green

That would make people shut up

[burnt sequoia]

^

[shy mesa]

I’m my opinion tempo or button is a preference

[burnt sequoia]

No

[shy mesa]

It doesn’t give a boost like said

[sour sand]

it can be once they make it even

[burnt sequoia]

Tempo is the obvious winner here

[pliant jay]

I just feel like people are crying for something that isn’t going to help regardless. At the end of the day most sorry casuals are gonna remain sorry with or without tempo or fades

[shy mesa]

I see button people go 7/7 aswel think I might be a skill issue in youre side

[white wasp]

Casuals are always gonna cry period

[pliant jay]

wether or not if you tempo or dont, if you’re sorry you’re sorry

[sour sand]

the game is good if casuals stink

[burnt sequoia]

Definitely not a skill issue

[shy mesa]

Well it’s the same green window so what is it then?

[white wasp]

😭

[shy mesa]

Cashout shoots square he green aswel

[burnt sequoia]

Not

[shy mesa]

Explain

[burnt sequoia]

Lemme ask u a question do u have to time a tempo shot?

[shy mesa]

Yes?

[pliant jay]

you just have to have a more open shot with button, tempo is based on releasing so obviously it’s gonna be easier to flick than to hold. It could be the same green window but different openings if that makes sense ?

[white wasp]

Button would match your release que so that would basically be the same shi

[burnt sequoia]

Basically what I’m saying

[shy mesa]

I still think it’s a preference.

[burnt sequoia]

^

[pliant jay]

Definitely a preference with what you’re most comfortable with, personally I made the switch in 25 so I been using it since then but people are clowning for using it this yr??

Why would I change it because it’s more simple than the other?

[shy mesa]

I’ve been since 25 aswel

[white wasp]

Shooting easy was easy 25 as well

It just had rng so you literally had to miss

[pliant jay]

to a certain extent though

[shy mesa]

I mean I don’t get you’re point, we could green our shot miss our tempo it won’t go in.

[white wasp]

Fax

[pliant jay]

and idk why people are crying about fades as if people weren’t rari slide fading corners literally the whole yr

[white wasp]

Definitely miss excellents

[vital thicket]

when this update comin

[shy mesa]

If we miss time the tempo it ain’t going in, so I don’t get his point it’s a bit weird.

[white wasp]

Yeah

I think shooting is too easy in general

I mean this is what happens with no rng though

[shy mesa]

The worst players can shoot tbf.

[pliant jay]

When was there ever a hard shooting 2k though

[burnt sequoia]

My point is that it’s just broken af that someone that abuse tempo

[pliant jay]

besides maybe 21???

[shy mesa]

Last year RNG was to much tho

[pliant jay]

Current

[white wasp]

It's crazy because there are still people shooting 30 and 40% in this game

[pliant jay]

and those are the same people crying about tempo and fading is my point

[shy mesa]

After 3 shots the game made u miss almost every time last year

[pliant jay]

So why did 2k let the causal fanbase decide on which route the game should go

is my question

[shy mesa]

All I’m saying this update won’t affect the good people, there just nerfing the people that shouldn’t be greening either way.

[white wasp]

2k does stuff that doesn't make sense all the time

[zealous pewter]

I was doing something lol

[white wasp]

Like adding sniper badge

[zealous pewter]

let's do it

[white wasp]

Or limitless takeoff

Or making certain defensive attributes not matter

Every year its something

[fading grove]

nah the fading gotta go fr I don’t see a normal jumpshot being shot any game I play besides a lock in the corner 😭

[pliant jay]

fading has been a thing though

[shy mesa]

Tbf I got 95 perimeter I don’t feel a single bit of it

[white wasp]

I swear without fades 90% of the 2k26 "comp" is dog shi

[pliant jay]

people were fading in 25, definitely in 24, and in 23

[fading grove]

not that consistent

[white wasp]

It barely matter

[fading grove]

there’s a difference between now and then

[pliant jay]

You’re crazy if you say people weren’t consistently fading in 24

[burnt sequoia]

Yea they are abusing it this year

[pliant jay]

you’re even more crazy if you’re saying people weren’t consistently shooting corner fades in 25. Reason it probably wasn’t every play is because there was quick drops

Stops

[shy mesa]

Fading should be consistent in my opinion, they just gotta rework the perimeter defense.

[pliant jay]

there aren’t any quick stops this yr or atleast gud 1s

That’s a fact

[white wasp]

All defense needs a rework

Blocks, steals

Defense being able to keep up with offense

Bumps

[burnt sequoia]

Chase downs don’t even exist

[white wasp]

Basically

[shy mesa]

I swear it ain’t worth to put higher then 84 block cause u ain’t getting one either way.

[white wasp]

You might get a lucky block from plus 2 the badge to hall of fame

[pliant jay]

All they really need to do is patch bumps, let people get a few bumps when dribbling and they wouldn’t cry anymore

[fading grove]

why should fading be consistent when players in the nba don’t even fade that often 😭 I can see a fade every now and then but every play soon as they get the ball kind of ridiculous

[pliant jay]

I literally get chase downs with 2 way little to no block attribute

[fading grove]

all you gotta do is play sides people don’t even wanna take a stand still shot atp

[shy mesa]

My big with High Flying Denier legend, gets a block maybe once every 10-15 games.

[white wasp]

Fades being an issue is more of the defense in the game then the fade green window imo but they both need a touch

[fading grove]

just fade to the corner or to the wing

[shy mesa]

If people play sides I shoot a stand still behind the screen

[pliant jay]

Idk, you must be playing against scrubs. But go to stage and play 3s, you’re forsure gonna get peaked before you get faded

[fading grove]

you’d be the first person I’ve seen take a stand still I play the park they stay looking for a fade idk why 😭

[shy mesa]

Mfers just throw the cross over and peak u

[pliant jay]

Exactly, or escape to crab and that’s literally what a guard is supposed to do

So would u rather deal with the crab or the fade

[shy mesa]

Fade

[pliant jay]

exactly

[shy mesa]

If they crab u it’s done

[pliant jay]

it’s a chance of u contesting that fade, ur not contesting that crab

fact

[fading grove]

you only getting crabbed if you not playing defense right 😂

[cloud beacon]

yo when dose the patch drop?

[chilly compass]

Fades is cooooked?

[shy mesa]

I mean people need to just jump at fades, they just be there w their hand up thinking there contesting it.

[white wasp]

Word

You can not get crabbed

[pliant jay]

bro, if u get popped by the screen and im already in a escape, you’re getting crabbed

regardless of what you play

[shy mesa]

Then y’all ain’t never playing good guards, crabbing ain’t that hard.

[white wasp]

They be trying it

[fading grove]

if I’m getting screened my big should be hedging and then therefore no crab cuz my big there to help regardless

[white wasp]

It be a TO or a block

Or the big is there

I've only seen cones get crabbed in isolation

[pliant jay]

And ur big is either gonna get baited thinking they’re gonna fade or he’s gonna jump and get crabbed

They can close out , yea

[fading grove]

he shouldn’t jump unless he see a shot coming and if the other big roll he can have that 2

[shy mesa]

I mean 3s is cooked either way, a 2 is a turn over.

[pliant jay]

Then 1 would be leaving the corner, it’s gonna be a 3 regardless if the team knows what they’re doing unless the defense is better than the offense and that depends on the player

But I can say, ive seen it happen multiple times & im not the best player, but im top 300 in WI with 85w% so yea

[fair harness]

When is the patch out for est?

[pliant jay]

not a brag but to say ik what im tb

[fading grove]

you talking about a screen how is the big already in the corner after a screen crab

[shy mesa]

I mean if ur big hedging, it’s a easy pop out for the center aswel.

[pliant jay]

I was saying that if they were to help, the guard is gonna fry the big regardless if you fully switch.

[inner flower]

Watch as everyone shift from point guard to Center Build lol fades are gone

[white wasp]

I just need people to miss so theres more rebounds

[shy mesa]

That’s a fact aswel.

[urban drum]

oo so they nerfed tempo to the ground? 🤔

[fading grove]

depends if your big has no defense yeah but bigs can be made into lock big poppers this year so it really depend

[shy mesa]

Only for people that shouldn’t be greening either way, the bad peoples

[pliant jay]

Maybe a 6’9 popper, and even so if you’re going against a 6’1-6’2 guard with 95 speed 90 agility, he’s gonna get fried regardless

[shy mesa]

80 speed, 75 agility ain’t keeping up with a guard.

[pliant jay]

He’s not fast enough to stay there and by the time u switch off he could be fading already

[shy mesa]

The guard just has to run to the side L2 cancel once’s, and he’s open for a fade.

[magic mica]

so i greening both tempo & timing?

[urban drum]

there making it like last years right?

[fading grove]

I’ve seen comp vs comp where they have a 6’9 and a lock on a guard switching each time one of them get beat it’s possible to still play defense on a big

[shy mesa]

Nope

[fading grove]

it’s really about communication

[magic mica]

u gotta green tempo & timing ya?

[pliant jay]

Yea it comes back to how good the player actually is vs the other & I see no problem with that.

[urban drum]

damn so you still only needa green the tempo?

[grave rover]

We gone see who really comp tmrw

Good luck

[urban drum]

yessirski

[shy mesa]

That’s if the big sits there with screens, but if the big is on you’re guard. Who in the right mind won’t let the guards iso? If the big is on you’re guard it’s always iso.

[pliant jay]

All I’m saying is 2k helped casuals by basically dumbing down the game for the

Them

[magic mica]

greening tempo & timing ez asf

[urban drum]

prepare for your irls to sell you

[magic mica]

been doing it since 25

all these new rhythm shooters r buns

[pliant jay]

there’s literally people cheating and they’re worried about tempo

[gusty wave]

the new update is you have to green tempo and timing? or am i tripping

[fading grove]

if the guard good he gonna iso yeah but these 6’2s out here don’t iso fr they be screen made a lot of the time

[pliant jay]

People literally cheated the whole event

[urban drum]

oh yeah, all of basketball godz was straight zenners and elite controllers

[magic mica]

tryna found out too

[shy mesa]

Only thing u need is a L2 cancel and the big ain’t catching u.

[magic mica]

so we gotta green both anyone know?

[fading grove]

I’m just saying it’s possible to play defense on the big vs a guard it’s not impossible

[pliant jay]

Ion think so

Still gon be the same

[shy mesa]

No they just made window smaller

[pliant jay]

just gon have more ghost contests

Which is literally slow

[high sleet]

hi

[magic mica]

wym

[pliant jay]

so if somebody cant stay infront of you, you get penalized because they can’t play defense and get a ghost contest

[magic mica]

thers gonna b no more ghost contest

[urban drum]

i thought the patch was fixing ghost contests

[shy mesa]

They just patched the people that shouldn’t be greening either way, if u been cash for multiple 2ks above average you’ll be fine.

[pliant jay]

Exactly

[urban drum]

depending how tempo is looking i might just go back square

[magic mica]

i’ve been rhyming since 25

[pliant jay]

button shootin stil gon be dirt

[urban drum]

me too

[pliant jay]

that’s why I’m not sure why they’re complaining

button shooting died after 24

[magic mica]

^

only the trash kids complain bout rhythm

[shy mesa]

Ik

[urban drum]

usually yea

i mean

[magic mica]

now they call it “tempo” shooting smhh

[urban drum]

i had no problem with rhythm shooting, just fades

[fading grove]

so about 24 hours later I finally got my rewards 😂

[pliant jay]

I feel like it depends on what your attributes are

[magic mica]

rhythm always been meta since 25

[urban drum]

i wonder if my 81 3pt is cooked

[shy mesa]

Cash money

[pliant jay]

I got bailed on a 20 game against cheaters and never came back

Now if you have a 81 3pt shooting consistent fades, then I understand why you’d be mad

[fading grove]

I got to 8 teammate got error coded

tried again the next day got to 7 and played a zenner didn’t even try after that

[pliant jay]

but if you have a 99 3pt or a 99 mid, then I expect you to hit fades

[urban drum]

jm fine w high 3 balls hitting fades

[shy mesa]

I got 96 middy 90 3pt I shoot 78% the patch ain’t hitting me

[pliant jay]

I got like 4 different builds specifically for this and imma make another tmr just to test it out

[urban drum]

81 3 ball 85 middy shooting 72% am i cooked or na

[pliant jay]

99 mid

I went 99 mid with cap breakers just for the legend badges

[shy mesa]

I got 7 builds already they took my money

[pliant jay]

and they supposedly messed up blur take???

That’s literally the best take in the game ?

[shy mesa]

Blur was to op tho

[pliant jay]

so mamba take wasn’t?? 😭

[urban drum]

blur fs prolly got gutted

[shy mesa]

Tbf the unlimited stamina one is worse.

Dk what it’s called

[urban drum]

hydration hero

[shy mesa]

Yh holy

They dribble the whole time until ur out of stam

[pliant jay]

Exactly, cuz if they have custom take they could have a 99 3 and a 99 mid with high perimeter depending on attributes and with hydration take they never get tired

[urban drum]

definitely gonna see that one. alot more

[pliant jay]

so patching 1 and not all makes no sense

[shy mesa]

W my take I got 97 3 pt 99 pd 99 middy

It’s to op

[urban drum]

im jus worried my favorite build finna be buns cuz the low 3pt

[pliant jay]

see and with hydration take you’d never miss, so why patch a take that’s mainly based on taking the 2?

[urban drum]

💔

[shy mesa]

Once I got take I’m fading from everywhere on court

[pliant jay]

or deep bomber

[shy mesa]

I use deep bomber on 2s

I get ball from inbound and instant quick shoot

[urban drum]

imma be inna lab tmrw tryna see if my whole build got patched

[novel sequoia]

patch bet not be trash

[urban drum]

imma lowk be tight if i gotta go back to button shooting

latency on it be havin me 50 asl

[deep harbor]

Any one has high level crew

[main bay]

My crew is level 22

Idk if you consider that high tho

[obsidian basin]

Hi

[vital glacier]

Hi

[mighty void]

Hi

[main bay]

Hi

[tired nest]

Hi

[dusty root]

hi

[urban drum]

Hi

[shy spear]

Blur is now pretty much useless

And watch poster machine also be useless

This change only implies ppl to just be toxic and use deep bomber and hydration hero

[spark relic]

Do u guys think that 99 def and offensive rebound is worth it

[broken citrus]

is rhythm shooting green both now ?

[tribal geyser]

The patch is out

[tribal geyser]

Maybe

[fallen bough]

It’s at 5am

[tribal geyser]

Damn ok

Let’s go tho

[quaint mauve]

Yo

[broken citrus]

i don’t need a maybe need a yes or no

[urban drum]

2k25 p2 loading

[frozen remnant]

ngl

[frozen remnant]

no

it was not said in patch notes

[broken citrus]

no i’m saying when the patch come

[frozen remnant]

it was said the timing will be slightly more difficult

nothing abt timing both

but ngl

us gaurds are gonna have to use our brains to score now

[golden crane]

What time is the patch coming

In a few hours?

5 am what like pacific time

[broken citrus]

says improve the reliability of rhythm shooting inputs to ensure timing and tempo to register consistently

[crude hare]

https://youtube.com/shorts/jDLLYBx8uZk?si=XMLb6gp1Kb4JnxIz

[rigid magnet]

that’s like when you stick shoot and it doesn’t register as a stick shot

they just made it so stick shooting has less of a green window, not 2x green

[vivid saffron]

Let’s goo all the bots will be exposed

[rigid magnet]

atleast from thr patch notes

[vivid saffron]

Middy fades dead

[rigid magnet]

and fades are harder

[vivid saffron]

Glitchy dribbling dead

tempo spam a little harder

[rigid magnet]

if defense didn’t get touched they’ll still be viable i assume

[vivid saffron]

bc all the whales (people who spend hundreds on the game) make meta dribble builds

You can’t scare away customers like that

[rigid magnet]

i agree

i’m just saying i still think fades will be the meta

ideally just the npc’s that do them won’t be able to

like timmyturner47 with a 27 win % just middy fading and not missing

[vivid saffron]

average player got a 50-60 win percentage

[rigid magnet]

i’d say even less tbh

[vivid saffron]

Average players will struggle

[rigid magnet]

most causal people i see have 30-40

[vivid saffron]

everyone who’s like 85+ wp might be ight

[vivid saffron]

they made all dribble pull-ups harder

[rigid magnet]

but i agree hopefully if you suck at the game you can’t just escape spam around a screen and middy fade

[rigid magnet]

ik im saying because contest is so bad i still think they’ll be good

but we won’t know until we play it

[vivid saffron]

idk why 2k even released that fake contest patch

[frozen remnant]

yhu heard if u gotta make a 2nd patch then u just didnt try hard enough the first

[shadow harbor]

Wonder if button will be good now

[frozen remnant]

no

same

if not worse

[vivid saffron]

prolly cause it’s a delicate slider

move it slightly too much all fades are unusable

[shadow harbor]

Patch might make or break the game due to how many ppl cry ab it

[vivid saffron]

either way it was too little

[vivid saffron]

nb crying about it

[shadow harbor]

It’s goin come dw

[frozen remnant]

cominjg soon fas

fs

[vivid saffron]

we gon laugh at the bums who crying bc they can’t spam the same move every play anymore

[shy rivet]

Is faded patched ?

[frozen remnant]

yes'

[shy rivet]

Dam I made a 6,6 just for fades am I cooked

[frozen remnant]

yes

[vivid saffron]

yes

[frozen remnant]

ngl @north sinew nice way to scam ur custos

making them make build then completely changing the game

[vivid saffron]

W patch, ppl spent mad money abusing an unbalanced mechanic

26 would be unplayable by March

[carmine knoll]

@paper finch hi

[shy rivet]

Is the patches dropped already?

[frozen remnant]

yea i see that, but ppl dead just picked up the meta, so for them to change it after people dropping 100's of dollars otg

[carmine knoll]

What

[frozen remnant]

is just getting over

[vivid saffron]

there must’ve been a tsunami of reports and shi if they’re changing the game like this

I was one of them

[frozen remnant]

i could never

[vivid saffron]

They’ll spend 100 more on the next meta build

[frozen remnant]

and that will be?

[vivid saffron]

Idk

[frozen remnant]

Theres no new meta

wont be

[vivid saffron]

They are bots

[vivid saffron]

meta is that every build is the same

[frozen remnant]

false

[vivid saffron]

all of them from 5’10 to 7’0

True

[frozen remnant]

my 6'2 different than a 6'9

or a 6'5

or a 5'9

[vivid saffron]

6’2 and 6’9 got the same do it all templates

One just got more attributes than the other

[frozen remnant]

exactly so its not the same?

do u hear ya self

[vivid saffron]

it’s the same type of builds

[frozen remnant]

if i get a 92 perim on my 6'2 but a 6'6 cant afford it on their build\

is it the same build?

[vivid saffron]

They can just tune the wingspan

[frozen remnant]

that doesnt get them more attribute points as height does

[vivid saffron]

6’2s 6’6s and 6’9s can get 92 prim

[frozen remnant]

but 6'2s can get that with a 99 three

asnd a 97 ball

and a 82 pass

[vivid saffron]

6’9s can get 99 whatever in other atttibutes and 82 pass

It’s the exact same do it all builds

[frozen remnant]

bro u can get the 99

[vivid saffron]

6’9s you get 99 block

[frozen remnant]

but u wont be able to put ur stats there because of ur height

you get less attribute points to spend the taller you are

if you dont know that then ur ed

[vivid saffron]

well yea duh if not small builds will be useless

its incentives

baseline knowledge

[frozen remnant]

so that argues my point all builds arent the same and ur agreeing thank you.

[vivid saffron]

all builds can be the same

[frozen remnant]

cannot

[vivid saffron]

because they have the same do it all template

Yes they can

Lmao

[frozen remnant]

a 6'9 isnt getting the 99 three ball

its doesnt get it

[vivid saffron]

“Do it all” doesn’t translate to “elite at one thing”

[atomic rampart]

When the patch ?

[frozen remnant]

a 6'9 isnt getting a 99 ball

[vivid saffron]

bra

[frozen remnant]

or a 91 speed and agility

[vivid saffron]

6’2s and 6’9s can have 89 3ball and still be super elite

99 is overkill now that fades are patched

[frozen remnant]

false

the badges

are worth fs

then u can max +1 and +2

defensive bvadges

then ur unstoppable

[vivid saffron]

You can do the exact same thing for most builds

[frozen remnant]

not taller builds

[vivid saffron]

Yes taller builds

You know how many 87-90 speed/agility locks got legend on ball and hof set shot? lol

[frozen remnant]

smaller builds have a more diverse builder for offense as taller is more all around but lower stats across the board

[vivid saffron]

6’7 6’8 type locks

[frozen remnant]

whats abt the other badges

ball handling

finishing

the lock just isnt getting what a gaurd is

[vivid saffron]

capbreakers for ball handling to get 86 ball handle and 75 speed with ball for all silver badges

[frozen remnant]

same with any build above 6'5

[vivid saffron]

And u can max+1 to get them to gold

[frozen remnant]

[high yarrow]

hi

[pale root]

I used to pray for days like this

[reef vector]

They killed the game

[zinc pewter]

what’s in the update?

[worldly bloom]

😭

[worldly bloom]

they made the game better

[open flume]

is the patch live ?

[surreal river]

chillin on low plate theatre. iso 85 wp vet 1. need popper

[patent thunder]

I need members in my crew, currently have 17 members and we’re lvl19

[shrewd haven]

I don’t see anything about fixing defence in the update

[proper edge]

Hi

[fiery remnant]

All they did was make zens better lol

[proper edge]

Yeah fr they need to ban people with zens before anything

[fiery remnant]

They won’t lol

Zenners bring in money

[proper edge]

Yeah but always hope

[fiery remnant]

Hope?

[elfin ridge]

You blind then

[proper edge]

Nah hope they ban them

[fiery remnant]

They banned refunders

Because it hurt their pockets

[fiery remnant]

Bro a nba store tab is in limited edition rn like wtf 😔

[proper edge]

Yeah they also needs to patch the glitches for the track people be getting a free million vc

[shrewd haven]

Maybe, all I seen was they fixed ghost contest

[fiery remnant]

Nah

Blitz are back

[proper edge]

What even is ghost contest

[shrewd haven]

Na I get that but everyone wanted a fix to the contest system and there isn’t any

[dark leaf]

got overnight bball if u guys want it

[open flume]

is the patch live rn?

[atomic rampart]

^

[shrewd haven]

In 40

[fiery remnant]

No?

Everyone was complaining about tempo shooting and fades and they still will

Fades and tempo wasn’t the problem it’s the fact there’s no rng

[open flume]

fades are the problem u tweaking gng

[fiery remnant]

Okay if fades are the problem no one should complain after patch right?

[shrewd haven]

And also contest system bro and no no no, that’s not the problem, the problem literally is we can’t contest which causes all the other problems

[fiery remnant]

?

Like im 6’4 and contest up to 6’9

But that’s how it should be

[wet kestrel]

button shooting is fun. tempo shooting is rather annoying

[shrewd haven]

I’m 6”4 too and still get shot over when I jump at a 6”9

[tropic flax]

Update actually out for anyone yet?

[fiery remnant]

What’s ur block at?

[shrewd haven]

64 bro

[wet kestrel]

add fades and zens and thats pretty much what bballgodz was!

✌️ 💔

[fiery remnant]

I mean yh 99 everything

🤣🤣🤣

[fiery remnant]

I got see you playing defensive

[shrewd haven]

91 prem, 70 strength

[fiery remnant]

If you got all adrenaline you should get a contest

[shrewd haven]

Don’t get me wrong I get way more contests than when the game originally came out

[fiery remnant]

Strength doesn’t affect contests I believe

[shrewd haven]

Na it doesn’t but does help with defending

[fiery remnant]

Gotta remember as well set shot + deadeye has a very good boost

I mean imma still give Ronnie my money

Ngl

Halloween otw

🤕

[shrewd haven]

True, to be honest when I think about it, I think it’s just tempo and tempo fades that just unconstestable

Hopefully they actually fixed tempo and it balances out the contest system

[fiery remnant]

Ngl bro it’s still gonna get complained about

[shrewd haven]

Yea it probably will, community love to complain even if it isn’t right what they complaining about 🤣

[fiery remnant]

Watch bro I’m telling you this “sharper tempo” just made zens better

Because another problem was tempo wouldn’t register sometimes

[magic ginkgo]

I have a theory boys

What if

Now hear me out

[fiery remnant]

…

[shrewd haven]

Bro what does sharper tempo even mean? Cause it don’t really sound like a negative

[magic ginkgo]

What if 2k finds a way to remove wired connection accessibility on 2k

[fiery remnant]

Makes no sense

[dusty tusk]

Why would they do that?

[magic ginkgo]

Which would then remove the zennnning issue?!

[shrewd haven]

Some people can’t afford wireless controllers

[magic ginkgo]

🤔

[fiery remnant]

You play wired for no delay

[magic ginkgo]

I know

But as a community

[fiery remnant]

Nah

[dusty tusk]

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard

[fiery remnant]

L idea

[magic ginkgo]

To combat cheating we may need to combat that

[magic ginkgo]

Fr?

[fiery remnant]

Nope

[dusty tusk]

Ya 😭

[magic ginkgo]

Y’all must don’t play comp pro am

[fiery remnant]

?

[magic ginkgo]

The cheating got outta hand bro

[shrewd haven]

I don’t think it dumb just wouldn’t happen

[dusty tusk]

Zens have bluetooth

[magic ginkgo]

The state of cheating is so bad

[magic ginkgo]

Ong?

[fiery remnant]

I don’t think you guys remember 2k 20 or 21

[dusty tusk]

Yeah

[magic ginkgo]

Oh nvm then I did not know that

[fiery remnant]

✌️

[magic ginkgo]

Dang .

Thought I was on to some

[dusty tusk]

I might be wrong tho let me look it up I swear they do tho

[shrewd haven]

See I rather just have no rng and have cheaters than for us to get penalised for cheaters and they still cheat anyways

[dusty tusk]

Ya they do

[magic ginkgo]

Dang .

[fiery remnant]

Rng only way to fix zens

[magic ginkgo]

Bro like

[fiery remnant]

It’s like 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[magic ginkgo]

If y’all in the 2k squad finder chat

Yall would’ve seen this weekend for basketball gods

[open flume]

they should just use a better anti cheat

[fiery remnant]

?

[coral hound]

Patch drops at 5am EST

[fiery remnant]

Anti cheat and zens lol

🤦

[magic ginkgo]

They was going crazy looking for zennnnerrrss

[shrewd haven]

They just need better anti cheats then 🤣

[magic ginkgo]

No anti cheat on console

[fiery remnant]

They did nothing

[magic ginkgo]

I’m saying in the squad finder 2k discord

[fiery remnant]

Did you not see basketball godz

[magic ginkgo]

Read what I said gang

[proper edge]

Tempo shooting is nerfed now?

[fiery remnant]

Alleged

[proper edge]

Going back to square

[shrewd haven]

Maybe

[fiery remnant]

?

[proper edge]

In season 2

[magic ginkgo]

Once they fix the screens we’re good

[fiery remnant]

Patch is live from today

[proper edge]

the patch notes said they tightened green windows

[proper edge]

oh

bruh

[magic ginkgo]

The screens on these 75 strength 7’4 centers od

[fiery remnant]

Fr

[magic ginkgo]

Illegal scream after illegal screen

[fiery remnant]

Slightly tightened Rhythm Shooting windows for both Tempo and Timing.

But I’m confused you only time your tempo

[proper edge]

We ALL going back to square

[fiery remnant]

So is it really a nerf

[magic ginkgo]

Rhythm was supposed to only be for low three point builds any way

How I see it

[fiery remnant]

Ngl

Fading was never broken

It was shifty shooter

🤔

[magic ginkgo]

A 4:41 am troll???

[fiery remnant]

Yall ain’t ready for that one

[magic ginkgo]

It does give a 80% boost

But

[fiery remnant]

Yes

[magic ginkgo]

No twin it’s the game

The fading green window doesn’t move

[fiery remnant]

That’s what you all wanted

[magic ginkgo]

Don’t say you all

[fiery remnant]

It called no rng

[magic ginkgo]

I liked RNG a lil

[fiery remnant]

🤣🤣🤣

[magic ginkgo]

Cause at least it made people dunk n stuff

Like bro

[wet kestrel]

STILL have no-idea why they did they

[magic ginkgo]

U shouldn’t be able to have a 99 stat

In old 2ks u couldn’t either

[fiery remnant]

It’s how godz is but in this game it was so bad

So bad

[wet kestrel]

yup

[magic ginkgo]

They patched that behind the back for footers

[fiery remnant]

I saw 7’4s with deep bomber

[wet kestrel]

✌️

[fiery remnant]

?

[magic ginkgo]

That huge behind the back

The centers got

15 minutes until change boys 🙏🏾

[frigid python]

You can’t get db on a 7’4 it’s impossible

[fiery remnant]

In basketball godz

Do you want clip or?

Like what

[frigid python]

Oh wait what how bg only gave attributes no animations or takeovers

[dark leaf]

Anyone need early NFL bets?! Text me am online 💰

rhythm will always be the better option

[noble leaf]

The visual cue was great in 24 idk why they changed it

[white wasp]

They aren't adding timing to it so might as well stop hoping

[noble leaf]

[clear kelp]

Damn lowkey they should tho

[white wasp]

If they add timing tempo will get a green window boost again

Theres a reason its only one timing

[clear kelp]

Yeah u right

[noble leaf]

If they do that they would give rhythm a bigger advantage

[clear kelp]

I’m thinking bout 25 but there was rng

[golden dust]

[noble leaf]

Yes corner fades feel like trash rn

[clear kelp]

Thank god
