🔋gameplay

[night beacon]

It’s the same after the patch

[versed pendant]

They don’t let you see timing for tempo on opponent anymore

That will stop the bitching😂

[rancid patrol]

The window isn’t the problem its the hitch

[versed pendant]

That’s a dub on Mike W

[fallow rock]

Tempo fades were def too easy but now they're damn near impossible. They shouldn't have nerfed it this much. That's typical for 2k patches tho

[versed pendant]

Only way to fade is with button now. Which makes no sense. They should be equal

[low tinsel]

@left tangle yu can give me patch 1 back please how i cant dribble im ok to nerf fade but dribble what u need im do run without fade mmmmmh??? They double pg if i iso they just reach and get plucked i think they trollin me

[fallow rock]

Yeah, the button is easier for me at least. Makes no sense lol

[night beacon]

Should’ve never even introduced tempo into the game

Button for life

[fallow rock]

I like the feeling of tempo. Just gives more control

[versed pendant]

I think they did cuz it doesn’t rely on servers and latency as much as button

[reef nest]

I Switched to tempo purely for Godz and got used to it next thing you know it gets nerfed like nice bro

[versed pendant]

They fired to make everyone go to rhythm

[fallow rock]

I do think you should have to time tempo and timing though. Just tempo doesn't make sense to me

[versed pendant]

They too cheap upgrade server and fix latndcy

[versed pendant]

But that’s 2k25

[crisp delta]

The bump steals are broken asf

[low tinsel]

tempo really good thats got no delay to shoot like button got late early thats bad

[night beacon]

Feel like this 2k got the least latency

[versed pendant]

If you have to time two why would
You go tempo if there is no buff!

[fallow rock]

Yeah, should have made it like 2k25 but make it green or miss.

[low tinsel]

i just got graded out first game small guard

[versed pendant]

But 2k25 had a buff

[karmic marsh]

then why would you do tempo with no boost

[versed pendant]

Exactly

[sour owl]

99 3 and why can’t i consistently hit open fades it makes no sense

[night beacon]

Sure buddy

[versed pendant]

Why would I time two things when I can just time 1

[night beacon]

Your patched

[versed pendant]

And not get a boost

[toxic parrot]

So. This game is ahh

[brave glen]

real

[night beacon]

No it wasn’t 😂

[brave glen]

skill issue

[night beacon]

Yea turn around fades from the logo is fair shooting

[versed pendant]

It was green or miss on both in 25

[toxic parrot]

https://youtube.com/shorts/BauD-BHAkMk?si=h95TLWmoSnqmOvia

[crisp delta]

Like bruh in the 1st minute in the first quarter just seen the pg get like 5 turnovers

[night beacon]

For sure

[brave glen]

they made temp impossible

[toxic parrot]

Tell me nba players drop the ball like they ain touched a ball before

Rec is a turnover competition

[night beacon]

Anyone that thinks tempo is impossible just isn’t good and needed the crutch from the start 😂

You finna sit here and tell me it’s not way easier on tempo ?

[pastel sonnet]

ay anyone know a good jumper for a 6'11 big with an 80 3pt and 70 middy? I been bricking hella and i feel like i need sum new

[night beacon]

How my homie going 10/10 with tempo from the rec if it’s impossible now

[fierce tiger]

Onb

[night beacon]

Bro what are you yapping 😭

[toxic parrot]

Yall talking bout shooting when everyone is kawhi. Even wit a 60 steal.

I got ah 25 and had 10 steals. Lmk how that make sense.

[night beacon]

Adapted in his first game on😭😭

Yea right

Bro I’m literally the one saying it’s not hard

Like what

[zinc wolf]

standstill barely got nerfed ts juss got a hitch

fades got double nerfed

[toxic parrot]

Yall still on the shooting shi and ignoring the dribbling issue

[zinc wolf]

[frozen mirage]

Ppl be so confident talking about stuff they dont know

[night beacon]

Cause you just bad lmao

Exactly

[zinc wolf]

we could agree on sum lmao

[toxic parrot]

Game is ahh

[night beacon]

Right it’s just a hitch for certain people lmao

[frozen mirage]

Tempo has not always been same level as button

[zinc wolf]

nah everyone gettin a hitch

[sour owl]

nerfed the running hesi thing when you flick up and bump steals are god tier how they want me to dribble

[zinc wolf]

but its not impossible to shoot with it

[onyx phoenix]

cashout went 8/28 this game is cooked💔 they ruined the game just so the old heads would shutup

[sour owl]

tempo was leagues easier than button have you even played 2k26

[zinc wolf]

no way bro

[night beacon]

So then why are some people not saying anything about the shooting like what

[toxic parrot]

That’s the real issue is you can’t dribble now. Use an escape you gon get ripped

[zinc wolf]

say u lying

[onyx phoenix]

i swear 2 go

[frozen mirage]

You are objectively wrong, its not an opinion

[onyx phoenix]

god

[night beacon]

Cashout uses button so idk wtf he was doing

[toxic parrot]

This shooting convo really dead fr. Dribbling is ahh

[onyx phoenix]

go look at ts

[night beacon]

Facts

[wicked stump]

🚽

[sour owl]

what’s an escape bro ts is called “auto turnover animation” in my animations

[frozen mirage]

2klabs proved it

[zinc wolf]

tempo was easier then button

[night beacon]

Pros say tempo was OP so yea idk what you on about

[zinc wolf]

i juss dont think it was worth guards basically getting triple nerfed

[night beacon]

You just tryna cope for being bad you need that OP shooting

[onyx phoenix]

0/10 ragebait your trash after this update as well

[zinc wolf]

[violet coral]

Do 2k devs test out their own game before releasing updates ?

[nimble wadi]

[sour owl]

[night beacon]

People complaining about not being able to dribble in people faces lmao

[onyx phoenix]

[wary holly]

Im not a super sweat bro but im not just losing either

[wary holly]

While avg the same as you

If you even play rec

[zinc wolf]

theyre fixing 5am tmr

[wary holly]

Seen that happen

[sour owl]

how many points do you avg bro

that’s how it’s supposed to be bro you shouldn’t need to play defense to play defense

[wary holly]

26.7

[night beacon]

That’s realistic

[zinc wolf]

how many assists?

[wary holly]

13.6

[zinc wolf]

realistic 2k = bad 2k

[night beacon]

Not at all

[zinc wolf]

literally every realistic 2k is bad

[wary holly]

26.7 ppg & 13.6 ast

[analog stump]

English isn’t my first language so can someone explain how the patch coming tomorrow morning means?

[zinc wolf]

so 25 was good?

nd 18

[night beacon]

18 was not realistic at all

[sour owl]

all the least realistic 2ks have been the best tho, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 current gen

[zinc wolf]

cs i remember the best ones were 16, 17, 20, 21, nd 22

[faint sail]

25 was horrible

[zinc wolf]

even some sayn 23

[sour owl]

no 19?

[zinc wolf]

all unrealistic 2ks btw

[faint sail]

yes bro

[jade summit]

They listened to the rec old heads who hate all types of offense

[zinc wolf]

that one too

[onyx phoenix]

@regal thicket words can’t express my hatred

[zinc wolf]

19 was fye i juss wasnt playin fr

heard bout it tho

[sour owl]

19 got my favorite dribbling

[zinc wolf]

19 was realistic?

[wary holly]

just gotta lower bumps some & fix the hitch then it’ll be ighhh

[sour owl]

it was beautiful

[sour owl]

no not at all

people was getting shoved in 19

no fouls called

[zinc wolf]

lmaoooo i remember that 2k

shi use to be so fun

till comp start abusing ts

mannn this a cheaters heaven

[fathom mantle]

i think they should keep the hitch

[zinc wolf]

now only zenners could fade

[sour owl]

but all the realistic 2ks have favored the cheaters

[fathom mantle]

it keeps the game balanced

[sour owl]

this is lowest level of rage bait

[zinc wolf]

all i see is bad takes in here

[hexed tartan]

Wrong

[sour owl]

the main part is contest

[night beacon]

If you can’t hit after the patch it shows you buns I’m sorry

[zinc wolf]

because only the cheaters could shoot consistent

[night beacon]

Sucks to
Suck

[sour owl]

if i can take certain shows knowing they can’t be contested + im cheating so i can’t miss

[zinc wolf]

its bad

[onyx phoenix]

rage baiting 0/10

[halcyon kestrel]

Yo, anyone having issues with using specific builds? everytime i try to use my big it crashes my game.

[fathom mantle]

it makes x have its perks and rhythm too

[wary holly]

Even though i can shoot with either so the hitch dont effect me as much i still think they should fix it though

[sour owl]

25 was heaven for cheaters because they would just shoot better than everyone else

[hexed tartan]

Ragebait?

[zinc wolf]

so would u rather only cheaters be op or everyone be op

[fathom mantle]

nope

[onyx phoenix]

just tryna make people mad and u dk wat u tb

[wary holly]

I agree lowkey

[zinc wolf]

cs ik what im choosin

[halcyon kestrel]

Yo, anyone having issues with using specific builds? everytime i try to use my big it crashes my game.

[fathom mantle]

u just dont get it

[zinc wolf]

i could shoot but i cant fade 3s nm

[sour owl]

exactly

[zinc wolf]

nd if u try to dribble u getting ripped right away

[onyx phoenix]

your probably the worst person in this chat

[sour owl]

i have made like 5 fade threes since the patch, 99 3 guard btw

[amber bobcat]

fade are back ?

[wary holly]

Yea thats how my 2 guard is he always shot fades put the escape his whole game has to change now

[zinc wolf]

were literally inna offball meta

[night beacon]

Every other 2k you’ve had to fill the bar up all the way to green

[hexed tartan]

That hitch messes up its not smooth

[night beacon]

So why is it a problem now

[wary holly]

No frrrrrr

[zinc wolf]

lmao

[sour owl]

im in the theater 2x rep averaging 3 turnovers its is outrageous

[brave glen]

na real

my 3pt finna b sk bad

[zinc wolf]

me nd my homies use 2 locks nd one 6'9 big nd juss offball

terrible meta

[night beacon]

Bro it’s always been small af at the top

[wary holly]

Getting to the rim seems to be the new thing rn 😂

[zinc wolf]

hy

[vivid crag]

Ong

[sour owl]

the only other 2k that had a actually very difficult timing was prolly 21 but you could actually get open in that 2k so it created a good skill gap

[wary holly]

Nobody fading in rec nomore havent tried any other modes yet but im about to i wanna see what people are doing in the park

[hexed tartan]

The rise of the slashers

[night beacon]

I’ve played the same since launch and every patch

[onyx phoenix]

meta=no guard,no iso, no screens, catch n shoot, l2

[night beacon]

Real hooped

[wary holly]

Hows park play?

[brave glen]

what a good time to have finishing specializtion

[wary holly]

FRRR

[zinc wolf]

no one is fading

i havent played against comp yet tho i think everyone quit lmaooo

i been on r6

[wary holly]

So what the offense look like now in there?

[wicked oar]

no fades bro

thats it

[wary holly]

Word

[zinc wolf]

literally straight bad buckets

[wary holly]

Im saying its all rim run basically?

[zinc wolf]

2s and defense win games

[hexed tartan]

Enzo has his back on rebounds when he bricks

[vast wolf]

All they had to do was fix contest lmao that’s it

[wary holly]

Nomore screens?

[sour owl]

if there was a way to consistently get open enough for a stand still i would actually support the fade nerf

[zinc wolf]

rimrun nd off ball

[wary holly]

I wouldnt have been mad at that

[zinc wolf]

still screens

[fathom mantle]

yeah

[wary holly]

Yk the type of screens i mean the screen & just sit there until you can fade out for 3

[shadow pivot]

How nerfed is tempo shooting?

[zinc wolf]

a slight buff to bump steals woulda been nice

[wary holly]

Its more screen & roll or pop?

[zinc wolf]

they overtuned ts

[zinc wolf]

nah

[fathom mantle]

patch is good just the steals are crazy imo

[vast wolf]

If u could contest the fade every time the game would be fine that would make the skill gap way bigger

[zinc wolf]

literallt sit and left right behing a screen till u get hit hard or they get ripped

[wary holly]

I agree 100% just up contest would have also been just fine

[latent flax]

They just flipped the update on its head

[night beacon]

Yea cause everyone crying cause they suck now

[wary holly]

Nah its just changing the hitch

So the fade is still gonna be hard to hit but the shot wont feel slow though

Thats what my guy was complaining about how slow his shot was feeling even set shots

[solid patio]

They should revert everything else apart from the fades

[crisp delta]

If hitch is the same of season one fade hit easy

[wary holly]

Its 2 different parts from what i read though they made dribble pull up from 3 harder to hit thats why from the mid it still feels the same & you can green it easy

[night beacon]

Feel like 2k finally listened and made a good patch and now all the tempo made shooters are crying so they are reverting it

[regal field]

they make a beautiful game and then slap it across the face w a patch 💔

[brave glen]

ig dude

[wary holly]

Taking the hitch out isn’t gonna make it easy to hit fade 3s i truly dont feel thats gonna be the case

[brave glen]

get a grip man what if they nerf button for no reason

[wary holly]

So people will still not fw it

[regal field]

i can’t dribble without getting bumped mane

[fathom mantle]

tempo shouldve never been added

[forest cloak]

Add a bigger green window to square shooting, fix steals, done game is good again

[regal field]

i’m sayin like they should’ve nerfed tempo completely and only applied the patch to tempo and keep button the same

[fathom mantle]

real

[rare aspen]

delete this patch fast

[regal field]

7’4s

[loud jay]

Y’all just made fading w a 99 3 ball all legend badges way harder than real life. Are you kidding me? I’m done why play this ? Fix it immediately PLEASE

[wary holly]

It wasnt this many tempo shooters in early access fr , youtubers & streamers started showing how easy it was & made the whole community flip to it & thats when the complaining started

[forest cloak]

Tempo shooting wasn’t fair hahahah, deadset tempo shooting should never have been added in the first place

[wary holly]

😂😂😂😂

[fathom mantle]

was to easy

[regal field]

i understand…how many have you actually seen doing it tho?

[toxic shard]

tbh i shoot with temp since last yr.. shot is slower but just as easy off the dribble

[fathom mantle]

yessir

[fathom mantle]

agreed

[wary holly]

Bro i shot a game winner fade from 3 & i have my meter on it was nowhere near the green i started apologizing to my team like dang my fault yall bad shot it went in was a late green

[regal field]

how do u excuse the steals then

let’s move onto that topic

[wary holly]

Thats when i said yeah something gotta be done about this 😂

[regal field]

i can’t dribble mud

[lone oasis]

I love ronnie now

[regal field]

😭

[obtuse elbow]

Unpluckable useless badge

[lone oasis]

There bringing it back 🥹❤️

[wary holly]

Bringing what back? 👀

[lone oasis]

tempo fading

[forest cloak]

I had legend unpluckable, was getting bump stealed by a 72 ovr

W’s

[wary holly]

lol gonna be in for a rude awakening bro

[regal field]

put that 🥷 mike wang inna acid bath

[wary holly]

Exactly

[forest cloak]

I have a much better solution, re open 21 and 22 servers

[wary holly]

people think it means start spam fading from 3 again gonna get cuss out by their teammates 😂

[hexed tartan]

😳

[lone oasis]

dc getting a ze either way 🥹

[toxic shard]

na the green window off fades was crazy fr tho

[fathom mantle]

praying they dont revert the patch bro

[wary holly]

I think they’re gonna touch the bump steals everything else im hoping stays the same

[robust verge]

Why’s this?

[regal field]

they def not

just fixing shi

[robust verge]

People who think this patch is good weren’t good before it…

[fathom mantle]

people were getting rewarded with bad dribbling before patch

[regal field]

but i’m sorry if im shooting a wide open fade it should go in 90% of the time

[strong umbra]

literally. they were struggling 😭

[quaint badge]

They have to adjust the bumb steals tho

[fathom mantle]

opposite ngl

[robust verge]

Ong

[toxic shard]

thats the problem u always open😂😂

[wary holly]

I would love to really see how open the shots actually are

[fathom mantle]

game was to easy and repetitive

[regal field]

which is why they should update the contest system so i DONT get wide open as easily

[wary holly]

Exactlyyyy

[robust verge]

So why did they buff defense?

[strong umbra]

it was the defense.

[robust verge]

Because I could play defense perfectly fine on the faded

Fades

[wary holly]

Like i would be there but once they start the fade its 4% contest or 30% & green

[hexed tartan]

So make it hard so everyone gets no fun?

[robust verge]

So Idk what the problem is

[lone oasis]

ez

[strong umbra]

all you had to do was beat them to the spot before they fade or switch 😭

[regal field]

my point…update the contest system

[wary holly]

Should have just made it where we can contest fades bro

[strong umbra]

but yall was too lazy

[wary holly]

That would have added some skill gap

[robust verge]

Exactly

[regal field]

that’s another thing fix those ankle breakers and you can move around the screens brodie 😭

[wary holly]

I have no issue if a dude gets crossed & then they fade but if im there bro no

[robust verge]

People to lazy to learn a game so they complain that the contest system was broke

Every time I jumped at someone it was 40-70% contest

[regal field]

that’s what i’m saying if ur there it should NEVER be wide open but it is so therefore it’s a problem on the games end

[robust verge]

Oh no you actually have to play defense to have good defense?

[strong umbra]

nah contest was broke. there was no hands up defense. you had to jump to get contest that’s why fades LOOKED op, but it really wasn’t

[wary holly]

Exactly

If you jump on a fade you end up jumping right where you’re standing & they’re fading away

[robust verge]

But even in real life, I can shoot over someone with their hand up

[wary holly]

Use stick & its low contest

But you get a run out

[toxic shard]

not to mention middy fades aswell, the green is half the bar no cap

[strong umbra]

well duh. cause it’s not a stand still shot… its a fade. so jump into the fade to get contest lol

[wary holly]

I got contest sometimes just wasnt consistent enough fr

[robust verge]

It’s called skill issues

If you can’t guard a fade away 3 why play the game?

[regal field]

game never gon be realistic it’s an arcade game… even the shots that CAN go in will NEVER go in

[regal field]

word

[robust verge]

I beat 2 OvO crew members the same way…

[regal field]

but again the contest system is fukked

[wary holly]

I just hate how people always gotta find something to exploit fr

[forest cloak]

Fix steals, add bigger green window to button shooting, that simple

[regal field]

can’t really blame them

[regal field]

and fix fades but update contests

[strong umbra]

I can make a whole compilation of me stopping fades. ppl was just lazy lol

[wary holly]

Whats your PD?

[warped fern]

Bring back the old gameplay and update contest

[robust verge]

Omg here we go. “This game needs to be just like real life”

[regal field]

what animations yall think gon come out w season 2

[wary holly]

what is your pd?

[robust verge]

Bro it’s a virtual basketball game not real life

[fathom mantle]

do u guys think there gonna add more crew levels? or is it already confirmed they arent

[robust verge]

They pry will make everything patched to the point they have 6 players in total

[warped fern]

This patch made me delete the game

[wary holly]

That’ll never happen

[loud jay]

So it’s pretty clear IF they were gonna nerf fades it SHOULD have been done SLIGHTLY to LOW 3pt or super TALL builds no??

We would have been okay if they just left it how it was if we had a way to contest it no?

Y’all actually playing this right now? This is harder than 2K25

[robust verge]

It’s already happening

Game lost over 7 thousand players because the patch

[wary holly]

Not enough to make them change things

[regal field]

YES

[static plover]

Definitely only shot fades

[wary holly]

They’ll be back

[warped fern]

Yeah

[wary holly]

I dont know 1 player that deleted 2k & actually dont comeback at no point

[regal field]

there’s no reason why 75-80 3pt should make the fades yall lock tf in!!!

if i have a 99 3 ONG TS SHOULD GO IN!!!!!!

[strong umbra]

can’t send screenshots in here but message me

[fathom mantle]

agreed

[warped fern]

fr

[robust verge]

We will see who knows I don’t even fade and I think it’s the most stupid patch of all time. This game was actually good and why not just higher contest?

[wary holly]

Bet i was just asking what your perimeter defense was on fr

[fathom mantle]

?

[robust verge]

My perimeter is a 95

[wary holly]

Agree with that too so no one would have had complaints fr

[robust verge]

Ong

[wary holly]

You a guard?

[zinc wolf]

i hope they add more levels and not reset it

[regal field]

literally

[robust verge]

6’7 iso

But I didn’t fade

[loud jay]

I have legend everything - 6 foot 1 and my green window is a SLIVER. Why did the touch shooting on high 3pt builds intead of allowing sideways late contests for fades or better yet- a way to time clamping one?

[robust verge]

My short 2bh did

[toxic shard]

yeah but tempo needed nerf fs

[wary holly]

How many ast you avg?

[regal field]

only
should’ve touched the low 3pt abusers and updated contest system. that’s it, and nerf theze blitz steals a bit

[robust verge]

Ofc but why take fades out when it’s been this bad in every 2k? I thought people would know how to guard them by now

[loud jay]

Agreed

[wary holly]

I dont think people abused it this much though not thisssss much

[fathom mantle]

fades started like this in 23

[pseudo hazel]

they patch shooting spec!!

[loud jay]

Like we don’t need it just as easy to fade on 6’9 75 3 ball builds

[pseudo hazel]

you didn’t play park

[regal field]

and guess what…middy fades still exist so why only touch 3pt fades???

[robust verge]

That’s what I’m saying lol

[regal field]

shoulda never touched it in the first place

[wary holly]

You are right lol

[lone oasis]

fades coming back dc

[strong umbra]

i’m not a fade exploiter either but to make the animation damn near impossible to make is proving they just cater to the cry babies in this community lol

[fathom mantle]

oh mb

[toxic shard]

wait they didnt touch middys?

[wary holly]

i stayed away i started on park got to toxic for me truly

[pseudo hazel]

middy fades are more realistic

[loud jay]

We all would have been okay if they simply gave us a better way to contest

[strong umbra]

they should’ve just fixed the green window on CONTESTED shots

[regal field]

literally bro i have legend shifty and 96 3…what more do i need to make a wide open pull up shot???

[fathom mantle]

any1 know if they r adding more crew levels?

[robust verge]

You’re good bro in my opinion and hear me out

[regal field]

no bro

[wary holly]

true

[strong umbra]

and it’s not even just fades. it’s all off the dribble shots

[wary holly]

I said the same thing i never said take the fade out just wanted better contest on them

[loud jay]

Yea I got 99 and it don’t matter - I was really good at them in 2K25- they have NEVER been this hard. What a joke. I’m shooting like Shaquille O’Neal out here

[robust verge]

Add the fades back… higher contest for them so you can hit just not guarded. And these bump steals bro… I got ripped 5 times from a dude with 45 steal

[wary holly]

Better contest ovr so the bad fade attempts wouldnt get rewarded

[pseudo hazel]

y’all never got hit with a double screen

[regal field]

i turned the meter on to see how bad the green window was… ts is actually impossible basically 😭

[loud jay]

Like I said- a sliver

[regal field]

i’m 6’1 180 promise i have

[wary holly]

Yea i told my guy that fades all the time its noooo gren

[robust verge]

Welcome to Ronnie 2k26

[strong umbra]

but at the same time, ppl was really expecting to contest fades with a 80 perimeter, 80 speed and under 50 block 💀

[loud jay]

They don’t play the game when they patch it CLEARLY

[robust verge]

This just gonna bring so many more cheaters

[strong umbra]

only ppl that really should be upset about the contest is lockdowns…

[regal field]

on god

[wary holly]

looks like you have no stamina in the green window when shooting fades from 3 now 😂

[wary holly]

Its me im people

Minus the speed

[regal field]

my character start stumbling after shooting a fade now lmaoooo

[strong umbra]

it’s ok gang 😭😭

[robust verge]

Bro I had a 95 perimeter. People weren’t even getting by me to fade the ball…

[regal field]

LMAO

[strong umbra]

but frfr if a mf is running to fade with a 90+ swb… and you have 80speed 80 agility….

[wary holly]

I have 90 on both

[robust verge]

…

[wary holly]

Spd & agility with 80 pd

[fathom mantle]

how are the 2s courts looking like

[wary holly]

Rn

[fathom mantle]

is it still the same meta

[loud jay]

If your THERE it should work. If your slow your slow. We expect to have a way to contest. The actual problem is very clear. Mike wang explained it bro- he wanted you to be square in front of the defender so they made angled contests and behind contests pretty non existent- the game needs to allow angled contests from a foot away to do SOMETHING

[robust verge]

Caused people to start l2ing again

[strong umbra]

I have a 85 perimeter, 78 block. only time a a mf would fade on me is if I got screened, and my teammate didn’t help

[vast wolf]

You right twin

Just fix the contest put everything else back to normal game is golden

[wary holly]

Agreeeddd

[robust verge]

Me too. This is just a skill issue nothing wrong with fading at all that’s why people make their builds. If you have high enough shooting you should be able to fade…

[vast wolf]

Even before patch I was getting bump steals you don’t need em every play that’s why u contest shots also

[toxic shard]

na word i got a 99 pd and its not worth it no cap

[strong umbra]

exactly. so the contest was the issue, not the actual fade.

[robust verge]

Ong

Exactly

[wary holly]

I can see if i have no defense you break me im to slow but if you cant even get around me then just pull out a fade after you escape 1 time & im still running at you that annoyed me

[loud jay]

200% - although low attribute super tall players hitting 3 pt fades easier than ever needed to be MILDLY addressed

[errant escarp]

yo when does season 2 drop?

[robust verge]

Yeah should be

[errant escarp]

ok

[robust verge]

All I know is I ain’t touching the game till at least something’s fixed

[wary holly]

Coming back after the hitch is fixed?

[robust verge]

Yes more than likely

[vast bison]

yea they releasing every info tmr

[wary holly]

So you’ll be back tomorrow then 🤣

[surreal musk]

No way y’all still crying right?

[robust verge]

Maybe we will see lol

[vast wolf]

Casuals couldn’t handle the comp

[robust verge]

You someone who likes this patch huh?

Looks like I’ll be on at 4🤣

[wary holly]

Im enjoying the conversation truly 😂 im bored af rn , my 5 got off

[loud jay]

I love skill gap- I want fades to be hard- non existent green windows w a 99 3 ball is a completely delusional update

[surreal musk]

I had no problem with it personally

[robust verge]

Preach

[wary holly]

Dang i didnt even think about them yea this gotta succcckkk for them

[loud jay]

I’m telling you they don’t play it

[strong umbra]

so basically the issue was, the fact the you have to be infront of the ball to get contest ? so that’s why fading looked op ?

[wary holly]

I would be pissed never put my feet in their shoes

[honest mango]

i js kno you a rec corner sitting big

[robust verge]

All because people don’t want to learn how to have skill

[surreal musk]

Wrong try again

[vast wolf]

Ong bro make it hard to fade but possible to make it every time

[robust verge]

Ronnie is making it such a bad game. Honestly about to be 2k25 all over again

[loud jay]

Part of the defensive issue was that they severely reduced contests that weren’t square in front of the ball handler when they pushed the button

[wary holly]

I dont think it’ll be that bad 😂

[surreal musk]

This is all Mike wang my guy

[vast wolf]

Do they even test the patch before they drop it?

[loud jay]

Yea Ronnie doesn’t do anything

[robust verge]

No Mike weng said that he wanted the game to stay the same

[quaint osprey]

yall still crying???

[strong umbra]

no

[surreal musk]

Ronnie just the community manager

[vast wolf]

There’s no way they seen how much bumps u can get from just standing there and said “yeah they will love this”

[robust verge]

Uh oh we got someone with no defense skill…

[strong umbra]

cause they would’ve saw that jump shots literally have a slow load up now with tempo

[wary holly]

yesss more negativity

[robust verge]

That’s fixed tomorrow though

[quaint osprey]

i would fry ts outta u 😭✌️

[vast wolf]

Lmao😂😂

[robust verge]

I promise you won’t

[indigo galleon]

Hn

[ancient palm]

nope

[brave glen]

kinda

[toxic dock]

I cant even do a simple move without getting bumped

[strong umbra]

literally. they could’ve added side contest. and then depending on your dead eye and high flying denier determines the contest on it

[wary holly]

Taking hitch out so it might feel smoother but its still gonna have that tight green window

[vivid coral]

wtf… guards are cooked . thats all we was doing

[indigo galleon]

Consider a shooting build now like a inside scorer at the start of the game

[ancient palm]

all the people complaining bout fades was the ones who couldnt guard them be so fr

[wary holly]

lmaoooooo @brave glen see

[worn phoenix]

[quaint osprey]

all this patch doing is killing the players who dont cheat

😭😭

[vivid coral]

how is this cap ?

[ancient palm]

no we not if we got a 3pt under 99 we cant hit fades from three at all

[grizzled drum]

Tbh at frist I was getting bumped but it was understandable cause it was all behind the back

[vivid coral]

im 6’2 run wit 6’7 and 6’9

thats my play style

[grizzled drum]

Ima see with kemba

[wary holly]

you just said all guards are cooked cause 90% of our shots are fades then came back & said we have different playstyle how?

[toxic dock]

Im saying tho we cooked lil but

[indigo linden]

[toxic dock]

Yea

[vivid coral]

some people perfer iso and some prefer screens

[toxic dock]

Its a delay

[wary holly]

Thats your team i guess we meant different things im speaking only on guards playstyle & how they run the offense

[ancient palm]

if u a 6’8 at this point u js feel like a big

[timid pine]

It's being impossible to green rythm shooting even when you're open

[toxic dock]

They even said its a delay

[wary holly]

in the end its all escapes & fades tho right? Lol

[quaint osprey]

2k22 peaking all year😌

I allredy got my shi in starting 5. So

I don’t got worry

[night beacon]

You missing out twin

[grizzled drum]

Tbh if they lower bumps this would be one 2k best updates inna while

[torn delta]

Hey 2K Developers,
Seriously, what’s going on over there? Every patch seems to make the game worse. You keep listening to people who can’t play defense instead of fixing what actually matters — like interior defense, chase-down blocks, and badges that don’t even work properly. It’s honestly ridiculous how broken the game feels right now. Whoever’s making these decisions clearly doesn’t understand what players actually want, and it’s showing. Do better. @silent prism

[toxic dock]

Na fr

[quaint osprey]

facts

[toxic dock]

Interior defense fasho!!!!

[grizzled drum]

Interior not bad

Yu just dk how play paint defence

[torn delta]

Yeah its awful.

[indigo galleon]

Bro they need to bring the contest system from last year into this year imo last year had solid defense

[calm yoke]

but it feel like they messed up the game speed completely. the game felt fun now it feels like i need to clinch my cheeks and look over my shoulder to play. shot creating is dead. dribbling is slow and dead. passes cant make it anywhere on the court.

[ember ermine]

even psn servers down lmao

[solid vortex]

best patch do far

[torn delta]

Funny i'll be standing there with hands up and only get a 15% contest. But, okay.

[indigo galleon]

Your an idiot

[onyx olive]

Any this ghost contests gotta go. No way people aren’t even having a hand up and getting 50 percent contests.

[solid vortex]

Just tell me u cant dribble

[ember ermine]

anyone saying this patch was good is actually brain dead

[strong umbra]

you have to jump to get good contest

[frozen mirage]

Real

[grizzled drum]

I love this patch jus fix bumps a little

[jade summit]

Nerf bumps @regal thicket

[ember ermine]

shut up

[strong umbra]

defense was the problem not offense

[grizzled drum]

Yur jus az z

[onyx olive]

This patch was good outside of the contests. They didn’t fix them they broke it even more

[solid vortex]

All the faders with no handles mad rn😭

[ember ermine]

this patch aint even good mud like shut the hell up

[torn delta]

So my MyPlayer will just jump out of the play. Got It...

[old birch]

fax

[grizzled drum]

There only one thing bad and it’s bumps

[onyx olive]

Don’t bump into people then

[karmic moss]

Is it the game bad now

[grizzled drum]

Anyone tht disagree jus az z

Cause all they do is fade

[ember ermine]

nerf steals

[toxic dock]

My only problem is da bumps i can shoot still

[onyx olive]

Steals don’t need nerfed

Just don’t run into people

[toxic dock]

Yes they do bro

[ember ermine]

steals as in bumps

[toxic dock]

Its bad

[ember ermine]

its so bad

[onyx olive]

I played 8 games in rec and lost the ball 1 time

[grizzled drum]

This update really showed what we needed to see

[onyx olive]

And I have a 6’5 guard with an 86 ball handle

[strong umbra]

I watched my pg w a 70 steal get 7 steals 1st qtr in the rec… off bumps, not reaching. he even said this patch ode

[solid vortex]

steals are fine just learn how to dribble bro

[tidal galleon]

See a lot of people saying we mad cause we cant get open anymore or we just fade, that ain't it. They just made tempo cheeks.

[onyx olive]

Yall just don’t know how to dribble

[calm yoke]

what fades gotta do with game speed? the fades can go idc but bruh rec games being 50-60 points again is garbage

[urban swan]

W patch learn to dribble

[cobalt ocean]

Why is it choppy now

[strong umbra]

7 steals in 1 qtr with a 70 steal is insane

[quartz sleet]

Bro why the hell is tempo shooting like this

[solid vortex]

I’m shooting 90% with tempo still 🤔

[ember ermine]

bumps bro.. stop acting stupid on purpose

[calm yoke]

f**** fades but killing shot creating as a whole is crazy

[quartz sleet]

I’m wide open bro and my jumpshot is so slow now dude can get a contest on me

[onyx olive]

It’s not tempo it’s the contests

[jade summit]

You make it sound so easy to do this as the primary ball handler it is almost impossible unless youre a dribble god to not bump into the defender atleast a few times when dribbling and every time it’s a guaranteed steal

I dont even spam escapes either but bumps shouldn’t be this damn busted

[timid pine]

When I hit a fade I look like a big with 800 pounds

[toxic dock]

Im getting ran into n losing da ball

😭🤦🏽‍♂️

[ember ermine]

facts lol

[toxic dock]

Unpluckable on hall of fame

[inner river]

anyone having trouble with crossplay

[calm yoke]

covid back with the way that ball getting coughed up randomly

[tidal galleon]

Good for you gang, you out of a couple thousand tempo shooters are shooting well🤦‍♂️ bet you wont be tmrw.

[jade summit]

The only ppl happy abt this are locks

[onyx olive]

It’s not impossible you just dribble without thinking

[solid vortex]

Dribble around em instead of into em

[onyx olive]

I actually watch where the defender is

[ember ermine]

not that easy pal

[onyx olive]

And don’t go where he is

[jade summit]

No i dribble even more cautiously now it’s just bumps are gonna happen here and there lmao

[calm yoke]

you watch basketball? theres always contact when handling the ball.....

[obtuse elbow]

We really see who’s buns now I’m on a 20 win streak lol

[toxic dock]

They run into u😭🤦🏽‍♂️

[jade summit]

And every bump is a steal every time it just shouldnt work like that

[quartz sleet]

The stealing buff is good, guards would dribble mindlessly running into ppl and not getting it stolen

[tidal galleon]

U button shoot right?

[solid vortex]

Most my opponents also be hitting their shots🤔

[warm bobcat]

it’s kinda hard to do that when they’re running into you full speed on each side for the bump

[obtuse elbow]

Yea

[tidal galleon]

Makes sense

[toxic dock]

I never got as many steals as of today

[onyx olive]

All I hear is people who don’t know how to play as a guard

[ember ermine]

like tell me how the defender bumps into me once and i automatically lose the ball like thats so dumb

[warm bobcat]

I’ve had someone slap the ball out my hands without me even moving

[toxic dock]

Ong!!

[solid vortex]

Dribbling in 2k creates alot more space than irl basketball

[toxic dock]

🤣🤣🤣

[loud jay]

Are these guys going to acknowledge the fact that my 99 3 ball legend fades are so broken they are almost impossible?

Anyone happy about this doesn’t have a 99 3 ball PG. it’s about 10x as hard as it was on 2K25 and 2K25 was hard, but perfect

[onyx olive]

Yeah cuz that’s actually a thing

[calm yoke]

thats the problem... it dont....

[tidal galleon]

You can debate it all you want, severel thousand people say there's a hitch in there tempo shooting. Including me.

[warm bobcat]

Yeah in your neighborhood court wtf do I do against that

[strong umbra]

if they’re ganna keep the steals they need to make strong handles more effective

[toxic dock]

I seen centers n locks taking the ball up da court

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[solid vortex]

This patch a big W they just gotta fix hud shotmeter turning itself on 24/7
