Why NBA 2K Doesn’t Hit The Same Anymore (MyCAREER 🏆) Edition Out Now - czcams.com/video/rkSJx22DMpY/video.html
The fact the parks in 2k15 which is like a 10 year old, looks better than the parks in 2k24 is crazy
They was saying the same thing 10 years ago. Idk how nobody has caught on. 2k has been shitty for a loooooooong time
@@CheddyBobfell off so fast after 16. I know people loved 17, but it was a downgrade from 16 in every conceivable way, yet nobody wants to admit it because of how fun the community was at that point. Then 2k started chasing everything it was never meant to be. 18 unveiled their new clunky ass gameplay engine we have now to this day, that absolutely sucks. They brought the “neighborhood” which also sucked, having my court and just being able to go to parks from the menu was way better, faster and simpler. 2k used to be about basketball, now it’s just a cringy trend chaser
@rich4446 its cuz thats the year they put automatic dribble moves in the left stick and defense in the right. Ever since then dribble sucked and became spamming and unpredictable instead of learning which combo you enjoy using.
@@rich4446 so the legend of 2k18 is true. It truly was that bad apparently. Literally everybody has said this. I think i saw like one video for it. It was agent 00 but he was just going back playing all the old 2k games. That was years ago..
2k needs to realize that this game is only popular because we love basketball.
adding things like Foreign teams, classic presentations, real world parks, etc would make a major difference.
I'm primarily a Mycareer player and most of the Mycareer stories barely focus on basketball. They're about social media reps and branding more than an up and coming player paving his own legacy.
Not gonna lie , I be skipping every cutscene & just tryna get my attribute upgrades 😭 But it’s crazy how MyCareer doesn’t feel the same as well
@@Nayeem4K I came up on 2k11 and I'm ngl I prefer not having cutscenes. My career used to be about achieving accolades and paving your journey.
@@improbablyyourdad8458 2k11 along with 2k16 are the greatest 2k games ever imo. 2k11 had the perfect vibe, down to the gameplay, music, blacktop (with celebrities), & crew mode. Feel bad for anyone that didn’t get to experience 2k11
Facts is so much they can do. Madden is the same just fix the dang presentation part and realism it’s like we’re telling them but they don’t cares 2k and Madden needs a competitive competition that’ll make them care more instead of being the only consumer product.
@@Flossy2K.Holy moly. 2k11. I was 14. Playing on moms xbox 360 with my brother. The good days.
Bro, this is why you’re one of my favorite CZcamsrs because somebody has finally acknowledged the state that the park is in and how the game has strayed so far away from the vibe and aesthetic of the park from 2K 15 2K 16. You really hit the nail on the head of how 2K park feels like Fortnite more than it does basketball and when 2K finally pushes the game towards the realistic vibe and environment, people are gonna like the park more.
Appreciate You Bro 💯 hopefully 2K realizes this & executes a change like this correctly
To tell u the truth they not changing anything if we still buy the game every year, every it’s the same issue they not gonna change anything
@@dwill95this years nba2k game has the most negative reviews than any other nba 2k games so I think they will be slightly better next game but if they continue to somehow shit the bed then they gotta go fr
It is fornite. That's why I stopped playing.
Rec is still fun ….takes too long to get a park game
This is the most insightful critique I've ever seen on NBA2K.
Thanks Bro 🎒 tryna bring out some insights that are being overlooked
we gotta get rid of the city....and honestly park kind of sucks now, bc of how long it can take to actually get a game.....which is fine you can go to Theatre for matchmaking, however then you get penalized by lower rep/attribute...they've forced us into REC for higher rep and attributes etc, but then we get penalized if we want to quit. Having horrible teammates, and brutal HOF AI is insane to be penalized for.....I've loaded in and automatically gotten an AI, so basically my game is wrecked and i can't quit or i risk getting banned
You definitely need to get more rewarded for park games you don’t even get .1% for winning and you only get 300vc shit don’t make sense
@@b0Okem right? Like 5 games and i can afford more boost. Vs 2 rec games
For real if you want to rep or you want to get anything decent you have to play Rec everywhere else is just playing because you like 3s,2s or 1s no benefits anywhere.
Nah the city got to go bring park back
@@alexmedero828 chasing games is less than ideal. It’s a bit ridiculous to have that many courts and still not being to get games. I’d rather go to proam
Take me back to the 2K14/2K15 days. 2Kleague ruined casual 2K and it’s foundations.
the shooting meter has been busted since like 2017!! its all about hop step shots now
I didn't know why I was getting tired of 2K but you hit right on the money. The environments are too unrealistic 😂😂😂😂
I didn’t know either until I sat back & really thought about it 😭
If it was more realistic the delay would be way worse😂😂 they need to bring the 2k20 park back
The picture of the park you showed at 1:31, is the local park I played at as a kid in bayside queens. It’s such a low key hidden spot, never thought I’d see it on CZcams 20 years later. Thank you for the nostalgia 🙏
That’s nuts
Once I had to start skateboarding for 15 mins to go to a park I stopped playing the game as much. 2k20 was the first 2k I played A LOT and it was nice to load into the park and you could see all the courts immediately, go practice in the penthouse, go to footlocker for all shoes, pro am was right next to the park too. Sometimes I’d load into a park and see one of my friends in a game and I could just pull up and play them. Everything now is too complicated and money oriented. The reason we have to go to 10 separate stores is so 2k can advertise the brands. The only way to put shots up is by going to the Gatorade facility. They’ve made it so you have to workout in a GAME for WEEKS just to get new body types????? The only way to get lethal hot zones is the art of shooting facility. You’re forced to play ‘key’ games in mycareer.
At this point I just load up, do my daily spin and go to the rec. There’s zero incentive to do anything else around the city
Right I even stop warming up and warm up In game because shot timing is different in every single game mode like wtf 😂
@@Hype2k23 it’s gotta be a social experiment bro there’s no way a company with so much money and resources can butcher a game like this 😂
I don’t think they’ll ever get rid of the city they getting too much money from all the ads they got put up
Bro u exactly like me u can even see my channel my first2k was 19 my favourite sport is football or soccer whatever u guys call it but I started watching nba abit more n then I bought 2k and fell in love with the game from 19 to 20 most fun I ever had on games. Then I got to 21 I got bored of it after 3 months and never played since 22 was similar 23 similar 24 I completely stopped playing I just want to feel like how I did on 20
@@ebm2000 I’m one of few people that actually like career mode but since I made a center even career is bad. As soon as I catch the ball in the post it’s a double team, then I pass to the wide open AI who greens every shot. It’s so incredibly boring. Then when I sim games my player is averaging 50 points, 25 rebounds, 20 assists. It’s not even a challenge to win mvp or dpoy.
Ive felt it way more the last few weeks while I wait for my WiFi to be fixed. In other games I can still play online with average WiFi with a few hitches here and there with 2k servers the game just freezes for 5 seconds at a time which means I absolutely cannot play online. I’m stuck with playing career for now where I could get a triple double with my eyes closed.
At the very least they could make career games fun but when I’m getting double teamed from the first quarter it means I’m just watching my AI teammates break the 3pt record every other game
I play cod too and I’m fine 90% of the time using my shitty WiFi but with 2k I’m getting kicked every other game or lagging to the point I need to quit for my team to have a chance, then I get a ban warning. When I had my fibre optic it was perfectly fine playing online but I shouldn’t need the absolute highest tier of internet connection to have an enjoyable gaming experience
lol nah the park in 24 looks like some futurama type ish 😂 like wth is going on u spot on with the disconnect part hooping near a active volcano is crazy inhaling ash is crazy they don’t even change them 😆
this guy spitting facts!! however the aggressive and predatory micro transactions are the main issue.. 2k have worked out that making a quality, Creative consumer friendly game is not a priority.. there priority is putting out the same recycled crap every year flooding there game with pay to play micro transactions to try and get you to empty your bank account regularly. untill people stop dumping money into this product every year 2k will continue to put out a garbage product that is quite literally a online micro transaction money pit....
i died when you pulled up dusty divot 🤣🤣🤣
Good video bro. Well thought out and very interesting take. I do miss the old Parks. Haven't played a single game of Park this year. Subbed! 💯
Thanks Bro, Appreciate You For The Sub 🎒💯 more content to come like this
Couldn’t have explained it better myself… great video
Great video you really put it into perspective
i like this and i agree with all the points made !
you cookin bro keep it up
Appreciate That Bro 💯 got more on the way
One of the best commentary video s I’ve seen in a while.
Thanks, appreciate you for tuning in 🎒📷 stay tuned for the upcoming content
Great video. First one I have seen giving both sides and not just trashing 2k
Park is the reason why the game is bad 😂😂 y’all dont never wanna grind mycareer no more! totally abandon the storylines & grind cause you can earn badge processing in rec & park
Facts and you need a comp team you can't go in rec solo and have fun cause everyone wanna be the main guy
@@lijahxgibby6875 thats a problem too Im sick of the matchmaking rec games , forcing me to play with trash ass randoms or a cpu with 0 defense
The story line ass the last good story was 17
Not really why no body wants to play my career no more because they have sucked the life out of it
@@moreplugs facts got me playing mynba like im Chris Smoove 😂😂
Straight up 💯
I definitely respect this stance on the topic. I agree
This was very well done & logical. Great point about if Cod just randomly added the Ray Gun to multiplayer, everybody would freak out, yet in 2K we have to deal with tons of unrealistic things
You gained a new sub, you said the best way I could’ve 💯
great video bro ronnie and them 2k devs need to study this
Add the park having sun glares or shadows for no reason. This video was spot onnnn
Great video man
Fire bro 🔥🔥🤦🏽♂️
Good Looks Bro 🎒💯 Appreciate That
Bro spread this message this video just hit the nail on the head
This deserves 1M Plus Views‼️
Appreciate That Bro 🎒💯 Hopefully the algorithm pushes it that much 😭
@@Nayeem4K I pray it do 🙏🏽
NGL, those previous years of 2k still look good!
Agree 100% u saying what needs to be said
Appreciate You For Tuning In 🎒📷
park enviorment is garbage in 24 and playing on the same court the whole year in rec is crazy like how is there not 2-3 different rec courts
Great video
Constructive criticism for sure, great video.
never watched any of your videos but you spot on bro nbs they needa hire you fr fr 😂😂💯
LMAO Good Looks Bro 🎒💯 Appreciate that
Mann looking at these 2k15 16 clips just remind me of a really really hot summer mannn with a fan just beaming in your face while you playing the game
I fuck with your criticism, I was heavy on 2K from 2K12 all the way to 2k20
Some of my fondest memories where grinding out in the park in 18, 19 and 20 with my people, it was vibrant, gritty, and competitive.
The criticism of the city is valid, it takes way too much effort to play the game anymore. For your normal average player it’s never going to stick. I think the idea was ok when we went to next gen, gotta get something new, but honestly people didn’t want that. I wanted to grind out with my people on the park, or rec, and then get rewarded for playing.
The biggest problem 2K came across for me was micro transactions, and it’s a problem that basically every game is plagued with. They make too much money. From it
I stopped playing after 2K20 cause after I hit SS3 the rewards didn’t work and the 2K devs didn’t care, In 2k20 at SS2 you where supposed to get double VC and it never worked the whole year.
They tried to offer me like 3000 VC and I was like alright man. Really killed the deal.
that enviroment and gameplay chart is very true, either has to be realistic or unrealistic
3:10 elite park reminds me of a 2002 box tv 📺 on static channel
Amazing take 🫡
Thanks Bro 🎒💯 stay tuned for the upcoming content 📷
W video bro. I subbed
Thanks Bro, Appreciate You For The Sub & For Tuning In 📷💯
Great video I hope 2ksports watched this video..
Best vid for this topic
Thanks Bro 🎒 stay tuned for the upcoming content 📷
2k14 will forever be my favorite park cuz the setting and music gave it an amazing vibe.
Have you talked to TK about these issues every time I hit them up they always give me a runaround😊
Rivet city gives me Cleveland , Detroit type of vibe
Its crazy how the park is almost 15 and ive haven played a solid and nonlagging game in park since 15
The most spot on shit I ever heard about 2K. Good shit
Good Looks for tuning in brodie 💯📷
The move list in 15 and 16 had so many options too and gameplay just played more fluid but lets not act like 24 isnt unrealistic as well guards still spam the same dribble moves to the point the gane boring whether you can stop it or not
watched 4 of your videos in a row and you only spittin fax. back2back
Good Looks for tuning in bro 💯📷
Bruh,I just started last month and the last thing I worry about is the surroundings on that game....Im sorry.I think its best its ever been and i played career and regular season on 2k9 when it cames out
I can see that 💯
2K15s lighting and animations were soooo smooth
Good job breaking it down
Appreciate You 🎒💯 stay tuned for the upcoming content 📷
if you've ever been to mustafar or tatoonie that volcano court would make you feel at home
I remember I had 2K16 and they changed up the park a bit. One of em had a HUGE aquarium in the background and I just knew they’d get even more over the top. I stopped playing 2K after 2K16 and sad to say to myself I was right. Smh.
2:28 😭😭😭
Very good video
Good Looks Bro 🎒💯
Here's a good video essay for you "Why/How did reddit killed the rec." Also W video
Well said I completely agree
That OG Kellhitemup…. Times was easier back then.
They should add real world parks and have the parks turn into take over like vibes. Huge crowds surrounding the park, talking trash, picking sides. For example if your team keeps winning on a specific court the crowd can start migrating over to your court, away from another, and rooting for your team. And every challenging team that comes on will have to shut up the crowd and win. Just to add intensity to the atmosphere. The crowds will be made up of NPCs and other players waiting to get on the court to play. Lets say in a park of like 8-10 courts, on one court a team is on a 7-8 game winning streak in 3v3s or something, the crowd of NPCs will be growing steadily, getting more rowdy. By win 10 any challenging team that can knock them off while also doing highlight worthy plays throughout the game, can trigger the crowd changing sides and storming the court in favor for the challengers. However if the streaking teams wins, the crowd will storm the court and taunt the losing team to their faces, (other myplayers can join in the storming the court and will have the ability to taunt losing teams for like 15 seconds before the next game is set up). During games where the crowd is pretty big, like say 30-40 bystanders, players on the court can taunt the trash talkers in the crowd after a good play, like a step back 3 or a blocked dunk especially if the crowd is rooting against you. And if you're on the streaking team the crowd is rooting for, you can goad the crowd to get louder when its like game point or you're about to iso a defender. Like waving your arms at the crowd, putting your hand to your ear. If there are multiple teams on winning streaks the NPCs will split up and go to each of those courts. VC, teammate grade and other rewards will be the same (just hopefully cheaper and without the skill regression). Nba live 19 already has that vibe kinda with the cuts after baskets to phone cameras from the crowd for replays. But with 2k i know they can get deals with CZcamsrs like ballislife, the next chapter and capture the energy from their park runs. Minus the cursing of course.
I think the biggest reason is that they just focus on keeping the sponsors happy instead of the actual customers. This happens with a lot of companies that start small and over time grow. The more they grow the more sponsorships they get and the less they focus on the fans that actually put them in that position
Yo you got a pic of p.s 270 park LG Bedstuy/Brooklyn . Salute
I 100 percent agree and I also feel like 2k has made it where playing center is not really fun anymore. Release or normal, terrible jumpshots, 3 pointer be super low. The popper is gone. You have to run pnr or iso. Most of the jumpers are too slow to get off on a pop but they just let guards dribble unrealistically
Great video I have totally drop 24
Nice video bro!
I think that the best part was that in 2k14-15-16-the gameplay was unrealistic and the environment was realistic. That’s what made it fun
I mean, when your opponent makes a wild shot you will blame 2k you will be like 2kaaayyy
(Not balming yourself or your friend for not playing great defence )
I mean hell we wanted to play even if the 3ed guy was a random WE JUST WANTED TO PLAY AND HAVE FUN!!
And if you make a wildshot, you’ll laugh with your friends And be like damn😂😂
When your lose to a 100% contested shot, you’ll get mad
A room for error ..and everyone can play
All builds could do everything and they are all the same
Pie charts and limited my player builder Ruined everything
Adding something
Contact dunks were overpowered
BUT every build or player can abuse it
And it was hella fun
Sometimes when you get dunked on you want the ball just to get back at them and it wasss eaaaassssyyy
I don’t know why but we used to get hyped when these things happen
Adding trash talking and all😂😂😂
Nowadays no hype on dunks , selfish fastbreaks (barely you see a lob) everything is serious no room for mistakes we only want to score the (safest) way (quick drops , straight Tomahawks no flashy dunks )and get W’s
That’s saaaad
This might be the best video I’ve ever seen on 2k it makes me miss the old games i loved the realistic park and i dont like the city it makes me sad that they cant just keep what we like
Thanks, appreciate you for tuning in🎒and more content to come 📷
well we had the same park in 19 and 20 and yall complained u said it was getting repetitive then yall said yall dont want the same beach vibe from 21 they changed it then yall got tired of the boat. tbh the realisticness messed everything up this is an arcadic game to have fun
Damn, good points
They also need to stop changing stuff within upgrading your player like the badge system. Jus like 19-22 you get a badge upgrade and u put it on any badge you want now we have tiers and core badges, and we also got spend more money for vc/ takes more vc to upgrade your player
They also changed mechanics in the game the dribbling animations and the shooting animations
They dead ass need to just go back to this dawg 😂😂
Forreal 😭
i live in rec these days, i started playing in 2k20 and i loved park. i have been a mostly park player for 2k from 20-23. however i only played park on current gen as next gen has completely ruined park imo
I agree, i remember when 2k first made the park i used to always play in the park courts even though i was a heavy 2k player but a casual 5 v 5 was fun. Fast forward today, i dont wanna play at a ugly ass park for a pick up game, dont like the aesthetic. And pro am feels to serious for me so i just dont play at all. I only got this 2k for the myera, but before this i havent played 2k since like 18 or 19
Man I miss 2k15 the background, the vibes like damn wish them servers were up 😂
Man do i miss playing the park on 16. My 6'5 speedboosting PG was able to play every single position no problem.
It's the microtransactions. It is over the top. The pay-to-win mechanic. Its offensive over Defense and the cheese. Its how to get more money out of the players instead of improving the game. Its overdone. It does need to be more grounded too as you were saying.
I miss 2k14 😭
This is the most factual video I’ve seen. This video is 100% accurate!! This is how all of us OG 2k’ers feel
The futuristic park remind me of a part of an apex map
Bro Keep dropping these criticisms Videos to the lead up for 2k25 maybe a chance 2k sees it and You said everything i was thinking for the last 3 years. Community will support you 🦾
I got yall for sure 💯📷 more on the way
You were on point with this 1. That Cod comparison was true.They were tryna be like titanfall at the time. In 2k's case, they're tryna be like fortnite with all the bullshit emotes, skins, seasons etc. 2k is losing it's realistic unique charm that we fell in love with.
Yeah that battle pass shit fucked up the game as well. The rewards just so shitty
I got my one an only character to 98 and quit. Battle passes killed it for me. The shooting in the beginning and the changes that followed. So I gir better but around season 3 I was exhausted. Buying shoes and weird gear also is unrealistic
My problem with it is after I created my character and got into the city, I had to walk around for ten minutes to find where I can play some basketball. Then I see guys on skateboards and stuff that you either buy to pay money for of grind for, thanks but no thanks 2k. I’m good on your walking simulator, I just wanna play basketball.
Dam bru you was spot on the entire video they need to watch this shi.
First year I haven’t bought 2k since like 2009
i hate the fact i couldnt play 2k17 and back because i was a nintnedo person growing up
This guy was spot on and I never realized it the environment is off. We need real parks and the green or miss system turned off that’s the only thing unrealistic besides the park
Dam I miss 2k15 after watching this 💔
“Yo i wanna go play basketball by a volcano “ 😂😂😂
Like cmon now 😭
I’m sure a high nigga has said this at least once fr😂
Whats crazy is they brung back the old town court layout in 21 for next gen just to get out of rookieville 😂
I didn’t even realize the layouts were similar 😭
They need to put the servers back up for 2k15,16,17,20 and it will bring more people to play
Never got into this game mode. Only play online quick games
Yea u got a new sub we need to expose 2k for their greed smh ain’t no way everything should be that expensive
Honestly I can’t see in the park 😂 idk where the 3 point line is these courts be goofy af
somebody need to show this to the 2k developers man we need to give 2k25 some hope
The Theather don't look like that 😂
I hate working so hard for badges ,in2k22 ,you can play mycareer and get a badge for just playing 2 games, like 2k20 you could be a 65 overall with hof shooting badges ,then 2k23 made you work so hard for badges and spend so much money on your debit card just to hit 82 overall and barely any badges and 2k24 even want you to work just so you can get a daily spin when in 2k22 you can be lvl 1 60 overall and spin the wheel everyday without working for it
They maybe can add 2 more parks so make it 5 affiliations but this was such a perfect set up that they mussed up man 😮
