NBA2K community rise up. Gets Fix2K to #1 trending on Twitter.
- Thread starter Justified
- Start date
Anybody play the update yet? Alot of people on the MyTeam community are saying they sped the game up and reduced blow bys for guards. I actually really liked that bigs could no longer go step for step with the quick guards this year...
Yeah for the most part unless you really really want to use VC on stuff like convincing a FA to play for you. Even then it's usually so low that if you actually play the game you shouldn't have an issue with earning enough VC for that
I'm a little confused, what exactly are you expecting to stop? They're not excising VC from this, the most they will do is fix the servers so people stop complaining and they can start spending money again.
Sorry I meant in the actual game modes. I don't really play parkAlready been changed lol
They didnt specify but I think they buff speed and stamina across the board. Park is the only thing he mention that will be toned down though
New patch just dropped too
NBA 2K fans aren't buying anything else. That's been proven over the past two years when they could've bought a cheaper product to support some competition. This has been pretty consistent with sports games and competition over the past 15 years when lesser competition doesn't seem to do well enough to stick around.
No clue why EA hasnt taking NBA Live to a GaaS format (instead of yearly release) or some form of F2P. Lower the barrier of entry will be the only way to take some of the 2K mindshare back
I wouldn't be surprised at NBA Live 20 being free-to-play with the way they were talking about its delay. That said, they have lowered the barrier of entry the last two years with $40 launch pricing and frequent sales mid-season at $10 or below.
The bigger joke is the fact that the 2k community for some reason thought this year would be any different. Why anyone believed 2K wouldn't fuck us over this year again is beyond me.
That's why I always buy 2K on Black Friday
It's half off
They legit put an AR thing on the cover and make a shit load from VC and it's still broken lol

I bought 2K19 when it was $3 earlier thi-s year aand I'm really glad I waited. Will do the same with 2K20, buy it on an extreme sale sometime after the holidays.
I enjoy the games, not gonna lie, but the bullshit this season is nuts. Ronnie said on a live stream pre-release that you could respec you player without having to use VC, then they say after launch they don't know how that got started. Load speeds have been painful, MyPlayer names being left blank on jersey's, flagging names as profanity when they're not, game and servers crashing, progression freezing, etc. Just insane. I like the series, but the technical issues this year are on another level.
Does it still has the grindy shitfest in career mode ? because if so I have enough with that shit. The reason I played 2k19 because it came with my XB1X but it was almost unbearable with the push they did on players to buy the VC.
Yeah, but it's not quite as bad as last year. They changed it so when you get VC you can choose where it goes. For example, I can make a big and get his shot close and standing dunk to 95 right away, I don't have to wait to level up and have them randomly decide which attribute gets a cap increase. They also changed it so you max out at 95, but based on how well you're playing the overall goes from 95-99. So far it seems easier to level up, but it's too early for me to tell how bad the grind will be to get from 90 to 95.
I think one of the main problems with boycotting/not-buying the game is like 4 different games at this point. A basketball sim, a create-a-NBA-Franchise sim, a create-a-player sim, and a create-a-team sim.
I mostly play the GM sim mode and the create a fantasy team mode which are much less predatory / optional on MTX use. I recognize that the MyCareer stuff is shitty but I'm not affected by it so it's hard for me to not buy the game
Of course, it's also a captive audience as EA is over there with the NBA live license and can't come up with a product that remotely competes on the gamplay end and you get no chance of change...
The respec lies really got me because I was super excited for it. Thought it was such a dope consumer friendly thing they were doing. All to be completely fabricated on some level. Very disappointing. Game is fun but there's too much BS to wade through.
Lol yooo. It's real funny. Boy score bout 14 points and I was surprised to see the double each time. I kinda like it tbh. Nice way to get assist.
The crappy thing about no respec is that it's almost impossible to really try out different play styles. Even height, once you create a player you're locked in (or whatever VC you spend is locked in), so you're basically at the mercy of other people to test builds. And you can't tell jack at base level.
Vote with your wallet. And if you really, really want it, just wait for it to go on sale for $3.
It really is crappy. I was hoping I could switch to whatever build was needed for the session like if we needed a big I could run a big or if I needed a point guard I could do that. Would've been amazing. Only thing you can change are the badges when you get an upgraded. Mike wang saying I don't know where that came from was so hurtful lol.
But honestly if you want change, even if you buy it for 3 bucks don't buy VC. I'm sure that's the reason they discount it to get more microtransaction money.
As someone who gets it every year (through best friend and i get madden) it hasn't effected us at all. Neither of us have felt the need to put any real money in and he got the standard edition (same as me). If i played the MUT card style thing on NBA i might be more riled up but i just wanna play basketball with my bud i don't even look in the general direction of that shit. The only issue i came across was connecting earlier this morning.
I want them to fix the issue where your MyPlayer name isn't displayed anywhere, including your player jersey.
Otherwise I've had little issues. This is my first 2K game in like 4 or 5 years (stopped buying them because of VC BS), so I've been craving a ball game for a while, got to say I've been enjoying it a lot.

In my group of friends who only play this game every year knows the problem but will do jack shit and pay the highest tiered version of the game. I always have this feeling that this sentiment is the majority of the market and ain't a damn thing is gonna change. They also love PUBG and don't give a fuck about its frame rate.
I don't think VC really affects MyGM, but they changed it up this year, so I might be wrong. In previous years they started giving it an optional storyline though.
I loved the slower game speed and stamina system pre-patch and these dribble lords have screamed bloody murder until they changed both. 😭😭😭 This is why we can't have nice things.
the goat :'(
i bought 2k13 and it was starting to get bad then
then i bought 2k19 cause it was $10 and i instantly regretted it :(
It is, the people who buy 2-3 games a year are the ones keeping the VC grind in place. They'll buy the legendary edition and/or buy at least $20 worth of VC when getting the game. All to stay competitive in the park. On day fucking 1 of all things.
Yea that happened because you couldn't choose a name in the demo.
What i hate is having to spend a badge point to get a faster jump shot, dumb.
And after that game I got hit with the no progress bug. I'm done with this game until they fix the issues
Load times have been fix....by speeding the entire game up lol. My Center is like the Flash on the court, its just too fast, gave me slight motion sickness (which could partly due to me being tired, but I have played this game with lack of sleep before with no issues)
lol 2k are the worst. they didn't fix shit except make it faster and readjusted stamina to be more like last year's game because these idiot dribblegods complained. and it didn't need it in the first place smfh.
offline sim basketball-wise 2k is still the best, but a large portion of its online-focused community really sucks

Has a person who buys these games exclusively for MyCareer it's been better than ever starting last year, it's not really a grind if you put in a mindset of "oh, I'm a rookie I'll be bad for a little bit" I went from 60-73 so far in 2K20 without paying always get to at least 90 been playing since 2K11 when the VC shit started.. it hit he apex in 17' but these past 2 years the grind has honestly been better.
14?
I had 6 points as a 65 overall guard and they were double teaming...........i ended up with 9 assists in like 4 minutes
Me too! I feel so liberated! After completely being fleeced by 2k19...I'm finally done!
