I don't understand the 2K community tbh, I'm a rl hooper and I just love having a BB game to play with, win or lose I'm having fun. But seems like 90% of the community are just trying to find the cheesiest build to win without learning how to play the game or even understand BB, like they wanna have everything on easy mode, that just sounds boring af... Seems like most are only focusing on winning even if that means not having fun, and cryin' like little kids when they can't win because they're playing against better players or they're getting out-cheesed. Don't know what they're trying to prove to themselves, that's just sad. 2K ain't no e-sport game, it's a basketball "sim" with no worldclass comp and no cash prize, don't know why people are sweating so hard over it. Being a top 2K rank player dont make you cool, it just tells everyone you stopped showering for the last couple months.

My build is mid af, playing a 5'10 PG that can do a bit of everything (3s, layups, mid-range, good passing & speed but not dribble heavy) and my highest stat is 93, which means I need to do things right for them to work, that's challenging and fun. I pass a lot and make plays, people enjoy playing with me cuz I'm chill and the ball rotates a lot, that's what a game is supposed to be : enjoyable & fun. Yall should try to make the build you want even if it's not meta/perfect, and try & learn how to make it work with your teammates ; that's way more fun & rewarding than trying to cheese your way up with players that dont shower.

Steals is bad, paint defense is bad, shooting is bad, dunk meter is bad, perimeter defense is bad I can go on and on about the problems with this game

[BeLikeMalc]

I truly feel that this game has too many problems to patch… Earliest I’ve considered dropping a 2K 🤦🏽‍♂️

[JayR-jo]

The harsh fact is, YouTubers are ruining the game more than 2k is. LakerFan cheating, playing the victim and pointing fingers after getting caught. Then you got YouTubers making tutorials on how to exploit macros to shoot easier. Almost every video regarding 2k is "THE NEW BEST MOST GLITCHY EXPLOIT IN THE GAME!!!".... The game would be in a better place without YouTubers. That's a fact 🤷‍♂

Flash Bang Twitter is crazy 0:23 😭 cmon Joe

[jgspnshow]

2k stopped being fun when all these dudes came on the scene wanting to be “comp”.

game is fun for the first week then instantly dies because all the unemployed jits ruin the game for everyone. 2k has NEVER been that serious.

[FonkedUpProductions]

We not gonna ignore that buddy said last shower "together"

[RJ.x]

Miss 2k19 and 2k20 now it’s just…🤦🏾‍♂️

[TheThinkingMansTemplar]

Those dudes grinding any game that hard is super lame.. they are just chasing exploits.. its so lame its unreal..moving in together ? Cmon man

[carter]

Literally ban all the people dashing. It's wrong. You know it's wrong. Just because other people are doing it doesn't mean it's OK for you to do it. Classic "if everyone else is jumping off a cliff" scenario. Accountability is needed here.

[Eskeletor_]

The fact that in 1v1 if you make someone quit, you are stuck with a cracked AI. It makes my blood boil when the ai starts playing better than the person

[pullingguard]

I didn’t even bother buying this game. It’s literally just a yearly 100 dollar subscription + gotta buy VC to play a game that gets 7.5% worse every year

[Drewrld]

They dont go to the gym, they have no friends, dont even have a license.

[Treshawnn_]

Nobody is talking about the fact that 5’9 players have the ability to have insane shooting, insane dribbling and insane defense along with a 85 driving dunk. There should be penalties for being 5’9 bro

[eguoR]

the best part about all of this is none of it will matter when 2k26 drops 😂

[Izeezus]

I sold 2k25 2 weeks ago, this is the quickest I've ever given up on a 2k. It's ridiculous how much SBMM killed what used to be a chill way to unwind with my friends after a long day. Every single game in the rec is a sweatfest

[Zeusy]

They need to nerf lane steals. It doesn't make sense man

[thaboycristianooo]

This game is good they just need to fix the steals, dunking, shooting, dribbling, post fades, and paint defence
