The courts will be after this company soon enough. Since 2k20, when I last played, they have lost their way. They have gone down the extreme path of greed. Troydan issue I saw, I sent letters to both State Senators and I send a very lengthy email directly to the NBA. What folks fail to realize, this game should be a step for kids to fall in love with NBA. This is not how it work. Collecting cards is something us sports fans do, or have done, so they KNOW this is f'd up. Gambling being exposed to kids to GAIN CARDS. Courts will be the only thing to force change.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results. It’s insane for you guys to keep buying a game making them billions of dollars and think they will somehow change. The important thing to remember is this is a GAME! Once I realized this, I completely stop playing 2k for years. The point of a GAME is to first be fun. We all can agree 2k is no longer fun it’s just a grind and a money grab especially if you want to be good at the GAME.

I have grinders 24/7, quit my job, spent all my money, didn’t talk to anyone, got fat, broke, but at least I have a new armband

The deep seeded issues with 2k and other gaming companies are starting to becoming bigger than gaming, Its becoming a literal addiction for some people and affecting lives. Gaming was supposed to be innocent fun now they are becoming something else....this is life discussion at this point about principles and right and wrong... sad times

@@chadwellington2524 Yeah definitely stop buying 2k and save up for a new gen console. I personally do enjoy gameplay in 5v5 modes. I just dislike that everything costs so much. I also dislike the rpg style city in new gen and I’d rather just be able to spawn at the rec but that’s not that big of a deal. They could easily give you vc back when you delete a build or raise the value of vc in general and it wouldn’t be that bad of a game. Fuck 2k for robbing their players of a decent basketball game.

@unlikelyhero78

Yeah the VC is such a scam. I don’t understand why the NBA allows them to use their logo and the players allow their likenesses to be emulated by fans, then make it near impossible to spec a build by grinding and then require skill boosts just to be competitive. Let’s forget about swag and being able to afford any of it. You only reward $1500 VC per if you’re dominant and then charge $20,000 for a shirt or ugly helmet on top of boosts…cmon now. You basically spend the equivalent of a games VC on boosts for the next game…if you want to enjoy any rewards you gotta come outta pocket and on top of initial cost of the game and your monthly charge for Server access, they’re making on average $400 plus per game..I’m currently in my 3rd season on a build and I played 90% of My career games with most of my VC going to attributes and I’m only at a 90 ovr and I have the free time to do it. Imagine those who don’t have that kind of time.. they just assed out I guess

Last good 2k was 17 in my opinion, only reason people talk highly about 19 or 20 is because it was around the time the pandemic started so everyone’s friends were playing together.. 20 was horrendous

You hit everything, man. One of the best topics you have mentioned and that's also what I am wondering about, is the 3,500 assists you need to make just try to get 10K VC and that armband. I said what are they thinking? That is ridiculous. They want you to grind for how many hours and get at least 7 to 8 assists every game. WAF 2K? No way! I hope there is an agency where we can bring all the ridiculous things they are doing.

Always respect your honesty

and TODAY!! lol u a legend with it lil bro 💪🏾

LOVING THESE LONG VIDS💯🙏🏾

It deadass makes more sense to get a part time job and pay for vc over just playing the game

I agree with everything said, it just bothers me to hear it when most of us without "a voice" in the 2K community have been saying this when Badge was defending 2K and know he's finally speaking how we've been wanting people with "voices" in the 2K community to speak up for us or share our views for a long time. He's not the only one speaking out about these issues but it almost feels like it's too late because 2K has gotten so big and has really no competition in the basketball gaming world right now 😢😢😢

Keep making the videos!!!!! They will hear you before they hear us

It’s time we take some accountability as a community these things are expected by 2k at this point 💯 It's time to either stop playing this game entirely or stop spending money on it 💯

New Sub here, I just started and it's so different from any other year. The shot meter is ridiculously broken

Tbh I’ll be fine with 2k if they fixed the damn delay! Makes no sense having a game that depends so much of timing down to the milliseconds and have the delayed screw it all over.

I remember watching those 2k19 videos man those were so good times 😢

It’s so bad man it’s really over from 2014 until last year I can’t take I’d rather have 2K 18 than this TRASH. At least 2K 18 you had your stretch big on the twos awesome content inspired me to make a stretch in 2K 19 along with my lockdown to a slashing playmaker OP build and then 2K 20 back to the stretch glass cleaner❤

Keep it up bro 2k need to level up when it come to developing the game cuase we spend money on it to be able to play it at a competitively level and it suck that this people steal money 💰 from us and by us i mean the players that realy play this game at certain level

That live u did wit brute n all city 🔥 they can open 19 servers back open n have a few tournaments

Its nice that you speak against gambling and promote it at the same time. F 2k at least you can win money at price picks

We need to hurry up and get badgeplug to 1mill HE’S RIGHT THERE

Nah because this is exactly the point of my stance on the game. It’s not just that it is bad, but the fact that it is supposed to be so much better, I love 2k. I love basketball and love to play the game. But it’s at such a low spot where I haven’t been on since the first month. Besides for short periods with friends. This game is such a shame and money grab and just makes me upset about because there is no other way to play basketball on the game

On current gen there’s currently a bug where 30 secs into a Rec game the server drops out and results in not only a loss it registers it as you quit the game

I stopped playing 2K after '19. I love basketball, and I used to love playing 2K. Lately, I've been really missing playing 2K, yelling with my friends, complaining about how garbage the game is, etc. It just makes me sad to see how little they care about the game and us fans. We badly need another developer to enter this market with a good game.

2k should make my career online . Since you already have starting 5 and all star team up they can definitely make online my career 1. Allow the owner of the league to customize the league 2. Request trade after certain game 3. Influence trade and free agent or allow the cpu to control the team. 4. Co op with friends like make a duo or make a big 3 and dominate in the league

this is sad playn a game yu truly love but deep down inside they have no love for the community sad man but love the vids evertime yu drop i kno its a banger

What’s that jumpshot u used for that wemby build

Hey badge man I really respect your content i like keeping up with 2k news even though i don’t really play anymore hopefully u can post my comment in a future video ❤

I need you to make a vid on how to opt out of these terms

Last season was my least played season of 2K (around 85 games) and I still ran into a handful of cheaters probably the worst I’ve seen in a while . The futures not looking good.

That comment from the beginning of the video is funny to me because it's obvious it came from someone who doesn't have to make any conscious decision on how they spend their money. The last time I genuinely enjoyed a 2K was during 2K19. I don't plan on getting the next one because I haven't even touched the game for more than two months this year, and still have zero desire to. I still hope they fix things tho. Its crazy cuz i grew up with this game being in my main rotation lmao.

NBA infinite been kinda lit tho 😂

Their only option is no more yearly releases. But I don’t think that would ever happen.

I wish we can see the amount of players online to see how dead this game is or if its not dead

This channel and the comments here on this video are the reason why i want things to be good again. The community to be going on again, cause at this point most of players who used to make 2K better are either tired of the game or not even playing anymore.

They really could implement a feature that will give you like 500 VC for getting for say a poster or making 2 shots in a row or having like a doublwe double, tripple double and the VC would climb depending on your stats and game

Only reason i play 2k rn is because i like basketball and have friends who love it to. Ive only got 3 builds rn and have only spent money on one of the builds. I only plan on building my pure offensive player and just running the 4 builds for when i play with friends. Im still going to play but im not going to experiment with new builds nor care about the rewards or try to grind it. Theres nothing special about the rewards to grind for. Just playing because basketball is fun.

Yurrr🎉 0:28

I miss the old days when we had options everywhere...inside drive, live, nba street, courtside, ballers, etc. How we got to the point we have one option and its trash is sad. We really just be playing this because we love hoop and gotta settle.

For me if you see this I haven’t played a new one since 2k18 and I barely played that and 16. I ended up playing NBA 2k8 a lot more because of college hoops 2k8 draft class and also 2k14 because of the mycareer mode. But seeing the downhill slippery slope that 2K has done it does feel shady like EA but also different and yet similar things but both are deplorable in their own way

we need a game company to make a basketball game that rivals 2K so that 2K actually has to listen to the community to get more players

Badge plug mentioned 2k is a multi billion dollar company but this multi billion dollar company can’t fix a 60 to $70 game why am i still going under ground on the got next spot in elite im just trying to buy boost🤦🏾‍♂️
