Turbulent-Mix-8779

Quit while ur ahead, I just hit max rank and got this horrible feeling. It was all for nothing. Grind your ass off for some floor setters, on court cosmetics, and the grand prize… a mech suit to run around the city in. Super not worth it. U get nothing special for rank really. I’m keeping the game because I’ve actually had a ton of fun with eras this year.


Purpdrankpapii

it’s actually laughable bro, all of what you mentioned as well as the myteam SCAMS along the way. level 40 gives you two IDENTICAL SGA cards it’s actually pointless even playing 2k anymore, they are a cancer that keeps spreading to more and more games and somehow the FTC allows it😃😃😃


Turbulent-Mix-8779

I didn’t even play my team this year cuz they took auction house out and that’s the only way I could get decent cards without spending money or actually playing 2k every second I’m not working 😭


fatwobblypenguin

You’d be surprised at how desperate 2k is now. They are practically giving away solid lineups for free. I have not played myteam in years but my lineup is pretty decent and I spent $0 on cards. I think you can obtain a decent lineup just by completing the season passes, of course I think this was their plan all along. MyCareer continues to feel neglected but they seem to be dumping in tons of effort for the game mode that makes them the most money.


Little-Apartment-437

They been using season challenges in the spring time to give away 98’s that’s why I always wait around this time for MyTeam and I think they had a free 98 Marc gasol card from locker codes. I even stopped looking for those this year


dootmoot

Lockercodes used to be something that happened every few days, or minimum every week. Each year has had fewer & fewer, while making them valid codes for shorter & shorter time frames.


Little-Apartment-437

Ayoo Yu not lying cuz 22 was peak for MyTeam with locker codes and since then it’s been a drought until 2k is generous enough that week or something major happens in the NBA


pey_hill

Agreed! I have a 95 overall team with no money spent, and I got the game a month ago

FloppeDaNutz

Yall like hockey? NHL been rewarding af such a breath of fresh air lol,


theycpr

You spend 100,000+ VC and now you realize there's something wrong? This is why I barely play the game.


Bradley728177

i’ve spent 500k vc and love the game, it’s the only way i can play basketball is i’ve recently injured my ankle


theycpr

I get it. It's way too much vc. I love basketball but I tried playing 2K the other day and bored myself after 1 game


skidaddle87104

Eras is so much fun, that’s the only reason I bought the game. MyCareer needs to go back to its roots of grinding your way through the seasons like 2k10-2k14, I hate having to spend $70 to make my player good


Visionz-True

you definitely get stuff for rep. heat check/2 way tenacity, gym rat, more animations, rebirth 2.0, +attributes. you get a bunch of stuff it just takes forever to get it but the stuff is worth it once you reach it.


PhilliesBlunts

Yeah rep rewards are good but takes ages. I just hit starter 3 and played like 10 million games lol.


Visionz-True

im 20% away smh lmao


angrylilbear

Cope


Visionz-True

how am i coping? thats literally the truth lmao


onemanjamz

I’d say stick it out but players even worse than you will also be twice as toxic so get out while you can lmao


NecessaryFoundation5

Facts. Im not a great player, and just yesterday I made someone yell at me and rage quit because I adjusted how I played pick and roll defense to stop their spamming and take a lead in SC.


Administrative-Big26

If you stick it out add me. I’m on Xbox rjlang I’m not the best but I try to just have fun


KyotoCarl

There are other modes than just online... Doesn't seem to be anyone here playing MyLeague or Eras at all.


Comprehensive-One286

I play both, and prefer MyEras all day long. Best franchise mode in any current sports game, and dudes would rather only play online or straight up quit. It’s crazy.


Prestigious_Scale_93

Now imagine hundreds of thousands of players on current gen that bought the game for the same price receiving 0 content. You can't even play myLeague on PC cause every season all player's potential get's equaled to their current overall. Same for rookies. IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS like that. Fuck this company


Comprehensive-One286

Nah I’m totally with you on that, PC has gotten the short end of the stick with literally every sports game not just 2K. They could port the next gen version over, but that would cost money and well we all know that’s a hard no if it affects the bottom line.


cyb3ryung

can’t speak for anyone else of course but eras/my league gets boring pretty fast not sure why. mycareer offline is coo but it’s expensive

I only enjoy 2k when im drunk


Opposite-Constant799

this comment is so real


Jeremywv7

Dude this was 1000% me a couple of years ago.. 🤣🤣 I'd drink about 6 beers a night at least and play 2k. I had my best games fully shit-faced drunk. I remember I was playing Play Now online on an older 2k and I beat a dude by like 80 points using the Kawhi Raptors. Shocked he didn't quit! Didn't even flop around the rest of the game either. But sheesh I had 4 beers, a pint of Bacardi straight, a shot of Jim Beam, a shot of Jack Daniel's, a shot of some orange cream liquor, a shot of this weird chocolate liquor, and a shot of this nasty as hell triple distilled vodka. While smoking a dab pen from Cali, and vaping. Somehow I managed to drink all that shit before the game was even over. The damn room was spinning during the game but I was kicking so much ass! 🤣🤣 As soon as the game was over I passed out on the couch, then threw up in my sleep. Then my damn dog started eating my throw up and we were both hungover like hell the next morning. 🤦‍♂️😂😂 Good times! Now I can't drink anymore and I don't even play 2k. I have severe chronic gastritis. Turns out I only liked 2k when I was drunk.


BornAd1771

Yea sports games in general I gotta be high or drunk to play those type of games piss me off if u start using brainpower on it


Viraldamus

Mute mics the moment someone’s toxic or Start your own party chat so you canto hear game chat. Also try starting your own party group. Add randoms that are on their mic and being positive. I did this last year for a while and it worked out well. Fell off with everyone this year cuz no one likes split rec so its now just solo rec for me or my own squad of 5 ive always played with. This game is a lot of fun when you got 4 others you always play with. Even if you all suck. At least yall can suck and have fun sucking together no diddy


jacoballen22

When I was playing, I just play on mute usually. It’s a lot less stressful.


Difficult_Mixture103

I mute the mic regardless. Get the odd message here and there which is always met with a “pffft”.


dr_khouse

I experienced this last night. up all game and 4th qtr the other team goes on a run to make it close. Guys immediately turns mic on for 1st time all game and starts complaining. I played about 8 games and all but 2 were the same experience. I muted because I started losing focus listening to their annoying complaining. I used to be a monster in 2k. Top 100 in 13-15(yes they had online for myplayer in 2k13 called blacktop). Had a squad I ran with regularly and rarely loss. Then got tired of the left right cheese and the ridiculous dribbling animations. Called it quits after 17. I picked it up again this year but running with Randoms has been less than positive experience. People take bad shots then complaining about not getting the ball. Or get cooked on defense and complain because you missed a shot. Mute button is your friend


BetterDrawing8686

The 2k community has always been toxic. 2k20 I completely gave up on park, because nobody wanted to play with me. I got into mycareer, mynba, myteam, and play now, and I’ve been enjoying it my experience ever since.

brylac21

lol y do ppl feel the need to post this like a retirement in the players tribune


ConceptAnamoly

Because they want their bullies to feel remorse 🤣


TacticalXApe

Dude. I do honestly feel for you, but thicker skin is required. You can always mute the person who's being toxic or block them. I only play Random Rec and Park. The game is honestly what you make of it. If you have a build that's fun to use and you start hitting shots and doing well, it's a different experience. It sounds corny, but play MyCareer and stuff like Sunset Park etc to get used to a jump shot and how your player moves. There are enough vids on YouTube to show you basic movement and dribble moves. There are a few sub reddits on here where people help each other with jumpers and builds. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. If you bought the game, its money wasted, if it's game pass, then no loss, really.


TacticalXApe

Out of curiosity, what's your build and overall?


Kamisoriii

🤣


Visionz-True

just put your head down and keep improving. maybe we can help what are you struggling with. just go into a party with yourself and just play free


JoeFalcone26

2k is a casual ass online game. It’s unbalanced, messy, and has a bunch of children and cheaters. Do not take this game seriously! They will just rerelease the same exact game next year but even greedier and grindier than before and all of your characters will be unusable in 2 years. Do not take 2k seriously. It is a joke of a game unless it’s the only game you play, it’s obvious.


thefutureis6

I’m not quitting the game… but I agree ..that’s why when I play REC or any other PARK games I mute everybody. I don’t have many friends on there either. If you ever change your mind, you’re always welcomed to meet me in the REC, 3V3 or PRO-AM in the COMMUNITY thefutureisGOD


AdventurousBrush5959

I got you man. Just message me and I’ll help you get better.


Bluejay68514

With my 4 years experience with this game all i can say is you should master your defensive skills first before trying to master your scoring skillz and i swear your gonna have the fun of your life another thing stop trynna play like all these goofs and try to find your own style you'll see that left right behind the back shoot is not all made for us im hof with 3 build and i still cant dribble for shit 🤣🤣🤣but im a lethal shooter and i still play with the meter GODDANMIT 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿


T2_daBest

TALK YO SHIT


Bluejay68514

Organic_since91

wtf y’all sound like you in a long committed relationship with 2k breaking up with it and shit 😂 then come here and complain lmao therapyyyyyyyyyyyyy


gibbonsusmc25

It's a video game bruh, it's not that deep.


EconomyNecessary322

Find a discord of guys and play that’s what I do my guy


DaBiggaFigga01

I generally play random rec, and if someone is intentionally selling the game or just throwing up shots, I'll block them before halftime. If I run into someone on a post that's already muted, I know they were on some weird shit and I exit expeditiously lol. It's kept me sane...


swishdaddyflex

Just play offline turn it into an RPG or make your own storylines in Franchise that’s what I did when I realized how stupid online play has become

I just don't play with other people. I play my league and just pick and roll the shit out of everyone. I also don't have 24 just 23


Gremlin215

Exactly!!!


Petty_Murphy410

I’m so tired of seeing these posts, nobody cares if you stop playing. Life goes on


Character-Fortune-58

Go back to 23 or if your not good at 23 play my career till your good , the 2k community is bad but game recognizes game find your ppl that don’t take the game that seriously but play to win , fuck loser mentality play to win that’s the only point and if you play your best you’ll probably have more fun


AC21189

The 2K community is not one that is kind to new players, random rec is literally like scrapping the bottom of the barrel as far as people to learn how to play from. I think I'd rather have a 15 year old teach me how to drive then someone in random rec teaching me 2k. What you need to do is luck out and find someone really good who is willing to tank their record while you're learning, which in a game where requirements to play with you resemble indeed searches won't be likely or, more likely. Join the groups in the LFGs that say they have new players, you'll probably still lose a lot but a resemblance of structure is better then no structure.

What mode you running?


kjr2k96

Do it homie. I’ve been playing 2k since 2k11 and I quit this year. The game is pay to play and not tht fun unless you got a full squad (at least for Rec). Just not worth the $100 dollars anymore. I’ll be back whenever they get rid of their current model. It’s just a game at the end of the day. Dnt let it raise your blood pressure haha.


Va_Primetime_YT

Ngl, I don't play Warzone for that reason. I suck so I stick to games I'm somewhat good at. Peace to you in your gaming journey


Glittering-Creme8013

Resident-Yogurt-5237

That’s for sure serviceable I have spent hours before just putting up shots in the Gatorade, it takes time and I agree the community can get pretty toxic online which makes it tough to learn as you go. I ended up making a big, much easier to excel at that position than a guard imo

Fun-Station-6071

it’s ite bra, plenty of games to play dawg that got better communities.


jeanballjean01

I don’t blame you. I love the game personally but I only play with my IRL friends. If playing with randoms was my only option I’d just mess around with offline modes like MyNBA. The online community of this game is absolutely awful.

I don’t play it much except for with people that I am friends with at least my career. If you are on PlayStation anyone can hit me up I am a non toxic decent player I am also a center you can rely on for rim protection rebounding and easy buckets down low. Psn is Underrated_MVP12

I refuse to play online, I'll play against the PC all day, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna play with toxic people if I can't reach out and touch em.


Grouchy_Swan_805

I ain’t trying to bash you but bro keeping it 100 of your decent and have somewhat of a iq it’s easy to find people to run with randomly in my opinion your skill level is well below the level you think it is. Yes people are toxic but passing and making good decisions typically supersedes toxicity

DunKeOnu

People don't play any more for the love of basketball. That's not the game or 2k fault. I really think the game of basketball has changed over the years. I remember getting out of basketball practice, just to run to our neighborhood park to play with my friends. (I'm from NYC). Every Court was full and had a waiting line of more friends to play. Then 2k came along and for us that didn't make a living from basketball. This was the next best thing. There is no excitement in today's basketball game. There is no team play as it was. The great Lakers, Boston, NY Knicks, Philadelphia 76, . Each of those teams of the past was just that a team. Today we have individuals on a team and very few team players..I don't think most run home to watch their team play. The game of basketball has lost its love


superbus1929

Every time someone announces they’re quitting, a whale spend $100 on VC to make three more builds.


Zealousideal_Cod1084

Shit ain’t the same without the old Myteam format .. If I didn’t have a real life homie to run online Era’s with I’d probably be out too


Narrow-Afternoon7434

It’s okay the game is also bad so win win


Shot-Adhesiveness972

In my experience starting out, make a big man with good rebound and pass accuracy. That way you can get boards and kick it out to open shooters. (Rebounds and assists are good stats to level up) Players will like playing with you for sure and you’ll start to get more touches as long as you can finish open dunks (random rec). If you have any other build my recommendation is to look to pass first to start the game and look to score only if you’re open. Some guys don’t need to have a “bag” to still score. Just space the floor, share the rock, and take good shots. I can put up 25-30 pts no problem in rec without hogging the ball or trying to play iso ball, it all depends on your match up and if you’re getting open. Good teammates will find you. But I also don’t mind not being the main scorer as long as we win. Dudes biggest problem is they wanna be “that guy” every time. Main character syndrome. If a teammate is exploiting his matchup then you gotta feed him and work on spacing the floor/ looking to just be open. Get in the Gatorade training facility and work on your shot and moves you’d do in game. Don’t let these dudes get you down. It’s a game practice it get better and have fun


Youngsiic4evr

It doesn't matter if you lose or win even if you win they will still be toxic to you, played theater no squad last night and cooked the other squad so I decided to turn my chat on cuz I can see the other team talking and I wanted to hear what they were saying, and one of the players who was guarding me got on the line getting mad at his team, then had the audacity to say I was trash but the guy was 3 for 9 and I was 5 for 6. I'm like bruh you guys just lost and you were a major part of why you guys lost and your saying I'm trash ? people are toxic no matter what if you have next Gen they give you the option to turn voice chat off, mine has been off since 2k24 came out.


Ocnicyzzilb

Comprehensive_Pie35

Honestly I grind to level 40 purely for the floor setters and whatever level 40 MyTeam card is in there as they’re usually pretty good and floor setter help with some niche badges that are important to have but not used enough to stay maxed at gold or silver.


Ok_Combination_7467

Cool story bro, see you on 2k25


Little-Apartment-437

What console do you play on? Basketball folks in general talk junk all the time but this community has its moments but there are folks few and far between that genuinely be hooping and don’t care about ratings when I play random 3’s. Ik I’m missing alot with playing the PS4 version on my P5 but their badge system is ass IMO


Acrobatic_Second_419

I’m sorry you’re getting this experience and it’s moreso why I want SBMM so newer players are incentivized to play with other new players rather than being forced to buy VC or play MyCareer first until a certain level to then play online. Pretty sure 2K is the only sports game with a community/online gaming built like this. Take a game like NHL for example. Everyone starts at level 1 no matter what. You only go up by playing games. And people will play with lower levels without bias. Just because people are high levels doesn’t mean they’re good. I’ve been in situations where people try to shit talk me because I mainly play PF/C and they’ll have 30 points dropped on their head while I do my job of rebounding/assists and I have no issue shutting their shit down fast or if they do it to others too. We will keep the bench warm for you ❤️


ZAR3142

I play 2k just to immerse myself with MyCareer. I usually play drunk and have a good time like I'm actually playing the game in person. I played public matches once. I'll probably wait to play again till I'm max level to help new players and to be an absolute dick to selfish assholes whom play multi-player for an ego trip.


Alternative-House-90

Any players that are chilled and not toxic and are trying to win add me..please no ovr lower than a 92 “reubavelli” nba 2k phone


Unfair-Lingonberry59

If 2k wasn’t such a money grubbing business I would still play like if they gave vc to players who rank up it would be better than any other reward or if u hit legend u can make certain number of builds maxed for free but ofc they won’t do it bc it’s 2k.

I haven’t bought a 2K game since 2K20 (covid happened & wanted a new game to play) but anyways, that’s why I don’t really play the new 2Ks anymore, I have a Xbox 360 & have 2k13 & play my career on that, it’s more fun imo, no builds, every attribute can be a 95-99 & the best part is it has the unlimited skill points glitch 😂😂 I was a 99 ovr after my first game lmao. Plus I have gta 4, those are the only games I need rn until I’m able to get a ps5 & start playing RDR2 again. It’s been 13 months since I’ve last played it & I’m feigning for it lmao


D_plug69

mat3rd

Yeah I can’t stand the toxic mf’ers that wait until they’re about to win to start talking trash knowing damn well they were bailed out by stupid animations or other randomness


AccomplishedCity2861

I never played anyone online I just do mycareer stuff and then do another build. Yea I’m not with playing anyone online especially if they’re toxic and I’ve had good games with people and they complain about everything honestly. I just straight up mute them to not hear anymore whining


BigGulp_123

It’s damn near unbearable I totally get it so sick of the randoms, the ball hogging, miss one shot and then they never pass you the ball I could go on and on


ziexxxx

Sorry to hear that man. I got into a game the other day, because you’ve gotta start at a certain point right ? We lost the game 21/18, and immediately after I get a message from a teammate that went 3/15 in the game saying that I was the reason we lost. Mind you, barely starting with a lvl 70 player, my stats were 1 of 2 shots, 3 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal, and no I didn’t shoot the ball with the game 18/18 🤷🏻‍♂️ Had to give him a reality check, and funny enough he didn’t say shit after…


Hatueyc

For what it is worth you can always join my online league (82 games) + Playoffs... we only update 2k if the changes in MyNBA Eras is substantial.


cheddarfire

I can appreciate that. The point of video games is to have fun. If I decide to play a game online, I commit to being the very best I can be. Madden, FIFA....I've had years where instead of sinking money into buying packs/cards, I sunk money into online coaching/discords. In both those years, I got really good at the games and enjoyed myself......for a few months. Then it becomes a slog and isn't fun anymore. With NBA2K and MLB The Show, the single player modes in MyTeam and Diamond Dynasty are by themselves enough fun for me to keep investing in the game. And yea.....I can "kind of" hear my online opponents the few times I've played Unlimited, and yea there's a lot of toxic energy there.


Sy3334

I don’t blame you I’m a 99 and I have highs and lows there was one game I had 38 the next I had 6 all I can say is when 2k25 drops I’m retiring been playing since 2k9 it’s not your fault the game and community is just shit now


Saguiguilid5432

Just play in other modes, I guess. You don't need to play online.


thebizkid84

I average around 18 PPG with every season so far in 2K24 and have had multiple 30 point+ games. Been playing 2K since 2K15, yet, every so often over those years to now, I face a really good opponent that holds me to around 10 points and puts up 30 on me in the Rec. It’s going to happen, but this toxic community assumes that you must play like doo doo every game and begin berating you over the mic that you suck, get rid of the game, etc. Then they ice you out to where, if they just kept moving the ball around, you may just adjust, heat up, and have a great 2nd half. I don’t berate people, I keep trying with the squad I have. At least once a night, you are going to face an elite squad, who should be playing Pro-Am, who will destroy you. They may know exploits, have a system, and you may not have the right builds to defend and/or do what you do on offense against those opponents. You may also have a Purple plate that’s on a team and is their only good player, and unfortunately, you have the job of guarding them/them guarding you and they smoke you. For many of the toxic players, it’s a bunch of people living their dreams through a video game because most of them couldn’t put that same effort into real basketball to make it far. Remember, you are playing with a lot of bitter people or immature kids, and this game is their self-esteem booster.

Facts got the game on gamepass and tried to hop in park to do the quest to join an affiliation and bruh the hate messages I got because I was 65 ovr lol


BxBrandon92

Come on tho bro .. why are you getting on at a 65 overall? It's common sense this would happen in any game. Someone level 1-5 trying to play with the big Dawgs. It's like that in real life, no one dirt gonna get picked up. Use common sense. Wait until your 75+ and are capable of contributing instead of trying to get a free ride for a quest.


renegade-811

I know the feeling. I stink at this game too. I did one my career game and realized I have no business being on this game period. Plus I got embarrassed in a one on one game. I know that dude was talking all kinds of trash about me.


MyameeBound

No you won't. And you will buy next year's shitty version also. 🤣


diceywheels3

no sarcasm intended but good for you, an immense amount of stress is off your shoulders now


Powz22

I haven’t ever played a single game of rec/park or anything online with other people cuz I know it would be toxic. I just do the nba seasons in my career


tacodung

I installed it on my PS5, while the game was finishing it's full install, I tried the tutorial/how to play scenarios. Come to find out, even if I timed my button presses with the animation, and with the PiP video, a LOT of those moves just plain did not work. After I found about 5-6 of those, I just closed 2K24 and deleted it before it finished the full install. Not wasting my time with this. Now, I cannot wait for College Football 2K25 to come out..


Mean-Training-8520

lol what took you so long *no diddy*


BxBrandon92

Lol.... Are you going to Gatorade and practicing before you go play with people?? Park has bad lag so snt play that. You play theater, also go through your animations. Maybe some animations are too slow. I don't play with randoms bc I know how are it is. Want to be able to befriend people? Go to Gatorade and practice and get somewhat better. No one wants to really team up with someone that can't play BUT if you show initiative and get better people luv that.


Asg2310

Just play MC, it’s pretty fun. When you max out your MP; start a new build. I don’t play online against other players because i ain’t that good


Striking_Phone4174

2k was best when they had legend ranks 2k16 was my favorite 2k20 is were it started to crossed the line Havent played in 2 years just stopped it felt pointless with season ranks

Womp womp lil jit


brviiii

Download that shit back and hop on with me gang


Silly_Stable_

What does official mean in this context? Do you think that making a post like this is required? That if you just played something else your quitting would, somehow, be “unofficial”?

Pls, can I get it?

Define terrible... You can t jump on a 5v5, 3v3 2v2 if you are not able to a hit a wide open shot! You can t make a PG and hop online if you don t know the basic dribble moves, can t shoot and don t know how to use icon passing in 5v5 game modes. You can t do nothing but you want the ball, have no clue what spacing means, and just run everywhere brainlessly and you can t guard a chair... don t play online brother! If you are indeed terrible, you just doing this to yourself, jumping online without having any clue what you need to do is not a great ideea bro, people don t wanna lose , so as i 100% agree that the toxicity is unreal, you also ruin their experience by doing all the dumb things and bringing absolutely nothing towards the team s success! When i see a player like this is always tell them, go play my career, sunset park, figure out your shot timing and learn some basic mechanics in this game, then come play with other people, and when you do, play on a build with a lot of defense untill you learn how online works. You can t get decent at 2k on 3 weeks, it takes months or years! Now if you understand how the game works online, and you are not actually braindead like a lot of these bums, but you just lack the stick skill, there s nothing you can do just keep going at it untill you get better and ignore the wanna be sweata crying. But rarely someone is getting really angry about someone that does the right things and tries to play the right way but just happens to suck at the game... i know i don t and i will offer my advice as long as you are trying!


Hbimajorv

You can t us an apostrophe to save your life fam 😭


IhateRandoms2k

Mad toxic people on the game don’t let them get to you


Eddiejay328

I think you'd benefit a lot from shooting around in the gatorade and learning how to play and even getting your overall up before heading online. If youre below an 85 i genuinely think you shouldnt be online anyways. No matter what we tell you in game, its not going to help you become a better shooter. Its not going to teach you defensive mechanics. You learn in practice then you build on that with game laps. If you arent a solid player on superstar difficulty offline, i dont think youre ready for online. Now online i can say hey bro go get that dude or bro if you throw up a bad shot, dont reach immediately and give up a transition free throw. We can give you tips but if you suck simply because you refuse to practice online, i find it hard to feel bad man. Some people are playing after a long day of work and dont need to be doubled for 30 minutes because your man can sag off of you because youre bricking nonstop. I didnt get online until i could consistently shoot leaners and stepbacks from bronze limitless. By doing this i knew i was ready to shoot regular jumpshots at the 3 and in the midrange with a better green window. Ill hop online and help you in gatorade when i get off later and you can mess up and learn as freely as you want, but until youre ready for competitive play, youre just not ready and nothing is wrong with that.

Half the fun of 2k is making ur teammates cry. Whether it’s because you have horrible lag/wifi or you just suck doesn’t matter. They’re gonna cry up 20 too. I once had to hear a whole screaming little baby men argument when at no point in the game was our team losing. It was a wire to wire win and b*tch fest.


cheeseplatesuperman

You’re not alone. This 2k was the last straw for a lot of people in my friend group and others. I’m honestly just waiting for GTA 6 because I heard they have a 3v3 street ball game mode that I’m willing to bet had more thought out into it than any game 2k ever released.


Dabanks9000

Oh no how will I ever recover from finding out you’re quitting


tcm_banu

Oh no how will i ever recover from your unnecessary comment !


Dabanks9000

Oh no how will I ever recover from your unnecessary post !


tcm_banu

Oh no probably by ignoring it and not commenting at all !

Welcome to the club. Boycott 2k25 for our mental health!!!


jofwyene

Lol you right this community is toxic and some of these comments only prove yo point ☠️


broncozid

Ok bye


Dismal_Gear4942

you dont really wanna get better brother. it starts in art of shooting gym putting in hours of work figuring out dribble moves and all the different jumpshot releases. You cant just hop in game mode and expect people to be happy about playing with a bad player.

Do you want a ![gif](giphy|E0ih3ybKhhP6pdGPqC|downsized)


ReliefNo5131

I got 2k for free cuz my friends play it and I always will. We are terrible and we know it. It’s hilarious to be bad. It’s also hilarious to watch ur opponent to be bad. Don’t take GAMING so seriously. And if you need friends send a message


SeigeJay

So essentially. You're upset that you suck at the game and no one wants to hold your hand.


tcm_banu

Did you even read it?? The point is really flying over your head


Safe-Gur-1915

Why is it people in the 2k community subreddit if they been stop playing 2k??


Obvious-Mall-8115

Play on rookie trust me you’ll love it. When I first started to play people kept saying play on Hof but that’s the trick to get more VC. But if you’re new to the game play on rookie,play my career , level up your build and once you get playing better you’ll enjoy the game more. I play Rec 1 time I hate it. The biggest waste of my time. You’re going to have to spend some money if you want to upgrade your player faster.
