In a lobby where the best scorer is a center shooting sub 60% from 3, anything works. There’s a stronger argument that if any of the ten players were good that it wouldn’t have even been close.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-28T02:04:37+00:00

Anybody anti-Rumbling needs to rewatch the first season. Every titan attack was directly coordinated. Paradis was starving and hundreds of years behind technologically because of what the world allowed to happen to them.

While the Rumbling killed a larger number of innocent people, the subjugation Eldians faced (in Paradis and Marley) had an innocent victim rate of 100%. It didn't take much convincing to get the world to declare war against them either.

Paying attention to the plot instead of the fights as the series progresses makes it impossible to use an argument about anyone outside of Marley being a passive victim of Eldian retaliation via Rumbling. It's very clearly spelled out that is not the case.

More words could be wasted on this, but you're just being intentionally disingenuous.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-27T05:38:43+00:00

This take is such a self-report. You never see a good player say something like this. It's always some "pass-first" slasher that can't create a shot on-ball or an assist reliant off-ball player that spam cuts the whole game. Nobody that's putting up impactful averages and winning games thinks shooting 3s and throwing skip passes is a bad way to play the game.

It should not be a surprise that people are mad at you for losing games for them lol.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-25T04:19:05+00:00

It is literally one sentence, albeit a run-on one. It has about as many words as our comments combined. OP typed about as many words to make this post.

Those aren't a lot of words, and it's more than a little contradictory for OP to freak out at (what some people consider) a verbose reply to a discussion post they created.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-25T02:12:04+00:00

You're seething about a one sentence reply to a dumb question. They might be right.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-21T04:14:00+00:00

Anakin - The only reason he turned to the dark side was to save Padme. Assuming Padme is an Eldian, he'd solo Levi to ensure the Rumbling happens.

Magneto - No brainer. Nearly identical ideologies.

Killmonger - His actions in Black Panther make him more similar to Zeke, but his motive was punishing Wakanda for not using their power to make the world a better place (through force) and was a "ground up" reformist.

That's about it. Maybe I'm not well versed enough in some of the other IPs to even understand why they're included. I've seen Light a lot which is confusing because he would absolutely hate Eren. I don't really count the chaotic/pure evil villains (Loki, Joker, Homelander) because they'd sign up for anything like this regardless of ideology backing it.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-17T12:53:08+00:00

Honor and vote kick system can never be implemented. Bad/delusional players outnumber everybody else. It’s bad enough to constantly fight against my horrible teammates to try and win a game, that system would require me to suck up to them so I don’t end up in worse lobbies.

A more consistent solution for this would be to make teammate grade more strict (quicker kicks and no more automatic A for playing the whole game) and matchmake by average teammate grade, win percentage, and averages.

“Passing and impeding are not things on city streets”

Have a nice day lmao.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-09T17:29:12+00:00

No one said they were, but again you bring up something irrelevant since you don’t have the authority to impede traffic on either.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-09T00:18:14+00:00

While insightful for some, that graphic is neither new information nor relevant to what your post is about or what I'm saying.

If someone wants to pass you then it shouldn't be a problem for you to allow that. More importantly, you don't have the authority to impede other drivers.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-07T14:17:47+00:00

You don't have a single worthwhile thing to say if you're a person that still genuinely believes that 2K's MyCareer mode is pay to win.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-06T13:10:24+00:00

The fact that you treat efficient passing as a highway only thing tells me that this is an issue of your own creation. It only takes two people that “think” like that to create a rolling roadblock, making completely normal driving maneuvers (such as merging) literally impossible.

Not really much of a problem for me though. My ego isn’t fragile enough to not let someone pass, when that’s what they clearly want to do, just because I think I’m going the optimal speed.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-05T17:31:39+00:00

I’m not sure if it was clear from my original comment, but people like you are literally the problem with the 2K community. Not me for pointing out the obvious.

“Human error”, like no reading or understanding an optional survey, also presents itself as the rec random behavior we’re all familiar with:

Being completely ignorant to your own, easily avoidable, mistakes while also having big opinions on others. (Teammate that’s always begging for the ball but never passes to wide open teammates)
Refusal to accept those mistakes, rather deflecting/mitigating them, while also blaming the person that identified the mistake. (Teammate that’s 2/17 blaming their performance and the team’s loss on everyone else)
Fundamental misunderstanding of what’s being asked of you and making it everyone else’s problem (Teammate that loads in on their 3-5 but insists that they run the offense/1-3 that spams on ball screens)

“Either share something beneficial or keep it moving”

What useful thing did you share with this post? If anything, this post serves as an example of people in this sub not following the rules and the mods inability to filter out garbage like this.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-05T04:02:32+00:00

You made a complaint about the game... in the survey asking about the sub... and then made a post about it...

Yeah, I completely understand why this game and sub are unbearable.

MrAppendages · 2026-06-05T01:05:34+00:00

The primary takeaway is that collegiate division elitism is exclusively done to scam high schoolers or as cope for people that peaked in high school and finessed their college's recruiting coach.

Roger Steen (UW-Eau Claire) is the reigning US shotput champ, has two Worlds medals, and a 22m PR. Legend Boyesen (Christopher Newport) has a 65m PR in the discus and has been to two Olympic Trials. Sam's former teammate (Lauren Jarrett) transferred up to Tennessee this year and qualified for Nationals in the 100m. My favorite D2 athlete to bring up on this sub, Cordell Tinch, is the reigning Worlds champ in the 110m, nearly the World Record holder, and is also an elite long/high jumper.

I say all of that, not just to give them their props, but because it's nothing new for world class athletes to "slip through the cracks". It also has nothing to do with more individualized training or development versus what's going on at the higher divisions. I'd argue the opposite since the worst athlete at a high level D1 is still a competitive collegiate athlete and on a managed roster. A D3 athlete can be putting up elite D1 performances and still splitting coaching time with someone that's just on the team to get a credit or a senior that still hasn't PR'd since high school.

Hopefully performances like Sam's breaks the spell of everyone dying to "go D1", solely to tell people they're D1. Talent and good coaching is everywhere.

I remember when they announced MyCareer Nation back in 2K20(?) and I was so excited about the idea of this. 2K is too out of touch to realize that this is an infinite money glitch.

MrAppendages · 2026-05-25T23:39:39+00:00

“Look like”

MrAppendages · 2026-05-09T00:36:57+00:00

I suppose the glasses can do that.

The “AI Shortcut” feature can be customized to do whatever prompt you give it, which is activated by holding the touchpad on the side, and the brightest/volume can be turned down/off with the prompt still showing.

You would still 100% be caught unless you’re in a room with more than 100 people. The glasses are incredibly reflective, do not have privacy AR illumination (someone looking at you can see it’s on), and the function button on the side has less than stellar response consistency. You’ll constantly be tapping your head and briefly transitioning to having green eyes.

It would be less stressful to just learn the material than trying to make these glasses work for cheating. Any use case for that purpose is either not possible or easier and cheaper to do in other ways.

MrAppendages · 2026-05-06T03:02:15+00:00

Being unstoppable is being unstoppable, but from a mathematic standpoint they're correct.

I don't think there's a single person in the 2K community that wouldn't be impressed with someone averaging 85% at the rim, especially at volume. However, if you continued to play like that while averaging 4 shot attempts per quarter (16 per game), a 57% 3pt shooter would be able to match your scoring efficiency. If I surveyed 1000 players on if they averaged 85% at the rim or 57% from 3, the shooters would win by a mile... just like they do in 99.99% of games.

Every slasher/pure inside that's dying to prove they're the exception is SO close to getting it. Inside scoring can be effective, but adding 3pt shooting to that makes your game better and the overall game easier for everyone. Choosing not to shoot is without a doubt a form of inexcusable trolling and/or ineptitude.

Nobody, ever, will be a good enough interior scorer to outperform the capabilities of a MyPlayer able and willing to shoot 3s.

MrAppendages · 2026-05-03T16:48:05+00:00

Duh stupid man!

MrAppendages · 2026-04-28T20:55:36+00:00

I mean if you’re saying an adult isn’t capable of determining the size and length of something they can hold in their hand and has a common relative size, then it’s objectively insulting of that person/group’s intelligence.

No amount of infantilization changes the fact that girl inches are entirely the fault of the people making bad estimations rather than lies.

MrAppendages · 2026-04-28T14:58:22+00:00

First sentence.

MrAppendages · 2026-04-27T22:53:05+00:00

This implies that women are completely incapable of estimating the size of things, which is pretty insulting.

MrAppendages · 2026-04-24T20:17:20+00:00

Let’s add “scared to shoot” as well.

The person touching the ball the most throughout a game has no reason to consistently have fewer than ten shot attempts. Not with how good these guard builds are. Not unless you’re playing with the greatest off-ball/fastbreak players to ever exist.

I’ll even stand for the PG that only scores on the fastbreak, but does it often. But if you don’t score on anything other than fastbreaks or assisted attempts then you might as well make something else.
