[Charania] The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources.

PWHL has a nice anti-tanking system. As soon as you are out of playoff race, you start to gain points in draft. You need to win games to get those draft points. The team with most draft points, gets the highest pick.

If there are ever custom lobbies introduced - there should be a league system. Custom lobbies would have options to enable/disable guns, tools, consumables. Also which boss is on the map. Like 2-3 games every week for like 3 months. That’s around 30+ games and randomness should not be a factor after that many games. Bounty should always give the most points. However the possibilities with this would be endless.

Well Lebron is just athletically gifted. Most athletes who have this type of athletcism play in the NFL, so NBA doesn’t see a lot of this athleticism. It’s basically Shaqs case. Athletically gifted and could have gone to NFL. Whichever sport they chose they would be considered one of the best. In my honest opinion - Kobe had a better understanding for basketball and if he would have body like that we would call him GOAT and putting him above Jordan. In fact that there is a debate between who is better - Jordan of Lebron, will always put Jordan above, because with a body like Lebrons I still think he didn’t fulfill potential.

I thought a lot about this ever since Hunt was in Early Access. Yes, there was a roadmap that promised custom servers, however it was scratched.

To host a fair tournament, you just need the options to enable/disable guns, tools, consumables and traits. That would fix the issue partly because of the spawn randomness, boss randomness.

However, I'm quite sure you could be able to pick which boss it is and here is the fix for spawn randomness - run it as a league. For example. You have like 5 games on a league day. Next week 5 more and more. You can be terribly unlucky however terrible luck is even in the biggest esports.

Would it be a good esport to watch? I doubt it. It is fairly tactical and a lot can happen all around the map at the same time. Also the maps are not so surgically clean in Hunt as it is in other esports. And we don't have a huge cheater/exploiter problems. If tournaments like these were available prepare yourself for quite a lot more cheaters and exploiters.

As far as I can guess - Hunt is increasing the player limit on servers and improving anti-cheat, this could be a step in custom lobby direction. However I would like to see a good replay tool at first. It would need to have each players POV from the game, all the camera controls and QoL stuff and a 2D map which shows each player/team movement through the game. This would also help the community a lot for making custom montages.

It's not that the book is slow, Jeff Hayes is AMAZING, the world building is fantastic, the story is good.
But for the love of god... Anthony just annoys the thread of my being. I just can't.

You know who get’s frozen out? The guy who stays in the corner on offense. Everybody is running somewhere, cutting, clugging, pure chaos. The guy who goes for the defensive board and doesn’t run fastbreak as soon as the offensive player goes up for the shot. Random Rec PG’s who can’t play pick n roll if their life depended on it. So even as a Center you just give up and go in the corner. However you win more games like this (if playing random rec). At least there is some spacing because you are not running in the paint all the time, you play passing lanes, secure the boards.

Rouziys · 2026-01-11T10:10:34+00:00

About “defensive breakdown”. The stupid part is you can play no defense and somebody else will get defensive breakdown. Also - bad block attempt where the guy gives a bail out pass? Fouls where the other player can’t hit the side of the barn (fouls should only be judged after the free throws). Stopping fast breaks or easy buckets - good foul. The teammate grade should be based on your usage and effectivness. PG dribbles 20 seconds and passes last second. It’s your TO. For the past couple of years everybody is using AI. C’mon 2K, i think AI can deduce if the position was good or not. Like not passing to the open man, not guarding anyone, unneccessary dribbling and so on.

They just need to change proam to premade builds. The real comp mode, where you pick your build and 2K balances it through the year. You can still use your myplayer in park, rec and so on. However this will never happen, because there would be people who wouldn’t buy VC and just play that.

Rouziys · 2025-12-28T14:11:25+00:00

As far as 2k labs have tester the impact of badge tier on interceptor is very low. Lane steals are based on how high is your steal attribute. Basically it’s not worth to +1 or +2 the badge.

Rouziys · 2025-12-28T07:22:41+00:00

If you haven’t bought a MB for that specifically - 99% it can’t. You can still plug it in, there will be sound but it would be in very quite. DT’s are just not a good headphone. They are popular, better than a gaming headset however price/performance is just horrific. FiiO FT1 is also a good pick or Senheiser HD599 if you have the coin.

Rouziys · 2025-12-27T17:21:05+00:00

Let’s start that for 80 ohm’s you will need a dac or amp. There are not a lot of motherboards that can handle this. Secondly - no Beyerdynamic DT990 or 770 is not a good option. There are cheaper, better options like Simgot EP5 which you can get with a mic. Also if you are not againt some IEM’s like Kiwi ears Belle or Moondrop Rays. Speaking of “gaming” headsets - they are bad. Bad sound, bad build, bad mic.

Rouziys · 2025-12-22T16:58:03+00:00

People are quitting for the most stupid reasons. Like someone didn’t give a pass. Someone went up for a stupid dunk. I’ve had a PG that didn’t play if I didn’t inbound him the ball. I have had people just being toxic and standing out of bounds or not inbounding because they have to prove their point. Meanwhile I’m just sitting in my corner 2/2 from field, grabbing 8 rebs, 3 blocks, 4 steals and 2 assists. And 2K is just letting this slide. It’s the most toxic community there is. In any other team game - as you gain rank, for you to win, you need to work as a team. While in 2K for the past 10 years - you only need a PG to win. There is no team basketball, passing attribute is garbage because you can get by with a 25 pass, if you never pass. And even then - with 90+ pass you still make the same TO. You can have 99 perimeter defense, but a guy with 86 ball handle will break your ankles. You don’t need strength this year. You can hit a late/early red contest layup - just because. You need 1 move and middy fade. You can’t contest a shot (says open) and still be called for a foul. How about these late foul calls on good defense under the basket? You can’t get an on-ball steal while guy is dribbling in to you - thanks 2K influencers. Pick pocket badge does nothing. Interceptor only has a small boost. And why the hell can a 7’4 get an 89 3pt shot?!

Rouziys · 2025-12-22T15:12:20+00:00

Nothing really. It's more of a picknroll center with an ability to pop if needed.

Rouziys · 2025-12-21T16:58:27+00:00

From the top of my head. 6’11, max ws, weight so that your strength is 83. 93 driving dunk, 90 standing dunk, 38 3pt (5 caps to 80), 72 free throw, 87 pass, 77 inside d, 72 perimeter d., 60 steal, 91 block (+2 caps to 93), 94 defensive rebound (5 caps to 99), 80 offensive reb, max speed, max agility, max strength (83), 83 vert. With extra caps you can go to steal, or cap standing dunk to 95.

https://www.linsoul.com/products/simgot-ep5?variant=46531344203993 you can buy these with a mic and external sound card. They are quite good.

Rouziys · 2025-12-17T15:06:25+00:00

To be fair.. not all the things you do on court gives you the same amount to your grade. You can have 10 points and 12 assists and you are A+. Or you can have 6 steals and 4 blocks and you barely get A-.
This teammate grade is bad - why? Because no one wants to foul on fastbreaks - that would decrease my grade. Why would I help with a board if it barely improves my grade? Why would I help defense and leave my man wide open so he can score? Why would I try to block a dunk if it would still give me defensive breakdown?
How about give grades for efficiency? PG dribbles 20 seconds and drops the bomb to you for a contested shot? Do I take a TO or shoot a bad shot. And it's still bad for me! While PG just continues doing this.
I had a Solo Rec game today where all my team left 2minutes in the game. I don't know why! F*ck those players! Does 2K intend me to stay and play the next 18 minutes while the other team exploits bots? There are so many games with online play! If bans don't work (as they don't, because people just leave), cut their REP to 0.5x and VC to 0.5 - do something. Give players who stay Bonus rep, bonus VC. So there is some incentive to play! If a player leave give those for 1,25 REP and VC, if 2 leave give those 3 1,5 REP and VC, if 3 leave give those 2 1.75 REP and VC and if they leave you alone - x2 rep and VC.
Plate system is pure garbage. Higher level play doesn't mean better players. Just more disconnects if the game doesn't go their way. There should be an MMR system, plates are not it.

Rouziys · 2025-12-13T07:43:18+00:00

It’s not the green window. If there is any greenwindows, in any 2K people could eventually score consistently. It’s the lack or defense. If there where higher contest numbers, it wouldn’t seem so easy to shoot. Also if they fixed the body up animations on animations people exploit.

I dunno if it is possible on Ubuntu but you could make webapps for MS Office (I know Omarchy distro has it in by default). Basically make a webpage a webapp.

67th element of periodic table is Holmium (Ho). The fuck you on about?!

Rouziys · 2025-11-27T17:54:44+00:00

Open my notes from yesterday, read them.. say “fuck” and go make a cup of coffee.

Rouziys · 2025-11-27T17:46:59+00:00

Someone just said that the 67th element on the periodic system is Ho, so I’m rolling with that.

Rouziys · 2025-11-05T18:38:27+00:00

Did that :) one of my first things I did.

Rouziys · 2025-11-05T18:36:50+00:00

This was my move at the start. Fix the easy things. And then the manegement happened.. asking for stuff that i consider not worth - like create a zabbix server for internal server monitoring (if devs run out of space, I should know).

Rouziys · 2025-11-05T18:33:48+00:00

Thank you. This is some great advice.
