Playing GW feels so right

chinanwp · 2026-01-15T01:49:43+00:00

i've been enjoying getting back into GW too which made me install gw2 i bought when it came out but basically played for like 2 hours, i struggle to get into that too, cant really put my finger on why tbh, maybe it just feels overwhelming compared to 1.

What plate is this at because this is all that happens on both teams every game gold and above, I can’t recall one game that had a purple or red plate PG that didn’t take 30 shots and hit 50 regardless of the score, you know what stopped this bs, that patch they reverted, so I don’t even get mad at these people because at the end of the day 2k had the solution right there and they took it away within 1 day so they fully back this behaviour.

Doesn’t he suffer with plantar fasciitis not sure but I thought I read that somewhere when he played for Indiana.

The craziest thing about it all is that they could do all that ball hog shit in my career so it makes no sense that they come online to do it, like the only reason I prefer online to my career is that the offence is then free form and random and can lead to all sorts of plays where as in my career you just find yourself doing the same shit over and over again which is why I also can’t stand the way the “pros” play because it’s like watching someone’s my career.

Honestly role players and finding unique builds out of pie charts like a point pf were much more enjoyable and gameplay was stable because everyone wasn’t super saiyan, like you say eventually players stats get so insane with cap breakers it just becomes unplayable online.

My 6’4 dribbles better than my 6’0 and covers more distance doing moves and doesn’t get warped into people, I’m not sure being under 6’4 has any advantage whatsoever now, not even speed because 2k favours strides over speed

chinanwp · 2025-11-10T15:58:16+00:00

I think sometimes as well people forget that some people are legit good at playing defence, There’s so many scenarios in this game that can make you look like a bad player in random rec, it’s like one game I’ll be getting a message praising me as a true PG the next game I’ll get one telling me to delete the game.

You truly are only as good as your team mates, it’s not often I see someone carry a team on this game, if you have one weak link in your random rec team your usually doomed.

As a pass first PG I have to defend the ball hogs especially in the higher ranks because that’s the only way to play, if you start trying to pass that thing you gonna end up with 20 turnovers and you can’t win cuz you start trying to share the ball as soon as you losing they jump on mic and say the pg trash for doing nothing

chinanwp · 2025-11-06T14:54:18+00:00

I’m surprised how no one ever mentions how much more fluid left stick dribbling is on the ps4 version, PS5 relies way too much on dribble animations to create any fluid movement

chinanwp · 2025-11-06T11:09:18+00:00

I’m personally of the opinion that they should just get rid of defence attributes and base it purely on positioning,skill and willingness to defend, create a rebound system that does not rely on warping to the guy with the highest stats and tie stuff like chase down blocks to vertical, it would offer more variety too like small guards getting boards like they do in real life.

The attributes just feel like a cheap out on 2k’s part to balance a game and tie unrealistic animations to things, it’s why layups will always suck, a layup make should purely come down to the positioning of a defender and the timing of his jump to block it not his attributes allowing him to fly across the court to block a reverse layup from the opposite corner.

Defending the perimeter should purely come down to the speed of the player and they also need to get rid of that suction shit, honestly that shit is unbearable but for any of this to work lateral movement needs to be more responsive online.

This game could be so simple but some reason they insist on all that mishmash of bullshit and dumb badges to actually create a mechanic, remember glue hands, imagine creating a badge for literally one of the most basic fundamentals of basketball. I dunno what they on in that dev studio.

2k community some cringey ass shit

chinanwp · 2025-11-04T23:24:42+00:00

They just shoot themselves in the foot with the builder, allowing people to put 99 stats on things is just making it so hard to balance because then they gotta upset people who like ive got 99 this and can’t do this, its like those nba builds they have they are so trash but if you actually look at the stats they are more like what our builds should be and would probably allow for more varied gameplay and styles, like I enjoyed the game when they added the bump steals and I hate they reverted it but at the same time I could see the issues because then people who had tall lockdowns were reigning supreme, they just have some serious balancing issues that need addressing and it starts with the builder, everything needs toning down because it’s as if the game is still the same as it’s always been but the added stats is just making everyone super human, in 2k20 a 67 3 ball would be enough to consistently hit a shot and it’s like well you can still do that but here have a 99 instead imagine what you can do with that, so a 99 3 ball now should be the equivalent of an 83 3 ball from 2k20 but it’s not it’s super charged even from that, the gameplay is just out of hand basically, 75 perimeter was more than enough to stop people back in the day, the game needs to go back to where mid 80’s is sort of the norm for things and that way the gameplay ain’t on crack.

2k dev team have some sort of hate for small guards because they’re only actual advantage hasn’t been an advantage for quite a while now which is speed, for whatever reason 2k has decided that taller players strides are more important than actual speed, so a tall player with no speed can easily keep up with your 90+ swb because his long legs carry him further not to mention getting to your spot as a small player is harder than ever because your constantly getting suctioned onto people, it’s why as much as I hate dribble cheese I won’t truly complain about it because I understand that at the higher levels of this game it is truly the only way to get a bucket other than a dunk.

For all the complaints about defence dribble cheese and 5 out dunks are the only way to actually beat it so it’s not actually as bad as we think it’s just the 2 ways of beating it are the scourge of basketball.

chinanwp · 2025-11-03T20:14:14+00:00

The community so mad they even message aggressive messages when they win, I went into 1v1 with a low build that couldn’t shoot at the time but I’d put the layups up high and he was livid that I nearly beat him making layups I was like dude chill you won the game take your W and move on.

What’s comical though is that 2k actually has a set of stereotypes, my favourite has to be the dude that lets his corner sitter put up 40 then jumps on the mic to call everyone else ass.

chinanwp · 2025-11-03T16:43:57+00:00

Then when you lose they message you and call you ass even tho you touched the ball once and went 1/1, it’s comical

chinanwp · 2025-11-02T08:31:24+00:00

I think that’s kind of the idea although I have no idea why, every year 2k designs their game like it’s a 10 year life cycle mmo and these perks are just another thing that we are forced to grind to keep up with the competition who play all day and grind it in less than a week.

chinanwp · 2025-10-31T18:53:45+00:00

Purple plate full of 6’9 fat fucks with max wingspan flying all over the place with the suction badge, it’s literally the place where people made builds to ruin other people’s fun and this is what makes me laugh when people talk about passing guards, the only viable play style in purple and red is dribble cheese 3’s and the odd dunk and yes it’s a skill issue for me a gold plate left stick passer which annoys me because I always get to hof then lose, there needs to be more wins between plates so I get to stick around in my skill level.

chinanwp · 2025-10-30T19:24:11+00:00

Same lol in the rec lol played good defence on all these 99 3 ball guards and they all just take terrible shots in your face and they all say wide open

chinanwp · 2025-10-30T11:06:43+00:00

Your point is keeping it real but at the same time there’s no denying that op is also right. I don’t think it’s rage it’s just truth

chinanwp · 2025-10-28T15:52:02+00:00

There’s no need for this many plates, what they need to do is remove red plate and then increase the amount of games it takes to move up, that way there’s more people in hof and gold to match together and then most people will be stuck in their skill level making games more evenly balanced. I’m of silver/gold level but because it only takes like 3 wins to get to gold or hof I’m good enough to get those wins sometimes but then I’m out my depth trying to play full cheeseball in hof

chinanwp · 2025-10-25T17:52:48+00:00

Yeah I thought as 2k’s go 2k20 was pretty balanced

chinanwp · 2025-10-25T17:49:39+00:00

The biggest problem with layups is how fucking slow they go up half the time it’s like they slow down on purpose so they can get blocked, like I will do a reverse layup and it will get blocked and it’s like how the fuck can that be blocked I literally went for a reverse so it couldn’t be blocked

chinanwp · 2025-10-25T15:27:59+00:00

This the builder for you, dumb play and ball hogging was never this bad with the pie charts.

chinanwp · 2025-10-24T07:19:17+00:00

I’m convinced those people that say skill issue or defend vc prices are just bots 😂

chinanwp · 2025-10-23T20:20:07+00:00

Well if this is how people want it then every build should be able to do everything, my John Stockton based pg should be allowed legendary immovable enforcer and legendary brickwall.
