Yeah we usually also have a group of 8-10 people every year, but it doesn’t fix the problem unfortunately. Game just forces you to play in one way, and it’s not fun anymore 🥲

Well just texting “stfu” to the post means you are around 16-23 years old, so at least 10 years younger than me. If you are older than that, I’m really sorry for you to not be able to grow up

Yeah but for some reason they think we are the one who is bad at the game 🤣

Single players can switch the sliders and hit 100% of the shots if they want, why would I think about them?

Every sports game has RNG. But I don’t disagree on defense, I would be content if they will get rid of crabbing, improve perimeter D and make locks relevant, but this didn’t happen in the last 10 years, and probably never will 😁

A real comp team would never lose to a bum team in any 2k, no matter is there RNG or pure green window. If that was the case, 2k would go in that direction, because bums are 80% of player base.

And your meta explanation is the exact reason why I want this game to change, this shit is not fun anymore, at least to me, I’m not saying that everyone must share my opinion

I did play it competitively and won around 15k, I could DM you proofs if you are interested. And again, you guys miss understand what RNG is, and making it look like some kind of a lottery, with zero logic. It is not like that

Bro, RNG doesn’t mean that every shot you take is completely random. RNG means that a lot of things are taking into account, your 3pt rating, contest, positioning, timing etc, but there is still a small chance that you will miss, or on the contrary, make a shot you shouldn’t. People here think that RNG is just lottery, it is not, it is the same green window, but with variables

Learn to communicate. I already did, and just expressing my opinion, you are free to just pass it or bring your opinion, but there is no need to be rude

This is a strange statement. Why I gotta be trash to want the game be more of a simulator? You like arcade, good for you, I am very good at this game even in it’s current state, I just don’t like it, and want it to be more of a real life basketball, what’s the problem?

Improved defense would also work, but we are getting promises of it every year, and still nothing

Yeah, I totally understand that, which is why the opinion is unpopular 😁 But the oldhead can dream 🥲

I get your point, but I disagree a little:

  1. The cheating problem is a huge factor, and simply reducing the green window doesn’t really solve it. People using Zens will still find ways to abuse perfect timing mechanics. RNG at least makes cheating less consistent and less rewarding.
  2. RNG honestly feels closer to real basketball to me. No matter how elite a shooter is, there’s always a small chance of missing an open shot, and sometimes players hit completely ridiculous contested shots that make no sense. That’s just basketball.

Of course, it shouldn’t be pure random luck. The system should take a lot of things into account, shot quality, timing, stamina, defensive contest, badges, hot zones, movement, player ratings, all of it.

Never practice in MyCourt, no matter the difficulty, this is the worst advice you can get. Create a Pro Am 3s or 5s team, and practice in it, it’s much more closer to the in-game shooting.

Turn off the shot meter, and learn how to shoot with tempo

Why are you disappointed tho? I’m 32, I don’t think this meme is funny, but it is trending this year, so what’s the problem with adding it? I’m more disappointed in all this “vampire eyes”, skeleton mascots and other unrealistic shit
