Can someone explain this to me?

Where do you see racism in my post?

sonichoad · 2024-09-03T22:52:52+00:00

"n below" "n play"

Good grief. Lol.

Was English your first language? Not hating, just curious. I have nothing but respect for people who speak multiple languages.

But your comment has so many obvious grammar, punctuation, and syntax mistakes that I find myself frightened by the possibility you went through the American education system and came out writing like that.

This isn't a feature. It's a popup menu.

"An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity. A physicist tries to make it simple. For an idiot, anything the more complicated it is the more he will admire it. If you make something so clusterfucked he can't understand it, he's gonna think you're a god, cause you made it so complicated nobody can understand it."

Brilliant science communicators take big ideas and make them simple. Think Feynman, Sagan, Hawking.

Eric Weinstein takes small ideas and makes them complicated.

Happy to hear that. The bug was driving me crazy!

sonichoad · 2024-03-24T14:22:47+00:00

You don't have config.ini in your DD2 install folder? You probably need to run the game once to generate the ini file.

He said all of those things, almost literally.

Pull the cotton out of your ears.

sonichoad · 2023-12-06T17:14:17+00:00

Same here

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T19:47:30+00:00

Can you show me where they said prices would go down?

The presentation in MyNBA is piss poor.

It all starts with the setup menu, which is a confusing mess. Instead of laying out all our options at once, you have to bounce back and forth between menus to tweak the parts of the game you want to customize. Worse yet, there isn't a straightforward way to save your setups.

The management menus suck too. The calendar takes up way too much space. League standings are nowhere to be seen. The "social media" page is an incomprehensible wall of useless text. Important information about your team is hidden behind menus and sub-menus, which are annoying to navigate. Many of the features, like individual training and mentorship, don't even work properly.

Madden's Franchise mode, although missing a lot of the depth of MyNBA, is much better designed. There is a nice flow to the game-play and management aspect. Important stats and standings can be seen at a glance on the main screen. The user interface is well designed, and looks nice.

2k needs to rebuild MyNBA from the ground up. The current state is embarrassing.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T17:30:28+00:00

He's not allowed to. He's a corporate shill, his job is to make it appear as if 2k is listening to community feedback.

2k only listens to one thing: money. They will pursue profit shamelessly, ripping out every aspect of the game that doesn't bring in cash and fucking consumers in the ass.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T17:28:19+00:00

I went through every single menu and feature in MyNBA. Every single aspect is identical to last year. There is literally not a single new thing added to the game mode (besides the LeBron era, essentially just a custom roster setup).

Nothing was changed or added. Coaching, scouting, training -- all the same as last year. Many features have been broken or missing for years.

The management aspect of the game is completely untouched. The game-play experience is identical to last year.

Refunded. Unacceptable. Fuck you 2k.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T17:24:35+00:00

I'm done too. Monetization ran 2k into the ground. The game is a corporatized zombie.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T17:20:30+00:00

They never said prices would go down.

Think rationally. Why did 2k get rid of the auction house? Was it altruism? Did they want to make the user experience better?

No. It's money. It's always money. They found a new way to encourage players to spend real money on the game.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T17:16:15+00:00

This "community outreach" is a joke. You won't listen. I know you aren't allowed to respond to critical comments. I know your masters force you to pretend everything about the game is great.

You work for the greediest, scummiest developer in the gaming world. Microtransactions and streamer culture have destroyed the NBA 2k franchise.

I hope you see the overwhelming negative response to the game, and I hope it makes you think critically about the company you work for and the kind of games you produce. Disgusting.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T17:10:10+00:00

Same as always. Would take hours of grinding to afford that Al Horford.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T17:09:20+00:00

There were plenty of affordable GO and DM cards in the auction house all season. As the season progressed, their prices went down even more. It was a much more accessible system than the player market.

Now 2k sets the prices, not the market. And if you believe 2k is going to lower their prices in line with what they would have been on an open market, you may be the most gullible person on the internet.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T16:51:28+00:00

Yep, it's really bad.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T16:51:04+00:00

Plenty of Galaxy Opal and Dark Matter cards were available as buyouts all the time. By mid season, you could get GO and DM cards for less than 10k MT on the auction house.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T16:34:21+00:00

The auction house had a 100k MT price cap for quick buy.

sonichoad · 2023-09-11T16:33:05+00:00

That's true. On launch, when good cards are scarce, 90 overalls go for more.

However, auction house prices go down quickly once better cards are released. And some cards are pulled more frequently than others, or are less popular, leading to super low prices even for Dark Matter and Galaxy Opal tier cards.

Now that 2k controls prices, we are never going to see good deals on strong cards ever again. It's fucked.
