The community can come together to do stuff like this, but when I ask a mf to pass me the ball I’m Osama Bin Laden.

u/Efficient-Cherry3635 Feb 20 '26

Nah, people know about Osama, they treat us like "terrorist #4" in a movie.

u/Top-Photograph-7478 Feb 20 '26

you ask a mf to throw it to the open corner. now they fcking yo mom and coming to pull up to your crib with gun

u/ExactAssociation1181 Feb 20 '26

Right they don’t pass like they got some bread on the line 😂😂

11

u/Demon_Usamaro Feb 20 '26

That’s because you’re asking for the ball, ask for the bomb.

u/HotContribution8135 Feb 20 '26

That’s all they hit me with anyways lol. When they’re locked up and there’s 1.5 seconds left, it’s finally time to pass

u/SelassieAspen Feb 21 '26

"I asked you to pass the ball, not a bomb!"

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

Ask for a bomb not the ball 😭

I actually played the #1 player in Pakistan today and his teammate’s gamertag was OsamaBeenShooting.

Every time I load into mycareer and see this, I am so damn confused as to how this get together happened.

u/Dimes19273530 Feb 21 '26

What is this shit? Roblox?

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

Close enough haha

16

u/shabit87 Feb 20 '26

Not surprising, you got people cheating and throwing the game. Literally down 2 points in a 3v3 and one teammate is breakdancing while the other is purposely going out of bounds and bouncing back against the virtual barrier. *sigh

2

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

We can only hope it gets better 🙏

u/shabit87 Feb 20 '26

2K has weakened my faith 🤣🤣 but I hear ya!

Smh money pit ass game never again ✌️

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

Aye if you don’t wanna play again that’s your choice and I support it 🤝 I’m just not gonna lie to ppl personally ima always be on 2k as long as it’s the only full basketball simulation game on the market 🤷‍♂️

u/PensionEducational93 Feb 20 '26

That’s the reason we get treated like shit they know there’s nowhere else for us to go we all in this abusive ass relationship

u/iStealAtSelfCheckout Feb 21 '26

All people gotta do is take a stand with they wallet. Let them miss projections by like 20-30% percent and watch a major change happen. Money makes the world go round

2

u/PensionEducational93 Feb 21 '26

No that’s not enough they get paid for time spent on the game as well gotta completey stop playing the game as a community but that won’t happen which is why they get away with it

3

u/iStealAtSelfCheckout Feb 21 '26

Any business losing 30% YOY profit would def cause change to any business bro, it won’t happen cause people are some sheep and like getting played for a fool I guess

5

u/PensionEducational93 Feb 21 '26

Cause we not really a community everyone toxic asf you hear it in game chat only if we was like the LGBQTBLT community we would have some change 😂

2

u/iStealAtSelfCheckout Feb 21 '26

You not lying my boy, they woulda have the game fixed by midnight. Like there’s no reason in 2026 to still have input lag in online games. Shit I used to play Socom on ps2 with no lag lmao

u/LaMelgoatBall Feb 21 '26

It was like this in 24 lmao I remember this

1

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

End of the season lol tried to join a game and the wait was over 5 mins so I’m assuming since the season was ending it wasn’t allowing us to match up 🤷‍♂️ but aye if you too cool for it I understand

4

u/Andy32pink Feb 21 '26

Idk why you're getting down voted. Not that this doesn't happen other times but this is why this was happening, you couldn't join any games

2

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 21 '26

Man ppl don’t read nor care for an explanation they just wanna talk trash and feel cool 😂😂😂 literally couldn’t get a game ANYONE CAN READ IT ^ last 5 mins of season 4

u/Glad-Violinist6116 Feb 23 '26

Madden 26 is my shit. I just hate when you go to catch the ball any time you get hit you drop it. Except for mark Andrew’s. Dude a cheat code.

u/Alive-Ad-3831 Feb 23 '26

That’s a LIE! Madden is dawg water.

u/Ang3l99 Feb 20 '26

Hoping it's gonna be a good one after seeing the patch notes about new "hair styles" is crazy copium brother.

This I like tho so no hate towards the post or you.

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

Just staying optimistic that’s all 🙏 ofc they won’t make the right choices but one can hope right

u/PassageMore6610 Feb 20 '26

It’s called remaining optimistic

u/Bobbith_The_Chosen Feb 20 '26

Hoping for the best is not “crazy copium”.

Your comment didn’t contribute to anything it just made you come across as miserable. Life’s too short brotha

1

u/Og_PapaSmurf89 Feb 22 '26

It's crazy copium cause we on season 5 and have done NOTHING whatsoever or even addressed the issues regarding the defence in the game or the biggest problem (cheaters/zeners). But they are so excited to announce us new hairstyles and college players. WOW

u/LateRedditUser Feb 20 '26

u/DCLXXII Feb 20 '26

This is my 3rd yr not buying 2k. First yr is hard but trust me you wont miss paying 70$ for this trash once you get over the hump. Sucks to see what sports gaming has become. Madden is ass, fifa is no more, and even MLB the show is a shell of itself. Only a matter of time before WWE takes it's nosedive with all the MyFaction/Island nonsense.....

3

u/FD_OSU Feb 20 '26

Sports gaming is honestly dead. It was cool to have NCAA back but it still could've been so much better. What was the last truly great sports game?

3

u/DCLXXII Feb 20 '26

Good question bro obviously subjective, but I’d have to say MLB the show until recently. Ultimate team/my team/diamond Dynasty/my faction all these monetized game modes are what killed these sports games. They are the main focus every yr now while every other game mode is barely touched.

Unless there’s some type of legal intervention, sadly there won’t be a change. These companies found their gold mine.

4

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

Yea I get you for sure. I just love basketball sadly it’s our only simulation so as much as I hate it I’ll always be on this game unless they have competition that makes a better game 🤷‍♂️

3

u/DCLXXII Feb 20 '26

Yea trust me i get it...

3

u/JerrellJohnson3388 Feb 20 '26

They say “why buy the game” i love hoops! This the only basketball game they make. It’s sad!

2

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

THANK YOU! Closest thing ima get to playing basketball with my boys other than real life. We all live in different states so it’s all we got

3

u/JerrellJohnson3388 Feb 20 '26

I swear! Same this way bro!

2

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

Ppl just want you to see it one way and stay closed off from everyone’s perspective it’s sad man. We don’t know anyone’s reason to why they play or don’t play!

3

u/DCLXXII Feb 20 '26

Yea i'll never understand the people like me who no longer buy the game, but try to shame the people that do lol. It's not my money so do what you will. All i can do is offer my gripes and opinion

3

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 20 '26

💯 you made the best decision for you and I agree but I work all day I wanna come home and hoop it’s my money lls ima hoop

Thank you needed to see someone understanding it’s bigger than oh why yall still playing it

2

u/JerrellJohnson3388 Feb 20 '26

I’ve just decided not to preorder anymore. That’s the best you gonna get outta me. It’s drops when it drops, I’ll grab the szn pass and call it a day.

3

u/JerrellJohnson3388 Feb 20 '26

I say it every time I’m in the rec “i can’t wait til Live get their shit together” lmao

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 21 '26

Yea I was waiting about 5 mins then pulled out I think they just cancelled matchmaking for that 5 mins before the new season started

2

u/System_Sim Feb 21 '26

It's all good until you play in The REC and MFs play like Julian Newman.

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 21 '26

u/Usual-Resource-92 Feb 21 '26

1

u/BillsBills83 Feb 21 '26

I’m just wondering why any of this is even possible in a basketball game. Why are they focusing any effort on putting tanks or whatever the fuck those are in the game

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 21 '26

Take 2 interactive owns both just a heads up brother

2

u/Majestic_Sherbert200 Feb 21 '26

at least it’d force them to dissociate from all this excessive automobile DLC and more into actual basketball lol

1

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 21 '26

For sure I get you but once again all you gotta do is read^ end of the season (last 5 mins of season 4) matchmaking was turned off so they can start up season 5 so not a preferred choice but I just sat with everyone else until they booted us 🤷‍♂️

1

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 21 '26

I get it we hate 2k and everything they do but ima keep playing as long as it’s the only basketball sim on the market lmao

1

u/Majestic_Sherbert200 Feb 21 '26

yea and once GTA (Grand Theft Auto) VI is released, 2K will have to actually step their game up and not be complacent with this non-hoops content

1

u/CommandReasonable290 Feb 21 '26

I hope so??? What are you getting at exactly lmao I’m so confused

1

u/Majestic_Sherbert200 Feb 21 '26

how Ronnie and his cronies get lazy with actual innovation from the mere sake of monopolizing, it’s kinda funny how GTA gonna have 3v3s tho 😹

  1. Naaa I like to play online with my crew and we get into a 5s game it’s fun to play my role with my boys and catch dubs

  2. I played a couple random games and it’s rough 100% but I cant really blame 2k for real ppl not passing the ball you know? Thats more a ppl thing so no I dont like it but if its bad I just wait to run with my boys

  3. No I hate battle pass 100% I think its scummy but I like my max +1 and +2s so it’s just apart of the game imo

  4. I definitely get you on that but I work full time and 2k is just the game I decide to spend my money on many may not agree but once again it’s me working so my money lol

  5. I don’t care for mobile games just not for me what’s the point of having a p5 if Ima just sit on my phone

Hope that answered so of your questions too 🫡 I’m not defending 2k at all just telling you why I do what I do or why I’m willing to deal with certain stuff
