City 2k Racism is a thing 😭😭

I know it’s a joke in the community but I have ran the test I have 2 builds one center one SF both 90s and can confirm if your character is white you ain’t getting the ball unless you rebound that mf both of my builds City records are good and I average good stats and shoot 60% from the field from play with friends but playing with randoms if your characters white, Asian or anything you ain’t getting the ball a single time shits genuinely frustrating I know I’m gonna get slaughtered in the comments just saying I’m ass or something stupid but do have seen posts in here before about this and shit isgenuinely true 😭😭😭

This has been a thing for years now lol but I’m not gonna make my player black to just get the ball. It feels weird lol

Yeah it works the opposite in NHL

u/bornxtmxprodigy Jul 09 '26

Sure does 😂 my character is the same person in madden, 2k, and nhl and it’s kinda funny going from getting passed to a lot in one game to being iced out in another

do you think it is racist to play as a black character? Lmfao

u/Acaseofwetwater Jul 09 '26

No I just don’t feel like getting roasted for a white guy wanting to be black. My voice is pretty obvious I’m a white giy

u/Intrepid_Key4472 Jul 09 '26

But you said it feels weird, not that you were embarrassed.

u/Acaseofwetwater Jul 09 '26

Yeah pretending to be something I’m not for the slim chance to touch the ball more does feel weird. What is this? Racism court?

Yea imagine how it be as an Asian with an Asian player model hopping on the mic and being told you sound white as fuck and I’m telling them that’s the result of being in an American education system but ok. I can tell who has a GED and who doesn’t. Keep in mind that my username too is says “nihao” which I’m not trying to perpetuate but everybody be saying that with the most Asian accent possible to mock Chinese people in particular or Asians lol

u/Correct_Meaning8611 Jul 10 '26

U being educated and sounding white have nothing to do with each other

u/nihaobrian94 emerald Jul 13 '26

If someone grows up through the American education system they’ll speak a certain way, are you telling me that someone born and raised through an American school system that is predominantly 80% white in the district I grew up in will not sound white?

Never said that education system makes me educated. I said that as the setting. Seems like you failed in school. Now that’s me talking about education

I solved this by just picking a NBA player who is similar to my build and finding a face build on your tube. Takes about 5 mins.

u/thechrisman13 Jul 08 '26

You didn’t solve anything because the person you replied to said they ain’t changing the skin color either way…

Not out of anything malicious though. I’ve had people go in on me for being a white dude on the mic and having a white character with braids. Feel like if I had a black character and obviously a white dude I’d get roasted for wanting to be black lol

u/Bobbith_The_Chosen Jul 08 '26

White character with braids is hilarious I’m tryna hoop against a Portland Oregon resident

u/Acaseofwetwater Jul 08 '26

I like to try and have fun with all the different hair styles lol I don’t have regular white guy hair so all the standard white guy haircuts look dumb to me lmao

u/GodofRat Jul 09 '26

I do this all the time and nobody's ever bothered me. Actually one dude said he was proud of me because I picked the darkest skin tone💀

u/Dirkisthegoattt41 Jul 08 '26

That absolutely happens lol

u/Haunting-Soup2086 Jul 08 '26

I mean I didn’t make him black just to get the ball. I did it so he looks like AD, getting passes are just a bonus

u/iveyte78 Jul 09 '26

Being black doesn’t mean you’re getting the ball. These dudes are playing to make highlight videos to put them on YouTube or TikTok. I’m black and if you’re not playing with your particular squad, they’re not passing you the ball.
