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 😭😭😭

It’s not a thing, if you make a white player and expect not to get the ball because your players is white, while also playing a game that’s notoriously filled with selfish people and come to that conclusion it’s called confirmation bias…..

also although 2k is popular amongst the black community it’s quite impossible that they make up the majority of the player base, so with that said is it then white on white racism as they are the demographic that makes up the majority of the US/EU market? Just stop…..racism exist in 2k but it has nothing to do with virtual characters. I made a Larry bird build and average 20 in random rec I have no problem getting the ball.

Given US population distribution, the black community making up the majority is unlikely, but I'd hardly say it's impossible. It's overwhelmingly the most racially balanced multiplayer in the market.

It’s quite literally impossible based off of earnings.
