I’m really intrigued to see how the game develops with a patch season 2. I think it’s very likely if they go too over the top on ghost contest reduction that small guards will DOMINATE this game with how effective the quick stops are. Honestly, I’m down to see it, I’m just saying the balance of the game might end up even more undisputed. I don’t think you can convince me that the most EFFECTIVE way to win games on 3v3 RIGHT NOW even is to load up with multiple dunking builds and everyone rim runs. It’s pretty obvious the guard-lock-center is still good, and the only thing holding it in check is the contest-ability on the guards. Take that away and make a guy play a hand up at all times near them, there’s gonna be tons of hand down man down situations while they’re trying to guard a further long run, fades even, and if you are consistently playing hands up, you’re gonna move way too slow to guard them. So it’ll all just be some mind game of when to hand up, but maybe that’s not awful either. I just think the game’s in a delicate state on the matter of how to fix the game’s contest problem.

Only 47 days this time on the daily upload streak, but it does end here. I’m satisfied with the idea that I’d like to preserve some longevity this time. It’s also a bit more of a “before season 2” play. I’d rather ration out content a bit these next few days, and be ready to grind again as SZN 2 starts. Still gonna be every other day until then though, prob will mix in some streams too.

Easy obvious play to make that wins the game, and the only people that have a problem with it are the ones who’ve been hooked into gambling addictions 😂

Guard that rim run!

I’ve got like a 1 hour yap fest of buff/nerf talks tomorrow. Bout like 13 different gameplay topics. Here’s what’s in it. I am talking as a whole my opinions over all these heavily debated topics, and just because they’re on this list does not mean I think it’s a no brainer to make it into the patch. Though there are some. Ghost Contests Speed Ups Passing Speed Long Rebounds Standing Dunks No Timing Layups (Ripped Out Of Dunks) Steal Spamming With No Punishment On Ball Defensive Bump Strength Airspace Dunking Power as a whole Losing Shooting Take for non shooting related things SBMM AIs Foul Calls on Dunks/Layups Long Outlet Passes

I’m actually curious, what shot contest system was the best in any 2k in terms of balance? 😂 we talk about this shit every single year and there’s always a wide variety of who wants what depending on their play style.

If ghost contests were removed as a whole, the movement of defenders while playing hands up needs to be addressed too. Simple change like that without the other would lead to guards quick stopping off screens being a zero doubt leader in the way this game is played. As of now, it’s not in a good balanced state with how powerful ghosts are. But that’s an issue I think comes with extreme consequences if removed as a whole. I totally agree that they should be toned down aggressively, where light contest is the most you register, even with an elite perimeter defensive build. But careful what you ask for is all I’m saying. Ironically this community only cares about their own play style though, so I’m sure the ones “asking for” would love that anyway.

Hit me with some things you want changed in SZN 2. I’m curious from multiple angles what people want changed

Rim running’s dogshit in triple threat online. Who woulda thought, the mode where every card in existence has good interior D

I think I’m gonna cut back from the daily uploads just to slow down the pace a little bit until season 2 drops. Ideas running a little more slim, and I don’t wanna burn out too hard. Especially while I’ve been sick too. Definitely will get more of these starting 5 streams in too. I could prob plan to do them sometimes too on days where I plan I won’t be dropping a vid just to keep myself on top of a daily streak of some sort

I’m pretty excited for basketball. A lot of it is just new page turned for Lakers, but I’m actually pretty hyped to watch some Wolves games too.

One of y’all probably lost to bro in 2k14 park when he was 5 years old

It’s called your opponent having block

Think I cooked on this thumb, I'm trying to jersey swap a retro Rockets jersey onto my player on the left though, and in classic AI fashion it changes all my other stuff about the thumb. If anyone from the 2k comm wants to try and throw me a lob here.

Loaded up proving 1s ready to sweat, turns out it’s just people plate dropping every single game… 😂😭
