    Who is this terrible mamba mentality song by?? I need to disable it

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 09:21 PM PST

    Please help me out! I am tired of hearing mamba mentality mamba mentality mamba mentality every 10 mins.

    Edit: Found it - Mamba Mentality - Jevon Alexander

    It's located no where in 2K Beats which means 2K is clearly blocking players from disabling it since it's probably a paid promotion.

    What's the deal with ProAm

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 08:27 PM PST

    Almost a month in and no info on ProAm...

    2K needs to revert ranked ProAm games to 24/7 like it always has to be. NEEDS TO!! Good ProAm teams are being forced to play rec because unranked ProAm doesnt give you rep. This not only is boring for the ProAm teams but it is extremely unfair for the other team in rec. Even if they have a squad of 5, pretty much 90% of ProAm teams in leagues like WR are going to crush these guys in rec. It's just not fair or fun for anyone. Revert this back

    Also, what is league night? When is league night? We have been given no information about this at all. It just says to check the league night timer to see when next league night is. What/where the hell is the league night timer lmao?

    This is a mess

    2K doesn’t care about play now online

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:46 PM PST

    1. Tier list sucks.
    2. Opponents quitting doesn't give you the win.
    3. Results history doesn't work.
    4. Random freezing and speeding up.
    5. Same thing for 3 years.
    6. Sometimes the jersey you choose just changes to something else.
    7. Oh you wanna play the Zion Pelicans? A tier 3 team. Ok, fine. Good luck against the Shaq and Kobe Lakers. Because fuck you.

    Contact Alley Oops are one of the few great additions to this game !

    Removing features is absurd and you should be ashamed

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 07:08 PM PST

    Booted up today to find that the devs have removed the "start in off-season" feature in current gen my league. There was no explanation or justification. This is obviously a petty attempt to draw people away from single player, and it's disgusting. It was there 2 days ago.

    Can’t put Hotzone Hunter HoF, even tho it is unlocked

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 12:00 AM PST

    So I have most of my shooting badges unlocked and I was happy to put HoF hot zone hunter and HoF deadeye but when I try pressing RT to raise the tier, no option come up to raise then from gold even tho I have the badges.

    And yes I do have HoF tier for both of these unlocked but it is not letting me select them. Could this be an attribute issue ? Or is my three not high enough? My mid is 90 and three is 90 as well. I am overall 89

    You really gotta pay 10k VC for the turkey hat to get double rep?

    Well I gave in...6 7 PF

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:33 PM PST

    Decided to purchase the holiday bundle with 75k vc and the Christmas hat cause why not. Instead of wasting that vc on my 6 5 no defense 95 shooting guard I decided to create the same build as everyone else. Played career and don't notice any difference in the shooting really (85 3pt compared to 95). I guess I'm gonna end up dropping more money on vc this weekend because I'm a POS. Can't wait to max out this scoring machine.

    Strength Weight and On Ball defense

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 07:20 PM PST

    I wouldn't describe myself as "comp", but I've been playing around with some things for my second build and I noticed that strength and possibly weight make a huge difference in how aggressive you can be when playing on ball defense. My first build is 6'8" 210 25 strength with 87 perimeter d. Gets beat off of the dribble a lot (even in the build tester). I tried 6'8" 230 with 85 strength and even with lower perimeter d I got way more dribble pickups, stuns, and bump steals. I wish you could change difficulty to hall of fame in the tester, but I went against Giannis both times to see what happens and the gap is huge. Haven't tried it online but def something to be aware of.

    Some thoughts for the future of 2k, opinions and discussion starter, buckle in for a long read

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 09:37 PM PST

    So as some background, I am a med student who goes to medical school in Barbados, due to coronavirus, the school made us all return home so instead of spending 5 semesters on an island with all my friends, we all came back home spread out among different states and even different countries. As frustrating as 2k20 was, i appreciated that game because it kept me constantly playing with my roommates. As a primarily mycareer player, 2k20 was my first foray into heavy online play, park and pro-am with my roommates became a tradition.

    Moving onto the matter at hand, 2k21 Next Gen is easily one of the best NBA2k games in a long time, i understand my realism friends might disagree, but come on it's a game, it will never be truly accurate or realistic, at least not for a long time. As long as we control real people and created characters with sticks and buttons, games will not be realistic simulations. Suffice to say, I am a huge fan of arcade style 2k with massive dunks and circus threes.

    In my opinion the player creator is 80-90% great, with a few minor but impactful flaws. and in response to those complaining, I want you to look at the 2k roster this year and the player stats, for the most part, we can match most players and superstars in terms of stats. There are exceptions like Giannis at 6'10 but still has 90 speed and incredible ball handling, but for the most part it is actually possible to create players who can mirror some of our favorite stars in the league. People want to have 95 perimeter D, 95 layups, 95 dunk, 95 3 pt, 95 midrange and 95 speed etc etc and still have enough left over to have physicals and steals and the rest. Again, i ask you to look at the current roster and see the stats and the strictness that 2k has used in handing out attribute ratings this year.

    Now all the positives aside, there are definitely things 2k needs to improve for us as a community, and as a nobody that loves this game and the community members that aren't toxic, i want to share some ideas and spur some discussion.

    First of all and more importantly I think that 2k needs to allot more attributes and higher ceilings to reach the cap AND equally importantly make it easier to earn badges. One needs to look no further than our mycareer rival and friend, Hendrix Cobb. Has anyone seen this dudes badges? or attributes? IDK how my guy managed to get a potential legend traded. Basically my point is we should be able to make a player that is as balanced and talented as Hendrix Cobb, because we don't want to be role players, we want to make superstars. In term of badges, even if we match the attributes of some of the stars in the league, they have so many more badges compared to our myplayers.

    I appreciate the new system of being able to earn HOF in each category, but it has to be easier to earn total upgrade points so we can make players who are able to match the badge count of superstars in the league. Not only that, but it has to be consistent among positions, if i make a 6'8 PG he should be able to earn the same amount of badges as a 6'8 PF with the same stats, but that doesnt happen in the current player creator, and that has to be fixed.

    Another thing is the weight given to some of the attributes, and how they are separated. for example the most prominent ones right now are steal and interior defense, i believe they should either have less total weight or make more impact on badge points, because right now a lot of people aren't even sure if interior D is worth it and most of it is conjecture.

    Other stats like Close shot and free throw should be reevaluated. If we are lumping thinks together, it would make more sense to include standing layups and "close shots" into the same attribute as driving layup, if a player is good at one, he is usually good at the other. Driving dunk and standing dunk are deservedly separated into 2 different attributes, and i like that post moves has an individual group too, but the one i believe deserves to replace where close shots was, is post hook, because that is a specialty shot and has more of a niche. Most players don't use it anymore, but lets say someone wants to make a Kareem-esque post scoring build, well then post hook would be incredibly important.

    Free throw is another that makes no sense to be separated, usually if someone is a deadly mid-range and 3 pt shooter, they are a given from the line [see: steph curry, dame lillard] but being a good mid range shooter, 3 pt shooter doesnt make that person good at post fades, and again that is more of a specialty shot, in game and in real life. Certain stars are known for it, just like certain 2k players love them, others dont, so the third category should really be post fades.

    In terms of playmaking and defense, i rlly believe that the divisions are very fair and make sense. The physicals, although i wish were less limited, also make sense and are bcz the increase in speed would serve as incentive to play with a smaller player, BUT ONLY IF badge and attribute allocations were more evenly distributed and fair.

    Lastly, this is more of a quality of life improvement, but the game should also allow you to select a secondary position. I have been a PF for the past 2 2k games because my favorite players in the league include Giannis, Zion, Ben simmons, even guys like jayson tatum. I am a fan of big time dunkers, even guys like lebron played PF. So selecting PF shouldn't restrict to PF/C you should have a choice. PF/PG, PF/SG, hell the most common SF/PF and all the others, it makes no sense not to have a choice especially with the flexibility and versatility of the best in the league.

    Sure i can just make an SF but i dont see why i would if i get more badges as a PF. This makes the unbalanced weight of interior D and perimeter D more fair because it would allow more players to make players with secondary positions to play to your strengths. For example, an SF/SG would be better suited to a player who decided to leave interior D and invest in perimeter D to play against players they are more suited to guard than a PF/C like AD.

    Honestly this would also be incredibly impactful in mycareer, this issue would mainly be alleviated if there was more fairness in badge allocation among the positions, but it would be fun for me and many others to make a player i want to be like giannis and be a PF/PG and then maybe even tie specific strengths to those positions without making them weaknesses for others. For example PG get some extra boosts to shooting and playmaking, SG does to shooting and finishing, SF to shooting and defense, more specifically to perimeter and steals, PF to finishing and defense with more balance on Interior D and perimeter D with fair block, and finally C to finishing which would favor more standing dunk as you get taller the way it does currently, and defense with emphasis on interior d, and blocks. Sf/PF and C all get some boosts to rebounding.

    Again, these boosts would be intended to make certain things into strengths, but not make restrictions like prior games. A PF/C might be able to get a 95 Reb, but a PF/PG might only get an 85, with HOF reb chaser at 88. picking PG/SG would mean 95 3 pt whereas PF/PG would mean maybe a 88 making HOF circus threes and deep threes etc available at 91. Therefore making certain HOF badges still accessible regardless as long as there is that specific investment and grinding.

    This game has become too iso heavy. In real basketball, superstars will iso, but the best teams are those that find the extra pass. The current situation has led to people creating deficient builds to iso, leaving others to become role players. Although i understand this may be fun for some, I believe most of us don't want to sit in a corner all game while one guy dribbles left and right acts like a ball hog and misses the shot. We want to see a fair and equal game, with players cutting, playing defense being able to shoot etc being able to find the extra pass for those of us that actually upgraded pass to 85+ and didnt keep it at 25. Tactics should matter, oh you want to sit in the paint? ill shoot it on you, oh ur playing me tight let me dribble and get passed you to dunk, oh i cant do either because you're great with the sticks on defense? lemme find the pass to my teammate, make off-ball movement, get open, play real basketball and not iso dribble left right shoot.

    TL;DR: This game goes a long way in allowing players to play the way the want to, but there are still ways to improve. People still can't emulate their favorite NBA stars or play the way they want to. It will never be perfect because there have to be certain restrictions that stop the community from being all PGs with 99 on every attribute, but there are still some clear aspects that if changed and fixed, the game could be a lot more fun for its player base.

    This took a long time and a lot of effort and thought for me to write. Hope to have some great discussion and some awesome conversations with the community that enjoys this game and wants to see it be less frustrating and more fun.

    My PF Interior Finisher with 94 Standing dunk going for smothered layups instead of dunks in Rec.

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 05:31 PM PST

    As the title says. I have hof Contact and Relentless Finisher and Gold Putback Boss but even if I fake out dudes with a pump fake after an offensive rebound, he won't dunk but instead smother himself in the dudes in midair with a layup (and because Intimidator is broken af, it always misses). Idk what I'm doing wrong, I have turbo on and pointing the stick up everytime but he just won't do what his build is made for. It happens sometimes in Park but it's mostly noticable in Rec. It's gotten to the point where it's made me miss easy points and making me feel like a burden on a team for missing easy stuff.

    Big man badge help (Next Gen)

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 02:25 AM PST

    Yo guys, I recently got my next gen console and been grinding my badges out in whatever time i've got after work. Thing is, I haven't really played enough park games to figure out what are the must have badges. I resisted this whole 6'7 Scoring Machine talk (even though I was running a 6'7 Red/green PF on PS4 lol) and went for a 6'9 C Paint Beast. I get 20/16/3/25, any advice on what badges I should go for?

    Appreciate any help. Thanks yall
