    NBA2k21 Why everybody hates playing with randoms

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 07:12 PM PST

    We Can All Agree That 2k Is No Longer Basketball!

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 12:35 AM PST

    2k has turned into NBA Jam. Circus shots, players constantly getting dunked on, and just running around until you're open. I'm not sure if 2k developers can sit down and play this game thinking this resembles a real basketball game. Then to make matters worst, when you call out players who cheese, they tend to use the "oldhead" joke. Is having good IQ about basketball now considered being a oldhead to the community? This game is ludicrous. So much more I can talk about, but I think everybody feels this way.

    NBA 2K21 players on Stadia are essentially being scammed by 2K

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 02:44 PM PST

    NBA 2K21 players on Stadia are essentially being scammed by 2K

    Rosters and uniforms

    Part of the reason why people buy the new version of NBA 2K every year is to get the updated team rosters as well as the player ratings. Well, NBA 2K21 on Stadia is basically like NBA 2K20.5.

    John Wall still on the Wizards? Russell Westbrook still on the Rockets?

    The rosters haven't been updated since draft day, which was November 18th. A ton of major trades and signings have occurred in the NBA since then to the start of the season on December 22nd. NBA 2K20 on Stadia got nearly day-1 roster updates with its console counterparts, but that doesn't seem to be the case with 2K21.

    The uniforms in the game also don't feature the new ones for the 2020-21 NBA season. This isn't as big of a deal but is still something missing from the game that's worth mentioning. You can't play with any of the new City Edition jerseys.

    Bugs

    Oh my gosh. The bugs. They're insane.

    Constantly, in the Neighborhood, the game will just freeze up and lose connection to 2K servers within the game. Basically, the game turns "slow-mo" and then it'll display the classic 2K message: "Attempting to restore your connection." Stadia's menu doesn't indicate any kind of connection error, leading me to believe that the glitch/disconnect is occurring on the cloud server. It seems that the game freezing causes the cloud server to overload and also disconnect from 2K servers, if that makes sense.

    After all this, it'll eventually either kick you back out to the main 2K home screen where everything is also in slow-mo and freezing up, or, the game instance will just crash and you'll be taken to the Stadia home screen. This type of freezing/crashing sometimes occurs right before, in the middle of, or after a park game, after leaving an event like Bootcamp, opening the "My Animations" menu anywhere outside of a building, entering Jeff's 2K Arcade for a wheel spin or the Team Practice building, among others.

    Just take a look at these videos. In all of them, notice how the music remains perfectly intact, meaning, this is definitely a problem with the game and not an internet connection issue.

    https://youtu.be/Jp7AvSJaCRw

    https://youtu.be/IczRedocvYI

    https://youtu.be/VJCoEltKYQM

    In this last video, you'll notice how the game or multiplayer server almost freezes up but quickly catches itself and speeds up to get in sync. Whenever this happens, that's usually an indicator that someone else in the group lagged out and you'll be playing the game with or against an AI player.

    https://youtu.be/z2ggL1XbYH0

    In the below image, we're all stuck. The game isn't frozen or anything here, but we're basically stuck here for at least a couple of minutes. This usually happens when one of the players in the game quits or lags out right after the conclusion of the match. This was also an issue with NBA 2K20.

    https://preview.redd.it/bdacy02p6sa61.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aea113b4da456fd77e6868a6e5d301b65ea5fa1a

    Furthermore, when the park games do work, sometimes, one side of the court is laggy while the other side of the court is perfectly smooth (another issue also present on 2K20). It's also extra weird in that it'll only happen on certain 3v3 courts.

    You also cannot join a friend's MyCourt despite allowing them in. It just doesn't work.

    General load times in the game are also much longer than 2K20 for whatever reason. Simply just opening the Neighborhood takes like a solid two minutes. 2K20 seemed way more optimized while this one feels along the lines of a current-gen console or worse (despite Stadia having better server hardware than a current-gen console).

    For the record, the classic "Play Now" mode is, for the most part, bug-free. It's mainly just the Neighborhood and sometimes in MyCareer games where these issues occur.

    Community complaints

    The Stadia community may be a small one, but it's still fairly vocal about its complaints.

    https://twitter.com/LVille10/status/1336314672866193408

    There have also been several posts on the Stadia subreddit about it:

    I, personally, opened a support ticket with 2K and this was the initial response I received:

    Lol

    2K's own support agents don't even know what Stadia is despite having five games on the service (WWE 2K Battlegrounds, NBA 2K21, PGA Tour 2K21, Borderlands 3, and NBA 2K20). Like, seriously? They really suggested to do a cache clear and reinstall the game, both of which you can't even do on Stadia.

    Fortunately, a 2K Support supervisor reached out to me several days later (after additional complaints from me) and apologized on the prior agent's behalf for "providing irrelevant troubleshooting steps" and added 35,000 VC to my 2K account.

    After some more mind-numbing troubleshooting steps like "check your internet connection" and "make sure you have an Ethernet cable connected," I eventually managed to get a bug report submitted. The support agent later contacted me again and responded with the following:

    This message is to notify you that the development team has been notified of this issue and are currently working toward a solution! However, we do not have visibility on their progress here in customer support, and therefore don't have a timeline on when a fix will be implemented.

    Many of the other players who also opened support tickets about the problems weren't as lucky with getting 2K's attention and filing a bug report. Rather, they too received messages like "clear your cache" or "reinstall the game."

    Final thoughts

    I managed to get the game when it was on sale last month for 79 cents ($10.79 sale price plus a $10 off coupon), but it's just not fair that those who bought the game at full price ($60 for the regular version or $100 for the "Mamba Forever Edition") are essentially getting a worse game than NBA 2K20.

    There's also no cross-play for NBA 2K on Stadia (or any platform for that matter), so you'll often be in a nearly empty Park most of the time due to the small player-base. At any rate, half of your time in the Park will be spent having to restart the game because of the freezing-up bugs.

    2K support sent me the message about the dev team working towards a solution around early December. I get that there are different priorities and timelines for the teams, plus the holidays had arrived soon thereafter, but not updating the rosters is just plain laziness. Plus, all of these bugs aforementioned have been there since the game launched all the way back in early September of last year! Players have reported it countless times since then, and for it to still be a problem over 4 months later is just inexcusable. I honestly feel that Google should just pull it from the Stadia store until the issues get fixed.

    It seems that ever since the next-gen versions 2K21 came out for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, 2K just forgot about Stadia. I get that Stadia's user-base is no where near the size of PlayStation and Xbox where 2K gets the majority of their revenue from, but if they're going to charge the same price as other platforms, they absolutely should be providing the same or comparable experience. As is, however, anyone buying NBA 2K21 on Stadia right now is getting scammed.

    Blow an open layup on HOF during the playoffs... Check ☑

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 07:31 PM PST

    The running fadeaway three pointer is ruining park/city play more than anything else right now imo.

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 05:43 PM PST

    Hey all. Its my first year with the game and I'm playing on next gen. Overall I've been enjoying playing online for the most part after getting used to the input delay, but is there any discussion on this anywhere? For a shot that should be pretty hard to pull off it seems to be the favorite amongst high level players and to me its borderline cheese and game breaking due to its high success rate. Is this something that the online community just has to live with or does 2k make any of these kinds of adjustments during a game cycle? Sorry if this has been discussed already.

    City is too big

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:24 AM PST

    I did a little experiment... as follows:

    To leave rec, skate to daily spin, & then go back to rec is 2.25 minutes.

    To leave rec, change your spawn location to next to spin, go to resume career, spawn back into city, spin, change spawn back to rec, go back to career, then rejoin city back in rec is 47 seconds.

    Nice charge I took there

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 06:16 AM PST

    2k just robbed me of a 3 star... the game decided my GREEN RELEASE wasn’t worthy of 3 points and then decided my last shot which should’ve been a green was a miss.. if this isn’t clearly rigged man..

    Where’s the personality in MyCareer in 2K21

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:53 PM PST

    My first exposure to this series was with 2K19 , as I'm a recent convert to being a basketball fan. One thing that struck me about that game was the little things, little off hand conversations with the NPCs like Doc from the barber shop, or June the tattoo artist or even Smitty the doorman, just little things that added to the experience.

    Cut to 2K21 and all of those little touches are gone, just replaced with your standard video game menu of services. I know it's not an integral part of the game or the biggest failure in this latest iteration but I miss those little things as much as I do the pregame banter with Kenny and Shaq. Some things don't need to be changed every year.

    Just a rant about how shit this game is

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:17 PM PST

    I am absolutely sick of this game. So I've been playing with randoms since none of my friends have a ps5 and everyone i am teamed up with is absolutely dogshit. They constantly go out of bounds, pass the ball at into traffic and take stupid contested shots. I've also had games where one of the guys on the other team is shooting 5/8 from 3 without a single green meanwhile im missing 20% contested dunks with a 99 dunk and hof posteriser.

    Different difficulties in the park - Current gen

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 12:14 AM PST

    Is it possible that games in the park have different difficulties?

    When I play with rookies or AS1 it seems to be easier to green shots. When I play with SS1 / SS2 or above it seems more difficult. I am not talking about contested shots but pure wide open shots taken off the catch from an hot spot (corner 3s).

    Whenever my 3 friends and I try and do an online my league we can't get past the first off-season bc of this stupid glitch I recorded. Anyone know what causes it and how to fix it? Thanks for the help

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 09:55 PM PST

    I know its current Gen but come on. Why are we still getting sucked in these canned animations in 2021. This is the type of broken element that makes me delete the game.

    Would love the opportunity to play in the World Cup in my career. Just a thought. Could be a really fun addition to add more the off season which currently is pointless

    Why is the guard/big driving interaction so fake + no rotations and very slow players?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 07:40 PM PST

    This game has pathetic guard vs big interactions. Players like Alex Caruso can't blow by bigs like Brook Lopez on the perimeter. In turn this results in no rotations from wing players to show open 3's. In the actual NBA they shoot 30+ 3's a game. In this you can easily play a full 48min sim game and shoot 10 3's because there are no good looks since there is never any rotations since they are never needed when players like Brook Lopez and Nikola Vucevic can defend the perimeter like guards.

    Also why does every single player in the game feel extremely slow when running without the ball? Have you ever been running off a screen and the player is so slow that the defender catches up after being stuck on a screen for 1-2seconds.

    Even chasing back on a fast break with any one who isn't LeBron James or Damian Lillard feels dreadful. If you're someone like Kuzma it feels like you have 50 speed. Also what's up with the running animations? It's like they ae forcefully slowed down. It looks horrible.

    Issue with MyCareer games.

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 01:20 AM PST

    Before I start I'm talking about MyCareer in next gen. I've always been a MyCareer player and I was very excited when I got the next gen version of the game. But I have a serious problem in MyCareer. I hate how there is no pre-game show, u just walk into the tunnel and u can't even hear the pre-game commentary until tip-off. And during the game, I hate it when it keeps on zooming into my player and he starts saying something. For example, my player keeps chattering and the commentary gets cutoff throughout the game. Is there any way to fix this or is this just the way the game is? Sorry if this sounded confusing.
