 Yo! Subscribe to the channel. I'm gonna be yelling your ear like that. I apologize. Ladies and gentlemen, we've entered a new era. NBA 2K19 is right around the corner. My career trailer just dropped yesterday. We're gonna talk about that today. But before we get to that, I want to talk about a topic that a lot of people have been mentioning. It's been getting a lot of traction recently. And my guy, Shakedown, just made a video on it a few days ago. And everybody was linking it to me. He was spitting super-duper facts. Link is in the description if you guys want to watch it. So that's what happens, right? 2K will add a feature into the game. They'll call it Crew in 2K11. Then they'll take it out of the game and reintroduce it in NBA 2K16 as Pro-Land, new feature. But it's been in the game before. He brought up some other good examples like the Jordan Wreck Center. I know it's not officially announced or something like that yet. But if you guys trust me, Jordan Wreck is in the game in NBA 2K19. I know they're gonna introduce it as something new even though it wasn't in previous games. But he mentioned some smaller... Shakedown, you have a great memory. Because he was getting into detail about a lot of the stuff 2K took out and reintroduced with a new wrap, called it new. One of the things is spin dunks. Now, Mike Wang went out there and said, You can now take your OSTAPs, branch them into floaters, dunks, layups, and all that kind of stuff. They've had something like that, although not that detailed in the past. And it was a spin dunk in 2K13. If you played 2K13, then you most definitely remember, this move was so overpowered. If you played in competitive ladders or tournaments, it was banned. The move was so powerful you forfeited matches by just by doing it. Because everybody could do it. That's part of the reason why I hated 2K13. Very animation-based game. He brought up some more examples. A good one was 5v5 on the park. We don't even have 4v4 on the park in 2K18. And let me find out they reintroduced it. Hey, look at something new we added, ladies and gentlemen. We got 4v4 on the park or 5v5 on the park. But if it was in the game all those years, it would have seen many different iterations and improvements. But instead of that, they're like, Alright, listen, we gotta find a way to get people excited about the game. I understand that you guys are marketing the product. Okay, we all understand. But at a certain point, god damn. Yo, interestingly enough, do you guys remember a couple weeks ago, I went to get my face skin. And I was talking to Ronnie 2K and a couple other devs that were there. And I didn't even bring this up, but he brought it up to me. And it was one of the topics of conversation while we were eating. He's like, yeah, you know, a lot of people say that we take things out of the game and then we improve it in the game. And I'm not, I'm gonna be honest. But y'all, I don't remember what he said after that, but I remember him dismissing it like it wasn't something that they did. And I felt confident that they weren't doing it intentionally. To a certain extent, we have to give them a break. Not only are they creating a pathetic of my career storyline every single year, but on top of that, they have to find a way to improve garbage ass, my GMI league every single year. They have to find a way to keep my team interesting, add new game modes or create some new content. I don't know what the my team plan is. They have to have a whole new level design team for the park and they barely make any improvements to the program. Like they're so split. We give 2K a lot of shit, but to their credit, they have to divide their attention in many different ways. Now, the obvious answer would be agent. They could just hire more people since they make billions of dollars. That's what I would argue as well. I think that's logic. But when I was talking to him, they didn't give the impression that they were systematically doing it. Now, I could be wrong. You know, hey, ladies. I could be wrong. It's not like even if they did take stuff out the game and bring it back, they would have told me, right? Okay, so the micro story dropped. The story didn't. Basically, actually, yes. Ladies and gentlemen, did 2K just spoil the entire micro story line in the trailer? Ah, don't even get me started, man. I'm trying to watch a film at the theaters. Tell me why I watched the trailer and it gives away the whole plot. I get it. It sells you more tickets and whatever, but you ruined it for me. You showed the whole story. You might as well show the last fucking scene at that point. Okay, let's watch this together. Yo! That's... Never mind. Okay, I honestly don't want to watch it again. I'm gonna be honest with y'all. I'm pretty sure you don't either. The guy plays in Shanghai, or China somewhere. He decides, listen, these guys are ass. I'm better. Plays in the D-League. From the D-League, he's trying to fight his way into the NBA. What you'd expect from a micro story line. This time, thank God there's no B-Fresh, so I won't have to load my gun and put it at my fucking forehead every time I see a cutscene. All right, sorry. I didn't mean to get that angry. Sometimes B-Fresh gets the best of me. And then even when it gets to the NBA, you might think, agent, is the trailer gonna stop ruining the whole plot once you get to the NBA? Uh-uh. It keeps going. AI, we have one game left this season. The question is, are you up for it? You can't learn it, it's just in there. Who says so? I can make this set fire to social media. Hey, Marcy, you gotta read on my lunch. It's a classic 2K. We're all here to have fun. I'm having a great time. Thank God. Is the difference between a player and a legend? I know who's gonna help you. You're in my way. What? You're displeased? Have you introduced all of the conflicts? Yes! All of them? No surprises. Is that what you're telling me? Yes! Why what? Literally, halfway in the trailer, he's like, it's the last game of the season. How did we get here? How did we get here already? I'm of the mindset that the My Career Story is always trash. Listen, if I want a great story mode, I'm sorry, but I'm not playing 2K. I'm playing The Last of Us. I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm playing Red Dead. Do you see what I mean? I don't even play GTA V over again. 2K is not a game people buy for the story. But it sells if you can say, listen, we got a story mode. You see why Madden added that long shot game mode? Or why FIFA added, what do they call it? The Journey? Whatever the name is. I'm convinced at this point that 2K is only doing My Career Story lines to sell products. So, I don't know how much you guys are on Twitter. Let me fill you in on the chaos that happened yesterday. So the My Career trailer drops, everyone's like, whoa, alright. But our first question is, can we skip the cutscenes? I'm gonna put it like this. I saw more people excited about skipping cutscenes than actually playing the story. So not only did Mike Wang say, yo, listen, you guys can skip the story this year. And the second time you play it, you can skip the whole prelude if you want. Tits? I was gonna say lid. What is? Then Ronnie came out and said, listen guys, new feature alert. You can skip cutscenes in a video game. This is a feature now. And then Mike Wang, did I call him Wang? Sorry, his name is Wang. And then the official 2K Twitter account comes out. This is the third person, officially the third person that comes out and says, guys, fantastic news. You know the shit that you can do in every other video game? Because they're not always like, they're not as money hungry as us. Do you know that thing? Yeah, well you can do it in our game now too because I know how pissed off you guys were last year. 2K. Taking away the ability to skip cut scenes and then bringing it back shouldn't be a selling point. And I know that they weren't going out of their way to make it seem like one. But it is one because I have never seen people so excited for anything in a long time. I'm going to be honest with y'all, I don't like playing offline a lot. This isn't actionable and I wouldn't want this to happen because I'm not the most selfish person ever. But if for whatever reason, if 2K just took out my career and said, hey guys, you know what we're going to spend all these resources on now? Park, Pro-Am, my team. I'd be with it. And listen, I wouldn't impose that because I understand there's a lot of folks, especially the casual folks who just only ever play my career. There's guys who play 2K, play my career and don't know a playground exists. Those people are real. I've talked to them. I'm just saying, 2K, my career is the mode you spend a majority of your time and resources on. It's the biggest selling point for the game and it's used to be one of the most popular game modes. Now I think Park, well, I know Park is more popular and I think my team is still more popular. That being said, like, damn. I'm not really impressed. I'm going to play it one time, just because. And really, I'm only going to play it and watch the cutscenes because I'm going to have to play it regardless to grind my player because I'm assuming offline is going to be the easiest way to grind your player again. Hey chat, chat. You know what? You guys are the chat now. I don't like seeing comments section no more. You guys are officially chat. Hey chat, in the chat, chat. Okay, just let me know what you guys think about this Minecraft trailer. They spoiled all of it. The entire thing has been spoiled.
