 Welcome back agent nation. My name. Ah, you guys know me as agent beam star. Let's get There's a lot of stories today subscribe to the channel if y'all want to keep up with the news Let's get right into it for our first story of the day Ladies and gentlemen, Ronnie 2k was on a stream with the one and only Chris move and they were dropping all kinds of gems about Mba 2k 19 so in this brief little segment I'm gonna break down all the important points as fast as I possibly can one it takes about 200,000 VC or as Chris move said 190,000 VC to upgrade your player fully so the reports that 2k was gonna reduce my co-transactions Obviously a lie. I called it out news gonna be a lie But from what it seems it doesn't seem like the VC prices have went up so that might be good news Ronnie 2k even said this on his livestream that there's a lot of ways to get VC now Yeah, they really like added a lot of ways and it's it's it's gonna be pretty nice look the whole point because the whole point is We want people to play and engage the game It's this this VC thing is about separating Like people that are grinding versus people that are not and that's what the objective was last year We got away from it a little bit admittedly especially early then we fixed it So There's a lot to do and we want to engage you for playing the game So you guys will see a lot of that I think Ronnie thinks that the problem was fixed after they reduced the prices of some haircuts and some shoes and accessories It wasn't 2k is still probably the picture-perfect definition of a pay-to-win game on top of the $60 price tag on top of The fact that this year you have to pay a hundred dollars just so you can get the game four days early So no one's even talking about that Ronnie. I just want you to know the problem is not fixed There's still a long way to go micro transactions But I guess the good news is unlike every other 2k the past four or five years It doesn't seem like it's gotten worse But we'll have to wait and see to get some details on how much VC cost how much packs cost all of that good stuff And and also if boosts are still in the game next up according to Ronnie 2k and Chris move You can now change your jump shots and your clothing on the got next So you don't have to walk all the way back to your micro or walk off the court and lose your streak Just because you want to change your jump shot. Unfortunately, it seems like road to 99 is making a return the language Ronnie 2k use You just want to dance around the subject to not make it obvious But everybody in the chat made it clear and there's even some people on Twitter taking clips and showing like oh damn it Man wrote to 99 is back There was even a point where I think it was Ronnie said something or it might have been Chris move If you upgrade your player and you make a new player you have to start from the beginning So that's a lot like road that wrote to 99 and it's very different from the rep system We had in 1716 and everything before that apparently there's some massive pro m news They're gonna announce at the NBA 2k league finals on Saturday They didn't say what it was but we could assume private prime is gonna be announced We could assume new court design features are gonna be announced at the NBA 2k league already had and hopefully a whole host of other Stuff they're hyping it up like it's gonna be something massive. Hopefully this is the first year We're madding. I mean not madden. Sorry. Don't care about madden at all We're prime gets a massive improvement and I'm hoping to see that this next bit is kind of funny Apparently the character in the my career story is gonna be nicknamed AI I guess it's like a tribute to Alan Iverson because he was on the first four covers of NBA 2k And so Chris move loved the idea and he said listen Why don't you guys do something like this for everyone's players so you can use their initials so my initials is Agent beam star you can call me a B So the commentators use the words a B to reference me instead of those corny ass nicknames I give you Chris move was pushing this a lot on the stream and This is what Ronnie said The nicknames are the initials. There's not they're getting on you for saying there's 52 combos of initials That is what it is. No, that's true That's the math 26 times to The defense is it's it's definitely improved I make myself ZZ I put people to sleep by the way Pretty much the whole chat was roasting him Obviously, there's way more than 52 combinations of different voiceovers that it have to be done if this feature or a Commentary package made it into the game I just thought it was funny that Ronnie was horrible at math and so did the rest of the chat There was something interesting Ronnie 2k said on stream He said that park information and news comes last because it's quote-unquote the biggest thing they have So they're basically saying that park is again since and still the biggest game on an NBA 2k But more than that because it gets interesting if park is the biggest thing they have and that's why they put it to last They did drop the my team trailer before the my career trailer before the pro amp trailer I don't know if they're going in that order It might make sense because my gym my league stuff is usually the first news to drop But I had this theory that maybe my career had more users than my team did which I guess would make sense because you have to Play through my career to get to the park and pro amp But then what did that make my career the biggest game mode and not park anyway? Maybe it means nothing just thought it was interesting information because they usually don't release stats And probably the last relevant and important thing Ronnie said on stream he was playing with the crowd around him at the park and Ronnie 2k made a statement as if he was surprised that there was an increased amount of latency and lag because he had a Whole crowd around him now. I'm a youtuber I have to go through that every single time I play the game and I thought it was hilarious that Ronnie was surprised like now You know why the complain about latency and lag all the time is because when there's a whole row of people that for no Reason are being loaded in it's slowing my game down and I don't care if they're all blurred out for all I care I just want a good gaming experience Ronnie was like, oh those guys all have to be loaded in He's trying to calculate why he thought that there was a lot of latency in his game and lack Welcome to my world Ronnie where the latency plagues you every game you play because there's always a crowd for our next story Of the day Twitter is a weird place and Twitter and Instagram kind of got connected last night Ronnie 2k was on a mission apparently Ronnie was on Instagram leaving comments under Instagram models comment sections and he was basically asking them to look at their DMs because he wanted to invite them to an event and long story short Davis got screenshots of this and posted it on Twitter and That kind of started a whirlwind were some 2k youtubers that weren't invited to the event We're like, yo, how are we not getting invited and we weren't uploading the game all year long And you're trying to haul that summer ray and these other Instagram models and like just basically you get what I'm trying to say I thought it was hilarious I know that boy was going in saying like you got to invite people from the community Even if it's not me you got to look around like what are you doing? I thought it was hilarious I will tell you guys this though. I've been to enough events to know that I'm be honest It would be nice to have some females there there's some events where it's just 100% guys and so Sometimes and this has happened to me in specific events companies will hire girls to just strike up random conversations And it's so incredibly artificial that it just feels weird I'm not talking to somebody that's being paid to just talk to me Right, that's a waste of my time when I could be talking to devs or other youtubers or other Actual human beings at the event whether it's reporters or writers, whatever the case is anyway I thought that was funny for our next story of the day This story is gonna make you laugh So the blaze is five gaming were playing in their first game of the NBA 2k league playoffs last week and in true 2k Faction, they lost the game in a pretty heart-breaking way Roll it You couldn't ask for a more Gutt-wrenching but hilarious as long as it didn't happen to me wait there's three hundred thousand dollars on the line in these playoffs and The blaze is five gaming had some of the most unfortunate luck You could possibly think up there with a top seed going into it and a lot of people assume They were gonna cruise their way to the NBA 2k league finals So I guess shit happens. It's 2k. You roll the dice sometimes and it doesn't land your way I thought it was funny for our next story of the day NBA 2k 19s ESRB waiting came back now. I'm sure you guys have been to a game stop before you're like, yo Can I buy a game? He's like This game you mean this game right here. That's M for mature. No bitch cuz you're 17 and you're like really dude Like come on man. So you know that rating the one I'm talking about some people tweeted at me said Yo 2k is ESRB waiting is gonna be E for everyone. So that means that there's no proximity check now on a past Drama alert you guys saw that Mike Wang replied to me kind of poking fun and joking at that classroom video I made saying yo we got to add proximity chat and since then I was like, yo Maybe Mike Wang was been with the shits and they're gonna add proximity chat to the game So someone basically tweeted at me and said agent ESRB's rating is on 19 is E for everyone Which means your proximity chat ain't there and I had to do some research and investigative analysis online Apparently online interactions aren't rated on ESRB and thank the Lord because I was like wow It would have been the greatest feature to add hope is still alive for proximity chat Because apparently the ESRB waiting does not take that into account because if you think about it if they took it into account that means they would also take into account voice chat and You know how people are on voice chat sometimes right for our next story of the day things keep rolling Ronnie 2k was taking shots at EA and things got pretty interesting So Ronnie took this photo here with Quavo and left the caption We're not trying to do what everybody else is doing. He said it had to Quavo hashtag NBA 2k 19 Basically, everyone's like yo, they might be taking some soundtrack shots at our neighbors over there And you know those NBA live guys over there ha ha Apparently an NBA live dev wasn't messing with it because she replied on Twitter She didn't reply but she put out her own tweet throwing some shade. She said this she actually deleted it So I couldn't get the zoomed-in version of it But she basically put up this gif and said I see dead people and Brian Mazeek a writer for Forbes covers all kinds of NBA 2k league NBA 2k stuff hashtag shots fired on the quote tweet now a lot of people didn't get a chance to see the tweet But Brian Mazeek was paying attention. She replied to Brian and said well, nah, but let me delete it before it becomes a story It's already become a story ladies and gentlemen Brian Mazeek replied love, you know what you meant. That was good stuff We haven't had a brand vs. brand chas talk like ever and then cold Big man for Kings gaming replied saying I missed the tweet cold man. I got you don't even worry now I'm not gonna lie to you guys I don't exactly know what kind of shots I see dead people is I Until Brian Mazeek said something I don't even know this had anything related to do with any sort of shots At all so honest, I don't really understand the shot what so which probably means it's a bad shot But I mean maybe just maybe I don't have the IQ for it I don't know for our final story of the day. I don't know why guys, but apparently everybody's mad at annoying TV I don't know what he did shoot put out this tweet and said all that money and still can't fix your teeth Bitch look straight out of a horror movie stop sneak dissing me and okay. I can't I need this video monetize All right, I don't listen on the couple journalists to go There was a couple other people taking shots at annoying and now it's shoot take I don't act I don't watch the stream to know like what he's saying about certain people But apparently he's ruffling some feathers man, and I know he's gonna be in New York I'm gonna be in New York in a few days, so we'll link up and talk man But I felt like it was funny a shoot is always taking shots at oh you see what I did there Oh, man. All right. Anyway, this is a non-story, but I thought it was funny ladies and gentlemen There was all kinds of other news that was announced some information For example just because you have a pure archetype doesn't mean you have all the Hall of Fame badges anymore And now you don't even have to be a pure archetype to have some Hall of Fame badges That Timmerman a dev for NBA 2k put out this tweet saying every archetype has been rebuilt from badges to attribute towers Skill gap is a top priority He followed up saying most dual archetypes have at least one Hall of Fame badge to clear things up Almost 70% of them approximately half of them have more than one so the shot creators you knew in 2k 18 I can have different attributes and badges they redesign everything and I like that they did that I think that if 2k finds a way to create real balance in the game. It could be a lot of fun I like the idea of restructuring it. I hope that they really tested this They got some smart people in there that are good at the game to go in there and test it So we can get some real results so far Unlike any other year like did they're talking nice if we haven't seen them make a push like this for a skills gap in Any 2k ever in 2k 17 we heard the whole like skills matter thing But they really only had a blog about that detailing like we changed this and this and this and they quickly reverted on all of that Stuff 2k if you stick with the shits and you give us a game that has a skills gap that people have to work To be good at not like you just pick up the sticks and it's the same thing as last year super easy I'm telling you man is gonna change the course of history for NBA 2k, and I'm incredibly excited about it Shout out to Zach and Baluba. It seems like I hope they don't fall for the pressure But it seems like they got things moving. That's all there is for the news today ladies and gentlemen run through Mike Wanks Twitter If you guys want to get some additional information, he's always out there tweeting nothing that's of sincere importance But I'm gonna catch you guys in the next one drop the like subscribe to the channel and watch some of these drama Alert videos I'm putting right here.
