 2K continues to keep shooting themselves in the foot because what began as excitement for season 4 NBA 2K 22 content quickly turned to whatever the opposite of excitement is panic. There was prominent content creators getting banned for boosting and with the level 4 reward and the legend award finally being announced and leaked. Well, there was a lot to react to. Hey, y'all new to the channel, man. Be sure to subscribe. We drop content like this. So if you enjoy it, man, do yourself the favor, you'll be notified the next time I drop a video. If you want to see me cut up on 4 to 5 with my racing sim and my VR headset, we do fun stuff like that on stream, on Twitch, twitch.tv slash call me agent 00. Otherwise, I'm afraid to say it, but let's just get into it. All right, man. So first thing that happened was 2K released this patch note where I guess they changed some things getting ready for season 4. They added some tattoo updates. And if you wanted to know if there was any gameplay changes, well, 2K is letting us know now they require you click the steal button to actually steal the ball. Interesting improvement. Because in previous patches, you can hold L2 and for some reason your character will just snag the basketball. So stealing lanes have been nerfed dramatically and it's better that way. If you don't click square, you don't deserve the ball. Interestingly enough, that's it. That's literally it. The rest of the stuff is just vague stability and performance improvements. But at least the people I've talked to so far noted that the game feels better. The gameplay feels better when you actually play it in season 4. So people are starting to feel good. They're excited for what the level 40 reward can be and what the legend reward is. 2K decides to drop a trailer for season 4 where, I mean, this looks so realistically unlike Dwayne Wade. But I guess the theme for season 4 is hunt for glory. Hunt. A tiger. Hunt. And so the race began. I mean, season 4 dropped and content creators alike were all trying to race to be the first legend in NBA 2K22. While in other races, we knew who the front runners were weeks up until they actually hit legend. This time around, because the race was truncated like a 400 meter relay, we had no clue who it could be. Well, Ticino was trying to do his best effort until... Until he got banned. Yup, this video right here is sponsored by Keeps. Hair loss! Ugh, this is such a horrible thing to happen. Good thing is, man, it's 2022. There's something you can do about it.

Yo, Loki, I'm glad you said you got the same thing because I thought for a second, you know. Sorry that I haven't to you, Ticino. And that had Duke asking the question. WTF? Lol, why? Well, until Ticino could get an answer as to why he was getting banned from the game, the reaction started to swarm in because some boosters over on the Asian servers managed to get legend. So while I thought the hype for it was gonna go crazy for a few days, it seemed as though like 12 hours into the season, someone already boosted and got it. And so we kind of spoiled the hype, but at least we knew what we were getting. NBA 2K22 leaks and Intel tweeted, Legend Reward leaked and it is a photo of a parrot. I'm not mistaken. This is a macaw. It's actually a very colorful macaw. I've never seen a macaw this colorful in my life. Did you guys know the blue macaw is now extinct as of last year? I know, sad fact. I'm sorry to hit you with the sad fact. The middle is 2K news, but I thought you should know, you know. And if you're thinking what everybody else was thinking, a parrot? What the f*** does the parrot do for it to be a legend reward? Mal tweeted, Bro, they gave us a bird. Double H tweeted, A booster hit legend on next gen. The only reward is a parrot that appears on your shoulder. This is officially the worst legend reward of all time. I'm left wondering how the legend reward is worse than the level 40 reward. So this is the parrot. I mean, it looks super colorful when you unlocked it, but deadass looks like a crow here with this 2K lighting. Dignify was hurt by the news. He said, Nah, this hurts, man. This is awful. You would have thought he lost somebody. This really the legend reward that we grinded for is 2K trolling with a video of what the parrot actually does. Yes, guys, the parrot does things. Yo, chat. Oh, that's calm. That's calm. This is my house. Oh, man, I'll be tight, dog. All right, man. If I put ours into the grime and the way they grind, I'll be tight right now. The reason I'm not tight is because I didn't grind for it. So I could look back and appreciate that I saved my time. This is my house. Hank the Tank tweeted the 2K devs really sat at a table and said, Let's make the legend reward a parrot that does absolutely nothing. They really thought this was a great idea. LMFAO. The only feature with the parrot is it talks at the end of each win on the backboard and says, Ha, this is my house. I might put that on my soundboard for my streams, man. In other news, believe it or not, it wasn't all bad because if you hit level 40 on NBA 2K 22 season 4, well, you actually get a cooler reward than the parrot. You get a tiger. I know a lot of people have been asking since what was it 2K 16 to bring the tigers back. We want animals. We want a petting zoo in 2K. I mean, even I've said to be cool to bring it back and 2K actually did. NBA 2K 22 leaks and Intel says you have to buy the tiger after hitting level 40 and the price goes up depending on the color 35 to 50 K. So 2K gouging you for the VC even when you actually played and earned it. But he drops a photo here of what it looks like in swags. I wish you would have dropped the photo without a PlayStation thing in the way. I'm dropping a gameplay tomorrow on this channel. Subscribe if you want to see it where I jump into all the small little things 2K added in season 4. So I guess there's the additional cool thing that there's a different color of tiger. If you want to customize your tiger and you want different colors. Today you bring out the purple tiger. Tomorrow you bring out the white tiger. I don't know guys. It depends. Like they'll get you for your VC regardless. Right. I spent 65 K on the pop-ups the new pop-up shops in season 4 and I look hideous. So just to just go to show everything costs a lot of VC in NBA 2K 22. So then people went from unhappy to potentially happy to immediately unhappy when this was tweeted. You can't bring the tiger in the stage and the parrot is small. LMFAO worst 2K reward. So for some reason the tiger can't follow you in stage which is odd because the people who would get the tiger are the type of people who would play on the stage. That'd be like if you bought a performance car but then bought cheap tires. The people that have performance cars are the type of people to track their car. But hey, what do I know? In other news, there was some animations and other small additions made in season 4. This is Max is nice. You might be familiar with him on IG. He said go get my Zion run on 2K of this is the most exaggerated Zion run of all time. How much did it cost? How much did it cost? 750 VC. That's not it's not bad. And here's him in mo-cap actually doing the run. A lot of people called it corny. I personally think it's cool. And then going back to the first story because Ticino finally find out what it was that got him banned from season 4. 2K really got me boys perma banned perma banned because I asked my stream to play no defense if they wanted to so I could get to level 40 fast. Now before real is this 2K guy just clueless. He said looking at my account, it's habitual, but I've never boosted ever before today. Lol, huh? To be honest with you, bro, when people know it's you, they have a tendency to want to throw the game. Anyway, it's one of two things. They either go super try hard so they can get their TikTok clip or they just throw the game because they want to f**k around. Ticino actually telling them to throw the game is why he got banned. It should not be a perma ban. The people that should be perma banned are the guys who got boosting parties together to get the Legend Award first. They should be perma banned, but 2K has yet to ban them. Part of me understands. 2K has eight different seasons. They need content for the eight different seasons. How are they going to drop eight seasons of content while also dropping to NBA 2K23 in like seven months? That seems like an almost impossible task considering they're not hiring more people. Everything's so like divided. They have the current gen and the next gen, but they have to collaborate and tag team on all this new content. Their solution seems to have been to like, they came, they have all the content, but they gated. So they don't give it to us at launch. They give it to us over the course of the year, which listen, I'm not opposed to, at least it feels pseudo new. So it makes, it gives you a reason to want to hop on and play and to be fair, I've had more fun playing in season four than I did in season three. Season three was an absolute disaster. But the reality is when 2K truncates it in every single season, there's a new level 40 reward. Well, first of all, let's think it through. Now that people have reached Legend, at least to try hearts who've done it for the first four seasons, they've got Legend. What is their new inspiration for wanting to hit level 40 unless it's a dope level 40 reward like the Tiger? In my opinion, it's a cool reward. Ah, that's a great question agent. What I think is going to happen is the people who play 2K nonstop are going to have way less of a reason to want to play 2K now. And the only thing that can incentivize them to want to keep going is a good level 40 reward for four more seasons. And the likelihood 2K actually does that, I think is low. I think seasonal content makes sense and even EA has been rumored to potentially just drop a game and do seasons. Like the likes of Rainbow Six, Valorant, League of Legends, plenty of games have that model. 2K is like dipping their toe in the seasonal content, but they're not committing to it. So I don't know what 2K expects to get from this test that is NBA 2K 22. But if people are disappointed with what they've done with seasons is because they didn't commit to it and they just dipped their toes. For what is worse, season four has given me a new reason to want to play the game. And last time I got on, I actually had fun. Wow, guys, I know, right? Sound the round of applause, man. The crowd is going wild. Agent enjoyed himself playing 2K. But again, keeping people on the game is like people always want to improve and get better and rank up. And there has to be new content. Like it's a combination of things that keeps people hooked on wanting to play the game more. 2K has some of those things intact, but some of those things are just missing in action. Let me know how y'all feel about season four so far. How y'all feel about the gameplay, the new content, the legend reward in the comments down below.
