 It seems like every week there's a new patch in NBA 2K22 both on current and next gen and we're hearing the same thing stability update stability update another stability update and if we're being honest that's actually the main complaint most people have been having I've been hearing the wildest stories of glitches and bugs ruining people's experience playing the game there's a lot to talk about and a brand new update that just hit if y'all new to the channel drop a like on the video man and let's get straight into it 1.4 gigabyte patch drop for next gen 2k22 33 gigabyte update drop for 2k22 on the current gen if you just go to the NBA 2k22 website man it's current gen patch update 1.4 followed by 1.6 on the new gen followed by 1.5 on the update next gen and all of them are boasting the same thing man the first note that you see in all of these is a vague one and it says additional stability improvements in an ongoing effort to improve the user experience the devs have made it clear that they have no intention on changing the gameplay any more than they have to there's some badges that have been tweaked and we'll talk about that in a moment but for the most part they want to keep the gameplay the same people have been enjoying the actual gameplay experience i'm hearing from a lot of people this is one of the most fun 2ks they've played in a while how correlated that is to the fact that last year was the most atrocious gaming experience we've ever witnessed who knows literally it might just be that last year was so asked we're just thankful for mid who knows detective agent lives his life in secret in this redacted what looks like innocent video he looks fine but upon a closer look you can see his laptop screen is broken and he doesn't know if he could afford a new one well that's where the sponsor of this video comes in a firm a firm helps you split up the payments so if you want to buy a gaming laptop you don't have to spend all the money up front you could split it up in payments over time look how easy it is all right let's say you want to buy this razor blade 14 inch laptop and for good reason it's the most powerful 14 inch gaming laptop with a and d's rising 5900 hx and up to nvidia g-force rtx 380 graphics just fit that into a laptop makes no sense off the rip purchase boom add to cart boom you fill out your information there's no ding on your credit score and boom you have the entire purchase amount that you can spend right now or you can decide to make the payment over the course of 12 months or six months so if you want to make a big purchase like a gaming laptop man click that top link in the description a huge thank you to a firm for helping sponsor this video what i think happens in the mbhu k community we don't talk about enough is the fact that something will go wrong in like three 2k straight and then we just accept it as like that's just the way it is we just got so used to it we won't even criticize it no more man i'm catching blue screens going this ain't the worst 2k though in terms of blue screens 2k 17 2k 18 have worse blue screens i gotta like wait for more a agent hold on a step back for a moment what is happening right now where i have just accepted the fact that five blue screens in five hours of gaming is acceptable in any other game bro that's like atrocious but on 2k we're just like that's not that bad i mean look at the previous year previous year like that's how we think about things though so then there's no surprise that 2k is focusing a lot of their updates on their ability to just make the game more like more and it's exterior stuff that should have already been fixed is the reason why we can't enjoy the gameplay experience people have hit me up saying like they can't even boot up the right the w pro amp park that every time they boot those up their game gets blue screen and their i've heard of people saying their consoles was bricked over playing 2k 22 people's players getting deleted that's just a constant that happens in every 2k we won't even talk about that anymore but if you guys have been playing 2k for a while you know that just because 2k doesn't put something in the patch knows doesn't mean nothing is going on and people have been getting a little skeptical that things have been changing behind the scenes and 2k is not being up front about those changes somebody sent a tweet to beluba saying can you talk more about the limitless spot of badge on current jen like what is the point of that badge it do not be popping up so mba 2k lab completed some tests where they found that the restrictions placed upon the limitless spot of badge and the chef badge are so strict that there can be circumstances where you're shooting from right here spotting up and the limitless spot of badge does not pop up at all because you're not more than 30 feet away from the basket and and these are shots that in 2k history have almost always popped up for limitless range for deep range extender or whatever they used to call the badge in the past and even for the chef badge they're talking about all the requirements necessary for having this badge activate and it's like it's so specific that you can shoot from the three point line moving or spotting up and neither pops up and these have been badges historically that've been the best in the game consistently they've been the most useful people have retired their build and made a completely new one just to get hall of fame on limitless range or deep range extender so to have to be this useless in 2k it was like something that 2k was trying to fix and they did mba 2k put out a post saying a minor badge balancing update will go live for current and new jen tomorrow morning containing the following slight reduction in the effectiveness of the mismatch expert and blinders increased effectiveness of uncle unpluckable no patch download is required for this update this last part is actually pretty interesting because it kind of helps feed the theory that 2k has been low-key changing things i've just no secret that you'll hop on one day and the game will just feel different we don't exactly know why like the game could just be more responsive or less responsive but it doesn't feel the same way it felt yesterday when you play it feels entirely different so then you stop to think like what else has changed so chalk a professional mba 2k league player he put out a tweet saying blinders was buffed not nerfed 1 000 percent of typo and this is something i've actually heard from a decent amount of people where they feel like things have already been changed and if 2k doesn't actually have to drop a patch they can just change things without saying nothing then what's the chance is that they're gonna reveal to the world that something's been changed every single time it's actually much easier to just do the change in secret and then nobody notices anything changed that way there's zero percent chance but not zero but there's a way less percent chance that people are gonna get frustrated about a change that they didn't even know happened mike wagery iterates here that we're trying to be extra careful to keep all day one gameplay balance intact as best we can so these are pretty conservative badge tweaks please keep the feedback coming 2k it's a shame that like there have been great games in 2k history like 2k 19 and what sounds like 2k 21 on current annexing is going to qualify in that category as long as something doesn't go atrociously long and it wasn't the gameplay that did up for these games it was just other stuff with 2k 19 the issue was a horrible shotgun test system and balancing issues to stretch bigs ran the game and with 2k 21 it seems like blue screens and lag and horrible servers and unresponsive gameplay seems like that's gonna be the thing and every time I want to cut 2k slack I have to think to myself man when I play any other game is experience this inconsistent and the answer is almost always a resounding no and so then I'm like I can't get I can't cut 2k slack on stability issues and it's like the six patch we've received between current and next gen and it's been like a month since the games launch think about that we're like six updates the stability patch after stability patch one more man another fucking stability patch and still the game is not stable I'm telling you there's gonna be a time where 2k just deems it like damn let's just move on to the next game this is good enough 2k is gonna reach that point where they're like this is good enough I'm telling y'all 2k I need you to know that the game as it is right now is not good enough that even though a lot of the biggest issues like the hangups with the story mode that prevented you from continuing from deleted character most of the issues have been solved yes but those are also issues that we literally should not have even had to deal with because the game should have came out more polished than it did and it's so easy for me to fall back and say 2k 21 next gen was worse the first month of 2k 21 next gen we were playing on like five frames per second it wasn't gaming dog that shit was not gaming I wouldn't that doesn't qualify as gaming I refuse to call it that so this is better by miles in comparison we know that the launch of 2k 22 was also better than the launch of most NBA 2k titles even though wasn't a good launch it's such a delicate balance of like trying to understand but then also like come on dog like we have standards like this is not meeting the standards so this clip right here popped on the NBA 2k reddit and it's an ecliptidus guy skateboarding doing a little ollie and then he jumped past look guys look a trampoline in the 2k 22 city the fact that 2k even has anything outside the city like this I thought he was just gonna drop underneath this anyway besides oh there's a follow-up clip where is this is the penthouse where is this this is top is this the penthouse this might be like the balcony of the penthouse and then he fell look at how he's falling dog this is a game this is a AAA title by the way I dropped this year people always like at me when something goes wrong with their game like I'm the solution to the fix which is like I kind of get it I talk about those issues on this channel so I feel like I understand why they would at me so I get the luxury of just hearing about most people's mba 2k related issues on my twitter feed and man some of the shit that I hear on a daily basis is insane yo I want to hear in the comments down below what unique bugs and glitches y'all have been experiencing but if not man there's a video right here where I walk around the city and if I see an ad I have to buy their IRL all right it costs me a lot let me answer you I'll catch you guys in the next one I'm out peace
