 Alright, there's there's no fancy stuff here in this video. I'm so fucking frustrated right now. Alright y'all, the last couple days has been just so infuriating for me and it all started off with me just wanting to hop on the park and play. In fact, YouTube's been trying to hold me back from swearing but in this video right here, I won't make it through the video without saying fuck a bunch of times. So I don't care about the ad revenue or the views, this shit right here has to be said. 2K, you are so oh so close to shooting yourselves in the foot. You have the gun locked and loaded, it's aimed down at your big toe and you're so close to shooting it off and then you won't be able to walk anymore. And you know what, a lot of us blame the devs for what I'm about to be talking about here in this video but it's not their fault. Think about it, the game comes out unfinished the last few years, right? 2K16 was a disaster but I was like yo it's not bad and then after all the patches it got a little bit better. 2K17 was just a straight out disaster, 2K18 off to a horrible start and they all have something in common. The games come out unfinished. Now what would you do if you came out with an unfinished product? You could add people to the team, right? Add talent, add more people. What a lot of developers do is they have different dev teams. So while one dev team is working on Assassin's Creed this year there's another dev team working on Assassin's Creed for the next year so that they have two, three years to work on the game instead of just one so that they can have more. This last Assassin's Creed is wavy, bro. That break they took well deserved because they came out with a good product that I'm gonna be playing right after this video. And for me it's so disappointing to see game after game I'm playing. Every game I touch just I've been playing a lot of rainbow it's how did Ubisoft become the standard for good development? In 2014, 2015 Ubisoft was being, it was a disaster down there. Everybody was saying this is scam, they're destroying games, they're false advertising. Ubisoft was one of the worst companies just a few years ago and now they're being used as the good standard relative to 2k. Okay let me let me bring it back to the point. I hopped on the playground and for the what feels like the millionth time I had to go in and retest jumpers. So I was going to start retesting jumpers. I had a few games under me I was taking some L's because I was breaking I was making new shots I was trying new stuff and it wasn't the losses that were bothering me it was the fact that releases like this weren't being rewarded releases like this weren't being rewarded and this is where it gets super frustrating I didn't make a video on this stuff because I wanted to keep it low-key for myself I hit up my guys at NBA 2k lab I told them please test out base 49 it was the a1 release for me last year it was the first one to do it it's very rare stuff it looks different this year but I wanted to see if it was still deadly they came back with the results they told me agent it has the biggest make percentage of any release we've tested and so I said first of all I know this is what I do I do jump shots not only did I got D'Angelo right right I got base 49 right and I just felt like I was on top of the world then patch four hit when I tell y'all patch four hit patch four hit not only did some of the releases like amateur one slowed down the green windows were cut in half and they absolutely demolished the skills gap some of y'all are thinking right now agent didn't you say you wanted to make it harder to hit jump shots they didn't make it more difficult for worse jump shooters to hit they made it more difficult for good jump shooters to hit on the park I can't talk about the program because I haven't been on it as much and I'm gonna be talking about how that's gonna change later in this video and this story has a purpose because through all the patches yesterday I hopped on and I was like let me test I'll go back to testing they destroyed base 49 they destroyed amateur one they destroyed d'Angelo d'Angelo was is my the best one so far that I've used but it was nothing like it was before I can't call it a one anymore because it's now a two it just isn't a one a one is held to such a high standard after patch four it's officially a two since then there's been no communication there's been absolutely no transparency and every day I hop on I don't know what changed what didn't change but something feels different I was on yesterday and I was like you know what it's my name is agent zero this is what I do I'm gonna go back to testing jump shots you know where I was I was playing with my guy bake we're taking some L's but I made him aware this is what we do when we test jump shots we're gonna end up taking some L's but then the latency started to spike for the first time since playing on my ps4 pro I went from literally almost picture perfect standards of latency to atrocious and I only had one jump shot that was good through latency and that used the amateur one base which 2k destroyed so I'm I was playing games and I was losing and I was it was good releases and it was so frustrating for me because I felt like why aren't we rewarding good shooters to me the the gameplay is solid the sliders are an issue one and even when you play park if you head to high rollers it's the same thing people just running zigzag with pierce sharps or there's just one three or four screens of possession doing the same thing there's no like the reason I'm and I'm gonna be talking about later I'm gonna get more into pro am is because there's more dynamic park is just so frustrating they didn't build park for people to be competitive on the fact that you could be the best park player on the planet like the people that play 24 seven you could be the best on the planet and lose to a scrub every once in a while it's crazy have you ever seen LeBron actually try and lose to a 12 year old because that's how it feels like sometimes not only did they diminish the scale gap by increasing heavily contested shots but they also decreased the scale gap by increasing the amount of blow by animations you click square sometimes it forces you into a layup sometimes you actually do the hop step you're trying to do there's too much randomness to really play this game too competitively you some you never when you're playing a game you want to be competitive you have to know which animation you're gonna get when you click a button and with 2k you don't know if you're gonna do a windmill or you're gonna do a tomahawk you never know it's so random so that part it just frustrated me I already knew I was gonna start playing more pro am because like prime right now reminds me a lot of socom back in the day it's just a tight-knit community of guys with a whole lot of ego that are trying to play competitive that in like do you ever played a really competitive game before you don't get that feeling on the park like it's occasionally 1919 you hit a game when a three-year high but on the prime when you're facing really good competition and then you end up winning on said really good comp and you had a phenomenal you're gonna get it's a whole new feeling so for me it's just like it's not the developers because regardless of what game gets put out the developers are getting paid the same salary it's the guys at the top who instead of focusing on making a good game and you know what you can you can say I the games are gonna cost more to make we're gonna have more people on the team we're gonna change this and that we're gonna incur more cost to create a better game so that consumers are actually satisfied and then actually be willing to spend money in micro transactions and on the initial purchase of the game but instead what 2k does is they say let's just put out a game right and then once we put out that game let's just milk it for as much money as we have and it's so sad to see the game go down this path like it just makes me like Ubisoft is a good standard I've been playing Assassin's Creed a phenomenal story it's the first time I've really enjoyed a story mode since the last of us and I'm playing it and even you know Assassin's Creed with all the work they put in a game that's only single player they allow you to skip the cutscenes 2k why can't we skip cutscenes in 2k 18 it's such a simple ass we don't want to fucking sit there through the cutscenes we're tired of this shit it's not a good story let us skip the cutscenes it's not difficult you won't lose the money you just don't want to do it for what reason what I get if you worked hard on your cutscenes but let the people that want to watch them watch them for the people that don't care or watching it for the second time let us skip it it's it's like there's so much decisions like the cutscenes that I'm like how is the decision you make polar opposite to what everybody's asking for there is no possible negative for the consumers to have the ability to skip cutscenes it's an option it's not like you're forcing us to the story still exists for people that care like I don't even like I haven't been on the my team side but I already know my team is just frustrated with everything right and for me like it might even just for me be franchise fatigue maybe that's where all the frustration for me is coming from right uh when I first started playing 2k around 2k 10 it was my career right and then uh I switched off my career I was playing my jam I switched off my jam I played my team I was switched off my team I've been playing a lot of park and I'm just like like it might just be that for me and I don't stop trying to tell me to play NBA live Asian you know you could stop all right if 2k is this bad and you don't see me playing NBA live it's because NBA live is worse I don't mess with and fuck with the game playing on NBA live period now one day it might be a good solid game but for me right now don't I'm not a 2k fanboy I'm not a EA do NBA live I'm not a fanboy for anything I just want to play a solid game I'm gonna upload park I'm gonna stop playing it as much I'm I'm not here's I'm gonna word it properly I'm not playing park seriously anymore any time I'm on the park is to goof around I know I'm making my six foot slasher that's just obvious to me all I'm gonna be doing is having fun goofing around because I refuse to take that game mode serious at all ever again 2k is trying to toe the line by putting up polls trying to convince people that they care about community feedback and you know what the developers might but I'm telling you that some people are like I voted on that poll and I said don't change heavily contested shots please leave it alone first of all it's a low percentage shot so anybody taking those I would gladly give that to you second of all I don't want them breaking something else did they fix the squad spots but now when you try and join without an invite and you go on your phone you click join park it throws you an entirely different part like it's like just if they just sat down and listen for a second they would know we want the option to match make like I love the fact that I could walk around in the neighborhood on the park it's really cool dope idea I think it was executed properly outside of some bugs and server issues we don't have an option to match make sometimes it takes up to 20 minutes and more if you're not a youtuber luckily people just want to play with me when I'm on the park if you're just a random you know how long it takes to get in games people will prefer to match mate on top of the fact that the ads are just everywhere aren't y'all tired of seeing that ruffles court the obnoxious amount of advertisements everywhere you look in the game it's like can we cut it out when are we gonna start focusing on making the best possible product and the anger right now is for any of the new people in the community just know it's not it's not something new this been going on this isn't anything new it's been like this so I'm not for you people who are new like why is he so frustrated some of this seems like small stuff these are literally issues plaguing the franchise that they refuse to fix that they could very well fix like here right here y'all seen look at look at the screen pay attention this right here are the patch notes for ubisoft rainbow six siege the latest patch not only did they destroy latency they took latency enough that the fuck out we went from 80 milliseconds 60 milliseconds between their ping latency button delay I'm getting 20 now I'm playing in games with people with nine millisecond eight millisecond and they dropped an entire detailed patch notes we don't even know what the fuck they're talking about but the fact that they're willing to go into detail ubisoft messed up with watchdogs the next couple years was a disaster but they realized yo we can milk these guys for profit short term that's a viable strategy that's what 2k is doing right now but long term you're telling people you don't give a fuck about them and the second you start to give that message people stop buying your game so this the most heated rant video I've ever had I'm not making no money off this shit because I already swore too much and I know when I'm editing this back I'm gonna leave it in there because I'm that cheese we're sticking around 2k 2k we're waiting for you guys to drop a product that focuses on creating a great experience 2k if it helps just increase the cost for a second forget about profitability and have two dev teams so when 2k 19 drops it was worked on for two years and then it becomes a really good product that's really polished I'm tired of these games coming out and they come out with all these bugs and issues then we're beta testers I'm gonna create content on the game and I'm gonna start hopping on pro amp and for me I think it's gonna change things because I'm gonna actually enjoy playing a new game mode that and keep in mind it's 2k the skill gap isn't massive but it's way bigger skills gap on pro amp than there ever is on the park especially with this latest patch four with this latest patch four you can release the ball perfectly as if I had a modded controller and there's still a good chance you missed the shot that for me for someone that's asking for a skills gap is a deal breaker and so where I'm a goal is I'm just make my six six post score right I'm gonna make my six foot pierced slash and just destroying folks with exciting animations I'm gonna be casual on the park officially because I can no longer take that game mode seriously is is fucking pathetic the road 2k is going down right now I don't like making videos like this for obvious reasons all right but I can't just sit here and continue to take else are you we're just gonna sit here and continue to take else how long is it gonna take before we actually get to see the changes we want implemented into the game I'll wait unbelievable unbelievable again I'm not gonna blame the devs because the devs are just working right and from what I understand the devs work around the clock it's the guys at the top who've made it their specific and only purpose to extract as much money as possible because for them it's not about making a good game 2k 18 isn't out they didn't upload and they didn't launch they didn't promote 2k 18 so that basketball fans can have a good game to play they did it to make money at the very core I get that's what businesses do all right I understand but what I know is that when I'm happy with a dev team like Naughty Dog when Uncharted 4 comes out when The Last of Us comes out I'm spending micro transactions not only because I want to support the developers but because they come out with great DLC content they come out the micro transactions are reasonable you don't feel forced you don't feel like you have to buy it to compete they don't have about an 80 dollar game in Canada with a pay-to-play model I don't know if they're ever gonna learn I think the only way 2k is gonna learn is when people drop off the map there are so many solutions to the problems 2k is facing but they refuse to go in that direction because it either costs too much money actually that's the only reason ever why we got we look up we see advertisements on the billboards every event there is Mountain Dew event Ruffles event every event is just plastered the Ruffles event is so obnoxious are you telling me like all right I want y'all to think about this because I had this thought and then I'm gonna close the video after this have you guys played the Ruffles event if you have you'll know when you play it you get 30 game boosts and for the first time in a while I thought 30 boosts for playing ruffles yo 2k that's that's what's up that's a really generous gift to give to people considering every year you get less and less vc for playing 2k right I was like yo yo what we're talking about here is 30 boosts and then it clicked for me once people going all they have to do is go into the event one time people 2k doesn't care about the 30 boost they're gonna turn to ruffles like yo we had five million impressions look we had all these impressions because people came in here and then 2k makes more money so when it comes to making money 2k is willing to give us the stuff we want 30 boosts for playing just one game of ruffles that sounds crazy right 2k would why would they ever do that they just destroyed the high rollers because people were doing a vc glitch and rightfully so I didn't do the glitch but I understand why people did it it's out of control if I didn't care about my account being banned or if I thought maybe they wasn't gonna ban people I would have done it too in fact I wasn't even on the game at the time it was happening I was doing other stuff everybody watching this video is nodding their head because you've experienced one thing or another whether you play competitive or casual you look at this game and you're like it could have been so much better if the priorities were on point some of y'all like overestimate the amount of power I have I'm just talking about my experiences on the game people like agent you should boycott 2k or you should play NBA live you should do this like none of it's just it's not gonna work it's gonna hit 2k one day but I think it's it has it has to really hit right because Ubisoft brand took a dive for the worst right people all like yo the dubisoft straight up they create garbage games bro they deceive us with trailers and CGI trailers to get people to buy the game and it turns out to be trash that was Ubisoft's brand for a few years and then they went back to making games that people enjoyed now I play a lot of Rainbow Six people love talking shit about Ubisoft that play the game oh Ubisoft you fucking garbage but if they ever for a second play 2k the way I play 2k if they ever played as much as me when I hop on games like Rainbow Six and there's a glitch and I'm stuck in the window like this that is the least of my issues because that happens once in a blue moon and on 2k it happens every time I hop on like I'm just playing 2k is maybe so grateful for other games I play because I'll see a problem and I'm like it's not as bad as 2k right and that metric is there for me because it's not as bad as 2k should never be a saying you want people to say about your company and I don't want to say 2k as a whole just 2k 18 specifically because I can't speak for the other games I don't play like the way I play 2k but I'm frustrated the last couple days have just been treacherous and I came to the realization that I'll be playing park for fun casual I'm no longer competitive anything if you beat me on the park don't even send a screenshot I was goofing around 100% of the time I'm gonna try pro I'm gonna try to get into pro I'm learning pro I'm and hopefully there I think and a lot of people told me like yo Asian I just started playing pro I'm the shit was wavy and they just fixed the east coast west coast issue the game is starting to clear up with bugs and patches which like thank god the fact that they were there to begin with this kind of crazy but at least they're gone now that's how I'm feeling people all right I don't you know I don't try and do rant videos they just happen and this is all I was feeling today with this is out of control and when I mean out of control don't take those words like I mean there is a line and 2k is so far across that it's unbelievable that they're still going the way they're going all right anybody who's played the game long enough in fact you could be a casual player and you should be able to connect with this message here um I'm going to cool down I need to go I just mean the third time I played basketball today because I'm just so heated today for a various number of reasons sorry the video was so long never meant for it it just I was talking all right if you guys enjoyed the video make sure to drop a like if y'all knew subscribe to the channel I'm gonna catch you guys later I'm out peace
