Anyways folks onto the episode Hey everyone Welcome to the Nintendo Prime podcast another episode this one getting back to the roots of the Eric and Nate experiment It's what this podcast felt like for so long no guests this week We have one person we were gonna kind of get on but timing didn't really work And I wanted to make sure we got this episode in because it's about a couple weeks and my goal right now Is to get at least one episode in every other week We are getting closer and closer to our patreon goal. We have someone who even on You two the other day said they were gonna be a $20 supporter soon And I do that nice that's going to put us close to 70 bucks That means we're like a $20 and a couple supporters away from hitting our goal to make this weekly. So that's exciting Yeah, and obviously, you know $20 a month on patreon.com Let's you come on the podcast, which is really really cool I also started a new thing this week and I've been advertising a little bit some other videos I apologize if you heard it already, but I started this new thing at gawkbox.com slash Nintendo Prime They'll be a link down in the description because we know I know a lot of we have a lot of younger viewers A lot of people who are like me and just are broke all the time But you still want to support your favorite content creators So gawkbox let's you as long as you have a smart device You just download some apps and they in there the people who made the apps will tip me For you guys just basically downloading apps and playing games If you ever played mobile games before sometimes like I play tap baseball They'll be like you can go in and earn free gold by like downloading apps and stuff. It's kind of like that except it seems a lot simpler I'm actually kind of you know Interested I almost wanted to cheat the system myself. I'm not I'm not allowed to tip myself But like I want to because one of the apps I could download is that Final Fantasy 15 game Oh, yeah, and if I get to level 25 in that one, I make like Along the way I end up making over $100 Nice, so it's like oh, I spent three dollars, but I made a hundred Yeah, I can't do that for me So but yeah, it's just a really cool way and plus some of the games aren't that bad Like if if you're someone who likes Angry Birds and maybe there's an angry bird games You haven't played there's a couple different angry bird apps on there. You can download It's just a really interesting way to support your favorite content creators, which hopefully we're one of them Without having to spend any money and heck as you listen into this podcast you just kind of do do away I mean some of the donations or donations some of the tips are as low as like 30 cents and some of them are as high as like a Hundred dollars, so it's all about what interests you absolutely never gonna encourage you to download things you have no interest in That's dumb don't download things that don't interest you But if you right want to support us, it's a quick easy free way to do it No, are these all free downloads or they paid downloads everything is free Okay, the idea is that you do not have to pay anything to support us right So obviously like the one in the Final Fantasy 15 game or whatever You're probably not getting the level 25 without spending some money. So like or unless you have a Like mass amounts of time on your hands. Yes a lot of time on your hands And I just wanted to get done in 10 minutes. So yeah, it was worth the $3 for my mother But anyways, yeah, so that's just a way to support us Otherwise, we always encourage people go to patreon.com session ten or five literally just five dollars a month You get early access to our podcast. I do have a few patreon exclusive posts I'm trying to get more and more active a patreon. We just hit 10 patrons so we finally hit double digits and That's who awesome like I never thought there'd be 10 people who give a given up crap enough about the podcast is Like actually go to patreon support us because the patreon it actually supports the whole channel But right now until we hit that hundred dollar gold all about the podcast So once we hit the podcast goal, I'll start adding new tiers for different types of content I plan to be creating maybe some retrospectives And some other stuff like that that takes longer. It's not necessarily like a news reporter discussion something that actually takes some time I'm not that those don't take time, but I can get those done like on the daily Versus something that might take me a week or two of editing and research I think you guys will be really interested in that kind of content expanding what we do But first thing first podcast needs to hit that hundred dollar goal that we have great. So get into the actual podcast now This is gonna be a bit of a weird podcast because this is probably the most unprepared podcast I see we have and that's really crazy There's a podcast number 33. We've had some wild ones in the past least in a while most No topic list Well, we have one one kind of sort of topic but It's the the reason we're running with the wild wild west this week is just because there's been a lot that's happened We had the Nintendo Direct since the last time we had a podcast and we did do a reacts to that But we could touch on a little bit of that news. There was some Nindies thing which for the most part Outside of you know Travis tracks again. It looks good like about the indie games. They look great I will say golf story golf story golf story golf story golf story You have no idea what I'm talking about. It is basically Mario golf RPG You know what I may have seen something about that but it's supposed to be coming out this month, but really the state Well, they only got what eight days left So sometime within the next week. Yeah for it. It's I am so pumped for go everything that comes out about it Oh my god, this is this is Mario golf RPG on crack and I am so pumped You can just drop a ball and hit it anywhere. Oh, that's a heck of a practicing rock I don't like you hit you with a ball. It's got like full stories arc and nice like quests and all the stuff Nice as you're traveling and playing through eight courses to become like the golf champion I was like this is amazing. Mm-hmm. It's everything I want In it's everything. I always wanted Mario golf to be and Mario tennis. Yeah Those were fun games, too But then there, you know, then they stripped it all down and now you know, they're more like arcade style Sports games, which I understand having to peel like like I always thought that Super Strikers the soccer game for Mario was fine It was an arcade style game. That was fine, but I always felt like that was like a separate thing from the overarching Aspect don't worry. Yeah, it's just my monitors. Yes saving energy Sorry, everybody was freaking out for a moment. I'd be like, did your computer just shut off? Yeah computers on monitors I have them set up now. So I save a little money. Yeah so, yeah, we we uh It's something that I'm just glad exists because I feel like It's something I know that I always wanted but it's not something I thought about much, right? Because I kind of just gave up on the what's Nintendo gave up on I figured it was never happening, right, right? But here we go Golf story full RPG game based around golf that actually does sound like a lot of fun And like it's all sprites and just reminds you of the old school stuff. Nice. So amazing I'm gonna have to look this up. Yeah, and the thing is like One thing we you know, obviously we're talking about some indie stuff here. I feel like the switch is Really getting some awesome indie support like every game that comes out and it seems to be a high quality indie game, right? Um, that doesn't mean that every indie game is good I have not played every indie game on switch So I don't know but every game that seemingly has come out and it's just been fat I mean Thumper was really really good In fact, if anyone's doubting HD rumble because you know a lot of games don't take good advantage of it play Thumper Oh my god It's like an entirely different experience and it's available in VR and other systems and I know people love it I'm telling you if we had VR on switch with the HD rumble It you mine would be blown because HD rumble is like it's just perfect for that game And that's just one example after that. There's other indie games use HD rumble as well But Thumper it really fits in with that kind of kind of game but yeah, it's we just had steam world dig to come out and The only reason I even know that it came out because I'm not someone who pays a ton of attention to an indie games come out Any more I just kind of check the eShop once in a while and hey look the reason I know about this is because someone asked me in the comments You know am I gonna buy it? Well, it's 20 bucks That's that's a put me up or because 20 bucks in an indie game That's not you know super expensive, but I started thinking of like B tier indie games. I started thinking games like ukulele More upper echelon of the indies, but the thing is a steam world dig to is getting like perfect tens Like everywhere well And I'm like I didn't play the original so that's the thing if I played the original then I would Probably worth 20 bucks hands down right, but I didn't play the original so it's like and apparently this game is just Way better than the first one ever was I there was several viewers that said even if you've never played pick this one up Huh, so I'm like and that you don't hear too often because no and I'm like a couple bucks short on the eShop So whatever I can I could probably buy it right now if I want because I have like $18 over from a fan donation Thank you so much by the way for the fan who donated for me to get sonic mania Okay, you gave way too much money man By the way, this isn't like a thing. I do not be giving me eShop credit I do not want this to become a thing if I can't afford games. I can't afford games. That's my problem But yeah, it's The indie games on switch are For as much talk as I've done lately of third-party games because there's been a lot of third-party game announcements And triple a announcements and I just made a video Well, I guess when this goes up last week and you know how third parties no longer have an excuse to not make games on switch, right? We've hit a point now where we can't just ignore the indies because right, right? Oh my god, are they releasing good game after good game? I mean they're releasing games that you might want to play more than a triple a game. Yeah Yeah, it's possible. I mean I a lot of the stuff that I've seen even with the like the Nintendo director It was like that game actually looks pretty good That game actually looks pretty good That game looks pretty good, right? So it's it there's it's kind of amazing though that they can at least make it look good You know to the old-school feeling but still new school Look type thing. I love it. What they do with India is so so awesome. It's almost You know, I mentioned it before I feel like indies are almost the revival of the B tier of gaming It's for a long time B tier just kind of went away your earthworm gems in the world Not so basically once the move the 3d happened It suddenly wasn't so easy to make those games everyone expected 3d games right and indies You know came back around around the we DS PlayStation 3 era and suddenly People start realizing hey people still like playing those kind of games. Yeah, no one. Yeah, no one was making them anymore, right? Right, so yeah, yeah, I'm just so thrilled with how the indie lineup is looking on switch And obviously some of these games or a lot of these games are also available on PC Some of them are exclusive to switch some of them are only console exclusive to switch But it's still overall a very Interesting place to be with switch taking the stuff on the go putting it on your TV Switch is just a very unique system Not unique in that it's the first thing to ever try doing this right but unique in that It's the only one to be successful at it right So I'm pretty pumped But we talked about triple A for a second and I Know you guys are probably like sick of me complaining about NBA 2k 18 Yeah, I know I get it Okay, and I get that some of my complaints you might be like well if you didn't play the game on other platforms you maybe you Okay, that's fine, but I think here's my issue with NBA 2k 18 overall after an experience that we had last night It was very infuriating Twice last yeah twice last night. That's why he makes even worse right when we think we fixed it We really didn't because I screwed up my own team apparently. Yeah, apparently I had an injury, but I can't get injured No, you didn't have enough players. No, you didn't have enough players. So here's the here's the deal But you couldn't sign players. Here's the deal I played a hell of a lot of NBA 2k 17 on Xbox last year and I loved it. There wasn't hardly any Major bugs or I'm sure some people be like, oh, yes, there was this one. I didn't encounter the major bugs I played every single boat in the game and had a fantastic time all of it so when I'm playing the demos of NBA 2k 18 on Xbox one PlayStation 4 and then I'm comparing it to my experience with the full game on switch Obviously a lot of the time I'm running into issues or most of the issues is on switch because those issues weren't in the demos So things like the my career mode where the frame rates drop down to like 10 or less in the cutscenes And suddenly, you know, you you'll hear the audio at normal speed But then it takes like 10 minutes for the video to catch up and you just sit there and you can't skip it So you're listening to nothing as you're watching these guys slowly animate all around. It's really annoying And I was probably funny to watch the first time I haven't seen that in the demos in the other system because the demos caught off before you got to those cuts So, you know, I it was my natural assumption a bad one that those didn't have that issue but apparently all of them have that issue and I I've come to some realizations here that I think NBA 2k 18 is just the worst NBA 2k game to come out in a long time just from Quality check standards. They did not like we the thing is you and I play like Madden every year We know there's little quirks and little bugs There's still the little trade bug where you can just throw a crappy guy in there Don't don't tell him that wait. No, wait, never mind. They won't fix anything. What do you tell what I'm talking about some franchise mode Yeah, remember they touch franchise mode last year and gave us back one of the Practice squad. Yeah Didn't touch Franchise mode this year, but yet somehow new bugs keep popping up Yeah, I mean the thing is the thing is with us with Madden at least when these bugs happen we expected well, it's not just that we we expect it. We're used to it with Madden and But that game breaking right, right, they're annoying But you can work around them usually well, they're not game stopping like when oh, you might be game breaking Your numbers stop appearing on your jerseys, right still play, right? They might be game breaking in a sense that when we what you go with negative billion dollars in revenue and then all of a sudden you had a Like a hundred million dollars in camp room or something like that. Yeah last year So game breaking and that's game breaking because it breaks the game That just might be the cost of my stadium. It breaks the game, but it doesn't stop the game Yeah, you can still play through that's why I said it didn't break the game It just it would just be a really weird bug But there's always a worker right and it's annoying like adding five million to your funds at a time. Okay, come on Yeah, you should let me just add and there's little things little quirks to that You figure they should fix in Madden as well You know like when you're trying to sign players like why can't I just why do I have to wait for a thing to tick up? Why can I just change the numbers right and they had it and they take away and and that's that's something that We I mean admittedly last night was probably the most excited. I got in playing NBA 2k because I I played online games that play matches. I have a good time. I like NBA 2k games I like the NBA so like I'm gonna like the NBA 2k games, but I Haven't played NBA 2k 8 or NBA 2k NBA live 18 It's not available on switch thought maybe it's less buggy I don't know but as an example last night I got super pumped because we were playing a my GM mode My league mode where we could customize the whole league and do whatever and we created our own teams and I mean We were just super impressed because I haven't played a mold like that that had that much customization a long time because I Have been playing on Madden and Madden used to have that what used to be able to customize every aspect of your stadium Yeah, every aspect of your jersey every aspect of your team. Yeah, it was awesome You can customize all this stuff and then they just took it out one year Yep, I think it was shortly after they got the contract So they're like, oh, we don't have to you know Over NFL 2k anymore. Well NBA it doesn't have an exclusivity contract with 2k. So maybe that's why they still have it. I don't know but it was really impressive Yeah, oh, yeah that that was working flawlessly. We designed our own stadiums. It was sick our own logos I don't go to schemes everything your jerseys. It was just awesome It was like, oh my god This makes me not even want to play Madden anymore because of how awesome this is right like the attention to detail Yeah, and I'm sure this has been in the game for a little while. So this probably isn't a new feature, but Whatever, so we're playing and and you know, we're Well, we didn't actually play gaming together because how we do how we do the leagues is that we just basically played the big end game Championship we try to get both teams to the finals So we take over team in each conference and try to go to the finals and build our rosters because we Enjoy the simulation aspects. You love simulations and checking out the stats. Yeah, we love managing teams Yep, I for some of you guys like oh, we're not even playing the game. I'm like we are playing. That's how we yeah It's a sports simulation right if you're not into sports You're not gonna understand why it's so fun to manage your team right like in the back of my head I'm like, oh if I was the Packers, what move would I make right exactly? Yep, so if I was the GM of the Bucks, what what move would I make now? Would I get rid of Matthew de la Dova and John Henson to create cap space? So I can sign a big free agent with Yanis next year We're gonna be a big free agency. How can I convince Paul George to come to the Bucks or something, right? So I like that aspect. I know it's all fantasy, but I guess I play fantasy football I love this management aspect So it's cool to try to build a team from the ground up whether you're advancing rookies or trying to get big-name players like What sucked in the last one that we did is I finally got Kevin Durant Yeah, yeah, you did and then it screwed up which I'm sure makes you smile because now my team isn't this big ultra team but My my team was getting pretty stable. I know I was I was probably and the thing is I had an opportunity For exact Chris Blash sign. Yeah, he's getting up there But who said like 25 mil for one season, but he drops off and something have enough money to sound like another Kevin Durant Great, great. Oh, come on. I imagine if I get Kevin Durant and LeBron James the same team back off season boy Anyways, so whatever we're having fun, right? We are literally enjoying the game We didn't even mind having the injuries on we were managing the injuries It was kind of interesting trying to actually manage a roster instead of just yeah, you know What we ended up doing the second time around where you didn't have to manage anything There's no one cuz yeah, we just turned me explain why we turned injuries off It wasn't because we wanted to per se although it makes simulating easier And trades off trades off makes you just offer you bad trades. Oh terrible just bad trades, but Or maybe it's just because I just didn't care who my my assistant GM was So yeah, he was he was the one finagling these deals. I'm like, yeah, no, no No, you want to give me Steph Curry for like eight of my players. I'm cool with that, right, right? No, so that's besides we're having fun and We were in the offseason. We actually got through the first offseason the first time. Yeah, it's fine That's what was really frustrating about that. We were two seasons in And you know the second off you were building your team with youth Yep, I was building my team through free agency. Yeah, it seems similar to men No, I go I go so youth Now you do Not always depends. You're certain players like you know, like a J.J. Watts can be 99 for seven seasons Right, but you were just you were just sick of getting your butt whooped every year So he's decided to have to put a little bit of you better at Madden this year Well Well, that is very true. Well, we haven't had it for 10 Super Bowls Played enough of it. Yeah, but no, so we're just having a good time and really like for all you guys in the games good I agree. Oh, yeah, this is phenomenal The we were having a blast in this mode that I didn't even play it before talking about it Because it heck you can even create your own player in there and sign up. So like, you know, we can't think we can't No, you can create your own players. No, he gets out of the phage pool. Yeah, so you can go out of the fancy Maybe This gets the bug so we're We're going through the period and we get to the summer league portion of the offseason and the offseason is great It's very in-depth. I mean, there's even a little thing where like rule changes could happen No, I I mean, you can turn that off. I left it on because that actually happens every offseason They have boats like that, but whatever you can turn it off We like they changed the very first offseason. We actually got through it all They changed one rule from the takes 10 seconds to get across the court to six. Yeah I'm like, I mean, I guess it doesn't really make that big of a difference. Right. I mean, we're scoring Yeah, that's the idea. It's the quick in the game make it more entertaining. I understand whatever. Yeah But that that kind of what's never gonna pass in real life. No, but it's still just interesting a whole depth It is player retirements and how intricate the contracts are compared to the NFL qualifying offers and Team options and player options and restricted free agency. That's not a thing in the NFL. Yeah, it is restricted free agency It's not man. Yeah Yeah, probably not no, but well, that's what's it. Maybe in real life It is there's no restricted me like this is how in depth this game is Oh, I know it is so close to what really happens in the NBA Obviously some things are unrealistic. Come on right is never gonna sign with the team on Milwaukee Yeah, no, I created my team in Milwaukee. So walkie had two teams. Yep, and there's no way Kevin Ransons I'm sorry. I'm a no-name team. I'm not like the Golden State Warriors. That's already a championship contender Okay, I'm building a team of nobodies, right? So you're not signing but whatever he signed So a little unrealistic in that way, but that's the fun of the simulation games Is that you keep it completely realistic? It's not any fun unless you are playing with Golden State or you are playing with the Lakers or some team Or players always want to go to so it is it is fun being and you know, it's like, oh, well the Bucks have Yanis, right? Yeah, that's sure to track third part of our third-party sure track agent Doesn't yeah, not yet. Yeah. Now if the Bucks, you know, they get to a title this year Yes, that's different or the Eastern Conference Finals. Yeah, like Boston did that's different Then they can attract like a Kyrie or Gordon Hayward because then you feel like oh There's one piece away right right and LeBron could be literally out of the Eastern Conference after this year Yeah, you might run out to the Lakers or wherever it actually right, right? So again, there is a small window if the Bucks somehow do the improbable in leapfrog Boston to the Eastern Conference Finals Right, all of these fucking calves. Yeah, I thought we would have been a good match for the calves last year It sucked it. We were just right a good man. Yeah, yeah, right. Oh, Toronto was not a good match for us We matched up way better with the calves in Toronto, but it'd be nice if we can get to the playoffs with everyone healthy Yeah, yeah, that would always help. I mean, I'm not saying that Jabari Parker would have made much of a difference because he wasn't that good He passed because of because I mean I feel like we made the playoffs because he got hurt because we suddenly got better in defense But we got better on defense because Chris Milton got back so we don't get right I mean Chris Miller and Tony Snell playing together massively improved our defense great, but like our defense would have just been better So now it came off the bench as well. I don't know or or even Parker off the bench scoring a bunch of points Yeah, so it's not just Greg Monroe doing all this Wait But playing starter minutes De facto starter and then you just have time to drill in three years for the hell of it, right? Anyways, but I could tell we love the NBA. That's like that's the thing. I love the NBA Oh, that's what I love these things or be really into them to enjoy sports simulation games So we're going on the autism. We get to summer league the second year around I mean mostly just skim through or like sim through through summer league You know, we don't really care about playing it as again, we're managing our teams and these are mostly players that we don't care about Yeah, we might have new rookies, but whatever It doesn't really matter. They don't get a lot of times those those guys go We're just trying to get basically trying to get to the free agency period or that's after the fancy We're trying to get to the training camp portion. Yeah, where we could choose what players we can upgrade based on how many You know points we get based on our coach and how well our team is done So we try to sim pass some of the Houston Rockets have an injury One we're not controlling the Houston Rockets, right? Right. So so some other team having an injury has zero impact on us Right, we literally do not control them. So Houston Rockets has an injury And they no longer have eight players to Minimum eight players for the summer league roster, please correct. Well, we can't Because we're not the Rockets. We Okay, well, we're not the Rockets. Yeah, so we can't fix this right. We're like, okay, cool we'll go in there and You know because there is a we've this has happened before like there wasn't enough players on a team Happen with me the one year and we made treats. We made trades and because the previous offseason I didn't have enough players. This is what's infuriated about the second time around when we went into I remember I only had five players We would yeah, we went into it and it said you do not have enough players and it said well Phil Phil roster Automatic great. So it'll go off and sign how much the people that are, you know, minimum contract guys, right? So I did that it worked. It worked fine. So I'm like, well, maybe we have that option for the Rockets I guess let's try that Phil roster automatically. No, it doesn't work. Yep, doesn't work. So I'm like, okay. Well Is there any way we can turn off in all we turn off injuries and it doesn't do anything about people who already hurt Yes, so I'm like, okay, so we can't fix the injury and just get them up back on the roster So, okay, is there a way I could just temporarily take over the Houston Rockets? Of course there is. Yeah I mean, I mean it is a You control everything league if you want right, you know, we were only controlling our two teams But if I want to control their teams again, so whatever you're going to take over the Rockets Come I'm gonna say this is a pretty complex book once you're in summer league. You cannot sign any new players, right? So you get an injury in summer league and that's somebody out there knows the way to do it We just have figured it out. I went through everything. I know we did but you when you are in that summer league If you have a player get hurt say you're something that plays injuries on a player gets hurt There is no way to bring another player to your summer league roster. Mm-hmm So you can't take anyone off your current roster. Yep. So oh James Harden. I guess I go play summer league just fill in Mm-hmm. No, you can't do anything You cannot get anyone from your current team and you cannot sign any free agent You can't do anything with your roster. I've got the coach the entire coach thing is blacked out Yeah, yeah, right coach, which is weird because you're weird because Coaching your I want to set up my summer league coach. Yeah Can I set up my summer league? No, no, you can't so Basically the game was broken. Oh, yeah, you could not move past summer league You couldn't fix the roster issue automatically. You couldn't fix it manually. There's nothing you could do about it Mm-hmm your file that we put all this time into second second season in actually we're heading into our third season Yep second off season. We have fully customized you spent a lot of them customizing things that was fun Yeah, and just nope done files done can't do anything about it No one doesn't anything more online. So I assume it's either a new bug or people again just like in Madden I wonder how many people actually play franchise mode to find these bugs, right? Maybe we're one of the few people that likes playing this way. I don't know. Yeah So whatever we start we go back and do it again And this is the part that really peeves me off is that you have to go back through and rebuild everything It's not just like a creative team Portion well, I don't know is if if we see because we were creating the teams through going through the normal setup What if we just went to create a team and not like just like create a player? Okay, maybe is there a creative team? I don't know there's create a player So I'm right, but it's a creative team separate from it We can just load our credit that would be nice and so that's something probably check out, right? But whatever we did at this point in time. We know we're mad at we're mad. I'm mad at Through creating things our jerseys aren't as cool our stadiums aren't as cool Whatever we just want to get back to simulating because reality is we don't know how many years away We are from even getting into the right although. I mean the first time around I went all the way to the championship game somehow with a team of scrubs you know veterans scrubs, but Whatever, I don't know how that happened the Eastern Conference was just bad Yeah, so somehow I got past Boston and the Cavs and yeah Toronto and any other good team in the I Have my best player. I think they have a vodka that you know, I traded him Yeah, I don't even have a box. I had no one over over I think you're Gigi. Gigi ready. I think you're Gigi ready. Yeah, okay. My best players are 78. Thanks. Yep Thanks, and I went to the finals and I took the finals of seven games Yes, you did and then lost but it is what it is. So Whatever so we're having fun the fun the second time around again kind of you know, we get to it kind of sucks because When you start it up again, it's basically exactly what it was before The only way that we could change it up is there is an ability to do an overall I think there was an ability to do an overall fantasy draft like an NFL I've never turned it on so that's always something we do like we do normal normal rosters And then we'll do like a fantasy draft eventually with me aboard with that, but so we're having fun We get to the off-season things are going fine. I have the best off-season. I think I've ever had I literally set up my team completely different so I would have over a hundred million cap space So I got my Kevin Durant. I got my Chris Bosch. I got a bunch of good players Yeah, you got like you had exactly five starters five starters five amazing starters. We're just okay Yeah, but that's just whatever. Yeah, I got Greg Monroe. I got Yeah, Greg Monroe Chris Bosch and Kevin Durant were my my big three Yeah, and then I had two guys that were younger but pretty decent, you know, 76 77 plus at their position So I was really happy you did some finangling your roster didn't change that much But again, you're going youth movement, right? It's what you do, right? So it takes like four years, but you can eventually have all you guys in the 80s and be Dominated be the books So that's fine two different methods to build things we're going my get the summer thing again This time instead of another team having an issue I don't have enough players on my summer league round because I only signed five guys Well, I did go inside some back. Yes, but they were all you know, some of them were older or whatever So there are guys that you put in sour league, but whatever get to know I don't have enough guys for my summer league team. I'm like, okay, cool Well, can I set my summer league roster? No, you cannot Yep, here we are again except this time. It's my fault for not having enough players on my team So I'm like watch I just signed my so they shot his draft rookies every year and just never play him Just so they're on my summer league roster get right now Cut that out But it's just it's really frustrating That it happened again and this time it was my fault for not having enough players and I'm like, right But there's no way that why can't I set my summer league roster, right? I would have sent now like Zaza patchouli or one of my veterans who cares. Yeah, go down there and dominate these scrubs I don't give a crap right So it's it just was very frustrating to have this game breaking bug happen in two different scenarios because the Second time we turned off injuries like so it injuries done We're not gonna risk a computer guy had having an injury not having enough people on the roster No, that was an injury. So it was just I literally haven't I mean it gave me the same error message But it really wasn't that I had an injury. I just didn't have enough people So I'm like I wouldn't and that might have been true for Houston Maybe they didn't have really an injury. That's just the only error message the game has when you don't have well Yeah, considering we didn't even see an injury and I don't have it and we knew for specifically for our teams At least you could not get injured. Yeah. So like there's no way to get injured, right? So since there's no way to get injured in the game and obviously wasn't an injury But that's just the only error message they have when you only have seven people right. I'm like, this is just so infuriating and It made me realize and I was thinking about this last night as I've fallen asleep. I'm like, you know what I Just think NBA 2k 18 with all of the issues I've had with it on switch and apparently all these I don't know if this happens. Maybe this doesn't happen on the other versions. I don't know but I think it'd be a 2k 18 is just the boggiest NBA game I've played Yeah, I mean, I actually want to try out and be a live 18 now and see if these bugs are there or Their own game-breaking bugs because if they don't exist then I'm almost ready to be done with 2k basketball games This is how frustrating it is great And I'm gonna go complain and I'm gonna go submit it to support and pray to God they patch it They probably won't no problem. Just like Madden. They don't care. They already got my money. Yep And this is this before we get into the fact that NBA 2k 18 now If you didn't think it was the worst NBA game because of or the worst 2k NBA game because of the bugs or the Framerate drops and all this stuff They took a lot of the game and turned it into a micro transaction city worse than they've ever done before You play my career mode you might as well just stop even if it works perfectly just stop You have to spend like seven grand to get to a 99 Like it's just not worth it. So it's very frustrating Because they catch you in that catch 22 you can earn your VC for free But to earn your VC for free you have to play the games with your my creative player And you have to do really really really really well in the games But you can't do really really well in teams because your player starts off as a 60 overall Not even a 70 a 60 overall So you're just like one of the worst players in the NBA who's even getting a touch of a playing time And you're only getting like a minute a game because you suck and you shouldn't be playing right So you're barely playing as is and then you're supposed to be impressive in there You can't make any shots. You can't make any dunks You can pass if the guy is completely wide open But then you might throw it over his head because you suck you suck you can't play defense You can't do anything you suck so gotta spend money so you can get VC so you can become good I'm sure there's eventually a happy medium you get up to an 85 Maybe now you're making enough VC But here's the thing if you're doing it all without spending any money because they always say you never have to buy VC you can get to a 99 without doing it. I actually call bullshit on that. Yeah, because As you're playing in the my career mode as I've been finding out you're progressing through these games and Your player gets older every season So if I'm sucking and I'm sucking and I'm continuing to suck and I slowly Creep my way up to a 70. I'm like 30 years old by the time I hit a 70 No, yeah, right. No, I don't care if you're the best 2k player in the world There are players that could probably perform better and I do is in all the controls better. That's fine. I'm sorry You're a 60. You're not getting all the way to the end without spending money. Mm-hmm So road to 99. It's more like road to eating up my yearly salary And then what makes me mad about it? It's not so much that it has micro transactions I mean Madden has micro transactions, right? Yeah in Madden ultimate team But they reward you a lot like they give you free players like every you know every day or every week just walking into it So you can get like a free Ray Lewis or free. Yeah, right? Great. Um Like they keep it competitive and when you play if your team isn't super super good They just keep you playing against teams that are as good as your team, right? Right, so like and that's just building a team. So it's different and NBA 2k has that as well And that doesn't seem too bad, but the fact that it's littered in my career mode. So this is a single player mode That's ridiculous So Anyways, bottom line NBA 2k 18. I'm not gonna apologize for crapping on it anymore. Yeah, I'm sorry I want to love it. It has so much in that I want to love right right. They just screw me over every time I started to enjoy the game that yeah, I was Disappointing very very disappointing So we're gonna transition quickly into something Reggie said and That's because I don't want to I don't even want to play NBA 2k 18. Do you guys see NBA 2k 18 footage on our channel moving forward? It's probably old footage because I don't play anymore. Well, the only thing I could ever think of to play it again is to get that Bug caught on film to send in to them saying hey look this is what's happened. No, no, here's I'll start Everything or that's the key then you key is you just recording everything. Yeah, they know you're watching yes, and then They're probably watching you and then you're pushing across small fixes You got to wear tinfoil hats, man. That's happening. That's happening. I'm like oh time to end the video Do not just hit start and I went
