 2k are y'all confused y'all are making me confused now. I don't know what is going on I'm hearing so much misinformation left and right. I'm clueless. We're all technically clueless. Hey, man Welcome to the channel guys agents are here. Hi. We upload daily on this channel At least for the time being until I inevitably burn out subscribe to the channel if you want to see that happen I'll inevitably go on Twitter and talk about my Misinfortunes and all the troubles in my life and all the struggles I've been going through as if I'm not living it up anyway Hey, man, if y'all knew to the channel you haven't already be sure to subscribe. Uh-uh, so let's get into it Hey, so the game dropped and it was incredibly difficult to shoot Yes, one reason was because no one had their badges. No one had their attributes No one had really anything hot spots nothing So we're kind of just waiting for not only people to test but for NBA 2k lab to test We don't know much but here's what we do know NBA 2k lab did their tests on hot zones And this is the graph they came up with this year hot zones are more important than they were in previous years That's shown here objectively, but it's also shown in my gameplay. Yeah The second I got hot zones is big when I became consistent shooting the basketball. It was automatic So if there's one thing you want to do to help your shot, it would be to get hot zones Okay, that's new information some more new information as NBA 2k lab was doing their tests on their jump shots They put out this tweet saying we decided to pivot from testing at a 75 3.2 at 80 because the script wasn't finding green windows at 75 The percentages were also very low 20 to 30 percent total make rate this of course without badges hot zones boost with those things applied You probably be able to shoot better. So when Mike Wang said if you're hitting shots with a sub par three-point shot I'm a patch it. He might not have been playing fellas. So we know a couple days into the game's launch They dropped this hot fix to change the shooting sliders on lower difficulties on my team and on my career It wasn't supposed to affect pro-am and park. That's what we were told a few days after that update went live Everybody began to notice a lot of differences on park and pro-am now It's very possible that part of those were the fact that people was just getting their badges now People were getting acclimated to the new shooting system now True everyone's gonna start hitting more shots as they get used to all the new things that were introduced true But it doesn't take a goddamn brain surgeon to figure out that shots were just dropping easier It went from no whites hitting to a lot of whites was hitting there was a video I was recording yesterday for four hours And it flopped but so the footage never gonna come out But basically what happened was I was shooting with the right stick and just whites and whites and whites and so many whites guys And it was dropping the shot timing would be late And the shot aiming would be wide left and it would drop the fact that it would drop is preposterous Ticino was a little bit frustrated. He put out this tweet saying hey, Beluba nearly every white release goes in once You have shooting badges on NBA 2k 21 Please fix this ASAP by requiring you to green open shots. Otherwise it makes shooting almost 100% luck base Thank you kindly power put out a tweet saying shot aiming was supposed to add a skills gap But it really just allowed people to make whites every single possession and the whites were especially tragic on fades Oh, everybody I've talked to was like man You could just fade and as long as you're open and it's kind of near it drops So a lot of people were kind of just sending their frustration out into the world the dev saw it and then Information release that the next day we were gonna see an update now We weren't exactly told everything that was gonna be in the update But we had a few different clues based on what some of the developers were saying on Twitter goes as follows NBA 2k Intel put out this tweet saying all whites going in will be fixed in the next patch and is DMs with Ronnie By the way, I hate when people do this. I hate when people post DMs This is the word to me right here fellas stop doing this But you know for the purpose of this video here it does help us out So let's see Ronnie, please there are way too many whites going in with the fades Please fix this game and issue in the parking department everything ankle breakers. Don't work in this game. Please fix He said fix in the next patch. Thank you Now I can't verify the legitimacy of this DM because you could always just inspect element if you're on Google Chrome But for the purposes of it being very broken, let's assume it's real I things began to get really real because Mitchell who also works for 2k put out a similar tweet saying hey Ronnie Is there something you'd like to tell people that's happening tomorrow and he used this very cringy I guess any Ronnie meme technically is very cringy. This one especially though And and and so you know if I had to sit here and rate it though It'd be a one out of ten because it's a Ronnie meme guys There's no way it gets over one out of ten as besides the point does for a different video and LD 2k Responded to want to shake down concerns on Twitter by answering ankle breakers will be addressed in the next patch I'm told keep that look going though. Oh, and it's this look. Yeah, he looked like a psychopath So Alright man ankle breakers is gonna be buffed most definitely because nobody's getting ankle breakers and on top of that Hopefully fades and all the whites is dropping is gonna be nerfed as well because originally none of the modes like the park And the program was supposed to be changed from all the shooting sliders that they changed in the hot fix So then we waited the next day came and then no update came guys and usually 2k drops patches at 11 Eastern 11 a.m. Eastern time right not always but usually when they have news or something That's like the time they used to drop that so when I didn't see anything happened at 11 a.m. Eastern I kind of just waited maybe it was a hot fix and not a patch because a couple of these devs said patch So I was expecting to have to download something and yo it didn't come guys I don't know where this supposed patch and update is I desperately need it man I'm tired of every Shot maker just fading in every imaginable direction They won't even have to time the shots man. They just hit him people began to though discover some more stuff about shooting because there have been some Badges that were significantly nerfed and some bags that were significantly buff come mba 2k 21 and Unfortunately one of the badges that doesn't even belong in the game got a huge buff And it's one that I experienced is one that plenty of people told me to equip because I refuse to equip it in previous years And it's flexible release Dnell on Twitter put out this tweet saying y'all might laugh But I heard flexible release is actually a good badge this year and I heard this from a plentious amount of people You see I've been working on my vocab even Mitchell responded saying I've seen it pop up more this year in one week And then I did all on 2k 20. I'm pretty sure I'm only using it on bronze if I get it to Hall of Fame I'm certain I'll be I'll be able to make it from the actual beach Hey, so last year if you guys remember mba 2k lab did their test and they found out that flexible release was an All-right badge even when you max out at Hall of Fame It might only improve your odds by about 8% 10% and so it's not worth spending four badges on just time your shot It was pretty easy to shoot an mba 2k 20 and as a person that has a pierce sharp shooter with 30 shooting badges It doesn't even make sense for me to not have flexible release on is between flexible release and hot start and one is clearly better So if you guys remember a few days ago I dropped the video and knew one of the tweets I was outlining some of the concerns that the my gm Community had and they were frustrated by the whole roster situation There was a whole lot of inconsistencies in the 2k roster king of the fourth quarter put out a tweet saying that the 2k roster team Was looking to address it if you guys had any concerns reach out to him and people did but this is why I'm saying That there's some miscommunication y'all don't talk to each other over at 2k What's going on man Ronnie 2k put out this tweet and it is a photo of some of the Inconsistencies mm-hmm with the 2k roster y'all is having a 84 higher mid-range than Kawai's 81 Okay, these are all things that we knew apparently 2k already updated these things But Ronnie put out a tweet saying who's putting up this fake news law literally nothing about this is true So then I stopped for a moment and I was like hmm What are the odds that the person that put out that tweet a huge and passionate my league my GM supporter was just really capping What are the odds that click was capping and the king of the fourth quarter was capping and that the whole community was just capping and Ronnie was One-telling the truth Pretty low right I came to the conclusion that Ronnie is just wildly Misinformed because he probably went to double check some of these things and was like no these are fine because they actually updated them And that's what everyone said in the responses freak responded to Ronnie saying we lie and just 66 mid-range Here's Yannis is 84 Ronnie and we have over a hundred feels like that in this game And he literally took a screenshot of what it was in the past. He went into his attributes or whatever wait Well, this is Jimmy Butler Stop lie you corrected Leonard, but Yannis is certainly not at 84 and a 73 shooter should be 64 and 63 not more and he shows an example here if his attributes Etc. Etc. Is it that hard to believe that in a pandemic in a console jump year a lot's going on NBA 2k cut a lot of corners The NBA 2k 21 on current gen because they really trying to get NBA 2k 21 on next gen looking right and the one mode They didn't give a single about was this one that seems very reasonable to me That's exactly what happened actually so Ronnie when they come with a very reasonable request considering that they had zero Improvement to their game mode all they're asking for is an update to make sure tendencies attributes in the batch is looking Right, it's not that hard. It's actually not hard at all. Especially when they're doing the work for you They're telling you what the inconsistencies are it's not okay for you to just put out a tweet calling everyone cat Ron Ron you've been capping so consistently here on this platform for so long No, and he doubled down on it in his reply by the way Curry's block is a 50 LeBron 64 Yannis mid is 84 Why is it 91 Duncan Robinson's a 92 three-pointer behind only Stefan clay and then someone responding ha ha ha you just Changed that today. What a joke. You see this. Wow. He really tried to lie. I just checked all this shit earlier today. Wow I love the 2k community man Someone also responded to Ronnie with a very legitimate question of explain this one to us Ronnie And it's a photo in the in the 2k beach of this interesting truck of lunch lady sloppy time now They had to have been one horny developer on the art team. That's all I'm saying Cuz y'all could have put anything on that truck and you knew what people were gonna think if you put sloppy time on that goddamn truck Man, listen Ron Ron or whoever's on the art team really I need to know who's responsible for this cuz this is hilarious material This is like that one time. I think it was in 2k 17 where they did that thing to troll LSK after he got banned Yes, more of this, please I really do believe that they should be adding some kind of like jam or secrets or Easter eggs into the neighborhood like do something Spice it up somehow besides the point though. If you've been distraught Oh my god, you can't figure out a way to shoot the shooting There's so many changes to shooting this year NBA 2k 21 Well Mike Wang came with the save ladies and gentlemen because instead of doing the update that was supposed to happen yesterday We got this video from the 2k Twitter account saying shooting tips from Mike Wang to help you get on your grind this weekend Pray your hands emoji, which is wrong emoji to use but we'll forgive you guys probably need a social media I need you guys to forgive me off rip You know as I put up these headphones. They are broken Welcome back to expert tips. I'm Mike Wang gameplay director for NBA holding the shot button and releasing at the peak of your jump But for 2k 21 we're introducing a new way to shoot with a pro stick that we call shot stick aiming For jump shots move and hold the pro stick. All right, Mike. We know this. You actually said this does a lot of times Now when you're shooting with the pro stick, you won't be penalized for poorly timing your release Huh, you can even keep the stick held until the ball hits the rim if you want But if you want to become a great shooter, wait, I must have missed her what he just said your release Pro stick you won't be penalized for poorly timing your release Mike, why did you say that you don't mean that right Mike? Why would you not be? Why would you not be penalized for a bad timing? What's going on here? I must have missed her or something though Mike That's not what you said out your mouth You can even keep the stick held until the ball hits the rim if you want But if you want to become a great shooter and know the timing of your signature jumper You can lock in your timing and aim by either centering the pro stick or by tapping one of the triggers at the right moment If you can time and aim your shots well, you'll see much more success shooting the ball I have a real Discrepancy here. What's going on guys? I know it's a small thing But if you're gonna talk about hitting a perfect jump shot Why the fuck was the goddamn footage in the background a miss like moment? It was just a bad release time and aim your shots well if you time and aim your shots Well as Damian Lillard clearly does here as he misses the entire goddamn window Then you'll be just fine. You'll see much more success shooting the ball The aiming concept also applies when finishing layups You can still hold the pro stick in any direction to start a layup But just like jump shots you'll want to quickly adjust the aim marker to hit the center of the target You have to be quick But if you master it you'll have great touch around the rim and be able to finish tough shots. Yep Yeah, we get it Mike. That's how you use the shot stick. There you go guys You've been enlightened in case you've been struggling out there this two-minute infomercial from Mike Wang is breaking it down for you I do like the idea of what they're attempting and I genuinely believe that the only reason they're doing what they're doing right now on Current gen is so that they get it right for next gen. I believe that to be the case guys It's gonna be the same system on next year when it comes to finishing and shooting. I'm telling you Mike Wang Elaborated further he put a quote to each of that tweet from NBA 2k saying there's a tip about the ideal aim point skewing left to right Based on how fast you initially throw the pro stick that functionality isn't in yet But we passion very soon gives more control to the player stay tuned. Oh, so this is absolutely a beta test for next gen It's just confirmed guys. I was saying in a moment ago But now I 100% believe it to be the case and I'm all for it guys I don't really care I like the system as long as it's balanced and it doesn't give so much of a boost that it makes no sense Because right now when you use the right stick really your timing doesn't matter at all like at all guys As long as you aim it correctly, which isn't hard your timing doesn't matter at all What's hard to do is aim and time it properly I feel like there'd be a skills gap to that if it was implemented properly and balance I'll say this the most difficult thing about NBA 2k though is when you're game testing it first of all You have to be incredible at the game and I feel like the game test is a dog But that's besides the point you also have to keep in mind that depending on attributes badges like the height of the player The archetype the takeover there's so many different factors that can take a build its balance and make it OP or make it ass So it is inherently difficult to test every Faction of this game to make sure the game is balanced. This is a very difficult game to balance I understand that which is why I'm hoping that you know I'm saying might way and don't do too much disco tech with it You know I'm saying don't ruin the game for everybody out there But just do enough so that the game makes sense have a good little you know in between here's balance Here's fun find the middle right here That's really all your job is and I also believe guys that Mike Wang has nothing to do with Current gen. I just believe the only reason he's getting involved here is because he has to do with next gen And this system is also going to be a next gen. Hey, I mean it's UK So first things first you feel me a apologize to the my league my jam guys. They're struggling out there They're distraught about the fact that their game mode somehow got worse on an upgraded year You feel me like that's not usually how things supposed to work things usually supposed to move in the direction of progress Second thing that update that we talked about is supposed to drop yesterday We don't know where it is so if at any point we can get updated about the update in the patch We'd appreciate that I'm assuming what happened was Sony or Microsoft had to like hold it back Because you know like you have to approve a patch and there's a process to that thing You feel me and the game's only been out for about a week So I'm assuming that's what went wrong, but I could be wrong about that too and last but not least I need an explanation for that truck in the neighborhood man I really do for me at least standing shoes standing shots. Yeah for a pure sharp too many whites going I wish it was more greens. I wish just a little bit especially on prime I've been on 3v3 prime more than anything, but hey man for what it's worth. I barely played 2k 20 I'm genuinely having a decent time on 2k 21. I haven't been on the neighborhood though I've really been playing 3v3 prime. I don't know if I should be concerned about that or not But I've heard the servers on the park have been absolute garbanzo So I refuse to put myself through that type of mental misery Especially knowing that there's a good experience on 3v3 prime where I don't have to do that Well, that's it for the videos guys.
