 To Agent Nation, it's your host, Agent Beemstar. Let's get right into the news. Hey, I did not expect to make one news so quickly, man, but the drama has piled up to an extent at which I can no longer ignore it. I don't know what everybody, I don't know why y'all been getting so active recently, but I guess that means I still have a job. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the one and only authorized news reporter, Agent Beemstar in the building. Letting you know that I just made an appearance on my other channel. Yeah, I was breaking down all the money I spent from all the drama that everybody gets into on my vehicles. Broke it down in fine detail, ladies and gentlemen, so make sure to go ahead and check that video out. Link is in the description right here. Well, no, it's obviously underneath the video, goes without saying, descriptions can't be in the middle of the video player. That wouldn't make any sense. We also did drop an AMP Top Chef video where a young agent was there cooking it up like this one time. Probably one of the funniest videos I've ever had an opportunity to work on. Link is in the description. Let's get into it, ladies and gentlemen, for our first story of the day, ladies and gentlemen. Oh man, right as I got to uploading the last 2K Drama Alert, some more juicy drama went down. This time I wanted to see how it played out, ladies and gentlemen. So here I was at my crib, you know, just screenshotting away, making sure I got all the details because I knew it was gonna be deleted. And ladies and gentlemen, I was correct. The tweets were deleted, but AgentBeamStar has captured the details. So let's get into it. Joe Knows was furious. He said this on Twitter, everyone's free to do what they want. I don't own any type of video, but at this point, man, it's hella weird. I don't do internet drama, so I ain't making a big deal about it. But make your own content, please badge plug. You got over 500K subs you don't need to copy content. Good luck. And he linked the screenshot here of badge plug thumbnail and title from 21 Minutes ago, and Joe Knows thumbnail and title from nine months ago. Of course, AgentBeamStar's heard about this drama offer, died, didn't reply real quick, with the oh so infamous AgentBeamStar as closely monitoring the situation. And yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, I was. Badge plug responded saying, man, I really don't understand you. You're so successful and worried about me. Any other community, people do exact copies of videos and no one cares. Also, you could have easily DM me, and on top of everything, it doesn't affect you at all. As I said, I ain't going back and forth. I don't do drama. Good luck in the future. Pray your hands emoji. Bro, but the crazy thing is, we talking to DMs, yet you have to go public about something for what? Literally 90% of your videos are NBA player videos, which you even said yourself you didn't create. Crazy, bro, but it's all good. Attack me and feel better about yourself. Ooh, is it getting juicy, ladies and gentlemen? The answer is yes. It is getting juicy. Hey, badge plug, there's a very big difference between having a similar video or seeing something from another game and picking that up and then linking people in the description, asking for permission, and just blatantly taking entire titles and thumbnails. That's like on the very extreme. It's not like a yes or no, there's a scale. And right now, you're on one very far end. Joe knows just letting you know that you're doing that. That's all. Joe knows, quote, tweeted saying, exit dimensions in the next five seconds. I would not risk it. Hell, I'm in here. Oh, it's cool, bro. You've always disliked me even before any of this. Just don't understand how you're so successful and worried about me, a grown man. Power decided, hey, it's not a 2K drama unless I get involved. And he replied saying this, the most hilarious part is how he's playing victim and acting like he doesn't know this is wrong. Isn't just, he made a similar video. This is, he's copying and pasting the title and telling the designer to make the exact same thumbnail. He knows what he's doing. Oh my God, there's another example of that. Oh, Lee, oh my God. Wow, verbatim, that's unbelievable. A.M.P. Duke was in dimensions, responded to the original tweet from Joe knows saying, LMAO changed 99 to legend in 2K19 to 2K20 with a whole gang of crying laughing emojis with this video. Hey yo, what the? That's a classic. It's a classic, ladies and gentlemen. Grinding responded to both Joe knows and badge plug saying, I've been waiting for the day I could tag beam star on something that has nothing to do with me. Agent, get on it, buddy. He was a deleted tweet that Salty the goat was able to capture. Don't understand why everybody can't eat. You never see me talking about another man on this app. And that's when the conversation died down from all the different content creators. And I hope at this point, badge plug you understand why they came at you. It's not that they hate you or they don't like you as a person. It's the fact that it's not like something benign. Like you just, you know, you saw a title you like and you were like, oh, maybe I could do my own version of that. You didn't, you know, you took it verbatim. And you're not the only person who's done that. There's plenty of content creators who do things like that. They just don't get called out by Joe knows on Twitter. Yeah, at no point did Joe knows say, like this is my idea, nobody can do it. He was just arguing, why are you copying everything I'm doing? That's, that's all he's saying. Like, why, why did you do everything the exact way I did it? Like, could he, could you have not done it your own way? Is what he's asking you. And I think that's a very valid question at the end of the day for our, oh my God. Why does Darren Fox keep taking shots at NBA 2K? He didn't have enough of it, ladies and gentlemen. This happened on Twitter the other day. Hoop Central put out this post saying NBA 2K21 will be a major visual improvement than any game before. Now, I'm not going to lie to you. I don't think anyone bothered to read the article. We just read the title and immediately made conclusions. And one of the people who made those conclusions is Darren Fox, who quote tweeted that tweet from Hoop Central saying, crying, laughing emojis. This is what they think everyone wants improved. Skull emoji. Yeah, I'm telling you right now, Darren Fox is a full-fledged 2K player. I know it, I know it in my heart because that's what I thought the moment I saw this. But I haven't even clicked yet, but if I click this article, hopefully I'm not going to get hacked or something. Boom, it is a real article. It's exactly what I predicted. They don't actually have any kind of insider information to reach this conclusion. They just wanted to write an article and came to the realization that next gen is going to have better hardware, so 2K is going to have better graphics. This is obvious. Most games are going to have better graphics with better hardware, except Valorant. That joke hit with like 15% of the people watching. So this is not like 2K came out and said they're going to focus on graphics. It was just an article that someone decided to write. And it's probably true. Graphics probably would get better. But the reason I know Darren Fox is a full-fledged 2K player is because I wanted to hate immediately too. And I know how this game has played pre-launch. I knew they didn't really have any facts that we didn't have, but immediately I was like, how is that to focus? I even replied. No, I did that. Maybe if they make the graphics get better. Am I special? What the hell is wrong with me? I can't write today? Maybe if the graphics get better. Oh, I can't read. Oh my God, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe if the graphics get better, I won't be able to notice the next time I lag out. Pleximo G. I'm a funny guy and even know I said that. So bridging off of that, ladies and gentlemen, Ronnie 2K put together this NBA 2K tournament on ESPN. It was in, obviously you guys probably know, like a whole bunch of NBA players like Kevin Durant, et cetera, et cetera were participating in this tournament. And I'm not gonna lie to you, the result wasn't as gas as I was expecting it to be. Cause then like Fox was tweeting about it, saying a 16 team NBA 2K turning with top NBA players is happening. And I'm like, oh snap, oh snap. I have to tune into this. It was even top trending on Twitter. And Ronnie 2K was top trending. But I think this is the same time he was calling to Marcus Cousins a dickhead. That's why Ronnie was trending. But the NBA 2K turning was trending as well. And there was a few interesting moments because while the games are going on, the players were talking, one of them landed on Twitter. Here is a Devon Booker. Ladies and gentlemen, because NBA 2K has messed my player up, MPG asked Devon Booker if he wanted to pick the suns in the NBA 2K turning. You should have just picked the suns. I'll pick the nuggets. No. That was it. That was the whole clip. Not gonna lie. I thought it was gonna be more than that. I guess it's just Devon Booker clarifying here. It's because NBA 2K has his player messed up, which is true. For some reason, the greatest shooters in the game, like Clay Thompson, Steph Curry, Steph Curry's release, that's pretty good. They gave him the slowest and most ugliest releases. It's not nothing like how they shoot in real life. It's a shame. I guess it's in the name of balance, but it also ruins the players too. I know that because I've been playing all set team up. What a tragedy. Yeah, so the tournament went on and I'm not gonna lie to you. After the first game, I stopped watching. I found out that it was prerecorded and I was like, so it's not live? Esports? What's going on, guys? I don't know, man. It just, it wasn't as gas. It wasn't like, they weren't even, the players wasn't even into it like that. They was just kicking back on something. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, yo, bring some energy, man. But at the same time, NBA 2K League was doing some 3V3 park tournament and that was actually entertaining. So I decided to watch that instead. Ladies and drama. Whoa, what the hell is going on with me today? Ladies and gentlemen, for the next story of the day, there's some drama between once teammates now fold, power and chalk. Power, in a now deleted tweet, decided to post a video of chalk losing in the NBA 2K League 3V3 park tournament. It was a funny video where chalk rage quit and power captioned it very funnily and basically posted it on Twitter because that's what power does. And chalk was furious about the situation. He replied on Twitter. Oh yeah, by the way, power's tweeted deleted. So am I bad on that? You actually can't screenshot videos. So I couldn't do that. But hey, chalk replied to the tweet saying, of course power is still tweeting about me, still keeping tabs on everything I do, still praying on my downfall as always. We're a genuine guy. He followed up saying, mind you, bro, I never bashed DF, never made a why I left video for clout, never disrespected dude. Bought a website for DF, was pushing for us to get sponsors. Literally never did him dirty in any way. Yet I'm blocked and he's watching my every move. Genuinely don't get it. I was really, really hoping this turned into a full-fledged drama. It did not, ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, this is where it ended. For the story of the day. There was a patch, patch 11, ladies and gentlemen, NBA 2K drop patch 11 and everybody felt bamboozled by it. Absolute radio silence from the developers and out of nowhere patch 11 drops. What's in the patch agent? We didn't know for a full day the patch was out. They ain't bothered to disclose what was in it. And I hate when that happens because it's like, what if you just installed a virus onto my PS4? I would like to at least know about it beforehand. And it got to the point because it was no patch notes released that people were just meming the fact that we didn't know about it though, it was just a meme. There was a article here from games guide NBA 2K 20 update patch 11 and in the notes is just one notes improve the stability of the title in addition to a number of general improvements to the user experience. Even if you are disappointed for now, unfortunately, there are no further details. So they just like wrote the most generic thing. And there was actually a couple of people. Okay, here it is. Updatecrazy.com dropped their own version of the patch notes included some added fixed crashing issues, address stuttering lag issues along with a few other things like added a few glitches. Gotta love that. It's not an NBA 2K patch unless you add some glitches into the game. So amongst some of the things that people reported seeing changed because we didn't get patch notes that full day, people were saying that there was like a buff to the behind the back. Obviously it was one of the animations that was nerfed. Some people are calling it placebo, but others are saying they felt like that move was more effective post patch. Immediately though, after the patch drop, there were people complaining about their jump shot not hitting. Obviously it's the problem 2K has had for a while where Mike Wang is saying we aren't addressing jump we're not patching jump shots, but in the changes that they make, inevitably some jump shots are altered. The windows look different or the release feels different. Like just go back to base eight or set shot 13 and see how they feel this year compared to when 17 or 18 or 19. They feel completely different and I don't think they went back there and redid the animations. Something just changed in the game played the way the game moves and the jump shot feels nothing the same no more. Doesn't hit the same. It's slow now. It's clunky. It just don't feel smooth no more. Eventually though, NBA 2K20 Twitter did drop the patch notes after like over a full day where they really didn't address much of anything. It was a few my team fixes and they fixed the case where my players were unable to catch L.U.P.s even though they were capable of that which is disappointing considering we know what needs to be fixed in the game and none of those are here in the notes. But things did start to get juicy soon thereafter because for the next story of the day for the first time since like December we finally heard something from a NBA 2K dev. Mike Wang responded to the NBA 2K players tournament Twitter with his own bracket and someone responded to Mike Wang saying where have you been? Mike Wang responded with a SpongeBob meme doing like 60 different chores at once, 2K21. Ladies and gentlemen, there it is. The silence has broken. And I feel like the only reason it broke was because I'm pretty sure 2K came to Mike Wang and was like, hey, make a tweet about the players tournament. And so he had to make the tweet. And so he's like, hey, since I'm here might as well reply to this guy who's wondering if I'm still alive, where have you been at Mike? Jesus man, we care about you. But then things got even juicer because Zach Timmerman, a gameplay developer, I believe right, doesn't specify in his bio. Let's just say gameplay developer for NBA 2K put out a tweet saying this, pull redo thoughts on shooting badges in NBA 2K20. 2OP toned them down just right, not effective enough. And probably the best response I seen was from young precise, who said, remove pointless badges, plus make them easier to get, make the rating matter more. All things I agree on. So it seems as though they're getting things ready or they're ready to try and make some adjustments for next game, but here's a plea that I'm gonna make real quick, ladies and gentlemen. It don't ruin the fun of the game in the name of balance. If there's an animation that's really OP, then yeah, nerf it. But if there's an animation that's just effective, then try and find a way to create more effective animations instead of stifling the few ones there are, because then the game just feels slow and there's no way to really excel. That's all I'm gonna say on that, because I feel like over the years in the name of balance, we've kind of just taken out the speed of the game. I remember hopping in the park on 2K15 and being petrified, because people was just zooming this way and that way. So it made me wanna get good at playing that mode. Now if you hop into the park, everyone's running mad scared trying to find the next rookie to play. And even when they do, they're just doing the same zigzag, the same cross here across their drive, and they're not boosting it. There's no skill involved in it. So that's just a plea that I make. Obviously I've released my own kind of wish list video. I'ma leave the link in the card above and in the description if you guys are interested in watching that. Oh, Mike Wang decided to put out another poll on Twitter. He said, for those who shoot jump shots with a pro stick, do you hold the R stick up or down? Now anybody who holds the right stick up is a psychopath. Get them out of here, guys. We need to send them to a ward somewhere. Everybody presses it down and that goes without saying. So let's just click down. Oh, only use shot button was an option. I even booked that. Yeah, I use a shot button as well. But in 17, do you guys remember in 2K17 when they gave you a huge boost for using the right stick and hitting it accurately? Boo, everybody was using that until they patched it. I'm actually really surprised that 30% of people use the right stick. I'm very, very thoroughly surprised. I don't think that's a real number. I think the real number is like 10%. Ladies and gentlemen, that is it for the news. If you guys are new, subscribe to the channel. We do this like every couple of weeks when some juicy drama drops in the NBA 2K community. There's this video on the screen, Agent Beamstar on my other channel breaking down my different vehicles. So you guys get a closer look at that. And I'm gonna leave you guys now. Bye.
