 All right, there was a fair bit of news that dropped and since the lack of transparency makes it difficult to kind of keep up I got y'all. I'm gonna keep it all informed. All right. Listen up before we get started on the video link is in the description I know some y'all have been waking up like I just don't know there's something missing in my day It's my Instagram account, which I finally yo pasta. I made my Instagram account So I know y'all want to follow that yo it's in the description. I know y'all want to see these beautiful Last photos of me. I know y'all want to see the way v snapchat stories on Instagram I also made a new snapchat links in the description. I'm also on twitch So if you haven't been following me, I'm streaming the sas and screed. I'm on I want to some big stuff, bro So y'all gonna wanna my guy. Are you photo bombing me? Hey links to all that is in the description. Click it You clicked it. All right, we can move on. Actually, we're not click it I know half y'all didn't click that y'all better have clicked it. All right now. Let's move on We leave You hurt me And I also have a twitch I'm gonna be streaming some assassin's creed cuz you know that drops at midnight I'm gas if y'all want to follow those jeans links in the description. All right, okay So this what happens so for those who don't know NBA 2k and the NBA working together on an e-sports leave listen This gets me gas. All right. Y'all know I'm all about the comp. I like to I watch e-sports on games I don't even play. Why do I watch overwatch e-sports asking me? I don't have an answer for that question. Listen I've been watching a lot of rainbow. I love watching color duty e-sports Oh, I haven't played color duty since black ops too, but still I enjoy it So when 2k said they're dropping the e-sports league, I said, oh, what's up, man? and an article dropped really discussing it in some detail and There was some notes that really got me interested. All right. Check this So a question was asked will we be seeing any spectator features added to NBA 2k 18 to help with e-sports viewing? Very real question if you guys ever watched NBA 2k and they showed program They have custom camera angles just like you can do on my career and you can go in there They have that they just don't allow us to use him, but they have access to those So there's obviously a version of program that we already don't have but the reply was very interesting because they said We should be clear This is not gonna be the retail version of the game 2k is working on developing the mode that we're gonna be playing it So one that means there's a team that's helping develop an entirely new program That's fit for e-sports, which is like a sigh of relief because if you think about it Prime is not even remotely close to being an e-sports mode the way it is right now not even you can't practice privately with your friends You can't run up against AI you can't play call if I call zone and I'm a sharpshooter at shooting guard I want to play the corner because I'm a sharpshooter with weak defense I rather have a small forward play the top you can't switch zone assignments Like it's some basic stuff that in competitive atmosphere is you should be able to have but 2k doesn't have yet And so for those reasons I was like I'm I really want this thing to pop off But the way it is now like as optimistic as I want to be Realistically, it's not and you know any first year with e-sports is gonna be tough Like 2k was gloating at the end of this article. They said some look Here's what they said when we did our road to the all-star in New Orleans We have 500,000 competitors and 100,000 teams competing in the tournament The finals of those tournaments had 2 million views and like you know, they're kind of like inflating their numbers Did they have 100,000 teams competing? I mean, what is that competing like they probably like three guys got together on a program tried at one time And they're like that's a team that's a team So it wasn't as competitive as they're making a scene There was probably like a group of a hundred that even really had a real shot But the number that perplexed me was the finals of those tournaments had 2 million views like I watched the tournament It had 5k live viewers right afterwards It probably got some more views, but 5k live viewers for the finals And I know it's their first year so they kind of get a pass when it comes to that But most of the and maybe not most but a big chunk of the people watching were just my team viewers Who wanted to get those free locker codes that 2k promise throughout the stream And so I guess it's smart they could talk about how high their numbers were because they did every trick in the book to Try and get people to watch it. They promoted it in game But let's not pretend like this is a 100% success rate on this league There's a lot of hurdles that you can see them having there's not a massive skills gap If you watch any fighter and you play fighters, how do they block how do you block throws? You have to react within one in a 20th of a second to block the throw like I watch JDCR play on Tekken I'm like geez Insane amount of skill, but I know that you can say the same about 2k and that's one hurdle It doesn't have that large of a skills gap. There's a lot of randomness involved the percentages the way they are I assume they're gonna be adjusted for eSports, but in the off chance. They're not that's gonna be an issue But 2 million views 2k come on I don't know maybe through all the platforms if you times it by 10 they maybe would have got 1 million But that's not from what I seen Maybe they streamed it on Facebook. I don't know how the Facebook stream did I can't imagine people watching eSports on Facebook though. There was another big that perplexed me as we build the league We're 100% focused on it being community driven and community first now Come on 2k Come on. Come on. Do we do we are we gonna trust? I Want to you know every every developer says this only a handful them really mean it I'm gonna remain optimistic Because I can't see the most the chances like yo, and when the sponsors are involved when money is involved, you know 2k is gonna put in work, right? Yo 2k knows if this pops up they're making bank, you know 2k is gonna pull out all the stops At least I hope so so listen up patch for Drop and it fix a bunch of stuff some of which they still haven't talked about like if it squad and vice They didn't talk about that But it broke being able to join your friends Park if I join my friends Park and click join Park It throws me through an entirely different playground. So 2k, please for the sake of all of us make a patch patch 5 They said they're gonna pass zigzag cheese. They did there was a whole load of stuff that they said there was gonna be addressing Apparently the East Coast West Coast issue is fixed in prime So it finally seems like a month and a bit after the launch of the game Everything is kind of coming together and hopefully after we iron out some issues like the custom shoe glitch There's a closet glitch on top of that people have to pay VC for a custom shirt that they made Why like they also said that in the patch if you sign with Jordan, you don't have to buy Jordan shoes anymore you You get those for free. Yo, but real quick. We need to do this shout out to my guy JR Smith, bro Listen, the devs rarely respond to us, right? I know some y'all think I have a plug right agent zero just knows the developers. They don't respond to me All right, I rarely get them to respond So stop asking me to DM Mike Wang or some the only community manager that follows me is LD 2k I don't have some sort of secret plug, but you know who does JR Smith every time JR tweets out about the game. He gets a response. So here's what we need to do as a community Okay, shout out to JR. He follows me We need to get a list a list of things that need to be passed and fixed all we need to do is send that to JR JR will get the response to be They are good might as well be the hero of the 2k community We don't know they are tweeted out about having to buy shoes ain't signed with the company Why would I have to buy shoes Ronnie responded? I was like Ronnie, but we're just so we got we got to get NBA players To help us out NBA players can help make 2k great I'm playing but I just know that like that's the only time we get a response Other than that Mike Wang is kind of just responding randomly to some comments, but yo it's kind of coming together I'm not getting kicked out of anti-up games There's some glitches that people are really abusing right now that I'm sure they're gonna end up patching And the sad reality is that I don't even know because 2k every year like game comes out It's really not finished for beta testers And then they kind of patch stuff and make it better Sometimes change the slider so much that they make it worse, but this year definitely better And then the game becomes playable and then at that point we're like all right cool But could we have just had that at launch listen man Chris move has been going on a rampage recently He's been dropping all kind of rant videos. This is been caught everybody off guard Nobody expected this to happen But all I know is if he's dropping rant videos and he made a video saying the gameplay hasn't really improved from last Y'all like yo Because he might be like the only other person in the community that can get a response yo some y'all have a cold case a Franchise fatigue. I'm sorry man, but it happens to the best of us I mean so many people I've been talking to talking about like 2k is dead I'm like we talking about man every year 2k drops They get new viewers and then the old the OGs Sometimes get franchise fatigue like it happened to me with Call of Duty I still keep up with the eSports, but I don't play it like that You know I mean unless a new game mode comes out of nowhere that begins to flourish like when my team slowed down park came out of Nowhere right when my career slowed down my team came out of nowhere So it kind of kept people fresh for a while But I don't know if there's any huge game will come in so 2k community is not dying because people keep trying to say that It's just some y'all have franchise fatigue. It's a case bro talk to a doctor doctor can help you with that issue It's 2k at the end of the day is basketball game, right? We just want a really good experience one that's enjoyable one that plays well without bugs and glitches And maybe not without because without is impossible, right? There's always gonna be a bug or a glitch in any game, but with limited right We want to feel like the game is polished when it comes out I heard some y'all saying oh, how did you go to the NBA event? And then you came back and you said it was good and it's not good Hey bitch. All right, listen carefully. How was I supposed to know that in one hour of playing the game? I went went there and told y'all guys the gameplay feels silky smooth It's the way the whole event was designed We went to the barbershop more than we actually got a chance to play the game. I'm gonna leave it on that man The 2k league I have hopes I have you know what it is. But every time I get hopes I get let down But hopefully that's not the case this time if you enjoyed the video make sure to like the video subscribe listen Follow all my stuff in the description every single one and then I'm gonna catch y'all later I'm out peace
