 Um, so it's no secret that NBA 2k20 is, uh, what's the word? Not fun. I don't know man. It's just missing something. Did we forget what video games are about man? I feel like we did that. Okay, so, um, I don't know when they're gonna implement these things But please send this out to the 2k developers because I came up with a brilliant list of ideas I was surprised my guys So I want you guys send this video to as many 2k developers as you guys can on Twitter on any platform because I Genuinely think if they even implement some of the ideas I'm gonna mention here in this video The next game is gonna be a banger cuz I think we forgot what games are about Guys it is so frustrating that every time there's a patch It's not addressing the things that matter to me most or probably to you most because everybody's gonna be different But I think some of this stuff we're gonna agree on so let's get into it. Hey before we do what? I'm representing all the 60 overalls out there today make sure check the link in the description grab some Merch or don't doesn't matter. Hey also dropping a new podcast today link in the description of that be the first one there I'm kidding. I need to stop telling you guys that you have no option, but to do those things So I'm not gonna repeat the other things I've been saying for the past few years because we all know what those are because they haven't done them the last 50 times I mentioned him What's going on with the my court guys the whole point of the my court? It's supposed to be a place where you can practice you want to play with your friends sure You want to try a new jump shot animation or a dribble move sure, but because it's such How do I put this a useless mode? Nobody uses it for those things. There was a time where you could unlock different my courts There was a time where I would invite people to a my court to play some games now It's like a last resort wait. There's no other options I let's try the my court and hope people can make it into my my court because it rarely ever works So let me break down what you could improve dare real quick one the one be one in the 2v2 Aren't as bad, but the 3v3 camera is stuffed up against the wall like this and you can't even see what you're doing It's an abomination So what we can do to improve that and that also is the case for 3v3 program is push the walls back What is that agent? You thought of a brilliant idea right there to solve the solution. There's problems joining my courts Shouldn't be a problem joining my courts should happen on the first attempt if they add this then I'd be ecstatic There should be a way to add delay to the my court because if I try a jump shot in the my court with no delay And then I hop into the park with a program where there is a delay because I'm playing online Then it's not gonna matter anything I practice here is not gonna matter here And the last thing I'm gonna say is just increase the court size guys If I want to practice my dribble moves the best place for me to do that is in a empty program arena Because there's not enough space in your my court every time you touch the fucking half court line the camera flips like this And now you can't even practice dribble moves no more. That is frustrating stuff, man I know we all been there where the camera just keeps flipping like this You want to whip your controller against the wall simple things all this could be done in one day by one developer except the latency thing That's just me imagining things. They're never gonna do that But just for some reference if you guys want look at fighter games Street Fighter 2nd They go OD with the practice modes. They provide you with so many features It's scary because they want you to be able to practice offline and then boom you could take all those talents and transfer them online when you Want to that's all I'm saying the next one is probably my favorite proximity chat guys proximity chat is the greatest thing That's happened to gaming is it very toxic? Yes, which is why you should also definitely have an option to mute because I know I'm gonna get sick of it every once in a while For those of you who don't know what that is basically like if I'm standing here and Joe is standing here I could talk to Joe just because we're in the same proximity you get I'm going with this And so it actually feels like a neighborhood where you can communicate with the people around you and then as you get further from him Your voice lowers lowers lowers until it finally disappears. It's like real life guys from talking to guy beside me He could hear me. Well, then definitely people are gonna try and be toxic right because it's video games It's gonna happen then just give an option to click triangle and mute it simple various. I'm tired of proximity chat today I don't want to deal with people. Well, then boom. There's an option, but yo, I'm telling you right now That's gonna add so much to the game. It's ridiculous. It's gonna make it more toxic for sure But it's also gonna make it infinitely more fun, and I'm all about fun. Hey 2k I don't know what the deal is with the servers and I'm genuinely asking why is it that if I'm in a park for two hours It's dead is it like why can't there just be an influx of people as people leave and I'm asking because I don't really Understand the situation with the servers. Is that the optimal way to reduce latency and server errors? Maybe I actually genuinely do not know but when you go back to games like even 2k 18 the game We all hate it you you hop in the parking you be thinking Oh, this is lit in 2k 18 because there's people playing on every court You hop in 2k 20 and it's like one or two courts being played and everybody else is to be sprinting in the other direction Because they don't want to lose I'm gonna mention it even though I sign and try not to mention stuff I say in every video, but just real quick guys the servers, right? Just wanted to mention it because it's definitely important and one of the worst parts of the game Hey, I want to say this 2k if there is an overpowered move now I can't get if it's glitchy or ruining the game how you might want to nerf it But what I think is a better solution and pay very very close attention guys is to create other good moves Instead of removing all the good moves. Oh my god, man You go back to 2k 15 and it's like there's so many fun fast quick moves You could go that way this way all the jump shots and then as the years went on Oh wait jump shot 49 is dope. Well, let's patch it behind the back two is nice All right, let's patch it and then over there is you just created this boring and still version of was Otherwise an unbalanced and fun game. So it is a teeter totter here balance on one side and fun on the other side You don't want no balance or you're gonna get 2k 19 where everybody's making seven foot stretch big shooting over top people But you don't want balance all the way. You can get 2k 20. There's no interesting moves, man Everybody's using the same generic I could zig zag with the same effectiveness as a playmaker Maybe not but like almost though and that's scary This is an impossible one because everybody think is the balance is somewhere and no game really really gets it right There's always problems with it. No game has it perfect But it's like yo work towards it and i'm telling you right now The answer is not to patch and nerf every good move. I'm telling you that there was a time in 17 Where there was six two speed boosting sharpshooters, which was wild now if the sharpshooters even have a single move That could break an opponent this direction. Everybody's calling for a patch God damn it these patches. Hey, uh, here's a fun idea And I hope you guys like it as much as I do just same way we talk to the other team in the park I'd love to talk to the other team and pro and it'd be a nice option Where like, you know how when you're in like see us go you can like chat to your team or chat to all Same thing that's all I'm asking for I want to talk smack on prime the way I talk smack on park because I swear sometimes It'd be way more toxic on prime than it ever be on the park I asked a couple people about that idea and they were like yeah agent That's a terrible idea But what what I say to you people is why are you so against change because I think you're gonna be the same guy Complaining the game is the same every single year because nothing is changing But then when something changes you don't like it even when it's a good change Or it could potentially be a good change the way I see it You know just like 2k 20 with the badge system I was like, I don't know this could be horrible I'ma wait it out and see and I actually don't mind the badge system this year a couple problems with it But it's definitely better than your the way we've had it in years past. That's for sure Um, the next one is fairly simple, but I feel like 2k never does it. Hey, can we control the meta? Are you guys even like guys look look you can see the moves everybody's doing right? So then how did we go all of 2k 19? And then the most blaring issue with the game wasn't even addressed You guys didn't even like communicate that you you understood that there was a problem with the meta of that game Hey, my pc guys, you can feel me on this one. It's not a difficult concept But for some reason it's rare on console Why can't we change the graphical settings of the game to improve the performance if I'm playing the game on 4k and I'm getting 50 frames per second on pc I could just decide to lower it to 1080p and get 140 frames per second So let's do the same There's problems with the performance on the ps4 and the xbox one then I let me reduce the draw distance So I don't have to load everything in the background Then that way there's going to be less frame drops and skips and lag the latency is going to be better The ps4 won't have to work so hard That feels like an easy solution and the only reason I feel like they haven't done nothing with the draw distance Is because people pay to be on the billboards around the neighborhood So like you can't then allow people to be able to blur that out So it's like all right, but then what if the performance of the game is bad? But I have to see the ads you're forcing me to see the ads It was like remember in like 2008 where everyone had like bad internet anytime you went on a website that had banner ads Yo, it took a century to load. That's how I feel with 2k right now 2k right now You have the potential to make everybody happy And if you don't want to do the draw distance thing at least give us an option to like lower the graphical settings Come on. It's not hard. Uh, this is something that about damn near everybody in the community You've been talking about I want you guys to do some homework real quick. Okay Go on youtube and type in mba 2k 14 my park. In fact, don't even bother. I got you with a screenshot. Boom How is it possible that this park right here looks so glorious and vibrant and I say this We have definitely been making some improvements since dry depressing 2k 18, but add the colors back man Make it pop. I want to be there and I want to be excited to see the colors in the life I like that there's like a day and a night cycle. Yo, I really put that idea whichever developer thought of that Give him a raise or her but I need more colors up the saturation man Up it and that's for the neighborhood. I have a brilliant idea. Hey, so let's say I want to play 3v3 program Huh, that's a noble thing to do agent. You'll play some program. Everybody loves program Yo, I'm telling you right now if we had an option to load into different parks on program Right the neighborhood is like a community of people And you can walk into any got next like this and play a game with your friends But the private program is matchmaking where you can load into venice beach rucker park roof top filly You can play a game in shanghai. So you you might be thinking agent. These are crazy ideas It would take so long to do them But hey, I have two things to tell you one 2k has already done them over a decade and a half ago in their early games Just go to 2k 6 2k 7 you mean to tell me they can't do it in 2k 20 I don't believe you and number two they develop dozens of levels for my career And we only ever play at once so we can get to the neighborhood and play with our friends So don't tell me that they can't develop those for multiplayer. I have a brilliant idea for program. Hey guys, let me show for a sec program guys Hey prime guys, let me know how you guys feel about this now Let's say you can load into a 5v5 program game With two players. Let's say you're a center and you have like a glass lock But you also have a paint beast. Let's say your glass lock is not cutting it You can call a timeout and substitute in your other player That would change the entire dynamic of program and you're using players that you already have available to yourself Am I bugging or is that not a brilliant idea? Now, I genuinely believe this next one You guys can let me know if you feel the same way I like games that reward players based off of skill not time played I could play rainbow six for 20 hours and be a diamond if i'm really good Or I could play it for 200 hours and be a gold if i'm just average. That's fine. That's fine And i'm sure there's like the best players know how to wrap up the fastest and throw lobs to each other Oh, they love to throw lobs guys. We all know those lob throwers But I feel like a rep race especially in the beginning like the first four five months of a 2k would be so much more entertaining If the way you got scored was heavily based off skill And so most ranked games will decide that based off of wins But the problem with 2k is there's no reporting system so people can boost and abuse the system But yeah, most ranked systems in most every f***ing game I play heavily value Winning but like kills matter or in this instance your field goal percentage your shots made, etc Your assists. I don't know man. I just feel like the person who plays the most shouldn't be the highest rank You know what I mean? And in this case, I'm not really talking about rep I'm more talking about like your overall Anybody could be it's the easiest thing ever to be a 99. That should be something challenging to attain But I will say this. I love the fact that you can drop from a 99 if you're not playing well Yeah, I know there's a lot of criticisms on that system and how sometimes you'll have a great game But you'll still go down overall That's something they can fine tune in perfect But for something like that to happen, there definitely has to be a good reporting system because there is people cheating all the time You know how I know because you guys tweet me every single time and I don't know what to do What you meant to do man? I'm not 2k support, but every day I get screenshots like hey check this player He's boosting. He played against the same brown shirt five different times. He's winning 21. Oh, and it's like yeah, I know I know guys man. It's like yo, there's a four times rep event going on I can guarantee you at least 25 percent of people playing are boosting and of those people boosting only a handful ever get caught And the people that do get caught are the ones that upload themselves doing it that kind of just snitched on themselves There's plenty of people that get away with it all the time There should be a decent reporting system a system where you can report someone who's doing that and a system that can determine Whether that report is valid and ban or suspend that person That's not like a difficult thing to do Actually, it is a difficult thing to do, but it's not a difficult thing to attempt You're not a tenth. There's no attempt insight right now. May I so uh cross play used to be a crazy thing Like in my mind I was like, ah, that's so far in the future five six years away But turns out man, there's a lot of games introduced in cross play and 2k introduced an idea That closely resembled cross play last year They had this like celebrity game on 2k where there was a match and everybody that was online the park on xbox nps4 Can see that match being played in the middle at the same exact time it was being played There was a plenty of bugs and glitches But because they were able to do that I came to the conclusion that they're not far away from implementing something Like cross play 2k is a big enough game. They have enough resources. They could definitely make it happen Imagine how convenient it'd be if you could play with your friends regardless of whether or not they were on xbox or ps4 Or sorry guys or pc. Oh, oh, sorry guys or the nintendo switch Okay, all right guys. I'm getting creative. I'm getting real creative with it Hey, uh, you know how when you play mba live 10 the first thing you do when you load up into the game Is you can drill around with lebron on the court That's so much more fun and intuitive than just loading into a menu screen where you click up and down Right you load up mba 2k 21 And then you get into the game and you could just play with your my player in your mycorp You could set it as like the default game mode that you want to load into So you don't have to go through all the shenanigans to get to where you really want to go to I feel like that's not a hard feature to implement could be but I don't think it is because if every time you boot up the game You're hopping right into the park. Why can't right when you load up the game It sends you right to the park or it sends you right to your mycorp or really wherever you desire I don't know about you but That's a brilliant idea to me and the game shouldn't drop broken man in the last like two to three years There's been serious issues with pro and matchmaking for the first two to three months To the degree where like if i'm on the east coast and a buddy of mine is on the west coast We actually can't play together for the first couple months of the game's launch till there's a patch that addresses it And even though sometimes there are packs that address it and they might fix it but break something else guys I know it's hard because there's only one dev team and they're releasing games every single year I know there's a lot of pressure on them and the ideally we all know the best solution is to Hire more devs. I get they're under a lot of pressure But there has to be a way where you release the game finished polished So we're not all game testers. How is it possible that there's an invisible glitch every single year, man It's the same glitches that just keep repeating itself We can't patch those and I I briefly coded a little bit in high school and Geez that was some of the most complicated stuff i've done in my entire life I can only imagine how complicated it is when it's a giant ass game where a million things can go wrong I know but what I also know is that I played plenty of games that are polished So I know it's possible guys the next 2k that comes out is going to be on the ps5, right Man, when was the last time you were just blown away by a game 2k may mean they have an opportunity right now to Blow us away and I hope they take full advantage of that I get it 2k is a deep game most games will have like a single player and then a multiplayer and that's it 2k to have some my gm some my league some my team some my career story mode Introducing like Idris Elba or directed by LeBron James. They got play now online and all start team up There's a lot you can do in the game I know and it could be challenging to introduce a lot of new things to keep all those game modes interesting I'm very well aware of that But the game is incredibly profitable and year after year you hear a lot of people saying the same thing It's like wow, they just didn't do enough this year. They should have changed this Why wasn't this address we've been talking about it for three like people have been asking for new haircuts since like 2k 14 Man, they haven't gotten none of them. So then if there is something we could do to address it Why haven't we done it man? I hope something does change drastically I don't want 2k to just coast and then just drop the same neighborhood and the same animations the same gameplay and the same It'd be nice if we just whoa, what the hell 2k did all of that Then I've been asking for my court changes since 2k 16 I get it. Like ideas are really easy, but the implementation is hard. I heard one of those developers said that to me one time Man, the idea is that's the easy part implementing them. That's the hard part All right, man, but I'm telling you right now There's no better feeling than when you play a game and then you just like what the hell you just whoa All of that is in the game and then so it's like all right 2k, right? You guys are under the tag to umbrella which gta 5 and red dead redemption all those those are games that blow people away Right, you're under the same umbrella as them. Don't try and pretend like you're not capable of doing that I get that those games launch every six years and you launch every single year cool There's solutions to that too guys Like I don't know what to tell you you can make two different dev teams or three different dev teams and run them in cycles Like call of duty or ubisoft does what assassin's creed or you don't want to do that neither They're like there's solutions to every single problem that exists for 2k. Did you guys know that? That a solution exists for all of it It's not like we haven't reached the point where like we don't have the technological advances to actually make that happen agent All of the stuff is stuff. I've seen in other games that I play So if if other smaller teams, you know, they get way less funding or they're Indie like indie developers have dropped some of these features Yo, and so I don't want to hear that this is not possible. I'm tired of hearing that It is possible and I get a year is a tough timeline to make it happen But again, there's a solution for that too. Like I don't know what to tell you guys man There's a reason I don't do many of these videos anymore It's because I did a lot of them back in 17 and I was like, man Am I just repeating myself over and over again? It's the same. Isn't that crazy? Yo, it's the same man Hey, um, I am excited for 2k 21 because I remember how excited I was heading into 2k 14 Because that was the first game that dropped on the ps4 Now, I don't know what the capability is the next generation of consoles gonna have I don't have that information But what I do know is I fully expect to be blown away this year And honestly, I'm talking like 2k 20 is done But it's it's yo February drop some content for 2k 20. God damn it The only fun I'm having on the game is on pro am park is dry as from you right now So all I'm playing is pro am I want to play park too, but it's like I can't play more than an hour of that Yo, anyway, I I just wanted to drop a video with some ideas that I didn't talk about before And so I'm gonna leave it on that note ladies and gentlemen If you guys enjoyed the video drop a like a I did drop a new podcast today Go ahead watch that But if you guys do want some fantastic merchandise, you won't be a 60 overall Link for that is in the description as well. I'm gonna catch you guys in the next episode of Agent zero uploading videos every five days I'm gonna get better with that guys. Trust me
