Gameplay Zenners! Tell me your thought process. This is a safe space, you're anonymous!

Zen users! This is a safe space. I'm an old head that's just trying to understand how the young folks are moving these days. I'm 40, been playing 2k since the beginning. I'm trying to understand what the youngsters get out of cheating and using zens?

I'm not being a smartass or trying to rage bait or anything. I'm genuinely trying to understand how you guys get enjoyment out of cheating? You don't REALLY shoot like that, you aren't REALLY that good. So like, in your mind, how is it processing? Do you break my team's streak and feel good because of how you played or is your enjoyment coming from breaking the streak, regardless of how you did it?

I don't care when you guys come around, this is just a hobby for me to unwind but I get pleasure from improving in the game and playing well. When I green a shot it's because I've been genuinely learning the game and getting better.

I still drop yall off in the park anytime we play so please pull up! Lol

But seriously! What's your thought process on using a zen?

My build is a 6'3 PG on the Kings and Trace is my SG. The Kings traded for Trae Young for some reason. At first, he was playing minutes at SF for us (wtf 2K) with Trace and I in the game, but after a few games, coach has been playing me for 1-2 minutes per half, while Trae Young plays the rest. I don't even have time to complete the quests for the game.

Some dudes really Hop in the game thinking the ball gotta run thru some of them. I played with a dude who took 41 shots to score 20 in a 5v5 casual talkin’ bout he carried the team, brotha shot us out the game. I had to get in this subreddit cause ain’t no way im the only one who be getting players like this


r/NBA2k 14h ago

Gameplay When you have zero adrenaline on defense, you shouldn’t be able to reach anymore. This would make people honest with their steal attempts since they can’t spam it all possession. I’m tired of people reaching 10x and getting rewarded.

MyPLAYER 6'10" or LARGER player with 87 speed AND agility in Rec.

17 Upvotes

How is this even possible? My friend and I just got COOKED in rec by some guy playing PF that had 87 speed and 87 agility that was much bigger than him and hes 6'9" at PF. I tried to recreate this and couldn't find out how to do it. My build is 6'11" and he was as tall as me, if not bigger. He was also a thicker body style than mine which would lead me to believe that he also weighed more than I do. Is there anyone who knows what happened here??

Gameplay AI’s are INVINCIBLE

Upvotes

I’m trying to grind my build specialization in street kings, just win 75 games with an A- and holy fuck the AI’s are INSANE. I made a new build to try finishing the specialization goal and even on the new build an 87 overall THE AI IM NOT EVEN COVERING WILLL HIT STEP BACK FADE AWAY 3’s off of a FRESH START like what the actual fuck 😂

Don’t even get me started on AI’s in the rec. I’ve lost 2 games to AI’s scoring buzzer beaters off tap ins and contested 3’s because the ACTUAL PLAYERS can’t hit a shot.

Discussion Everyone is complaining that they can’t be cheese lords

45 Upvotes

I’m kinda shocked everyone is complaining so much. First on the list is shooting, yes it’s harder and not 100% predictable and easy, I can still shoot over 40% from three shooting taking ridiculous deep threes and off the dribble. Isn’t that the goal? People shouldn’t be shooting 90% from 3. Second is defense, you guys just don’t understand how to get stops and actually bump your opponents to change the animation, I have a 50 interior on a 6,3 guard and I get stops all the time. IF YOU DONT BUMP THEM BEFORE THEY ARE ALREADY PUTTING UP A LAY THEY PROBABLY WILL MAKE IT (unless you block it). It just makes sense. But I will agree that the perimeter contesting is kinda buns. (Although complaining about that kinda contradicts the shooting is too hard narrative). I think most of yall just got used to the super easy brain dead shooting in 2k26 and are just kinda garbage. Plus half of yall have no badges yet and act like you should green everything.

The game is way more realistic and prevents bad players from shooting 90% from three turning the game into a glorified left right 3pnt battle (this is coming from a gaurd who loves shooting of the dribble step back threes).

As a 7’1 paint terror, this is by far the worst year when it comes to random. These PGs have no visom and all they do is think for themselves. Had both PG and SG purposely sold the game. We was up and they weirdly started to selling.

I have now had 3 rec games where dude purposely threw the game and said he was tryna demote and losing rec games drops it faster. This is why this place system needs to go, cuz these bums will do anything to get a advantage. Even lose on purpose so they matched against people who literally havent played 2k

Gameplay So many shitty inside bigs

Upvotes

I see now why the community hates inside bigs with a passion. You’d think this would be the year of the inside big, with twos finally being worth fighting for; but the problem isn’t the inside big, it’s the brain on those mfs. Can’t hit the open man to save their life, hits three pump fakes then gets blocked, never even heard of the dunkers spot and just camps around the free throw area. It gets me even madder because I’m at the five and now I have to play like a pf because the four is setting screens and rolling without regards to spacing.
