People who aren’t buying 2k ->

Another year of Smoove averaging 100 PPG 😭

2k needs to just bring back skill points. f*ck this VC bs

Don't be fooled every year around this time ppl start D riding then they downing the game 1month later 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ rinse and repeat

At this point make 2K and all sports games free to play. It's ridiculous how we still pay for 2K yearly for no real difference aside from gimmick gameplay and roster updates.

I can't be the only one who is burnt out on 2k. They need competition.

removing badge regression was a smooooooooveeee moveeeee

This’ll be the first time I’ll wait until the roster is actually updated and when it’s $20 😭😂😂

Would’ve been cool if they implemented playing for the Olympics like they had in 2k17, but actually every 4 years.

insane how 2k has gotten worse since a decade ago. 2k15 stays goated

I f*cking hate how the Single Player MyCareer attributes are tied to Park/Online modes
Like how are you gonna have players like KD who can do it all on the offensive end and still have good defense while we have to pick between a slasher or a shooter, a defensive liability who can dribble or a defensive player but can’t even handle the ball or shoot?
It makes no sense. The commentators keep calling us “The GOAT” in 2k24 but we were just glorified role players

This game gonna be buns

removing that badge regression cheese is a great step, but with 2k you can always expect them to make one good step forward and 3 steps back lol. We shall see

Back in the day were Demi Gods chasing Jordan. Now we’re role players being compared to Jordan

IS THIS BASKETBALL OR MT OLYMPUS W/ ALL THESE ABILITIES. Rest in peace 2k

Is it just me or does it feel like there's zero hype for 2k this year?

This game ahh but Chris Smoove still making it relevant 🫡

they need a timeout with this game....
always the same 😂

Players like Luka and Paul George make the player creator super difficult.
Luka is in the high 90s but sucks on defense, is slow, not really athletic by NBA standards. Isn't even a good shooter technically. Still one of the best in the league.
PG is 6'8 or 6'9 with crazy handles. Can shoot, great dunker, very good defensively. But just doesn't win

Last thing I want to play against is a big man with high speed and 99 stamina. Sounds like cheese 🤣

Nostalgia seeing chris drop a NBA video

Man it been so long since I have been hyped for 2k 😑

I'm wait for it to go on sale 😎

As a 2k pc player this is great. We finally get next gen which is the equivalent of going from 2k12 to 2k15- we finally get eras, pro play animations, updated graphics, updated builder, an actual myplayer storyline

Badge regression was one of the main reasons I ain’t get 2k last year

Honestly, if we all decided to not preorder or wait to purchase 2K until 3 days after the release date. They would get their act together…. Im not impressed AT ALL!! 💯

Another year, another MP 😂

They need to work on the story.
Story hasn't been good for a couple years.
I'd love a story where you were already in the NBA, then maybe you suffer a career threatening injury and you go on a comeback tour.

The badges are the exact same except for one or 2, a lot of em just renamed

They take things out the game and add them back as a “new” or “returning” feature 😂

I just miss 2k19, goated story mode

You definitely make me wanna pre order it they aren’t even done fully making the game but you broke it down perfectly

Your information videos makes the most sense to me, you and Ipod 💯

If Anthony Edwards face scan looks trash 🗑 this year, we riot 😤

VC has ruined 2K for a lot of people.

My biggest concern is the city. I'm so tired of it. Just remove it 2k!

This is who we’ve been waiting for

Smoove move with the exclusive content 🔥

Sounds good, gotta see it in person, but I think 2k should be trying to make an NCAA game, fans of 2k aren’t gonna be happy until there’s a drastic change and 2k can make some drastic changes with that game. A restrictive MP builder would work perfectly for college, dynasty would be just as good as CFB, 200+ teams, a story from HS to the Natty, and it would allow 2k to really make a game without playing it safe

I was waiting till smoove posted

Chris smoove waiting for your Video
lets go.....

W smoove 🙌🏾

Cool vid, so anyways I just won my first chip in my 2nd year with the clippers on 2k11! The hall of fame cpu was ridiculously hard so I simulated some playoff games. I don’t feel like it counts, I’ll see if I can win a ring without simulating any games!

Chris dropping an NBA video again!

Smoove youre a crazy consistent legend man, been watching since 2k10 until like 2k18. But nowadays man f*ck 2k, I dont know how you keep delivering every year 🤣

Smooth definitely the GOAT 🐐💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👀ps they finally showing my city some love Chicago lets go

I see we ain’t gone see no change until somebody smoke Ronny 2k 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Ngl that MP in the gym dribbling looked how Live 19 did

removed Badge Regression, that's a smoove move 🔥

Only video I was waiting for .. Chris get straight to the point

Can't wait to buy this for $10!

This year we not buying, just watching Chris Smoove averaging 100points

I really hope they bring back the 2K22 Next Gen builder because I hate it when other attributes go up when I max out Close Shot

Good vid

Maybe I’ll get the game when it’s on sale

I wasn't gonna buy this years 2K, but I'm a lifelong Bulls fan and grewup near Chicago. Damn.

As a basketball junkie/lover, 2k last n this yr not making me want to play basketball no more # smdh

Lightning launch 😂😂😂😂 what is this? Fortnite?

They need to stop bloating the game with last gen compatibility and drop it now.
Over 100GB when NFL collage is around 30GB is crazy

Bought this year, not falling for it next year😂

ngl it looks kinda fire

GOAT Status/ranking is still in the MyCareer, but the Dynasty Status is included too

hopefully they have a draft for my career so then you go on the team that's the best fit for u

Need 2k15 storyline remastered nothing has ever came even close iykyk

do people miss the fact he’s 6’2? 😭 2:40 gon be so bad

Hof Layup Mixmaster, Post fade Phenom, Shifty Shooter gotta have those. Basically just changed the names on acrobat and middy magician but hey atleast its sum new 😂

7’1 99 Stamina

The offseason Fiba games actually intrigue me

Smoove, play your 2K25 MyCareer on PC so you can use sliders and make it more challenging! It's next gen this year so it's updated.

Thank god MyCourt is back, should of never been gone

We need to all come together and boycott this sh*t/stop funding 2k until they make a good game. it is the same every damn year and people complain about how sh*t the game is, meanwhile they’re still funding this company.

Who the hell is spent that much money on a game or for sh*t for career when in year or two you can't use none of the sh*t you bought That's why I dont play 2k

Splashhhhhh

I’m not putting another dime into 2k! Use to be a good game then got money hungry and killed the whole 2k vibe! Done!

Let all pray for 2k 🙏🏼🤧

giving so much freedom in the builder just makes it more restrictive at the end of the day

Pogo stick, high flying denier, and paint patroller seems the same!

1 step forward and 3 steps back every year. BOYCOTT 2K25

Lmao all these years and my court . A simple and necessary feature brought back to try and pull us in. No thanks

man they renamed dreamshake, and merged backdown into dropstepper and got rid of post spin tech unless its merged with post up poet. they better allow bigs 6'10+ to at least get on ball menace on bronze and slippery off ball. ill gladly give up 3pt shooting for the post fades for more defense. now imma be pissed off if i run HoF post lock and still get dropstepped through like in 24

So The MP Verse Is Continues?

You gotta start streaming again when 25 drops Smoove.

55 seconds ago? Dats a smoooovee mooovee

Are they adding new streetball moves or new nutmeg animations ?

Talking about new features and badges but not fixing that gameplay is crazy😂😂

NO WAY IN HELL should I be a 98 overall and majority of my stats are mid to low 80’s and 70’s🤦🏾‍♂️🤧💯

bruh start streaming again

So far with the builder I’m a bit meh on it. The builder does seem restrictive again. I might just make an inside big so at least I can dominate certain parts of the game if I do buy the game. Knowing what animations u unlock is a W. Badges not regressing is also a W although these two things should have already been in implemented in 24. The legend badges and takeover I’m a bit concerned for. I’m afraid that certain takeovers will be too overpowered. With legend badges I don’t know efficient lower badges are going to be. Sometime simple is better and they just made it more complicated than it has to be. The builder is already restrictive and going for legend badge is going to be almost impossible. U would have to sacrifice a lot. I have to see what rep system and city looks like. If the rep system is going to take a back seat again to seasons than I’m most likely not buying the game. As for the city for the love of all things I just want to ball in a normal environment not in a futuristic bullsh*t setting or in a volcano. I just want to play street ball. Once again just bring back simplicity.

I havent played 2k in awhile… i wanna get back into it but it just seems like the game isnt as fun as it used to be. Should i get it guys?

Playing fiba after the season fire hope it’s in franchise

Yea pre orders bout to slow down a lot and once people see the game they most likely won’t buy it they get you sucked in when u preorder cause you might as well play it since you bought it

updates sound interesting

I'm dropping bangers! I can't wait!!!

these are good and necessary changes, but they still got a lot to fix

My career hasn’t been good since 2k13. Need to re include the draft, make it harder to get drafted high. Instead of these automated thing

the 99 stam carrying over to all players was a smoove move too

Build has 80’s finishing 80’s shooting, 90’s playmaking, 70’s defense, and 80’s playmaking. I don’t think it’s as restrictive as you think. Though he is only 6’2

Is having an Offline MyCareer with SP instead of VC hard to do 2k? I forgot, 2k corrupt AF.

These badge names always have nerdy asian gameplay director written all over them
