NBA 2K19
-
Tear Dropper is hands down the most useless badge in the game
-
Light contested layups are going in at a better rate than open layups
-
Your chances of hitting shots increase as you move further away from the rim
-
Players are being heavily penalized for not being able to time millisecond timing windows on inside shots with multiple animations that trigger randomly
-
Midrange jumpers having a lower timing window than 3pt jumpers
-
The most valuable shot in the game is the most reliable shot, the quickest field goal attempt, and the shot that requires the least amount of space to get off (3ball)

Update: after a bazillion hours in on this game (where I only care about MyCareer mode - looking for some escapist fun) I get my player to level 90. I have maxed out the mid-range dead eye badge and for mysterious reasons, the game now tanks my player performance across the board. It played more fun as a 70 ovr player. I had games scoring 20-30 points with a handsome amount of assists and rebounds but now I can’t sink any shots, no matter how good my look or how full my shot meter. In-game, it never gives me green but I still manage to fill the shot meter damn near perfectly. And even with a character whose supposed to be about as deadly a mid-range shooter as ever existed … I get abso-frickin-lutely nothing. I have never been so angry at a video game as when it turned on me like this. Don’t buy this thing if you thought you’d have fun with MyCareer. It is just awful.

Freestyle 2: Street Basketball
Background of me:
I spent around $200 on this game for its gamble like draws to aquire items.
I have 1 lvl 50 character(max) , 2 level 40 characters.
I have some great friends to play this game with.
–—————————————————————————-
Recently after i obtained indepth knowledge of this game, I have to tell you this game is filled with Pay to Win cash players and hackers. After exiting the rookie channel, Every game you play, you will face either P2W players or hackers. Maybe at peak hour you can find some normal players. I don’t know p2w, but the hacks are getting out of hands and it really destoryes the gaming experience and the game company is not doing anything to punish the hackers. This game is going down hill, with very few player base. Even at peak hour you owuld see about 30 games.

3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound
Dead game like Freestyle 2: Street Basketball
After a certain level like F2:SB you play with all the higher level players that have all the unlock of most of them. Better abilities skills etc. It is at level 10.
After level 15, you get matched up with max level players, with no near any missed shots
Pay-to-win game, can’t win if you miss events, etc. you will be too far behind.
Too low population will match with higher levels that can always win against you.
Dead game about 100 ish players on steam population.

What a real pity. I had read the reviews before trying the game and I hesitated to try it for quite a while fearing it truly was Pay to Win. But in the end due to a serious lack of street basketball games I surrendered and played the game for about 2 weeks, every day.
Now I know all those reviews were right. The game is ok for the first 10 levels or so. It looks fine despite there’s no full support to controllers. At first, despite the messy UI and bugs the game itself is fun enough for you to start considering investing some money.

NBA 2K21
The hands down worst game series is back with another carbon copy of its predecessor. I could just copy-paste my NBA 2k20 review, but that would be hypocritical.
I remember listing the recurring bugs and the most glaring defects in my early reviews. Perhaps the most annoying, recurring, bug is the automatic playcalling bug: There’s a switch in the options to toggle the playcalling from automatic to manual. The switch doesn’t work, still. An ongoing bug for some five years now. I’ve personally reported this bug for countless of times directly to the 2k “support”, with the same answer: It will be repaired in the next “version” of the “game”. If these are just yearly versions of the game, why do we pay 60 € for it? The number one disgusting “feature” of the game is the so-called personal power field: The basketball players on the court cannot really collide with their bodies, ever. There’s an invisible power field surrounding every player, which prevents collisions. And it prevents the realism of physics happening, unfortunately as well. Some old basketball computer games around 15 years ago displayed this horrendous feature. It was quickly removed. Until 2k games wanted to ruin the only NBA game franchise for PC for several years with that retarded feature. These are just examples, to give you an idea how low the standards are in every step of the production chain. Just to add a few…the pick’n’roll ball defender still tries to go under the screen, all these years after Steph Curry changed the league; You, or any of your teammates, are unable to tip the ball to the hoop off a rebound, only CPU’s team can; The animation gaps between you actually being able to control your player are so long. The list goes on and on. I don’t think one, single, area of this game is well, or even fairly produced. Every facet of the game is a fail.

It would honestly be fair to call 2K an evil company at this point. There are only two options; either the company is staffed solely by incompetent developers who are incapable of creating a functioning game OR, much more likely, they knowingly, annually, decide to tighten the screws of their monopoly around the heads of literally millions of kids who shell out billions of dollars in revenue to this company every year.
We can talk about rampant cheating, abysmal AI, or the horrific optimization that is sure to make even a beginer-level programmer cry himself to sleep. I, however, think it is much more interesting to talk about the scam itself: to purposefully make the game unbearable throughout every facet of its gameplay. The sheer malignance of such behavor is difficult to understand for normal people, but here it is important to understand how financial incentives choke the life out of every argument for game improvements that is not bounded in optimizing the “revenue stream.”

NBA 2K22
I have failed and once again contributed to the annual money bucket scrap pile that is the NBA 2K series. The last 2K I purchased was 2K19, and for years I purchased the brand new 2K. I purchased every new 2K from 2K14 through 2K19 and did have plentiful fun with friends. However, with my friends having moved away from this game like so many others, I find it more infuriating than normal. It is the same game it was in 2K15 as not much has changed…
Here I will lay out a few things which are IDENTICAL to previous 2K titles, or essentially the things that matter…
– Real player with 346.8 hrs in game
1. Not next gen, even though pc graphics way better then console
2. Same game as last year, literally, same game
3. Poorest flow of movement in sports game today
4.Fouls are worse this year then any previous year, funny that NBA changed the ruling on fouls but 2k22 must not have gotten the memo
5.They said they improved defense, false, they made offense actually worse
6.Still have done nothing about the cheaters in the game, seriously someone made it to level 40 in a hour that a new season has been released?

Dunk Lords
While it’s early in this game’s release window, I can tell you this is one of the most fun and balanced basketball games I’ve ever played. Been playing in NBA JAM tournaments since 8 years of age, play NBA Showtime every once in awhile, all NBA Streets, JAM, hangtime, Urban Street basketball and many other arcade titles. This game captures a nostalgic element despite being new. 6 years in the making and you can tell that this game has Andy’s and Beeson’s heart all in it. The gameplay, the depth of a fighting game, random elements and the fast pace. Beautiful. THE ONLY KNOCK???? No online play yet, but support the game and that’ll come into fruition. With Playgrounds and now this (Also Basketball Classics) Arcade hoops is back.

In a time where Basketball is not on TV, Dunk Lords not only fills the gap, but provide quick, quirky gameplay that makes you wish NBA was just 2v2 and filled with Buff Strawberries.
Multiple games can be played in a short time. Couch Co-op is an absolute blast. Each Dunk Lord has a uniqueness and charm to them. The game is solid and would make an amazing Arcade cabinet.
With almost 10 hours in, I have played over 30 games and about half of the story mode. I can’t wait for a group of 4 to come play with. I fully support this game if you want that NBA Jam feel, but you really want to just be a bear who smacks people with fish.

JAM GODS

PBA Basketball Slam: Arcade Edition
I’ve been playing PBA Basketball for a few hours now and I’m still hoping to unlock the campaign element to this game. I also don’t know much about PBA, but I love that it’s like NBA Jam. I wish there were more scenes to go to, more players and other options other than just Quick Match. It got old really fast. Hopefully there will be an update to this and I can give it a better review. However, I do recommend it. But I would recommend it more if I could do more things.

Same shit as the mobile version. But they did literally nothing to the game. Balance doesn’t make sense either.

Swing Dunk
after recent updates, the game is very fun to play with friends, it used to be sluggish and slow but now I like the pacing. Game becomes very frantic against good players
game has a learning curve but after mastering it u can throw alley oops and shit like that, it becomes addicting.
Only downside at the moment I see is lack of playerbase (the expert ai is pretty good) and the lack of modes, which I see that they are planning on adding
– Real player with 62.4 hrs in game
We must have in mind that this game is still in development and receiving updates. The game itself is easy to play but kinda hard to master, it requires a lot of teamwork in order to win matches. The AI difficulty is hard for those who doesn’t know how to play and that may be the reason they give up after only 2 matches. But it isn’t something I would complain, the AI difficulty is okay for me and I think they should be even harder so the matches get a little more competitive. Overall view: The game is really nice and it is very enjoyable, if you like real basketball you’ll love that you’re able to throw alley oops, dunks and trickshots. Can’t wait for the next updates.
