It's like this game gets more and more casual every year

[ImInThis]

I strictly play Rec and it's threes galore, teams are shooting lights out. PG dribbles a bit, pass to a teammate and automatic green. This is the same setup 7/10 games. I hadn't sat down and really payed attention yet, maybe my teammates are trash, but I swear they have a hand in the shooter's face. So I could be wrong and am getting trash teammates, but at this point the immersion for me is gone.

I just want a simulator that takes skill, planning, and tactics

Playing rec and expecting a simulation experience is a fool’s errand. Park and rec are arcade experiences, treat them as such.

But why does it have to be that way? Basically every mode right now is an arcade fest, the whole game develops in the completely wrong direction in my opinion. Most people that play this game are not even interested in basketball itself anymore...

The one thing I miss from older games was the option, for my career at least, to choose between simulation and arcade styles.

I even noticed that watching somebody like Chris Smoove on youtube, he used to have relatively realistic games on older 2Ks. Now that the focus is more arcade and less about running sets he always seems to average 50-60 as a rookie. I think that is something that needs to be resolved, and even extended into online modes to allow more sim-friendly guys to enjoy.

Even by 2ks usual online standards (which have been very arcade since its inception) this year's game feels even more arcadey given how broken the build system is. When you have 6-7 PFs that can posterize, hit deep moving threes, and dribble extremely well (while also having 20+ defensive badges) it takes any semblance of realism out the game. I was honestly ok with previous 2ks where pure sharps and play shots hit 3s at a ridiculous rate... because that was what they were supposed to do, but they had weaknesses in other parts of their game... this year though that doesn't apply to the demigod PFs.

Finally with Rec specifically the fact that AIs give too much space to shooters which essentially makes it target practice for them, which adds to the arcady feeling.

But here's the thing, the other game modes are also very arcade like. My Team? Straight casual fest, I don't even both with this mode. Play Now? I haven't touched yet, but I'm willing to bet your AI Teammates are trash.

Introducing badges and 100% greens has been the worst mistakes.
