Why Is The Park Is So Quiet This Year? Everyone At The Cages.

[kobe2theMAX]

I’m a longtime park player on the Xbox. I am wondering where is everyone at this year? In 2K19, there is usually always only 3 courts in the park busy. The rest empty. Yet when I go to The Cages, it’s completely crowded. This is where everyone is at, I guess?

I thought about all of this and believe I may know why everyone only wants to go to The Cages (losses don’t count on your park record). Also, especially because the main park is full of record snobs. If your friends are not online and your record isn’t “godly”, it’s nearly impossible to squad up with other good players. You will have to squad up with very low level players and end up losing a lot.

The 2K park community is notoriously all about “ godly “ records nowadays. If you’re are even new to the park and still have 0 wins, you can forget about squading up with good players. You’ll just to go on a search to find friends who do not mind playing with new Park players or low tier players.

Long gone are the good ol fun days when games started quickly... people would hop on any got next circle (2K15- 2k17) and play with anyone else on got next ready to play ball. Nowadays at the park it’s all about people pulling up their players phone spending 20 long minutes checking to see if their invitee (or the person next to them on got next) has some “godly” record.

I will even admit, I myself use to be a record snob. I spent a lot of time in 2K18 keeping my record great and avoiding negative record players. I have come to realization that being a record snob kills the park. Less and LESS people are playing there … everyone only cares about The Cages since losses cannot affect your record and so many people cannot get into squads with others.

If people weren't so busy worrying about silly fake records, the park would be BOOMING 24/7. Yet, most park players do not even want to play together because everyone is extremely scared if their record gets messed up. Even those low 60's players now only want to join people with amazing records.

What ever happened to those days when no one cared about a fake basketball video game record? Records sadly now mean absolutely everything to some people. A friend of mine wouldn't even let me add a 51-60 guy to our squad since he had more losses than wins. Yet, the 51-60 player was extremely smart at basketball after watching him play.

When will all of this stop? Record snobs are completely killing the park. Sadly, soon we'll only games like The Cages left since everyone is running away from the main Park.

The reason people are so picky about records is because most of the people with bad records are absolutely HORRIBLE and playing with them makes the games much more frustrating than fun.

I believe it is because everything is connected this year in the neighborhood. Last year, when you'd go into the park, it was a standalone area that was separate from the neighborhood. This year, it is all connected, so the people roaming outside and going to the stores, barbershop, etc. are part of the Park, therefore they take away from the number of people that would actually be playing the park. This results in less active users playing park at one time.

The Cages has the same set up as last years park, where it is a standalone area where people are only there to play Cages.

I like that the neighborhood is all connected, but wish that there were more people in each neighborhood to help with the lack of Park players. But then we could have speed/server issues, so pick your poison.

Does that make sense?

Yet AGAIN ….

I have given chances to players with records similar to 10 - 68. Guess what? They turned out to be very smart basketball gamers and even went on a few great winning streaks.

If I could describe the park community nowadays in one word, it'll definitely be: -TOXIC-.

It's great we get to choose our park teammates (even take a hour on the myplayer cell phone analyzing people's park records), but the current method is quickly killing the Park.
