Here’s the method I used to brake my 2k habit. Anytime I see bs I hit the foul button. So if I shoot a wide open shot and it don’t go in I push it, if I pass the ball and it goes to the wrong guy I push it, if i throw an inbound pass for the corner 3 and that MFer’s foot is already out of bounds for some reason then I push it. You can also tell from glitches that the game cheats so when I see them I push it. At this point it’s 2nd nature to me, I’ve even hit it when it goes to wrong guy but the other guy makes it anyway. It causes the game to be really slow and boring and you’ll want to be done with it. Also you take note of every bs play that happens by keeping track of fouls. A minimum of 14 bs things happen per game which I can see in team comparison. I am ashamed that I still play but I know this will be the last 2k I play ever come 2022.
It helps also to talk shit about 2k as much as possible. I may finish out this game to 2022 but I will never give them another single cent. Just go over the basics such as they’re greedy manipulators who fix the game in everyway to increase their pocket but ignore things that can improve the game for the player because it might take money out their pockets.
a bit harsh. surely this thread will be deleted, so before you get banned, i strongly recommend you to edit it and remove all the harsh words
I understand the game is frustrating. Sometimes you lose because of 2K being 2K. Sometimes you also win in the same respect. To wish death on people because of your frustration is a little much. Use that frustration and go to the gym or go on a run. No need to get this worked up.
Use the time you’d normally play 2K and self develop yourself. Read or listen to a book. I have tons of credits on Audible, I’ll gift you one. Seriously. Good luck.
Maybe just take a break. Sure the game has very significant short comings but the biggest problems show when you play it too much. Play less and it probably won’t bother you as bad imo.
Playing less is everyones idea to get over this? Like don’t look at the cheat mechanics of the game and don’t play too much or you def will see it. We’re the worse gaming community their is if that’s the solution. We all admit we see it (cheating) but let’s ignore it and hope the basketball gods over at 2k give us a win this time around.
deep breaths and prayers
In the same breath your saying you want to quit, you might play until the end of the year and your criticising others for telling you to play less.
It’s everyone’s choice to play the game, do what you want
Just try not to play 2k as much and take a break. That’s why I dont play online because usually they reward the person with a lower tier team most of the time. I can start out winning but game 3 or 4 I realize I missing alot more shots and my opponents hitting everything. They can shoot from half court and I would miss a lay up. Even these spotlights on current make you delete the game after you use a full invisible lineup just to miss shots and a pink diamond chris Paul dubk on u
What’s the other option? We can’t design our own basketball game or make NBA Live good. The only thing players can do if they don’t like the game is to not play it and close their wallets. If enough people do that, they’ll listen.
That’s the one
I will play till the end of the year not because I like the game but because I will do a review of the game at that point and being able to honestly say I played damn near everyday is an important part of that. However I usually get on and play 1 game and off it goes compared to when I 1st started playing at least 6 games.
Might as well put my complaint here. The handicap in unlimited is ridiculous. I hate how favorable the the games can be towards one player.
I welcome you back next year for some better improved CRACK rock 
I feel you man. Fuck this game. It’s to the point where defense is a joke. Everybody is running 90 MPH back and forth to get an inch of space then stopping on a dime to shoot 30 ft threes. Who cares about building a fantasy squad when every player is the same. I hate that they absolutely destroy this game mode every year by stealing money from children to sell them digital AND 1 mixtape versions of real basketball. Even when I win this shit isn’t fun anymore.
I pay attention to the entire game from 5:00 in the first to 0;00 in the forth. This game chooses the winner at times. If you feel like the game is not in your control, then your right. A few calls here n there against you that are not your fault and boom, your cold and working hard to stay in the game. Then your opp is on fire for doing nothing because the cpu is doing it all.
This game is more rigged now then its ever been.
I took a long break from 2K, and I figured out a very simple way to help me quit: playing other games.
I played Ghost of Tsushima and Spiderman, and it reminded me that games are actually supposed to be fun. I didn’t even have the desire to log into 2K anymore. I’ve recently started playing 2K casually again, and playing some friendlies, and I’ve been having a good time. I’ll never be addicted to this game again though.
Try sitting on the auction trying to snipe it’ll definitely make you quit
Let’s face it op, we play the mode because we don’t have anything else better to do. It passes the time, kills boredom. If you have anything better to do then go for it
I decided to quit 2k and focus more on irl basketball instead.
I’d reach out to Ronnie2K via Twitter or some shit, slide into his DM’s, and take him out on a date. Once you get back to his apartment, he’ll try and go in for a kiss but stop halfway - he will then charge you 200,000 VC. That should make you quit. Just reach out to him first.
