Maybe it’s just been me but it seems like a lot of people are just being a**holes on TTO lately. I’m not the best player, mediocre at best so it’s not the most uncommon thing for me to get destroyed but why do you have to pause it right before the ball goes in? Congratulations, you made it!
Why do you have to talk trash about nuking me? I have three little girls and I have to either play with the volume off or mute every time. I don’t want them to hear some of the nasty things that are being said. Maybe being 32 I’m just being a cranky old fart but it’s really bothering me.
I don’t offball. I’m trying to do my best but this has been awful. Most every interaction I’ve had with people on here has been awesome.
I just try to kill them with kindness but IMO it’s been awful lately.
Don’t let them change who you are and your conduct. You have to remember a big chunk of the demographics are younger players who may not have the same grace and composures you have. In the end, it’s a game. I appreciate you trying to be sportsmanlike and play with dignity and pride. Keep at it and don’t let them bother you.
There’s a tremendous amount of toxicity when playing 2K online
You’re not the only one who notices this
I play with messaging turned off and sound muted anytime someone has a mic
If I’m playing someone who’s obviously new and I’m winning easily, I try to model good behavior by never flash pausing or flopping, but I doubt that does much good
The worst is when you make it a tough game for someone who is decent enough at the game—apparently they just can’t cope with losing
Had someone try to let the pause timer run all the way out on me right after they scored the last bucket to win 21-19. I dashboarded out—game’s over, what’s wrong with you? Just no such thing as winning with class for some people.
I know I am going to run into awful people but it seems to have gotta bad lately. I don’t know if it’s the summer heat that has people all worked up or what it is. Like just now for example, dudes up 19-11 and pauses it after his shot for 2 straight minutes. Bro!!! You schooled me. He offballed the whole time which honestly I don’t care about whether you on or offball. It’s whatever to be honest but pausing it is just ridiculous.
Of the 600+ TTO games I’ve played I’ve had 4 positive experiences with interaction with people either with mic or messages. Probably 60+ people talking crap on mic. And probably about 80+ negative messages.
The amount of flash pauses or game winner pauses are mind blowing. But like was already mentioned pretty much all online gaming has toxic interaction it seems
That’s 2k for you man. It’s by far the most toxic gaming community I’ve ever experienced. People used to rag on CoD for being toxic but I’ve never had as much shit as I have on 2k.
It’s not just this community. This ones pretty bad. Maddens is pretty bad. Others have mentioned COD and other shooters. It’s just the world man. So many cowards who just hide behind screens and try to do or say anything to stir up somebody else. 99% of the time though I imagine that it’s probably a kid who gets bullied in real life. Rarely will you find older gentlemen behaving this way, but it does happen too. I feel bad for people that don’t know how to conduct themselves online. They show an entire world how unintelligent they are.
Some of them are here too. I’m real tempted to start taggin some people and opening convos about why they’re such assholes.
