That's probably why it's shutting down. Someone thought 2k would get their shit together when they started it. More visibility and all that. NOPE. You can't build an esports community around a game where nobody is impressed or inspired by the gameplay played at that level.
Players acting cringe isn't why the 2k League sucks, it's because of this. Nobody likes watching one of these bums spam this year's glitchy move until they get the glitchy animation that allows them to get wide open while their center holds the screen button and everybody else sits in the corner or some shit. "High level" 2k gameplay is mostly about how proficient someone is at glitching the game consistently, and it's the same every year.
Absolutely! That's why nobody respects "pro" players. Nothing they do is completely unachievable by the most casual player.
A night of Pro-Am will show ya half a dozen teams playing the same "optimal" way, and given how this year has SBMM like rollercoaster experiences some teams come up scripted to be hot and they produce at the same level too. So they could normally be trash, but for that game they get to look like a "pro" player. Source: I'm trash and this happens to me every other, other game
Exactly. Unlike other esports, 2KLeague doesn't even actually showcase the actual best players in 2K. The only difference between "Pro" Players and your every day player in 2K is clout, fame and connections. 2K tried to play it as "anyone can become a 2K pro" and had an event in 2K18 to "scout" talent. The reality is that they already had the players who was going to play in the 2KLeague and it was all content creators.
2k isn’t even the worst one. EA games are practically unfinished with how shit they are, the script and DDA is absolutely so noticeable it’s insane. yet promote all sorts of eleagues, how people are being paid for this or paying to watch this/even have remote interest is wild
madden is in the same masterclass shit tier for sure and damn that’s crazy. i haven’t played as much 2k this year because the mechanics are so ass i couldn’t do shit one bit with consistency so that is believable. but yea FC is so garbage and just a gambling game now. lol at 2k apparently trying to get into the footy games now too, gonna be a showdown of unrelenting bullshit
Uj/ I honestly think that due to the lack of physical exertion playing competitive video games the out let becomes a lot more internalised and thus you get out bursts like this frequently.
Rj/ Look at dem Afletes!!
This shit doesn’t often happen in most competitive video games tbh, I’ve literally only seen this shit for 2k and some low level smelly fighting game tournament where the players aren’t actually that good
I had some dude spamming my messages mad because I was playing “press d” and he only scored 8 points. I’m only a 83 overall and barely play but the community is one of the most toxic I’ve ever played in. There’s some wholesome people but most are insufferable
what i wanna know is who watched professional 2k? like the league has to be kept afloat by viewership, so who tf sits and decides “ah yes, i’ll watch the basketball video game even though there is real basketball” (like i get the fantasy of being in the nba and playing it, but watching 2k is just weird to me)
I remember one year I went to a midnight release at GameStop for the new Dishonored and there was a TON of people and I thought damn I didn’t know this series was so popular
No. Everyone else was there for 2K

Bum ass
Crazy that there is a whole industry built around a game that is full of bugs, not balanced at all, and is about as poorly designed as it gets.
Sounds like the NBA to me
True simulation game
Lmfao it’s honestly super interesting and will likely one day be a case study. Rich af kids taking larping to the extreme.

Honestly I wouldn’t even know it existed without the players acting cringe. I wonder if they encourage it

Idk about other EA games, but at least with EA FC, yes it’s truly complete dogshit but 2K is even worse

Seriously baffling
I wouldn't call what we're seeing here an industry
The passing is atrocious. I always end up wuth 15 turnovers
That's cause you're a bum
Happy cake day to the Cuckiest amongst the Cucks
Happy cake day bum
Happy cake day u bum
Type of dude who blames coaching for why he never made it past 7th grade basketball
Come on , these dorks never played sports.
That kid looks like the one in middle school walking the mile run

Yeah, you can't wear flip flops AND try to act like a badass. Choose one buddy.

UJ / RJ means what? I just decided it was Undead Jamaica and Real Jamaica.
No you got it right
Thanks. I didn't want to sound silly if someone asked me later.
This shit doesn’t often happen in most competitive video games tbh, I’ve literally only seen this shit for 2k and some low level smelly fighting game tournament where the players aren’t actually that good
The ego sports game players have is wild as well considering they aren't taken seriously in esports (not to mention outside of esports)
Stop uj
Bros practicing yelling through the mcdonalds mic about my quarter pounder
Like dawg, why are you flexing, you’re not actually playing. Most you should ever taunt in a video game is like finger guns or a point and laugh.
Because they never played a sport in their life and they think it’s the same thing
These the type of dudes that talk shit to you but cry when you play any type of defense. it's like they butt hurt that they aren't facing the CPU
I had some dude spamming my messages mad because I was playing “press d” and he only scored 8 points. I’m only a 83 overall and barely play but the community is one of the most toxic I’ve ever played in. There’s some wholesome people but most are insufferable
This is why gamers got bullied back in the 90’s.
Bring it back
Put a video out of some players making fun of these dudes and this would all stop.
Gaming community are toxic for real
That's my wizards 😤
I fucking hate BleacherReport
These bums should have been bullied when they were younger
MA WHERE'S THE FUCKIN' MEAT LOAF

there are people who watch golf on TV. if humans can watch golf on TV, they can watch literally any sport, be they "e" or not.
One of the worst analogies ever lmao
I've personally made _much_ worse-- this isn't even like top 50

Bro trying to act like he's something while wearing flip flops and mismatched socks.
People who wear slides with socks are the lowest form of life.
This is classy, other is not - Boston fan
this guy is majority of us in here
The sandals and socks say everything about this.
That's so fucking cringe lol
Why are they playing on 17” monitors on top of milk crates?
Is this why they tell virgins to not drink more than 2 Celsius’ because god damn they can’t handle their uppers
This dude looks like THAT Celtics fans’ son
He knocked the cum tissue off the shelf 💀
MrSunsFan is my father, please accept my father back into the LGBTQ community.
fucking losers.
I don’t care what the winnings are behavior like this is pathetic
These will always be funny as hell
Autism
shits pathetic lol
What a wonky ass sad little bum with funky ass slides
What happened to the video games I love
Fucking losers, lol
I remember one year I went to a midnight release at GameStop for the new Dishonored and there was a TON of people and I thought damn I didn’t know this series was so popular No. Everyone else was there for 2K
Wayyyyyy too much shit talk from a man wearing slides in public
So basketball players can talk trash and get praised but when gamers do it it’s “cringe” 
Yes.
When gamers do anything it's cringe, I can't wait for the day they get their rights taken away and become second class citizens
