Happy new year and good to hear another year start with a podcast!
The nba video community actually all seems to be getting along at the minute and actually agreeing on alot of things of opinions of game, the state in which it's heading and also excited to see if nba live start to make any announcements for Live 22. Maybe iam just getting old enough to block out any community negatively but hey.. iam happy
In regards to my experience with nba 2k21 related to the podcast iam in agreement that when I played the demo I felt like I was playing a new game, unlike nba 2k20 this felt different. But as time is going on iam starting to see more and more if the fault's that haunted 2k20 coming through in 21, overall it's not stopping me from enjoying the game but I agree with Dee on that when I open up the rosters and dive deep into editing things iam seeing that it's a straight copy and paste from last year with things that make no sense like for example a certain player who shots tendency to shoot the 3 was set to 0 despite him taking 2-4 attempts per game over the last two seasons and it been edited and fixed last year by 2k and it appears now with this last patch that they have again fixed it's seems like they have updated it again so maybe the roster was used as a base until they saw what players were playing like the first couple of weeks, old school nba live synergy if you will maybe, I don't know.
Talking about the continued VC issue and like people are growing custom to spending extra there was more talk in the UK and FIFA pack opening YouTubers and how EA isn't paying them to do it nor rigging packs like I've seen people say but it's the YouTube sponcers like mobile game Rage shadow (something or other) giving them like 10 large over 3 months so they choose to spend big money on packs and admitting that alot of bought packs don't even make it into videos but the effect is that people go out and try do the same which become a problem for parents more here during lockdown as kids were home playing more so in turn YouTubers were also doing the same because that's the only video content they could do.
I think sooner or later it there will be tougher rules in place of more upfront guildelines in place like gambling site have to do.
UK radio host Charlie Sloth said he spent over £2000 this summer on his LUT for FIFA which ge admitted was a problem so it's only a matter of time before something happens.
A bit of ramble lol on my part but thanks for another great episode guys!
