An NBA 2K dropped a Season 8 teaser, and the community threw an utter tantrum. Full meltdown mode. The tweet was just a tiny announcement telling everyone that information would be coming soon, yet the replies are extemporaneous compositions of frustration, confusion, and outright rage.
First on the bread and butter of all the cap breakers matters is InfiniteMase, who laid down the law: “new players get 5 cap breakers in one season” while others who’ve been buying “multiple season passes” for years have been left in the cold. “That’s horse shit, 2k,” he said. Seriously, one really couldn’t even argue with that. There is such a thing as rewarding the newbies and give nothing to the OGs. Not cool, 2K. Not cool at all.
Then you have the whole WNBA cover drama. Some players are furious that A’ja Wilson got promotion instead of Caitlin Clark. iSag_baac even accused 2K of racism for it, which… yikes. But RRR_mally clapped back with, “Yall be hating on women for no damn reason I swear yall gay.” The debate is wild, but at the end of the day, it’s just a cover, right? Like, wait for the actual rewards before losing your minds, people.
Then there’s more. TreEdwards_3 is here finding it difficult to find a 1v1 game from matchmaking, “Took me 6-7 straight minutes to get a game cuz I’m purple,” he accused Ronnie2K and Beluba of having that “dumb ahh” SBMM system. To which JosephNfo chimed in with at least his teammates calling others “atrocious no matter their rank.” Not exactly the best gameplay experience.
Let’s forget MyTeam complaints for once. RRR_mally joked that he’s “6’6+ at every position to compete,” which, honestly, tracks. The meta is tall, and if you ain’t tall, then good luck. Meanwhile, DezBillions suggests 2K should do online MyLeague, which… actually sounds pretty dope? You know, why hasn’t that been a thing already?
Then, classic 2K complaint: money. InfiniteMase alleged that 2K has been trying new players to buy VC at the expense of helping the existing community. RRR_mally concurs, saying the season pass system is just a cash grab that’s been copied from other games. “Nobody cares for the whole Call of Duty season pass shit,” to which I can only say, exactly.
So yeah, Season 8 hasn’t even officially started, and people are already fed up. Between the cap breaker drama, WNBA cover bombing, broken matchmaking, and endless VC complaints, the community clearly has a lot to say. Will 2K listen? Probably won’t. But hey, at least it’s entertaining.
So strap in! Season 8 is gonna come, and it’ll be one wild ride. Whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing? Well, that’s up to 2K.
