00:00Hey guys, how are y'all doing? I'm the Arab Beaver, Joseph Hughes. Hope you guys are having
00:04a great day wherever you guys are at. Hey, we're going to be talking about 2K just a
00:07little bit. So there's a lot of stuff that's going on, man. There's a lot of banning going
00:11on currently with 2K and the system in 2K. And I'm going to tell you right now and up
00:17front, you don't have to worry about it if you don't cheat. If you're not buying the
00:22VC from not the PlayStation store or not the Xbox store or not the Steam store, if you're
00:28buying it from a third source, you got to worry. If you're buying those cards from
00:32another source, it's a little bit cheaper. You got to worry, guys. You got to buy your
00:36stuff from the specific places that I have mentioned, the Steam store, the Xbox
00:40store, the PlayStation store, and you're going to be okay. Those of you that are VC
00:45glitching, you are going to get caught eventually too and banned. They've already
00:48started it. There's a video earlier today of a guy that was VC glitching and he got
00:54perma-banned because of the VC glitch that he was doing. The controllers, the Zen
01:00controllers and all those controllers that are aftermarket controllers, they're
01:03banning people for those too. They're banning people for the little boxes, the
01:07other Zen boxes that they're selling as well. So you guys, as long as you're not
01:11cheating, as long as you don't cheat and you keep the playing field level, you're
01:14not going to get banned, but you got to be real. They can ban you for language,
01:18however. Those of you that are out there cussing up a storm up one side and down the
01:22other, they can still perma-ban you for that. So just know. Now on the flip side,
01:262K, you've got some improvements to do as well. 2K, I mean, let's talk about it. If
01:32somebody has worked this hard and really grinded this hard to make a 99 overall
01:36or whatever, from one game to the other, you should be able to transfer your
01:40player. I believe that that should be something good that you can transfer from
01:43year to year to year to year. And I know that you've done it in the past and you
01:46should be able to do that still. And even if you give them like, last year you were
01:51made a 99, but this year you're going to be a 92 starting out overall or whatever,
01:55that would even be a good blessing. And then in the disguise as well, but you've
02:00also got to do some things with the eras, you know, the MyGM mode and the eras
02:04mode, all that stuff. Like there's, there's some stuff that's going on. I want to be
02:08able to play from the beginning of time from the original NBA and the BBA, dude, I
02:12want to, I want to go all the way back and I want to rewrite all of BBA and NBA
02:16history. I want to rewrite every single bit of it. I mean, all the moves through
02:21history, the stags, the freaking jazz, whenever they came in, I want to move it
02:26all the Hawks, all of it. I want to have it all. I want to have the Pacers. I want
02:30to have it all as soon as it happens, you know, but you know, that's, that's for a
02:34later date. And then the other thing is like, when you're playing like my eras,
02:38you've nerfed certain teams, like the 76ers, it doesn't matter if they're all
02:41100s and all whatever, they're never going to win a championship. You know, I
02:46simulated over a hundred games in 2k, 25, 26 and 27. And the 76ers, I had a
02:55complete bullied roster where I made people 100 overalls and not once in a 30
03:04year sim in 25, did they get in with a, with a complete 100 roster, five man, 100
03:09roster. Not once did they get in, in 26 and not once did they even make it to the
03:17finals in 27. They made it to the finals in 26. Let me correct myself. They did
03:21make it to the finals in one year in 26, but they did not win it at all. So
03:27that's what I'm saying. You kind of nerf certain teams. Some of those things
03:29have got to get changed. They've got to go back to the way, the way that it
03:32originally was. Every team has the same odds to win at the beginning of the year.
03:36Some teams are going to have a little bit better odds because they've got a
03:38little bit better players on their team. Of course, that's, that's just how it
03:41should be. But still you got to go back to the basics. Other than that, I think
03:46you've done a great job, especially with the trading, um, the trading
03:49exceptions that you've added. You can actually add cash and stuff this year.
03:51That's pretty cool. Uh, there's some other things that are going on. That's
03:54pretty cool, but 2k I've got to admit right here, right now, upfront and honest
03:59with you guys, uh, you know, I think you're doing the Lord's work, banning some of
04:04these players, banning some of these people from the wreck and banning some of
04:07these people from playing period. Uh, and once they've been on the antitrust list,
04:11I don't think they should be allowed back into the antitrust list or off of that
04:16antitrust list until they can prove that they are not cheaters. I mean, I think that
04:21they need to uninstall the mods that they have installed on their hard drive and on
04:24their computers and, uh, on their gaming systems. And then they need to uninstall the, uh,
04:30the controllers and all that fun stuff before the permaban leaves. That's the way
04:34I feel about it, but you know, to each their own, Hey, and for those of you that
04:38have gotten banned, let's just talk about it real quick. There's lots of older 2k
04:42games from 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, all the way through 22, 23, 25, uh, that you can
04:49still play. And some of them don't have online functionality. I know that, but one
04:52of you is going to be smart enough to do just like NFL 2k did, you know, I'm sorry 2k,
04:56but
04:56I'm just throwing it out there. You can mod it and bring the servers back online.
05:01And that way you can still have your experience that you want to have. You'll
05:04just have it on an older game. You might have to update the rosters and stuff, but
05:07you'll still have your experience. So, Hey, there's that. All right, guys, that's
05:11going to be enough for their beef today. I hope you guys have a great evening and
05:14I'll talk to you soon. Bye guys.
