At some point, 2K has to publicly address cheating. I haven’t touched the game in over a month, and I have no motivation to return. You can’t claim you’re tackling cheating at launch, then go silent while it becomes the worst I’ve ever seen. You can’t even get on the court anymore without seeing “Zen” in someone’s name. People are openly advertising it because they clearly don’t fear any consequences. If there isn’t a reliable solution yet, say that. Be honest about the challenges and let the community know you’re working on fixes. That would earn more respect than silence. We’ve seen old servers and websites that help people make builds get taken down, yet videos openly promoting cheating remain untouched. It’s hard to understand those priorities when cheating is ruining the experience for paying customers. I’ve been part of this community for a long time, and this is the worst I’ve seen it. New features drop, GOAT builds release, and people spend serious money to enjoy the game, only to run into cheaters when they step on the court. The community deserves fair gameplay, accountability, and communication. Staying silent while continuing to ask people to spend money is embarrassing.
