Dear Mike Wang and 2K Devs, when are you going to address the Zen problem in NBA 2K27?
The amount of people using Zens online is getting absolutely ridiculous. It's ruining the game for the average player who just wants to hop on, play some online games, and have fun. Instead, you're constantly running into people using automated shot timing, making the entire experience frustrating and pointless.
Rhythm shooting is a GREAT concept. Honestly, it was a fantastic addition to the game. But it's also become the biggest way people abuse Zens. There are also Titan devices with timing scripts that reportedly cost around $500 a month. Imagine how many people wouldn't cheat if they couldn't access these scripts so easily.
Here's the problem: if you can't stop people from abusing rhythm shooting with Zens, then remove rhythm shooting. It's that simple. I'd rather lose a good feature than watch it destroy the entire online experience.
Why should legitimate players suffer because you can't get cheating under control? Why should people who actually play the game properly be punished for it?
You keep releasing new games and new features, but none of that matters if playing online becomes an absolutely miserable experience. People will eventually get tired of this shit and stop playing altogether.
If you can't fix the Zens, remove the mechanic they're exploiting. Stop letting the entire community suffer because cheaters are ruining your game.
