Novato, CA – Ronnie2K (aka Ronnie Singh) gave us the inside scoop on a perhaps controversial piece of an upcoming NBA2K24 patch.
“I couldn’t help but feel like NBA2K24 felt too much like past NBA2Ks and was trying to think of something to not only set it apart, but something gamers would absolutely love. And what do gamers go batshit crazy for? Quick time events! But what do we use for the QTE? You can do all of the basketball things already! Shoot, steal, block, even call a timeout.”
Mr. 2K was seemingly out of options. Until a fateful event occurred during the November 14th NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“I was watching the game when all of a sudden, an altercation broke out between a couple of players. Then Draymond Green comes out of nowhere and starts choking Rudy Gobert, who was trying to break up the fight. That’s when it hit me! Another thing gamers love! Senseless violence! We’ll put the Draymond chokehold in as a quick time minigame and that’ll be 2K24’s secret sauce!”
2K fanatic Pete Hartwell read through the upcoming patch notes and gave us his thoughts on the inclusion of the new minigame.
“It’s going to be awesome! Not only do I love playing as the Warriors, but I really hate that Dillon Brooks guy. It’ll just be a new daily routine for my first game to be against the Rockets, where I’ll drop a 30 piece with Draymond then, in the 4th quarter, mash triangle until Brooks is unconscious. I would love to do it myself in real life but let’s be real, I’m not built for that.”
Playtesting for the new minigame has gone very well. The only bug yet to be ironed occurs when players attempt to pull 7’4” Victor Wembanyama down into the chokehold, it just snaps his spine in half.
