RE: The Machine NBA2K25 Career Pt. 19 + 🌎My Thoughts on the Sports World Today🌎

Max dropped Dustin twice and Dustin got a nice knockdown himself and had a solid chance at getting the finish at one point.
This is correct. On the one where Dustin dropped Max it was pretty amazing how fast Max recovered though and he was quick to dodge the follow up strikes that came after. It was really a back and forth fight with a lot of strategy and it could have gone either way for a lot of the entire fight. That was one of the best matches I have ever seen. I agree that Max handled the victory with absolute grace and he scored a lot of points with me because of that.
that videogame looks pretty old school. Not long ago a friend of mine tried to intro me to NBA 2K25 on his playstation and I gotta say that the games are a lot more complicated than how I remember from my youth. They are too involved and complicated for me to get into them very much.
Yes Dustin had a glimmer of hope, but Max proved his durability is much better at lightweight especially since he's added healthy bulk to his frame! It was an intense 20 seconds or so for Dustin there, almost had the gilly! It's like those two were meant to fight I swear, it's a privilege to be alive during their trilogy! I loved how Max told the crowd to not be so down after Dustin's loss! I agree that was definitely one of the best MMA fights ever.
Yeah I'm playing NBA2K25 on PS4 so the graphics and some other features aren't exactly cutting edge I guess you could say, and yeah these newer 2Ks are pretty in depth hahaha. Definitely a lot of time and effort to get your player to where you want him. But yes I loved these games since I was in high school, they are the best career modes I am aware of in sports games. Haven't played a 2k since like maybe NBA2K21 so I'm just enjoying it the best I can!
I remember being a bit unhappy that Poirier went for the clinch during the final 10 seconds but he just did and interview and was asked why he did that and his response was "I didn't want to go out like Gaethje" lol. He knew he would not emerge victorious in such an exchange. Max has truly gotten new life breathed into his career. A year ago I would have said that Holloway was definitely on the way out. Can he win it all? No, I don't think so, but he is definitely one of the more exciting fighters active right now.
I think the last basketball game I enjoyed was 2021 or 2022 and the only reason why I enjoyed that was because I was playing locally with some friends and none of us knew wht the hell we were doing. One of our friends would constantly get the buttons mixed up and would be throwing up half court shots on a regular basis.
When I was playing 2025 the other day it found it difficult to so much as even get inside the pain. As a person whose first bball game was "Double Dribble" I don't really have the patience necessary to master all the buttons or deal with very real things like not being able to just run right through whoever is guarding you.
Yes that's true, I found it entertaining when Topuria invited Holloway to trade right at the opening bell in their fight lol. But yeah I think Max still has some good years in him for sure. I don't imagine Topuria stays in the UFC long, I imagine he might pull a Khabib and leave if he can manage to stay undefeated. If so maybe Max has a title run in him who knows.
Yeah 2k games can be pretty frustrating at times! Haha. But you get used to it after awhile. Some people use the right stick for shooting and dribbling but I don't do all of that I just run around and press square and time the shot release lol. Definitely tricky, but it becomes fun eventually.
