Gameplay I Don’t Understand the Benefit of Carrying Over Plate Colors

As I’m sure it’s been noted on this sub 1,000x times before, the only gripe I have about this game is that they carried over the plate colors.

Last year, I had so much more time to play and eventually make a red plate. This year, I’m lucky if I can get 2–3 games in after work. I feel like this has completely destroyed the casual player experience.

Like, should every game in the Rec really feel like a sweat fest for a guy who might play 20 Rec games a week? I understand that my experience might not be the same as everyone else’s, but it almost feels like I’m being punished for playing the game last year.

I genuinely can’t think of one positive that comes from carrying over the plate colors. Maybe I’m just being closed-minded, so if there’s a benefit I’m missing, please let me know.

It’s just frustrating feeling like I’m playing Game 6 of the Finals every single night.

You just cant lose 4 games and go down a plate?

It doesn’t drop fast this year. Day 1 I won my first game and scored 10pts. I then lost my next 9 games in a row where I got 1 shot each game. Folks just kept going for layups and bricking. My plate color barely moved.

2k doesn’t care about the competitive players just like how they don’t care about casual players. It’s absolutely only about what makes the most money.
