This whole ordeal also has me wondering if I’ve encountered players like this already. I don’t have access to a Cronus device so I can’t use the exploit (nor would I), but I wouldn’t be surprised moving forward if people would make that assumption. I’ve definitely had games where I went 3/3 or 5/5 from behind the arc, and I use the 2K20 timing mechanic. On top of the fact that players who have this capability will clearly use it, anybody that has a perfect shooting game percentage in any online mode will potentially be accused of cheating. The 2K modded controller debacle causes issues besides the obvious. They emulate the action of aiming the shot stick and releasing at the perfect time, and assign that whole process to a singular button of the user’s choice.

Remember, these mod devices do not alter the game, the system or code within the game whatsoever. Because an emulation of a button press or stick movement is being performed, it would appear on the server side like the user is controlling the game as intended. In my understanding of how the Cronus products and/or modded controllers work, there isn’t a way for the NBA 2K team to identify that these exploits are being used.

The shot aim mechanic was brought back to introduce a viable skill gap between players, and this exploit clearly blows that out of the water (as does the old button timing concept for that matter). With this modding issue now in the discussion alongside the issues regarding the shot aim mechanic, and shooting in general, I think it’s fair to say that NBA 2K21 is potentially ruined unless some sort of resolution can be found by the 2K dev team.

You could essentially turn a semi-auto fire weapon into a full auto weapon, or use a pistol almost like an assault rifle. Users could set up anti-recoil, auto-fire and burst fire mods, along with other enhancement mods. The real game changer with the CronusMax, however, was the potential it unlocked for controller customization in-game that was completely undetectable.

While I can’t speak to modded controllers, mainly because I only know available mods to be offered to allow for greater flexibility for shooters, I can speak to Cronus devices.Ĭreated by Collective Minds in 2013, the CronusMax USB device was designed to allow users to take whichever controller they owned for their respective console and allowed it to be used on any other console. I do believe that there are controllers that could be programmed to record user input, but it’s much more likely that one of the aforementioned Cronus devices is the culprit at play.

I’m personally under the impression that people aren’t usually using modded controllers in a traditional sense, but are in fact using a device called the Cronus Zen, or its older version, the CronusMax. The community has jumped all over this, and people are running to different resources to try and find these controllers. What we’ve seen in the last couple days have been various videos and clips of people using what has been perpetrated as modded controllers. That being said, I do have a good understanding of various areas in technology, telecommunications and the internet.

I’m going to start by stating that I’m not a game developer, IT mastermind or know-it-all. “Perfect” green releases were able to be accomplished with the shot timing before this as well, but the new aiming method has put a whole new focus on the problem. And I say this is a “new” discovery because this NBA 2K21 modded controller mess is only new in the sense that it’s getting more attention. Some players are being accused of using modded controllers or the Cronus Zen device, which apparently allows players to consistently hit green lights.

To add to the fun (or annoyance) of shooting, is a “new” discovery that has been exposed by and within the 2K community.

At this point, you’ve either gotten a good grasp of your shot using your preferred aiming/meter/no meter method (at least maybe until the latest patch changed things a bit today), or you’re still struggling to hit shots consistently.
