The only people truly excited for this game and youtubers and streamers, they're going to get more views thanks to explaining and dumping shit on even more aggressive monetization.

This is why sports games are labeled as the worst kind of games out there. They are getting to a point that is just better going outside and exercising. Take the bullshit microtransaction/surprise mechanics/casinos outta my games.

I’m done with this series.

Take-Two is not only continuing its microtransaction/P2W bullshit, but it’s also removing all of the physical extras in its more-expensive physical edition. It’s ALL digital crap now that has no value outside of the game. No more posters, magnets, or other tangible bonuses— because TTWO is cheap as fuck.

This is the first time I’m considering buying 2K on day one. I know I shouldn’t but there is part of me that wants to so bad.
 
F 2K and this series right in the A.

They've essentially ruined this game chasing whales. I've been a huge fan since OG on Dreamcast. It's sad how they've bastardized and degrades such a formerly classic series into a thinly veiled slot machine. Emblematic of the AAA industry swirling the drain.

It’s the same problem that affects Madden and FIFA; the rise of cheap RNG-laced microtransactions has forced more focus on this shit than the formerly important stuff, like traditional game modes and improvements.

You know what the selling points are before the game even comes out: MyTeam and MyPlayer— the two modes that require purchasing Virtual Currency to function as intended, without a forced slow grind. Even with prettier graphics, they’re still just dressing up a wallet-eating turd.

It’s a damned shame that NBA Live is trash, because there’s pretty much no alternative for hoops fans.

If someone went back in time to the year 2000 when I was happily playing the shit out of NBA2k1 on my Dreamcast and explained to me about this preorder bullshit and what "Virtual Currency" and Stadia would be in 20 years, I'd think the future was a dystopia.

I remember when I used to love these games and was excited for a new one. It's a microtransaction filled, buggy mess now.

I already pre ordered my copy been getting 2k since the very first one on Dreamcast and I won't stop now I love playing the game. I barely play online and I don't buy vc yes the servers get on my nerves sometimes but I don't treat it like its life or death or that serious. I understand the complaints that some have and it seems to always come down to online play so I'm not ignoring the complaints that the people who only play online have its just that's not my experience. Like I said I don't buy vc which is the biggest complaint I see so it has no baring on me per say and I wish they weren't there just so there is one less thing for people to get online and complain about.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Y'know, even beyond the microtransactions, the core game is absolutely awful. It feels so bad to play. I wasn't expecting NBA Jam levels of fun, despite that it's been 25 years and you'd think 2K could figure out how to improve upon something like that with all their resources.... but man, it's bad.
