Spending 25k on a game that comes out yearly should lower your credit score and restrict your right to vote

I remember when you bought a game you paid once and got the whole game. I’m showing my age.

This was the review we needed because the #1 problem is the community leaders online. Period.

This is a better review than what IGN made

Mark my words. In the years to come 2k will be the leading cause of death in black men. Stress, and high blood pressure through the roof.

Not to mention that you also get penalized for lagging out of a park or rec game. One of my friends lagged out on a park game and recieved a 30 minute ban. He then gets back on and lags out of a rec game and then got an hour ban.

I have played NBA Live since 1995 and got into 2k in 1999. For 24 years, I purchased this game either yearly or skipping a year or two. The only reason why I buy this game is for the updated roster or if there are additions to the classic teams. I don't really care about any of the online features... most of the time, it's always going to be an exhibition game

I graduated in 08 to my boy..I remember when games didn't have patches you had to play the game how it was made and adjust.. Why are companies changing they game that they spent days and months researching with real experts on to only let PPL THAT DON'T PLAY BASKETBALL IRL OR PROLLY NOT THAT GOOD TO INFLUENCE THEN ON HOW THE GAME SHOULD BE PLAYED..

The main reason why they always fold and patch things is because the ones complaining are those content creators or the ones spending all they money on 2k

Great Vid TBH. I like how you approached the 2k community it a lighthearted concerned manner rather than popping off ya jokes like you do at times (which is also entertaining). But given the circumstances of their community. This was the better choice 🤝🏽 Great vid. Keep ‘em coming !

Definitely waiting till its heavily discounted or free. Have not wasted my money on NBA 2K since the first one to come out on next get, 20 or 21 dont remember. Main games gor me rn are gonna be Spiderman 2 and maybe AC.

I swear I felt the same way about everything stated 😂😂. I’m going to sit this one out this year man 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️.

The “you’re a victim” supa hot edit was perfect.😂😂

You ain’t wrong a whoooloe lot in this video Godbless bro bro 2k listen up💎

I already uninstalled it. I took years off of playin 2k and decided to give it a chance this year and by the $100 version which I NEVER DO and I regret it. All 2k cares about money and when u say anything bad about the game like the shooting cus the shooting is horrific they say ur trash. Nobody got time to no life this game to find the perfect shot when Mike Wang already said they purposely mad the green windows small to be more accurate to nba shooting percentages. Park use to be a casual/arcade mode now its only geared towards no lives/streamers/2k league players. Im 27 now and I've see the regression of gaming in the last six years and if something isn't fun anymore I'm immediately letting go. So this was my last year playing 2k. Idc how good the trailers look, how many people hype it up in the years to come cus I kno the truth. And the truth is 2k will never be great again ✌🏾

The community is one of the reasons I skipped this year’s 2k

Thanks for being honest about da game ❤

🔥🔥🔥🔥 video as always 💪🏽

Class of ‘08 Stand Up !

Definitely waiting till December-January before I buy this game

I literally just bought this game, but on sale 75% off because I'm trying to expand by sports horizons and all of a sudden, it's geared towards the NBA, don't ask me why, that's just how it's rolling right now. Anyways, i say that to say this, i liked this video cause all I'd really be doing on this game is playing the franchise mode and maybe the Mamba Moments cause i think its a cool concept but all in all, if the online and even god forbid the career mode just isn't enjoyable, this may be the only NBA 2K purchase i ever make for my PlayStation. Thank you for the insight my man 👏

My boi TBH coming with the cold hard truth 🤝

Great honest review.... you've earned a sub from me..... The game is not bad it isn't good either.... I keep hearing people talk about skill gap? Stop it.... There's nothing skillful about this game.... It's all about if 2k is going to give you a good animation or not... or if they're going to let you have a good game this game or not.... And don't get me started on the joke of a badge system they've introduced.... half of the badges don't even progress even though they popped up all game.... Game is mid at best

ModernWarNegro!! Good to see ya

I enjoyed playing my roommates copy of the game. Ima just wait until it comes on gamepass. They still only have 2k22 on there so that may not happen but even tho I love basketball, these games aren’t worth the $$ it cost to play and get your character somewhat ready for park/rec with the boys 💯

online me and my friends have an online league and it doesn’t allow certain users games to saved once they finished and I can’t sim the lakers games at all for some reason. Any suggestions

Oh my god those graphics. I would have thought they'd be better by now than they were 10 years ago.

As a white belt in Jiu-Jitsu. I appreciate the tip 🔥

Finally stopped my addiction on buying a new madden & 2k lately goin on 2 years not pre ordering either

i was in your stream talking about this before, but MyTeam is definitely watered down this year. especially with player auctions being taken out it feels way to grindy and it feels like you’re being forced to buy MT for better players. not sure if this matters to anyone or not but just a good heads up

just when i was thinking bout getting back into it after 6/7 years smh

Hey shout out to all the wrestlers let's go!!

7:06 sounds a lot like how 2k19 went too lol

I haven’t bought the game in 2 years… how’s the gameplay and graphics? All I want to do is play franchise mode. But I want to be able to enjoy the gameplay and graphics the most..

Bruh yo character looks JUST like you! The tech has come soo far 😅

Yea, definitely waiting til Black Friday 😂, and that’s just to play quick game online

Man , I agree 1000% I made a center because of how bad the shooting is and how "size" is gonna make a big difference this year and then after paying they drop a patch on post players . It pissed me off but they said oh okay its for post hooking to me which was fine because Im more of a drop stepper anyway then I find out the way Mike Wang nerfed post hooks was by reducing the shot success from close shots . It affected everything near the rim from standing layups , to drop steps and post hooks. Practically making any possible success to my build nerfed after spending $50 on the vc

Thank you for saving my money

The Modern War negro nostalgia hits different

Would this game be worth it if you don’t play online? If at all?

I’m still playing 2k14. Play mostly franchise mode. MyCareer is fully accessible offline which is not the case for every 2k after 2k14 I believe.

We running bigs this year TBH

I decided I can't give 2K anymore money so I refuse to buy VC. 2K23 my player never got to 99 overall but I grinded enough to get him to 98. but man idk if I can keep grinding this game. Especially with the games coming later this year on top of the ones from earlier I still haven't had a chance to play 2K might not be able to hold it's spot on the SSD this time around

Will 2k ever get dedicated servers. Its 2023 man. Shouldn’t not be no heavy delay when playing online

2K23 is my last I haven’t played mycareer just my league.

Jumping from PC to PS5, I’ve found the game to be a nice jump. Anything is better than the PC version. There are many issues that plague the game. Badge regression and insane VC requirements are the two big ones. But other than that it’s a solid game. However, moving from 2K23 to 2k24, on next-gen, I think most people should wait for Black Friday or a massive sale. It’s not worth full price.

About time someone kept it real because these KZfaqrs be so 🧢 and don't talk about the real issues good job 👍🏾

2K could potentially cater to both online and offline audiences by creating two distinct NBA 2K experiences: Classic Edition (Offline): Priced at $60, this standalone title would focus on single-player and local multiplayer. It would revisit and revitalize beloved offline modes from the 2010-2017 era, boasting modern graphics for an enhanced experience. Online Arena (Free-to-Play): This online-only title would be either free or available at a low price point (around $20). It would prioritize competitive online gameplay and offer all the microtransactions 2k wants to put. Regular updates would include roster changes, minor graphical improvements, and other features to keep the online environment fresh, eliminating the need for yearly releases. This would allow players to build their online dynasties and characters over time not having to redo it every year from the beginning. This two-pronged approach could provide a more sustainable experience for both online and offline NBA 2K fans.

When I was in Highschool we had a black President. 😂😂 old ah

Bragging about spending excess money on a game is wild! I was on the fence with this one, thanks for the video!

Removing 2k from my life actually noticeably reduced My stress level. Didn’t realize how much until watching this video. I can never go back

I ain’t bought 2K since 17 😂 I just play that if I got the itch

As a bjj practitioner myself, wrestlers are definitely annoying, but in a good way 😂

Facts facts preach

I stick to my league where i can create a all around player max out all badges way more fun then my career

I got messed up I paid it download it and use it for a day call PlayStation to get a refund is not happening this season worst thing ever this is completely trash😢😢

Spending 25k on 2k some people are insane

I bought like one t shirt so far clothes prices are absurd 😂😂 93 ovr this game just doesn’t pull me in

The fact this game still guaranteed has input lag while every other online game doesn’t is my deciding factor nowadays, nothing they can do can make up for the online delay im good until they learn

Bra I spent the 150 on the ultra super deluxe DIGITAL ONLY VERSION. Half way through the season and I’m only an 80 overall. You gotta put up 60+ points a game to get over 1k vc 😂

"You're a victim" 😂😂

I found the only shot that works for me. Chris Mullins base then Kobe and Jordan release . Either ratio. Literally the only shot I can make

Song at 4:57?

Just wait till it go on sale for 20 it be cheap and most of the bugs be fix

here from twitter

If they’re going to keep this style of gaming they should just make 1 2k game and the beginning of the next NBA season make that a free season download and every new season in 2k make that like $20 and u can at least keep what ever accessories u buy.

$8,500,000,000 budget 💵

I'm one of those people still on the fence about buying. I want to play My NBA and not My Career, and I heard the game is buyable if My Career is not your mail game mode.

💯

Okay, I wish I knew these 4 major issues before I bought Nba 2k24. It is clearly a game aimed at the elite/richest in society, my bad. $25k to get your my player build to par is beyond me. ✌️

This is why I don’t play Ultimate Team on any EA games either. You’re spending extra money on packs that you can’t even use in a years time. Atleast when I buy skins in a game like Valorant, I can use them later…

my league for the win

“What up” who🧐

At this point its the same game and somehow they slowly got us to where u gotta spend alot of real money to even be able to compete with dudes, if not welcome to grinding for months and doing it the hard way and by the time u elite the new 2k drops lol or u find a new build and u gotta buy vc all over

2k this year is really good gameplay wise. If you love basketball, I would recommend playing it. But don’t give 2k any extra money, please

I'll wait till it's cheap with the 100,000 vc or extra content stuff. Usually when the playoffs or finals happens next year. 😆😆😆😆😆

Skipped 2k this year because just because the 2k support team gotten lazy on fixing issues I’ve had all last year on 2k23. I only buy the games every other year when rosters change anyway. The game really hasn’t been fun since 2k15,16, and 19.

It’s a skill gap this year. That’s the only reason why people are complaining.

I think people should get there own view on it

I agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯% with ya

The shot meter has consistently gotten worse every year, I really don’t know how inconsistent jumpers are like bruh

Zensational

Skipping 2k for the again this year

Yes

Still lagging??

me watching like i didn’t buy it a cool 3 weeks ago

So just the same old 2k huh? 😂

Actually kinda funny but Badge regression is stupid in the way they utilized it. Yeah if you don’t hoop for a week, you gonna look like you never played. That doesn’t mean that you lose your touch while doing some type a work.

There is 84% discount in steam rn. Should i buy it with 10dollars?😂

I understand that the regression sucks but you can just play a McCarver game and get a badge up from one tier to another in like 20 mins or less if you foul out towards the end. It still a hassle but its kinda blown out of proportion, and getting the immunity badges from playing mycareer or other modes really help but people rather play 20 park games and complain then play 2 mycareer games and progress way faster.

I be trying to get runs in the discord lol

I remember playing 2k and Madden on the ps2/ Xbox 360 and the input delay wasn’t anywhere near this bad. It’s awful and people hardly even mention it in their reviews of these games. I honestly don’t know how anybody can brag about playing competitively and for money

Game is pay-to-win & really only fun with friends. Park is full of cheese but Rec is actually pretty good.

Imma old head i have played every 2k since 2k2 and this the 1st time i regretted buying the game.

It’s a fun game! My only issues is the micro transactions and how out of control they are.

Skill gap for shooting? Ha!

The gameplay is great but I can't get past the microtransactions. There's no fun in a game that's pay to play.

See my beef is I’m a my career player not PARK or bs rec and they killed my career there are ppl who actually enjoy them stories and I’m one of em obviously I haven’t played my career since 2k19 that was the last decent story

Oooooooo no Pokémon gaming fanbase is right up there.

Bruh every 2k has its problems. At the beginning of every year the game has problems and even through the year they try to fix gameplay. To me the GAMEPLAY is fine the Maine issue is with the cost of players and item, the fact people can buy battle pass cosmetics and double xps, and badges not popping up.
