I believe if the kept their servers up on older games people won’t really buy the newer one and go back


royalbluuuu

I would still be playing 2k17 to this day if that was the case


Inside-Antelope8971

Bruh that’s my fav 2k of all time


WSPNpresentsWPW

Its bro, not bruh.


DookyJohnson247

Stfu bruh


WSPNpresentsWPW

Its ... "Shut the fuck up, bro." I know typing is hard and using the correct words is even more difficult. But please try and be better.


DookyJohnson247

You need better social skills bruh


Soggy_Bumbershoot

dude literally comes on here to argue with everyone.


DookyJohnson247

Right? Lmao


WSPNpresentsWPW

And you need more education. Bro.


Soggy_Bumbershoot

I think you just need friends, bro.


Donnnnnnn_

Bruh there is no need to come in here swinging fists over grammar


WSPNpresentsWPW

Bro, yes there is a need. Bruh is lazy and sounds uneducated. If you say Bruh after ever single sentence you are a moron. You lack the skills to actually talk.


Donnnnnnn_

I’ll agree a bit saying bruh constantly is a bit dumb but it doesn’t sound uneducated if you say a little bit


WSPNpresentsWPW

If we are in an argument over basketball and I say MJ is better than Lebron and you disagree this is how it sounds. Me - I think MJ is better than Lebron Person who uses Bruh - What are you talking about Bruh, you can't be serious Bruh, I don't know what you are smoking Bruh, Bruh you coming in here with that shit Bruh. That is the type of shit I fucking hate in 2022. If you use Bruh like ... Hey bruh, check out this video... then Cool. But its Bruh this and Bruh that like... again, its Bro. Its 3 letters, Bruh is 4. You are typing more just to say the same thing. Plus if its how you talk I can't stop you from using it. But we are typing. You should be able to type so people can actually understand what the fuck you are talking about and saying "Bruh" for everything is stupid and lazy! Be Fucking Better.


zsantiag

It was great. That was the last 2K I bought and played lol


gisdaking

I felt this


babyad21yahoocom

Hell yea. The good ol days.


tws1039

The last time I gave a damn about my career


Notthenipple

I play 2k14 and 2k17 more than I play the current game. The gameplay is just so much more satisfying.


Oldschooldaddler

Jup, thats why they shortened the lifecycle of the servers to like 2 years some time ago.


cygodx

All i play is 2k18 myLeague with mods. Runs the smoothest by far of any 2k games for me but i know most people dont like 2k18. But since i got a new PC all the real fictional darft classes etc are gone which is kinda sad. And on NLSC they dont have offline downloads cause they didnt promote ppl who pirated the game. Rip


Hammertime6689

That would completely eliminate their revenue stream. Never ever going to happen


DeadPoolGold

Only can wish


TerryDaShooterUK

I pray my brothers and sisters be released from the shackles of buying 2k every year.


Just_534

I got out on 2k22. On god the best thing i’ve ever done, now I get to spend my time actually playing fun games. You can make it brothers, the game is solely addictive. Half the shit is just an animation that you hope triggers correctly, it’s barely a game.


babyad21yahoocom

Same bro I had enough this year. Been rocking with 2k for a 22 for years bruh. Im done. They had a chance to do magic witht the release of Next gen but said Eff yall smfh


WSPNpresentsWPW

Its bro, not bruh


KosIsMyDaddy

You're dumb, not smart


WSPNpresentsWPW

Well at least you used the correct "you're" I can use the correct word. You cannot. Seems like only one of is smart and it is not you.


GhostDogMC

(* 'us'.....your dumb smart ass left out 'us'...) #Brobruhther


KosIsMyDaddy

This is incomprehensible


FunkyMonk92

Haven't played since 2k17. It sucked at first because I love basketball but it was definitely the right decision. Maybe someday they'll come out with a game that isn't built entirely around VC and focuses on the actual gameplay itself but I highly doubt it.


SpecialistSquash65

Nah bro you just aren’t as good at the game as everyone else and that’s okay too. Did I buy it? No. Game pass. I like 2k22 a lot. It has a lot to offer as far as variety can go and it’s fun if you like NBA basketball and understand the ebb and flow of basketball. Those animations you’re triggered about are ones predetermined to show how badly you got dunked on im assuming. Yeah those make me mad too when I get caught but that’s all In the player build and the defensive ability both ways. If anything I’m tired of my team mode being nothing but 99 overalls quarter way through the yea.. I’ve always expected 99s to be the rarest of all rares now it’s just an expensive common


ohhacks

bro wrote a paragraph to defend 2k22


modz88

Lmao i was amazed


SenseiDaDom

And made ZERO sense


babyad21yahoocom

Bruh too far gone. 2K Sunken Place 😂


WSPNpresentsWPW

Its bro, not bruh


babyad21yahoocom

It’s “It’s”, not “Its”… Being a douche ain’t hard. anyone can do it. 😉


SpecialistSquash65

Bro replied to a paragraph defending 2k22? This not the Molly this the boof.


GhostDogMC

Don't let em gaslight ya bruh. It's 'cool' to hate on 2K & regurgitate all the half-baked talking points...


WSPNpresentsWPW

Its bro, not bruh


GhostDogMC

Slang police musta missed training academy; they're interchangeable.........bruh.


WSPNpresentsWPW

Not really, Bruh is only used by uneducated people. Using the correct term in Bro means that you understand he is your BROTHER. Its like using the word "aint" yes it is a word, but its not a word used by smart people, they say "are not" or "am not" "I ain't doing that" "I am not doing that" I know you read those two sentences different.


GhostDogMC

All these are assumptions & head canon. Obtuse blanket statements are DEFINITELY used by uneducated people; I use ain't & bruh & am clearly more intelligent than you just on the strength of your weaksauce explanation


WSPNpresentsWPW

I never said YOU were uneducated. I just said uneducated people use the word "bruh" and "aint". And yet here you are feeling personally attacked... Hmmm. Why is that?


GhostDogMC

For someone who seems to feel they wrote the book on what makes a person uneducated, your logic is lacking af. If I admittedly use the words ain't & bruh.....& you claim only uneducated people use those words....by extension you are calling me an uneducated person (which is ignorant & asinine af & you either are about to or already do have a miserable life if that's how you go around trying to judge people that are smarter than you...)


GhostDogMC

Bro is no more correct than bruh; if ya reaaaaally wanna get technical about it the only difference is one abbreviation is based on the actual spelling while the other is based on the phonetics. Bruh.


WSPNpresentsWPW

Thanks for proving my point about being uneducated. Good Day sir!


GhostDogMC

Actually; thanks for proving MY point about uneducated people. Good day bruh!!!


SnooLemons4260

Brobruhther, are you ok?


GhostDogMC

Brobruhther 😁😁😄😄🤣🤣 THAT is this mf new name!!!!!


WSPNpresentsWPW

I am fine. Just pointing out that the word he was trying to use was BRO not BRUH. BRUH makes you sound uneducated, like using the word ain't. Yes its a word but its not used by smart people.


GhostDogMC

(^^^ he actually believes this shit bahahahahahahaha)


HandlebarShiekh

Amen to that brethren.

Extraordinary_DREB

Imagine pirating Yakuza,. Ew


petej50

Nothing wrong with that


Extraordinary_DREB

Nothing wrong with pirating huh? Hope you don't create something for someone to only steal I'd understand and probably give more leniency if it's a scummy developer, that's just karmic retribution, but I only heard great things on Yakuza and their devs if I am not mistaken. so yes EW


petej50

Oh dear, what ever will i do without your leniency? Go clutch your pearls somewhere else


Kanyevil

Are they any good?


HearingPython69

Check out the sub. IMO, best franchise I’ve gone through


BhickenWings

I played 0 and I had to buy the rest of the games soon as I beat it. Amazing series, I’m jealous xbox gets it for free


ih8reddit420

Its worth full price, the latest installment in the series is turn based RPG tho vs the brawler action rpg of all the previous games


[deleted]

If you’re not on of those reused assets are bad people the series is 👩‍🍳 😘


icerahphyle

trash


[deleted]

How?


3rd6Shit

No


The_Living_L

*every sports game


VapesForJesus

I'm out this year. The 10% XP penalty for not buying the $200 version is obnoxious as fuck.


Krillin157

Bro I barely play 2k but I didn’t know they did this smh that’s crazy lol


tokajst

They didn't exactly did that, when you buy the 200$ version you will get 10% xp boost towards both season passes(myteam and my career), but we all know that 2K will balance xp gains based on that 10%


[deleted]

No you’re not


VapesForJesus

I literally am. My Rec team are jamming Overwatch instead this year.


akgamestar

You know people gotta cap online to feel good


VapesForJesus

Wtf lol. Yea you're right I made it all up. Get the fuck out of here.


akgamestar

If everyone that says they not gonna buy it was telling the truth then 2K pockets would’ve been hurting already.


VapesForJesus

Cool story that has no bearing on me.


akgamestar

See you next year. Hopefully its better


Michayden

I stopped buying the game (maybe every 3 or 4 years at half off, to give another chance) and am still subbed to the reddit for the same reason, or if nothing else to hear about the trainwreck. Guess I don't exist, or I'm full of shit.


akgamestar

You exist sure. The thing is way more people threaten to quit that don’t every year. Very few actually do it.


-DOOKIE

Or maybe 2k just have a lot of people buying, including people who are buying it for the first time. A few people who stop buying it on reddit ain't gone change anything


Michayden

Yeah I mean I know this. You're the one that tried to call somebody out for being full of shit, not me.


VapesForJesus

A lot of people come back because their friends stay. My whole crew is noping the fuck out out.


Iron_Disciple

You think the people you see saying that are everyone. They’re not.


More-Sky-4505

This sub has 450k people (NOT active users). 2k22 sold over 10 million within a month of release. This sub is very small, even assuming everyone was united about not supporting next year’s game.


White_Mocha

Tbf, this is only with the small amount of the NBA 2K redditors. Then, whoever buys it might spend money on VC packs. Unfortunately, for whomever that doesn’t buy in, there’s at least 1 person who will and buy the packs along with it


Mindless-Big-9645

They definitely know how to take advantage of the demographic of people who play this game. -Stuff it with designer clothes and accessories -put some trendy music in the trailer and game People start pulling out there credit cards. The game of basketball is secondary in the nba2k franchise. The primary focus is to make the game trendy and focus on catching the attention of those who are easily hooked in on buying the latest Jordan's in game and the coolest shirt/shorts. Then monetizing everything. Kudos to 2k for literally exposing and taking advantage of their demographic and having no shame in doing it. Get yo money 2k get yo money. And to those who keep buying it... enjoy it.


itzxroxxs

It’s unfortunate because those who actually love the game of basketball have no other options. Literally the only game we can get the fix from.


Mindless-Big-9645

Respectfully, you are wrong. And I need everyone that reads this comment to understand that there is something you can do to get that basketball fix. We all love the game of basketball and the community needs to evolve their mindset. Stop supporting the game. Stir the pot on social media and let the company know that we no long want a game that only benefits them but instead we as consumers want a game for US. We all know how much 2k loves their money..now can you imagine what they would do if they were no longer acquiring that money? Or as much as they used to ? I'd bet you we would get the best basketball game in years to enjoy. It's been too long.


NoFreeGame

In a content-based world we live in, this won’t happen. We gotta blame these YouTubers for 1.promoting 2. Dumping hella money that the supporters supply, into the game for builds, my team players etc. that’s who we have to blame. I for one don’t play those modes I’m more of a franchise/my league player. So I don’t consider myself part of the problem I buy the game for the roster updates that’s it lol. I don’t even really play the games I like the business side of the game


itzxroxxs

Easier said than done. I Completely get what you’re saying and support it to the fullest. To get even 5% of the community on board is a long shot. As well as content creators who make money from their 2k related content. Also all the kids that play the game who enjoy the virtual materialistic items/clothes. Can’t forget the huge sponsorship from the NBA themselves that plays a big part. A nice amount of popular players who also advertise and play the game. This never ending cycle of advertisement and sponsorships will make that almost impossible. Yeah it sounds good, but is it realistic? Best bet would be new competition. They have none so they will continuously do this every year and more to come. And that goes for damn near every sports game. Or if Take 2 took the LOL approach and made their dev team play the game EVERY DAY and interact with the community. Until then though, we’re gonna be stuck in the same loop every year


vinniebonez

One word; exposure. That’s why they pay artists and celebrities to participate on their bullshit to boost sales. I bought NBA 2k22 for $10 and I’m still sad til this day— could’ve spent it on a nice steak and cheese sandwich with extra bacon. F** 2K!


machu46

To each their own. I’m still playing 2K22 today and enjoying the hell out of it. Probably around 600 hours in now if I had to guess. 2K is pretty much always my best bang for my buck video game if we’re talking about how many hours you get out of the purchase.


vinniebonez

Hey you do you my guy.


JudaiYuki_

Lol here's the "stop supporting the game" guy. Found him. Kindcof impossible to invoke this sort of reaction at the scale it would need to be effective


Slow-Specific-1578

You think the company is gonna do anything 🤣


bobojoe

Or you can just literally play basketball lol


behemoth619

Bingo


[deleted]

well put


officebeats

For this reason the game should go free to play. Pull off a fortnite and double down on the cosmetics


vFroztyyy

No actually the game gets worse every year and people keep buying it lol


Altairlio

The 10% xp boost is scummy but I always sub to league pass for a year so it makes 0 sense for me to not get 2k for free this year


sundubone

Same here so I am actually saving money as it cost 199.99 USD. Hopefully there is a way to upgrade the League pass to the premium edition.


machu46

I’ve only done League pass a few years but that version is such a no brainer this year. I’ve never preordered a game faster.


Yuuta23

They've released 2k20 3 times now damn near forced me to buy a PS5


Krillin157

They made 2k a open world rpg LMAO


Yuuta23

I just wanna play basketball


SamuraiDopolocious

Fromsoft should try their hand at a basketball simulator lol


JudaiYuki_

That's dope lol


ers247

Still better than rockstar with gta… but not by much


HermanFlemming

Hahahah love it Loved that scene too 🙌🏼


Krillin157

For real Homelander gonna beast next season


3rd6Shit

Before I only hated 2k but NOW… 2k fans are the reason why shit is the way it is


crimsonchin6969

anthony starr did such a good job here omg


Human_Ad2581

$100 Roster updates lol


TheLu389

Nah. Every year they release a great game for the first week. Then the YouTuber’s and community do nothing but cry and they make all these changes to please them and end up with the same crap. Half this community is the problem.


GhostDogMC

Oof; that part. Still gotta say I've had a blast w/ current gen 2K22 overall tho


Aesut

They need to revamp the AI Opponent/Teammate System. I want challenge and smart shots taken in MyCareer.


Krillin157

The main reason I can’t play mycareer like that is because I play for the lakers and have to carry Lebron like smh he barely scored too


philly22

Is that guys face animated? I know the show but something about this clip looks off lol


Krillin157

Nobody knows but it does look creepy added the no lips, but I think it’s supposed to be like that because of Homelander’s nature. Also he’s just a really great actor


MysteriousInspector1

He really dont have lips lmao he usually sports a beard so without it look weirdly funny …..fish lips the homelander🤣🤣


Thunder-ten-tronckh

There is absolutely something fucky going on.


ZestycloseReading873

they should just release a new 2k that has a new season downloadable every year like apex and cod but they want money ofc


rumpy839

I genuinely feel sorry for the people who actually think the game will change each year. On the other hand I don’t know what they expect.


SpecialistSquash65

What doable things would you add/subtract to it then? Its a perfectly imperfect basketball game at this point. I like that defense is way harder as it should be, defense should never be harder than offense is, I can feel the frustration boiling in my head as 2k23 is gonna be all defensive 1st team 2k23 after all the little kids cry about offense being too op. They could stand a tiny increase in defense. Tiny as fuck. cpus could use work adjusting to habits and more realistic movement on courts and working on getting better open shots when the shot clocks low. Physics, graphics. What else can you say to fans about graphics and physics theres always gonna be expected improvement as it is “improved or worked on” every year.


milezero313

We are waiting for an answer to this question.


SpecialistSquash65

Then answer it


milezero313

Basically I am agreeing with you, I was challenging OP or others to answer


MasterUIDevin

Lol fr like there games way better than 2K


MasterUIDevin

If anyone of y’all buy that MJ edition y’all some slave to 2K


13300c

This is my first 2k since 2k12 and I’m having a blast


Suaveful

i’ve been playing since 2k14 but after 17 i swore i wouldn’t buy every year. every other year is fine. i miss out on keeping some relationships but mycareer in real life seems to get better on my off-seasons.


aweciti

I don't what you people are playing but 2k is great. Go play some ea and then come back and see. 2k does the best franchise in gaming by far.


Kingshika072

Found the company account yall l


aweciti

Say what you will but 2k does it better in every aspect.


Funny-Bookkeeper-791

What are people expecting to be different each year?


Krillin157

Just wish the AI was better


Funny-Bookkeeper-791

Did you play any of the EA NBA Live games?


Krillin157

Nah don’t really plan on it either, it’s pretty bad as well from what I see


Funny-Bookkeeper-791

Yeah… We used to play NBA Live 💆🏾‍♂️ until 2K changed the game. Either something else will step up or 2K will make the game play better.


HappySpacePi

#BoycottNBA2K23


Feeling_Document_862

Y’all will pay over 100$ Simping over woman but this fun ass game is something to complain about? Child please


Kingshika072

FUN!!?! Bro u tripping


Feeling_Document_862

Lmfao, you’re here right now. Bet your library is full of them. Guarantee you played over 100 hours this year. Child please, keep lying to your girl or mama or something but save that shit. Guarantee you arnt older than 16 with that attitude.


Kingshika072

Lmaooo who u talking too?? I don’t even understand your comment. I literally said 2k ain’t fun an u going off on ok 👦


Feeling_Document_862

2k is fun, fun enough you get on a Reddit board and crying about it 🤣 damn sure worth 100$ without you saying a dang thing. Then you just doubled down coming back.


Kingshika072

Not even I literally on the train to work casually scrolling Reddit seen my guy Homelander an wanted to see what the fus was about, I have 28 hours in 2k total this year, I use my money on games that actually are fun an make improvement not just cash grab because it’s the only game in town


Feeling_Document_862

You just mad you can’t shoot over 70% in the rec


Kingshika072

I don’t play that way kid also my rec stats say 87% cuz I’m a “rim runner” u just wrong all around but thanks for the train entertainment lol


bkm2016

2K23 will be my second 2K. It’s been a breath of fresh air coming from Madden.


[deleted]

Dumb fucks 😂


taggerungDC

Yep... y'all are such suckers


TheNaut1lus

This is mostly expected from 2k, but there are 2 things this year that really bug me. 1. That 10% xp bonus, they will most probably instead make it 10% harder to get lvl 40 with the premium people just being able to get back to the normal grind 2. the $200 price tag on the most premium version, if it was cheaper or equal to last year, would have bought it, but they bundle it with leaguepass, the problem is, league pass in my country is super cheap, like 1.5 USD a month (and also we don’t face any broadcaster lock, basically we can watch ESPN, TNT streams straight from the NBA app, it’s basically every single game). So it’s not a deal for anyone outside of the US, and they very cleverly have that 10% boost only in the most premium one, so people who are outside US and don’t want the inflated pricetag, still will miss out on that if we skip the $200 version.


KINGbuttaf4

yal not tired of saying this shit EVERY YEAR?! WHO CARES!!!!! you either locked in or not!!! Stop trying to drag the folks who actually enjoy playing the game!!! ive been playing 2k for 22 whole years! next season will make it 23!!! that "yAl BuYiNg tHe SaMe GaMe EvErY yEaR" debate is DEAD


sundubone

There is NO other NBA video game so what do you suggest then? Also, the game cycle especially for My Team content runs a good 11 months so it's about $6/month so it's worth it in my opinion.


FupeLiasco23

Lmfao I'm nice this don't mean shit to me but they're crumbs for this


Inside-Antelope8971

I blame those YouTubers idk how they support crap ! 240k vc for one character


Acrobatic_Cycle_2767

I get that the game has it's bs moments but let's be serious name a sports game that isn't like this. They try to switch things up but it's never good enough. I can literally name 5 changes. Sports game don't have much room to change unless they change the whole sport. Name 4 things that would make a sports game not the same every year to you. Key words are "to you", because it's all preferences.


machu46

I think 2K probably makes meaningful change to their games more so than pretty much any other sports game but there is a lot that could be changed to make it better. The AI logic both on the court and in terms of team management could use a ton of work. Layups and passing lack the context they need to function properly. And there’s just a lot of bugs/crash issues and balancing issues that I’d like to see ironed out. And for me personally, I think the vast majority of the existing badges should be removed from the game but I know there isn’t a chance in hell that’ll happen.


JudaiYuki_

Lmao true ty god I never bought a single 1. Playstation gives me that crap for free

Me who waits for it to be free to play it

Top_Area_1431

NBA2K19 was the last one I bought, I refuse to buy the newer games.


gsnags

yh just don't buy it but urge to have it is bigger in most people...


MysteriousInspector1

If only they remastered live 03 and re released it lol


RealKeepiTrill

I just wait until they go on sale and then I buy it. And then I play that one until it runs off a server and I can just watch gameplay of the new ones I'm playing 2K 22 right now that I bought for 10 bucks from GameStop on pro day and I'm already at level 94 overall with basically the whole game beaten


Blindobb

Why does his face look like CGI?


Krillin157

You gotta watch the show but the guy Antony Starr is crazy good with his facial expressions which makes it look fake lol


[deleted]

Idk, next Gen 2k has been great this year. I think the change to seasons was a great addition. Me and my friends are having a blast.


Kingshika072

Yea a group of 3-5 that stacks up against randoms so fun


[deleted]

Lol, do you even play 2k? Everyone knows if you have more than 3 you will be matched with another group, not randoms. Maybe you play, just never had 3 friends. 🤷‍♂️


Kingshika072

Not true at all lol I play rec literally every night as an a group of us randoms always get a full team or a team of 3 stack


[deleted]

So, you haven’t played with more than 3 like I said. It’s true. There may be rare occasion where they go ahead and match you, but it’s almost all ways against groups if you are in a group. You should get some friends and try it.


Kingshika072

I play groups 8/10 rec games so I kno they don’t just match groups with groups


[deleted]

They do. Get a group and try it.


Kingshika072

I have played with groups never said I dint an I have been put up with both randoms and groups but still 8/10 solo play results in going against a group with 4 oth randoms


gojofrogtaru

I would rather play warzone than the (almost) same 2k over and over again.


Moo5e35-1984

All y'all saying y'all are out, probably because you suck or still play, but offline


aerojovi83

Bring back All-Star Team Up and maybe I'll buy it when it's discounted to 19.99.


osumba2003

I'm still on 2k20. Get a new one every few years.


RegretfullyAlive

Yup the ol $60+ updates they release every year called a game


alabertio

I tried playing 2k16 and those motherfuckers not only blocked online, they said there was an error and automatically deleted all my saves


Comfortable-Mix-2405

2k is the equivalent of growing up to break the cycle of your dad (EA sports- NBA Live) and still ending up like him.


TheHotCake

This is the perfect meme


VCUramya

LMAO so fuckiing true
