THIS IS DISGUSTING! (NBA 2K25 RANT)

[@C_J36]

Been like this for years, My cousins always laugh at me for NOT dropping an extra $100 on the game Mycareer should be at least 3-5 years of cut scenes and decisions and have real consequences and please just make it offline.

[@Dontae_777]

Going on 5 years since i played 2k i wash my hands with 2k until someone else makes a basketball game. I feel bad smaller channels that build they channel around 2k. Nba 2k is dying and they are going to sink with the ship. Sad😢

[@RudyJayson450]

Is it really dying? People need to stop buying it ( and not just complaining )

[@graham5990]

I'm right there with you. I quit halfway through 2K20, picked it back up for whichever one had Luka on the cover, and haven't bought it since. Until the greed ends I'm done.

[@kingpimpskinnypimp5329]

Facts

[@Cameo96_]

THANK YOU! I been calling this game disgusting for their predatory micro transactions. Pay to win ahh game. Why tf does a $70-$150 game have a battle pass?? Why doesn’t ur player progression and VC transfer to next years game?? Maturing is realizing this game will never get better until the community stop buying it.

[@Staticky1000]

Why don’t you make your own game?

[@Flooszn]

2k îs worse than EA with microtransactions but the thing is they're still doing the same shit EA does

[@GUAPSTARYT]

@@taofeeksaka17 ea is infinitely worse… they are trying to normalize people spending $100 a week on packs across 2 separate games . i hope they lose all their playerbase after this year . def not buying any of these games will prob just play zombies on gamepass when it releases lol

[@taofeeksaka17]

I'm playing old 2k and EA games including Madden 08 so while i agree l, 2k the only company to monitze career mode

[@TopJazzCat]

Which is why I always laugh when people say things like they wish that 2k made NFL games. They would be on the same stuff EA is.

[@jamaljones566]

Nahhhhhhhh, EA is far worse with less to even buy from. EA is disrespectful with how they go about it. Gameplay is ass, features are barebones, presentation is lazy. Then have the nerve to ask you for $100 for simple stuff.

[@taofeeksaka17]

You're right but I'm discussing microtransactions which 2k does worse. EA copied 2k with boosts on which you're paying for XP boosts, whereas in 2k it's been there before 24 or 25.

[@SonicSkychaser]

Shit like this makes me glad I brought NBA Live 19. At least in that game, you can upgrade your player's stats by playing the game in The One mode (Both The Streets & The League)

[@phxmiller]

I buy my 2k’s off ebay or mercari so I can still play basketball without contributing to 2k’s pockets. They can go bankrupt for all I care.

[@216Love]

Yall buy 2k every year just to start over with 0 vc, a brown shirt, grey sweats, 2k generic, and to top it off they start you at a 60 overall.

[@fxkecyan]

Glad there's someone out there still wishing for an offline career mode. I always loved the PS3/360 2K games because it had a sense of progression of you getting drafted and becoming better as seasons go on. Paying to instantly become an 85+ is the dumbest thing ever, but it makes them money, so I get it. It's just unfortunate for those who enjoy the feel of career progression. There is no career in 2K anymore. I also despise the fact that you can pick your favorite team and instantly play for them - that's also not realistic at all. I remember doing great in the Rookie Showcase only to find out the team I like isn't even going to interview me - that was fun. Whatever this is now - isn't.

[@jlewis4529]

[@SleepWhenUDead]

They do be capping it’s MY Career when I play I don’t pass to nobody 😂😂😂

[@TheTriangleOffense47]

We gotta stop buying 2K until they properly expand the game. I love the idea of Mycareer but like you said, after the first couple of games or season it gets pointless. I wish it was more dynamic

[@TheBMJProductionz]

You just described MyLeague my guy. Playing player lock, edit to your liking and have him go thru the draft. Have fun.

[@TheThinkingMansTemplar]

Yup.. all sigs all badges.

[@stewiegriffinfan18]

I’m not buying the game this year. The community has a large fault in this too. In 2k23 and 2k22, you could play through the first 25 games plus college and get 100k vc. They got rid of all of that on 2k24 because the garbage community wanted to just drop the money on their builds. I vividly remember everyone complaining about the hot dog hat. Too bad I don’t have a voice and a following in anything that happens. I spent way too much time on the game (1200 hours) from September 2023 - May 2024 and most of it was in the boring sunset park because it took an unreasonable amount of time to get VC

[@fakedazzleful]

I remember when I use to play myCareer and earn my point to level up his attributes. I was playing more than 3 season and win championship. But now, I try nba 2k22, 2k23 and I play 2k24 for less than 10 second and quit. The game is not fun anymore

[@deisel2276]

It cost more to buy nba 2k, buy vc, make a build, buy vc , level up the build, buy Gatorade, buy clothes rather than buy madden and cf25. Buying both cf25 and madden is cheaper than buying 2k alone

[@ohuhoopinhoopin]

Lmao you don’t HAVE to do any of the things you listed at all. If you buy 2k, you ain’t gotta buy nothing else. It’s just a slow grind 😂 that’s ok. It’s either you wanna waste money & compete off the bat or waste time and slow grind it. The choice is literally yours.

Facts bro. It’s going to take all of us to stop feeding into the bs. Or nba live is going to have to come back with a good game to give competition

[@graham5990]

I remember I bought 100 dollars of VC in 2K18 and that lasted me almost all year, and got me 3 builds all maxed out with a ton of clothes/tattoos/accessories. Now 100 dollars is barely enough to max out one player without and shoes/clothes/accessories/boosts, and the fact they have a battle pass is just insane to me. Haven't touched this franchise since 2K22.

NBA2K has turned into a phone game. They have designed it to deliberately frustrate you into spending money. Either grind like it's a full time job or buy VC. 2K is a greedy maggot of a company.

Life tips 1: Dont buy 2: If you want an offline career mode, put your player into a draft and when he gets drafted switch to that team and player lock on him Its not as in depth but if you want to play your guy its the best way to do that. Also the ai is better.

Tbh, the park and rec are pretty brain dead as well. There aren't too many players that know how to run plays or play defense.

Please people, vote with your wallets. for half a decade now I’ve been saying don’t by this trash franchise, I quit a while ago, do I miss playing a ball video game YES undoubtedly, but nba2K has become such garbage I can’t excuse spending on it. What you don’t pay for in money you pay for in time, and you respect yourself enough to value your time. There’s nothing about his franchise that screams “we respect our audience, their time and their love for our game”.. I know it sucks and for some of you, you just want get home play ball after a long day I get it, but the experience won’t ever change coz 2K aren’t incentivised to. We’d have a better product if we banded together to demand change, but it doesn’t work if people are still buying this thing, even for just one mode.
