#nba2k25 #update
We gotta stop calling them “micro” transactions when most of the transactions are greater than the purchase price of the game.
Mega transactions does make you think about not spending money. 🧐
Micro is the rewards you get from the prize totem 😂
@@officialnoquestion that ain’t no prize totem, it’s a watch collecting device 😤
That part
Mannnnnnmnn
Micro transactions have ruined lots of games. It’s definitely sickening
Thanks to PC players and online gaming,those guys pay the most to game and now everyone wants consoles to be as powerful as PCs.
@@StayInYourPlacethis was a good statement I don't agree fully but this is definitely a statement of all time 😂
CFB25 ult team mode is ruined cuz of this it used to be good but now i solely play dynasty. I only played ult to play online cuz i have complete customization of my team but now? Maaan ill stay off line
@@StayInYourPlace PC Gamers may spend a lot but Micro Transactions came from mobile games, mobile game players spend more than PC and console games combined on micro transactions. All those Candy crush levels , skip Ad packs , or new character drops from Raid: Shadow Legends ? That's where the crazy money in gaming is .
Candy Crush Saga alone has made more than 12 billion dollars in revenue since its launch and that's just one mobile game.
Both games are still full priced too like these 2k execs are so weird bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the fact that there are people that are going to still preorder this game is crazy. why not just wait till its free
The game won’t ever be free lol.
@@tonygantt5792 it is every year at some point lol
@@tonygantt5792 bro that game becomes free every years at some point around Christmas time
@@tonygantt5792it's free on game pass every year. Are you stupid
people are pre ordering this game without seeing gameplay it’s crazy
This might be the official downfall of 2K
not a might. it is. time for em to wake up
Don’t hold your breath. People who spend money on VC ain’t stopping no time soon
OFFICIAL!
@@2KCustomerServiceexactly all city is to blame tho because he buys it and promotes the game constantly
@2KCustomerService yes, but people read about the scam practises. public criticism when it comes to gambling is not great when you try to sell a game 😂
I love when major media companies rip 2k 😂
Lmao 100 rating for a 1-year experienced Wemby and a ring-chasing KD.... NBA 2K has jumped the shark. Still playing NBA 2K20 + 2023-24 roster mod = 2K24 can go pound sand.
Why changes nothing, bc too many idiots buy the game and transactions. Makes 0 difference, this isn't anything new and people continue to buy
@@bubbles1525_ It might not seem like a big deal to you but 2K and its shareholders hate to article’s like this
@@2KRec won't change anything, this stuff has been said for years and sales keep going up
@@2KRec it's been about 6 years since 2k put loot boxes , and people were complaining and even governments stepped in , but guess what people still bought it and spent money in record numbers
Man I gave up 2k back in 2k21.... when I KEPT BUYING VC PACKS, LOOKIKG BACK AT MY BABY MOMMA GETTING SAD IM SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON A VIDEO GAME😢😢😢 ME TELLING HER "BABY JUST ONE MORE PURCHASE, IM ALMOST A 90 OVERALL"... THOSE WERE SAD TIMES THAT ILL NEVER GO BACK TO.... WORST PART IS THAT YOU DONT GET ANYTHING ON NEXT YEARS GAME FOR THE MONEY U SPENT
Bro😭😭im dead
@@spoockle18 what you dead about? that was grown man reflection. good on you senseismoke. fellow adults feel you on that.
That's real shit bro. They mastered the phycology of it all to make you damn near fien for the game and to spend money to stay competitive.
@kosmique thank u family ❤️
@@demivybez on god bro 😭
2K don’t care how many news and articles ‘expose’ them, they gonna still do what they do and that what triggers me
Because people in the community would still jump on and spend all that money so they won’t until the money dries up
@Rballerz I agree. But it seems like there are some that are tired of the routine now. Buy like you said there are still some that will still pre-order even though they haven't seen any gameplay
@@evansdada2004More people are getting wise but people have a real addiction to 2k. It might aswell come with a Crack pipe
This is the beginning of the end for them, if they continue on the same path.
they are not gonna "do what they do". they are gonna do what you lemmings keep supporting them to. you guys are their trigger. dont get it confused.
This gave me hope for society.. The fact this company takes advantage of kids like this is sickening bro… Irresponsible adults CHOOSE to be this dmb, but it’s the fact that these companies are grooming KIDS into thinking it’s normal to spend this amount of money to play a video game that’s borderline criminal.. I think the nail in the coffin for this company is gonna be GRAND THEFT AUTO 6.. Yeah it’s gonna sell well on release but I got a strong feeling the micro transactions and pay to win in it are gonna be the worst we’ve ever seen.💯
i have no doubt the graphics and story mode will be amazing, the map and features too, but i already know gta online is gonna be even worse on players wallets. they grew money on trees with gta online in gta 5. i know in the investor meeting they told them they want growth in more micro transactions which aren’t even micro at this point😂
if adults are willingly spending their own money within the game then you can't really blame 2k for that. Microtransactions aren't a necessary, it's optional. The parents need to be parents and monitor their kids.
@@IllMatic97the problem isn’t letting adults gamble either but now it’s at the point that you cannot get the same cards at all that ppl who buy with money can. That’s just unfair and ruins a mode that ppl love grinding and getting their favorite players. 2k is just overwhelmed with greed and you have to spend for a CHANCE to get a player and not get who u actually want
@@swishdjrmy gta 5 experience was only fun on 360 ( after a money lobby lol) but no money spent online is so jank never any way to get the money without buying or a good mission u can run hella times
@@IllMatic97why do parents need to monitor their kids? If their kids earn something and they want vc for their gift why does that bother you? You just upset you can’t afford to spend. Quit if you don’t like it. I did! That’s the only way it’s gonna change 😊
I’m an adult and it’s hard for me to control my purchase impulse. So I know it’s extremely hard for kids to do it.
Yup. But u gotta treat it as if they are playing on ur intelligence and offending u to stop. Thats what i did. I got mad and stopped cuz i cant casually play without spending money.
@@ibiminaiyall forget about the vc glitches/exploits from 2k19-22 they will never forgive the community for that and will tax everything lmao
@@ACGBOOTStheir bad coding gets blamed on us lol. Dog ish company.
Kids Don't have that issue lmao. It's grown men and women doing this
@@gravediggassI’m telling these folks like bruh, kids literally don’t have money, parents permission is required every single time, adults the ones dropping 200 a player bc they can “get it back” off the next check
I just deleted 2k yesterday and I’ve never felt better, and I don’t plan on getting 2k25.
Same I refuse to support a game that does not support the community.
Same I deleted it to play CFB25 and I’m not getting 2k25. I grew too old for this childish shit, there should be no game that forces you to pay to play or basically be a slave and play for a month or 2 straight to max out your player
Same here
same bro i’m with you all the way enough is enough been playin online since 16 till now and it’s terrible
I still play the old 2k games on PS3 and PS4
My favorite game mode, MyEra, continues to get shafted because they just focus on Mycareer and Myteam because its lucrative.
facts
Yes bruh MyEra is the only thing that keeps me on the game
Whats crazy is my era is basically a face scan away from being my career
@@Tayzwayzmusic hell go on PC you’ll be able to mod it lol
What if I told you the the women 2k game is on a mode only they stuck in pergutory and have been there for years. Noone is even saying anything about that
Trying to start my career and pick my player but the purchase pop up that jumps up soon as you press X is cringy
Skip it don’t buy just grind wtf yall some lil females in these comments
@@dentrellwilliams2238u know how long it takes to level up ur player ? Shut up.. some of us work and have adult things to do.
Yeah grinding is definitely for 50-50 niggas.
2k better hope that EA don't find away to revitalize Live because if they do it's over!
EA is not capable of that. 1/1,000,000 shot that happens.
EA tried and failed twice lol
Even if they do you can imagine they'll have plenty of the same Bs with the micro transactions look at any other EA sports game. This comes down to the people if we band together and start boycotting the same bs every year they will make something different, happened to COD, Assassin's Creed just to name a couple when sales dropped they changed the game
Word Live 19 was the truth and better than 2k 19 and 20. I hope they do bring back Live!!!
Take Two is the greediest publisher in existence. Not even EA is as bad as they are.
Right. It’s impossible to score consistently in 2k24 if you don’t purchase boosts. They really taking advantage of consumers. I think that no one should buy the game anymore. It’s disgusting.
It's literally for streamers and people who make money off of 2k. Investing money in it to make yourself money online. Otherwise you're better off buying it to play 5 on 5 with your bros.
This is what happens when a monopoly takes over without any contenders, it’s always bad for the consumer. If I had the time, I’d start a kickstarter and find the OGs of EA Big to make another NBA Street like NBA Street Vol 2
Moved onto NCAA25 and have been having way more enjoyment. My overall gaming experience is based on me and not the quality of players I get in random rec. I don’t have to commit to at least a 30 minute gameplay and even more if you want to progress toward “legend”.
The lack of micro transactions in NCAA brings a sense of relief. I’m okay with companies trying to make money. 2k has forced people into a lower quality overall experience. It just feels predatory now while playing, and the fact it’s at minimum $300 to have fun for a year. It’s crazy
The amount of times I paid for the same tattoos man. Not only is the vc situation ridiculous, 2k stay making new games with the same content and charging you again and again and again
and you stay paying again and again and again... so tell yourself where the problem actually is.
@@kosmique you right bro. I’m the problem because I paid 5k vc every year for tattoos 😂
I hope more news articles report on this
People were flaming me for wearing 2k generics for most of 2k24.. I kept them on outta principle lol
After 25 years of 2K experience I’m officially done with 2K. I’ve seen this game in every phase and I know it won’t get any better. You’ll still have ppl out there who live on their knees for 2k. Them same ppl will validate any and everything 2k does. They keep Mike Wang and Ronnie 2K lights on 😂😂
You put your foot down. That shows growth bro. It's only right to support a company you love. But heres the thing. I dont love take two/2k no more. the boycott is in full effect.
😂the only people who go hard for 2k is mostly old heads who don’t care they buying 2k no matter what
Just like me@@piplonf8591
💯
It’s a game bro…..
Im really standing on business when I say I won’t be buying ’25
I don't think u realize how bad it actually is. Streamers have ruined myteam. 2k got rid of the player market this year. EVERY SINGLE card acquired is a predetermined chance at the card being advertised. Chances start at 0% Highest is 3%.2k was dropping packs every week. STREAMERS do $1-2million vc pack openings. But they HAVE to. Cause that's the ONLY way to show your audience the best cards. They ARE the ones liking and subscribing. So u spend RUclips money to show off in-game purchases. This year I played myteam till the end of season 6. I grinded every day after work. Spent $ every week for additional mt/vc for packs. I NEVER got a card I wanted. Not ONCE. 2k24 definitely opened my eyes. I'll NEVER spend that type of money on 2k again. Definitely not gonna pre-order and NEVER paying $100 again for the game
I play WWE 2K24 and I was grinding over 70k in points to buy certain cards in packs, and I never got the cards that were supposed to be in said pack. Worse they keep putting the same low level cards in the new pack to decrease your chances of getting good cards.
@@darksideonI deadass warned all the marks about this bc they were already doing it over here with the NBA lol. But ofc yk wrestling fans are just as equal of dickriders as NBA 2K fans lol
2k should be the new FUBU.
"F**K YOU buy us"
😂
Only the real know what you talm bout lmao😂😂😂
This article is for those who know nothing about gaming or know very little those of us in the know been knew this. I'd hope this would change to at the least the point of giving more for the money we pay. Cosmetics should be cheap not as wild as the prices get
Bro say it again! All the major name brand clothes are 10k+ vc! I spend 40k vc on an outfit all the time. Literally the price of a real t shirt (8.99 for 35k VC) it’s ridiculous! They should atleast let us keep the clothes we BOUGHT!
And yet yall will still buy Nba2k. I hope some fans wake up from the cycle.
they wont because they braindead
the last 2k i bought was 2k17 and i played 2k24 cause it was on game pass idk how do ppl buy 2k every year like stuff barely changed now im just enjoying different games instead
Yes, I'm still gonna buy NBA 2k because I don't spend money within the game. The game has more to offer than my career and park but thats the only thing y'all play, here's a tip either don't buy the game or play the game as it was intended to be, a basketball sim. Y'all be acting like you don't have choices, I'm not gonna stop playing NBA 2k just because certain people don't understand the concept of common sense. Nobody is forcing y'all to ante up the loot, so don't.
@IllMatic97 I stopped playing Mycareer. I only enjoy the Franchise mode, but I'm not gonna pay $70, I can literally wait for it to go on sale when it receives most of the patches and updated rosters and ratings.
We don’t have any other options… no competitor
no gameplay trailer
NBA2K: get your pre-order now
Same thing happened with Battlefront 2 back in the day. Ended up going to the Senate and they got rid of the micro transactions completely
Spider-man is a perfect example of making a great game without any micro transactions. There’s no reason why games can’t minimize the micro transactions.
I never pay full price for games now. Just wait for sale. I also don't buy battle/season passes unless I make it to the max level and realllyyyy want the rewards.
same, i wait till it’s 14 bucks or so on sale. even then it’s still BARLEY worth that amount
congratz on doing it right.
Spider man been out for the longest dawgy no price drop sit on the side line and never get it ain’t not wrong with 2k
I haven't paid full price for a game since Madden 2005/GTA San Andreas for PS2.
Sad part about this is even with this information ppl will still overlook, fall victim and then still spend money. The devs CEO CFO doesn't care about the community, we built them billionaires and they show us year after year how much they honestly don't care.
if they keep offering what constantly gets bought, thats actually what we call CARING.
face the damn fact that the problem is the consumer!
what is it exactly they dont care about ? an every individual's moral/opinion/feelings? they are not reading every string of text about them on the internet ...they are reading numerical values on their bank account. thats the only feedback that makes actual sense to a business. those numbers...that is truth; that is accurate information; that isnt a trollpost; that isnt fakenews; nor a bot; nor a meme; nor a shitpost; nor a reviewbomb; nor anything else other than hard factual evident numbers...! the yap yap yap wont do a thing! its all just chirping birds. literally. not that they choose to see it that way, it just IS. how are they even supposed to seperate the ones complaining BUT STILL PAYING vs those complaining and not being supportive !??! they're gonna roll with the bank numbers for A L L the reasons.
@@kosmique all your saying is that we as the consumers are the problem? You sound foolish you're saying we as individuals don't make up the community? AS INDIVIDUALS? BRUV go have several seats my boy buying what's being offered is caring? So if I sell you horseshit disguised as chicken because you was hungry that means I care about you? Goofy🤨.. You are part of the problem ideologies such as yours smh bank accounts that WE as individuals put our money into theirs in hopes that in good faith they'd deliver. Why can COD deliver GTA always on point we been playing the same cods and GTA for years but a game that they put out every year know the ways to damn near perfect it but still low ball us.
I’m not purchasing anything from 2k until it’s on sale and I’m only playing PlayNow and Franchise Mode until I have enough VC for a build. I love basketball but 2k doesn’t deserve my money.
Don’t buy 25
They still gon get your $70 for the base game roster update lmao. You think you hurting them by still buying the game? You are lost in the sauce buddy.
@@christian7344 vote with your wallet lol you can just update rosters on 24 until 25 is f2p or on a big sale you won’t be missing much
@@christian7344 it goes on super sale later in the year. I’m going to try to get the game around $20 if I can.
@@christian7344You comment the same thing on every video for likes. Ronnie is not giving you free VC bruh 💀
If this doesn’t wake up 2k to change things at this point there’s no hope
As long as there are losers willing to spend on VC nothing will change. The only thing that a company will listen to is losing money
From a business perspective you have to understand there is 0 incentive to change unless there is a massive influx of people that stop playing and spending money, that’s the ONLY way something happens
College football is cooking this game
That game is trash
@@justbrowsing4849Is it at least better than Madden?
@@BUPMY1 You right on that, Madden is trashier.
This been going on so long that’s why I lost love for 2k if it wasn’t for some streamers like you I would not know of the game salute to you
I stopped playing 24 after they deleted my build safe to say i went back to 2K23 i see more people on there thsn 24.... The micro transactions is to damn expensive... I'm glad 2K got called out for their bs
2k23 is lit now 🔥
When you go back and play 23 you realize how much better the game was in comparison to the drop off in 24.
How they deleted your build?
So you telling me the gaming community can give 4 billion but can’t invest into a new company that community driven or put together funds and hire a company
Start the movement lol
@@OfficalPrinceTonino need to no one would support
They didn’t even mention that the “free agent card” mind you this card is only for like 5 games then it disappears in a games is only obtainable once and never updated through the seasons
the ultimate downfall. we already knew it. but now, people outside the bubble get to know how aggressively this company operates. excuse my english 🙈
Yup and now its gonna be spouses and kids who wont be able to get the game cuz their counter parts and parents tell them no its too expensive to play.
2K reminds me why Greed is one of the deadly sins. What they're doing is straight up wickedness now, especially because they're affecting kids
I've noticed all of this years ago that's why I don't even play online competitively on 2k anymore. My step kids, during the pandemic when there was no school constantly wanting skins for fortnite and I would notice how VBucks cost so much but a skin is offset by that price which in turn makes you forget to realize how much you're actually spending. And then the explosions and lights it's just like walking into a casino, your eyes are wide You're adrenaline's pumping and your inner want is on fire. They know it and they knew that it was just dopamine for us... It's all by design.
That’s very sad it’s just letting everyone know who never played 2k if you get this game your wallet will be empty
It's time for PEGI to step up. That's the only solutions. There's no way that 2K can be labeled a PEGI 3 game. Making 2K a PEGI 16 or 18 would massively impact them.
The Athletic had a section on 2K in comparison to CF and you swear the person that wrote it is on Twitter, Reddit, def part of the community lol.
Totally agree, the computer cheat you put your money by only allowing you to win if you have a more expensive team.
Gon have to see when the game comes out. if almost half the fans don't buy 2k25 and stay on 2k24 then 2k will understand when they loose a lot revenue all this talk not doing it unless yall actually boycott. but not for a year but for the next 2 years
I stopped buying 2k two years ago. I’ve played “free” on gamepass and it feels like playing a mobile game with ads and non stop buy me tactics every time I would get on. It’s sad because I love basketball, playing with updated rosters, and the community. I wish these tactics could be a thing of the past. However, I doubt these tactics stop.
2K In my opinion has turned into the streets 😂 if you can’t bag it up and sell it “Content creator’s” there’s no real incentive for you playing the game
2K24 was the fastest uninstall for me since 2k18. Played it for few weeks and was done. I’m also done supporting this game. I would buy any other developers game if they could get NBA rights.
Same here I quit early too and thank god I had the physical copy to get my money back…..
-$70 base game
-$20 battle pass
-$80-100 to max out myplayer
This is a yearly game bro there is no reason people should have to spend this much
How is that any different from the almost $6 a gallon gas I spend at the gas station to fill up my car to go to work? How is it any different from the $250 grocery bill at the store when I don't even get that much food for that money? A can of McCafe coffee at Ralph's was $18 when I went a month or two back. I have to buy it off Amazon now that ish is so crazy. It's happening everywhere, and wages are not "going up" to match these ridiculous increases in everything. Fugg inflation, this ish is highway robbery across the board....
I wouldn’t be mad at the grind if it wasn’t a yearly release
2k knows most in this community doesn’t read soooo…. They’re definitely not worried about The New York Times, Washington Post, United Nations Chronicles
I only ever play NBA Today mode, I have a job, I ain’t got time for all that other mess….
WE DONE WITH 2k
Big trash
The fact they have a pre order before they even show you the game play lets you know they finna finesse.
Thanks for sharing, AllCity.
MY MAJOR PROBLEM IS THAT...WHAT NBA PLAYER IS COMING IN THE LEAGUE AT A 60 OVERALL😵💫🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ ITS MY PLAYER, THEY BRAG ON THE CHARACTER THE WHOLE BEGINNING OF THE GAME, JUST FOR YOU TO BE A 60 OVR... THATS WEIRD TBH... A FEW 2K'S AGO, LIKE ON 2K17, THEY LET YOU WORK ON YOUR CHARACTER WITHOUT VC USE...YOUD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST BE A LIL COMPETITION, NOWADAYS YOUR A 60 OVERALL IN THE TOP 3 DRAFT CLASS 😂😂😂 ...MAN I HATE 2K
Yea 2k done for frfr.
Microtransactions have really ruined a lot of good games. Companies used to care about how good there games were, now all they care about is keeping the share holders happy by bringing in as much 💰 as possible through microtransactions.. So called F2P games ruined "microtransactions" by pricing them so high its predatory.
Thank you all city
I saw the Jason Tatum screenshot and thought I was looking at a older version of the game. Like his jersey is floating on his shoulders still dude
YOU DO KNOW THE FOLKS OVER AT 2K. AREN'T FORCING ANYONE TO BUY THEIR GAME CORRECT ..... SEE I LOVED MADDEN BUT ITS TERRIBLE NOW SO I JUST STOPPED PLAYING BIT... SEE ITS. SIMPLE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T BUY IT .. MOVING ON
Ronnie bot spotted
Blow this video up so this topic gets more attention. Change is necessary. 🔥
Blow my comment up so people can see theres actually things they can do creatively to bring people back and make them happy
People have to realise it’s only 5-10% of the total players that are crying and saying “i won’t buy 2K”. If those 5-10% players leave the other 90% will still keep making 2K money 😂
5-10%? you buying this shit next year bruh😭😭 go ahead and spend 70 for the game. 100 to upgrade yo player. and extra 20-50 for some drip. oooop. you dont like your build? time to drop another 50? you like that cycle and think the other 90% does?? you crazy lol.
@@bryce.lawson Don’t get me wrong, i buy vc but i don’t cry about it. Hate to break it you, but you do know buying vc is OPTIONAL?
@@Gsynce thats the problem. its basically not. i dont have the time to grind my player in this game. its not rewarding. they force us to buy VC. you know how long it takes to grind a No Money Spent player?
@@Gsynce and you may not cry about it but i guarantee you that you aren’t satisfied after. there is still that gut feeling of regret. How many builds you got? How much money did you spend on 24?
@@Gsynceyou have absolutely no muscle definition lil man, maybe get in the gym instead?
I'm sorry but, the whole "tired of running with randoms? come join a discord full of randoms instead!" always gets me lmfao
this is why I buy the game a year later and get it for around 15-30 dollars on sale. I rather grind my career than give 2k another dollar more. Finally the media is doing something worthwhile.
It is crazy i remember a dude telling me this game isn’t for kids.
How bout a fantasy draft mode? Online fantasy draft and compete in a playoff tournaments.
How bout an online 3v3 mode where u play as nba players, you could grind to unlock legends. 2 game modes that i would be thrilled to see.
I've never spent money on a microtransaction in 2k in my life. all I want is a good franchise mode and fluid gameplay. they deliver neither. havent bought the game in 4 years
I've been gaming since the Intellivision; currently have 3 PS5s and other gaming consoles, gaming rigs and gaming laptops; These CEOs and Gaming companies wicked monetization tactics have turned me off of games. I now wait to see how a game is released before I purchase. I miss the days when gaming companies made a full game and wanted to see it's consumers enjoy and play each other, tournaments, arcade competitions, oh what fun those days were.
I proudly can say I left 2k alone after season 2 of 2k24. Have not looked back. Only thing I’m missing about 2k is the party chats.
As a huge Madden player ( not by choice) I refuse to pay for player cards MUT packs or anything. They don't update any parts of the game. Franchise mode has remained unchanged for years. I played online once and got DEMOLISHED because the other person had 99 players IN EVERY POSITION. I haven't touched it since, it hurts sports game.
I have never spent any money in NBA2K, but I only play REC and MyCareer.
Tbh … everybody complained for updates to fit them. So they update the game so much your MyPlayer build gets patched so you want a new build and then you finally figure out how to build a better build so you build a better build and repeat onto next year … MyCity should just be like Warzone free download and the rest of the game you buy every year.
With people complaining that they have to buy the $70 dollar game AND spend money in the game to compete, they're just gonna end up turning the entire game into a subscription model in the next couple of years... Make the game a $10 a month subscription or something like that and keep the microtransactions FLOWING
My boy said “ma-Lah-chee” 😂😂😂
lmaoooo you caught that
2k shuts the servers down to force players to get the next game.
The issue is the hard earned part of gaming is now 4 seasons behind what they are pushing to buy now.
I do miss the days you could unlock everything but im also understanding business. This is that THIS IS A GOT DAM SHAKEDOWN.
These type of articles come out every year before release. Yet yall still buy the game and feed into their corporate greed. Can we actually start a boycott for real??
EA needs to make an decent NBA Live. One thing 2k never captured was the atmosphere the NBA Live games had
NFTs are worth more than these cards. These transactions are NOT optional. VC is so lucrative if not buying it. 1,000+ for every game you play in MyCareer. That’s 82k+ that either goes to fake clothes in the game or skills.
As a person who has played MLB The show, FIFA, NBA 2k it’s out of control.
I realized I bought 2K24 10 times just based on how much VC I bought for different builds and I’ll never let them get me again. I want to play 2K and enjoy the game but this is gross.
What up city you said this a few weeks ago that 2k greed is going to be there down there fall now it's all coming into the light glad that these news articles are showing how they are taking advantage of there consumers big shout out to you for spreading the truth on how 2k really is once was a fabulous great game is now a big money grab salute to you brother
These same articles came out last year about 24. 2K content creators still buy and spend money on the game, which drives engagement - since everyone wants to stream. 2K will change nothing until the customer base makes them feel it in their bottom line.
I used to love 2K. I’m definitely one of the ogs that came from Dreamcast and enjoyed the evolution up until probably 2k20. I’m only playing it now because it’s free with PlayStation plus
I can't afford to do multiple builds anymore. I do 3, 1 when it comes out 1 after some trades and 1 after the deadline. This year I might do 2 at most because I know it's gonna count more.
In the early days, the VC used to transfer with your profile... once they got wind of that, 2K disabled that process.
Facts. They definitely use the same tactics as casinos. I was playing 2K recently and the first thing I thought when I got into MT was children should not be allowed to play this. It’s training them into gambling.
Madden gives ppl a free golden ticket (the best cards in the game) for free… 2k is beyond trash and doesn’t deserve a fan base
I get 2k almost every year, but I haven’t spent money on VC for the past 2 years and don’t t plan on it going forward unless they change drastically
and you have people like me that don't care about online and just play myplayer for myself never interacting with anyone else or needing to. Im just glad next gen is gonna be on pc finally
I stopped playing 2k after 2k17. Even though i never bought VC, I took my player straight to the park and use to smack vc heads lol being a brown shirt gives you super powers and dont let me get started on the 2k shoes.
2k16 was the best though. Shot meter, animations, defensive mechanics was fluid.
It would me awesome if games that had loot boxes were automatically rated M. It’s a very small step, but it would be good
Bro I remember when clothes went up in VC price. Ronnie2k said it was inflation. How is there inflation in a video game? Wild. Great content my guy
I really don't know how gamers fall for this.
NBA 2K is one of the only games I refuse to play online. I play my career and I don't spend a dime to make my player better. I just grind it out over the season and get better organically, the same way I do with any other game that you have to play to upgrade your character.
I sure hope that after this, once the 2k25 is going to be released, no one will buy at least for a month. This would definitely send a message to them.
I remember when 2k didnt have transactions at all. I haven't paid money for an NBA2K game since 2K12, and I never will. Same with Madden...
There is always a lot of negative press for a major developer that Microsoft wants to purchase. Look out for Microsoft trying to purchase EA over the next 3-4 years. Same thing happened with Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard
Unfortunately, no articles, tweets or RUclips opinions matter.
As long as NBA 2K is the ONLY Active, Relevant Basketball Video Game on Earth, *nothing will change.*
This is facts and people keep hyping up GTA6 like it’s not under the same company micro transactions will be in that game as well WATCH!!!! 😂😂😂
It’s heartbreaking to watch a product that was so pure lose sight of its purpose, to make a great basketball game. Game is riddled in transactions. From upgrading players to buying clothes. The illusion of spending is forced upon you.
