I get what you mean, but at the same time, if they don't do alot in terms of non-basketball, people will just say it's the exact same. I remember how upset people were when they didn't change the neighborhood for 2K19 and 2K20. They just ad whatever BS to try and beat the copy and paste allegations rather than improve the gameplay
College Football 25 having a file size under 30 gb is impressive. For some reason I thought it was going to be close to the 170 gb 2k24 is 😂 170 gb is literally insane
Current Gen needs to be 100% abandoned at this point. It’s been 4 years since the launch of the PS5/Xbox Series X/S, there’s absolutely no need to keep developing for consoles over a decade old.
@@kaels3262 for the last two generations, game devs gave up on legacy hardware after only like 2-3 years of the new console releases. I don’t understand why that’s not the same now with the current consoles being phased out, especially with the PS4/XBONE generation being the longest console generation out there.
What’s sad is I bet there are some 2K developers watching this thinking, “Damn, I wish they would let us make this game better.” It really does feel like a bunch of suits making decisions based on profit, and the devs just can’t acknowledge it because they want to stay employed. Truly a sad era for sports gaming.
the basketball in 2k is garbage animation filled nonsense. Nothing about it is a simulation of actual basktetball. Badges, stat limits in my player, animations, are those from suits or devs? Because those dont seem like changes made to monetize the game, those seem like changes made to gameplay by devs who think they are good. Its been a decade of getting sucked into an animation vortex when you are running around the court, everyone has demanded they fix this since the first time it appeared, they have never bothered. Is that the suits? For me all of the things I hate about 2k games is the actual basketball, which I think is probably the devs, not the execs.
@@dash4800 Management/executives are responsible for allocating resources to improve aspects of the game that they consider the highest priority, top to bottom. They know the game will sell, so why would they waste resources trying to improve the actual game when they could spend those resources maximizing monetization?

This is so much needed. I used to love playing ncaa and wondered why , instead of NFL , why 2k and other developers just didn't go to college to make games?
They need to completely abandon the park/city bs and focus on basketball gameplay. Focus on PNO, My NBA and other modes thats mainly about playing basketball
sadly this’ll never happen until ronnie isn’t the main dev. he’s doing the bare minimum because he knows that as long as they produce a bunch of broken my team cards and increase the vc prices a bit every few years, the game will sell and bring in a ton of money. you can tell none of these devs have ever played a game of basketball in their lives 😂😂
I want sports games to be a celebration of the sport’s history and culture. I thought 2k was prioritizing that with myeras but apparently not. The moment we get historical events and players out of the gacha modes in Madden, FIFA, and 2k is the day sports games will truly be back IMO
EA needs to tackle the college scene and create a college basketball game kinda like how they did the new CFB. That can be where people can see how the basketball game looks and plays and they can slowly get back into the NBA scene once the license is up with 2K and NBA. There is also no other college basketball game on the market so they can still gain a good amount of profit and not have to worry about competitors for the time being.
2K doesn't own an exclusive license to make NBA games. EA just doesn't see the benefits in making a basketball game because they won't be anywhere close to NBA 2K.
It already has, almost all major titles can be fully or close to fully taken down when the server is either shutdown or disabled. 2K has done it with their past games and Battleborn as well.
it's a silent majority game, 70$ tag with your starting player character at a 100$ and more if you want to create different players, the community are whales who generate record revenue every release.
They did that with NBA Live 19 and moat people didn't buy it. I personally still play Live 19 and think it's a more enjoyable game because there are no microtransactions. Live Runs 3v3 are also great (5v5 is terrible lol).
That's what happens when you have an IPO. The ONLY goal of the company is to make money. "By any means necessary." I personally think no videogame company should be public for that exact reason.
I tell people this every year. You get much more value if you just wait a few months. I'm more ok with buying the game for $20 and spending money on VC than I am buying the game for $80 and spending even more.
it's because they don't make much from the actual sale of the game....it's mostly (75%) from microtransactions. and it goes down to under $10 by the end of it's cycle (before the new game comes out) because they know they won't make very much from microtransactions that late in the cycle.
The all-digital thing does suck, but when brick and mortar stores want you to jump through hoops they are partly to blame. I was going to buy CFB 25 physically but two different GameStops flat out refused to sell it to me because I didn't preorder. First one I went to said I couldn't buy the game til Sunday because I didn't preorder. Went on my phone and was going to order one for pickup at another store near me and despite being in stock I wasn't allowed to pick it up til the next day... unless I paid for same day delivery then I could have it. I was blown.
My only hope is that CFB25 is motivating 2K to step their game up. 2K has a history of releasing crazy good games when there’s blood in the water. Every 2K5, NBA 2K10 and 11 to kill Live, NBA 2K14-16 to do it again. 2K21 at least out did the other sports games with their next gen jump.
You just made me think of something. EA very well could replace Live with NBA Street. It could still have online 3v3-5v5 park, hell it could even have a mycareer from streetball to the NBA. Somebody pitch that to EA that might cook if done right 😭🔥
if they wanted that format to work it would lose what made NBA street what it was. A fully arcade online park game wouldn’t hold long term. Especially if they include NBA gameplay as well
A few relatively minor things: The old generation version of NBA 2K is basically just roster updates and doesn't have much to do with the next gen version. On top of that, HD space isn't the reason for missing effects, you don't "run out of" HD space for court reflections and other things, those are missing for other reasons.
I haven’t bought 2K since 2K21 and I really can’t believe that y’all, the 2K community, are expressing the same things about the game that people have been saying since 2K18. Clearly nothing is changing, especially when it comes to micro transactions. Just stop buying the game yall lol
"Directly translates footage into gameplay" 🤔 where have we heard that before... A wise man once said: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me... If you fool me, you can't get fooled again."
something mynba eras needs to also improve upon is the change of jerseys and arenas especially in the 2017-2018 season with teams like the kings and cavs with their jerseys up until 2022/2023 so i'd like to see that fixed down the line
It would be amazing to see a game simulate 60's era basketball with accurate animations relative to the players of the time. The skills required to be successful would be so much different a probably a ton of fun to both play and watch.
@@ARealFreeAgent I actually never gave ‘17 a fair shake. I tried ‘18 and it was fine, but the graphics (on PC, anyways) felt like a big step back from ‘16. I’ll have to see if I can scrounge a copy of the game and run it back for myself.
I’ve been playing mycareer for as long as I can remember, but 2k24 was the only one that I couldn’t make myself get through the first season of the mode. It’s sad that basketball lifers, like all of us, have only one title and it’s the competition that pushes away. Not the competition from rival basketball games but the competition from better made games from other genres altogether.
@3:45 is everything wrong with the game, I’m convinced that Eras was Take Two telling the devs “okay you can have this one thing, but everything else is on our terms”
NBA street will not change 2Ks sales in the slightest or make them change anything at all. But a new NBA streets game would be pretty fun to play. We do need a competing sim NBA game though. That will make them change their ways and hopefully try again.
I came back to 2k after a while, turned on career mode and it was like walking into an interactive advert. I think fans have gotten way used to the idea of gatorade gyms, state farm (whatever it is, i refused to look it up), and dumb fashion vc sinks. It was so egregious that i just turnt it off.
I’ve been on a 2 year break, 20 & 22 were the last 2ks I enjoyed and before that 16-18 was the only time I stuck through consecutively. One can wish & hope for better
I tried the 10 hr College Football 25 trial and then fell in love and it felt like they actually put work into the game, it’s way more fun than 2K even though I prefer basketball but there is no good basketball game
There was a baseball simulator on PC (forgot the name) that allowed you start a franchise any year going back to the early 1900s. So it's beyond do-able in 2024.
I'm a NBA fan not a MyPlayer fan. 2K is not for me. I miss the developer focus of modes like Play Now, Blacktop, All-Star weekend and presentation. VC ruined everything 2K made me love it over NBA Live
Ive been saying the city holds 2k back from "Next Gen" potential because of the amount of resources being used. 2k has to get back to what made them #1 which is gameplay, graphics and features. And why cant we get a Mycourt back but last gen does?
@@gbmtboogie829 college football 25 has a stadium named university of phoenix stadium. A stadium that hasn’t existed since 2018 in a college game that hasn’t existed since 2013. Yet here your dumb ass is saying it’s not a madden reskin. What a clown show
Bring back Create A Legend. Update MyLeague. It’s way past due. Bring in player’s court side interviews again both in MyCareer and MyLeague. A split screen interview after the game w the TNT cast would be dope. Also, WNBAs popularity is increasing. I think they deserve more than just 1 season worth of play. Get rid of all the other BS like MyTeam, MyLeague online, MyGM and we don’t need to play Jordan’s most famous games every year on 2K.
Nice to see COLLEGE FOOTBALL 25 is now a very good game and much better than all Madden games since 13 to 25 and better than NBA 2K18 to 2K22 and 2K24. Lets see how NBA 2K25 can respond to this.
You hit on it with this year’s PC version being new gen: MODS! There are so many incredible modders out there and I have no doubt they can take 2K’s mediocre to terrible graphics and make them amazing. They’ll also be able to add missing players like Barkley, Miller, Sheed, etc. Let’s just hope this year’s gameplay is decent because that’s the one thing modding can’t really change.
Been calling the pay to play concept sinxe 2008. It was so easy to see that is coming sooner than later. Amd each year we are closer and closer. GTA showed them how it can work.
You are spot on with the NBA street part. Especially if it would have the option for a well worked out story mode based on movies like He Got Game/White Men Can't Jump, or any great basketball movie plot. I really hope 2K is at its ending, so other companies should step up and reinvent the landscape
I've also been upset with this for years, however, I preordered strictly for the 1yr subscription of NBA League Pass. As a Heat fan living abroad, that works well for me, plus I grew up around Vince Carter in Daytona, so this will be cool to me for that alone, but due to this being the last year of TNT doing the NBA, there will likely be a lot of shifting of deals next off-season. Plus, with PC proving time and time again to be far superior than console, it's likely the last sports game I buy for a PS5. Modding is so much easier and user-friendly now that it's just silly not to.
Gameplay feels far worse than madden. I feel like madden 25 is gonna be better because madden 24 is already better than cf25. Only reason to play cfb is because it’s more novel and a change up from the league story to a college story
@@raeshamouskeys3281 yall clearly just want madden to be better when right now its clearly not Madden ait wat it use to be so I don't even wanna hear it
The glory days of 2k do not APPEAR to be over. They have been over for years. Giving them this much credit for MyEras just shows how far the bar has fallen with them. They do one great thing a decade.
This is why I find it interesting that people are clamoring for a new NFL2K game. Even if the license was opened up and they could make that game, 2K has become just as bad as EA in some re$pect$.
Don’t be bullied into saying cfb25 is ass, over criticizing games is killing this shit.. we can see the improvement keep on being positive and give praise to them trying and giving and effort! Great vid once again
Gameplay definitely changed and you could tell in 2k24 just how great pro play is, and it SHOULD BE IN MADDEN. It would fix a lot of issues that the frostbite engine struggles with and bring real and authentic animation rather than just paying an actor.
Agree with this video, 2K could be so so much better but it just never is, doesn't even feel like I'm controlling a basketball player who's playing with a basketball anymore, the game has little to no control over dribbling and good play making, it's just pressing the same buttons over and over again and it never really feels dynamic or even that interesting anymore, and it's sad to see/play
I would love street to come back but that’s not changing anything, a good portion of people who play this don’t touch my career they playing my team and the arcade like street game wouldn’t change 2ks perspective on what they are doing. 2k needs what happened to college football and take some time off to produce a game that comes from love not greed they don’t even really have to take time off they can legit make 2k a live service for a few years being that they don’t do much but upgrade rosters and attributes anyway. Take that time to actually produce something that outclasses what they already make and set the trend in the market again
Also, I think EA should actually go after the college basketball market. They've done it with CFB 25, now they can do it with CBB. I think that would be a good competitor with 2K.
Former EA developers are currently working on a NBA Street Spirtual Successor called The Run: Got Next. Even if it's good, I'm not sure how an arcade style basketball game would compare and compete with a realistic style basketball simulation game.
My career needs to be offline again

And he's not playing guys. Mods for PC are great. Especially the model mods. Cyberface is mwah.

I came back to 2k after a while, turned on career mode and it was like walking into an interactive advert. I think fans have gotten way used to the idea of gatorade gyms, state farm (whatever it is, i refused to look it up), and dumb fashion vc sinks. It was so egregious that i just turnt it off.

They need to Make MyEras go to the actual bubble halfway through the season in 2020
They are going to cut back more graphics to squeeze in the unwanted WNBA features inside the unwanted city.
Voice of the people ✊️
I’ve been on a 2 year break, 20 & 22 were the last 2ks I enjoyed and before that 16-18 was the only time I stuck through consecutively. One can wish & hope for better
NBA Live to need make a comeback. 💯💯💯
2K needs to bring back creating a legend mode it was so good in 2K12
I would love to see someone release a new college basketball game personally
Same
2k is probably looking at the numbers of EA college football right now. Maybe by end of 2026, 2k might announce an new college basketball game
I tried the 10 hr College Football 25 trial and then fell in love and it felt like they actually put work into the game, it’s way more fun than 2K even though I prefer basketball but there is no good basketball game
Ben Simmons catching strays 😅
BBBBBEEEEENNNN SIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOONNNN-
It's depressingly sad to see where we are now in sports gaming across all sports.. exception being the show
There was a baseball simulator on PC (forgot the name) that allowed you start a franchise any year going back to the early 1900s. So it's beyond do-able in 2024.
It’s called out of the park baseball or OOTP
Out of the Park baseball is so much fun. I’ve sunk over 1000 hours combined between OOTP 21, 23, 24, and 25 lmao
Fan of 2K since 2k9 , but playing 2K now is not the same happiness can give to you unlike the old version
Ex EA workers are working on a game called The run: got next and it’s online 3v3 nba street successor. Coming out next year!!
I Came Here Literally To Say This. My Algorithm Recommended This To Me & On Facebook I Just Seen This 😂
Hella! Can’t wait for it
I'm a NBA fan not a MyPlayer fan. 2K is not for me. I miss the developer focus of modes like Play Now, Blacktop, All-Star weekend and presentation. VC ruined everything 2K made me love it over NBA Live
Everyone plz stop spending money on micro transactions for 2k we need to band together like the helldivers community
Love your honest and unbiased opinions!
Ben Simmons catching a stray for no reason lmao
Ive been saying the city holds 2k back from "Next Gen" potential because of the amount of resources being used. 2k has to get back to what made them #1 which is gameplay, graphics and features. And why cant we get a Mycourt back but last gen does?
I just want EA to focus on bringing back college basketball with the same details they did for football
I don't want EA to produce any sports games
@@novideostoday well 2k isn’t going to give me college basketball and EA actually did a really good job with football this time
@@justlogan6979they actually didn’t. The game is a madden reskin with all the same exact problems
@@EGuala21 nah they did yall just want to down EA anyway you can. CFB25 damn near might have saved EA.
@@gbmtboogie829 college football 25 has a stadium named university of phoenix stadium. A stadium that hasn’t existed since 2018 in a college game that hasn’t existed since 2013. Yet here your dumb ass is saying it’s not a madden reskin. What a clown show
Bring back Create A Legend. Update MyLeague. It’s way past due. Bring in player’s court side interviews again both in MyCareer and MyLeague. A split screen interview after the game w the TNT cast would be dope. Also, WNBAs popularity is increasing. I think they deserve more than just 1 season worth of play. Get rid of all the other BS like MyTeam, MyLeague online, MyGM and we don’t need to play Jordan’s most famous games every year on 2K.
Let us play myplayer offline with no limitations!
Nice to see COLLEGE FOOTBALL 25 is now a very good game and much better than all Madden games since 13 to 25 and better than NBA 2K18 to 2K22 and 2K24. Lets see how NBA 2K25 can respond to this.
4:45 don’t give them ideas
You hit on it with this year’s PC version being new gen: MODS! There are so many incredible modders out there and I have no doubt they can take 2K’s mediocre to terrible graphics and make them amazing. They’ll also be able to add missing players like Barkley, Miller, Sheed, etc. Let’s just hope this year’s gameplay is decent because that’s the one thing modding can’t really change.
we need nba live back to challenge 2k fr
Nba 2k14 was one of the best looking basketball games. The trailer shows the emotion. The lightning is what made me want a ps4 to play it on.
I wish THQ would make a NBA Game
THQ Nordic is kinda going through a rough patch if I'm not mistaken
Been calling the pay to play concept sinxe 2008. It was so easy to see that is coming sooner than later. Amd each year we are closer and closer. GTA showed them how it can work.
BABE WAKE UP SOFTDRINKTV DROPPED AGAIN
You are spot on with the NBA street part. Especially if it would have the option for a well worked out story mode based on movies like He Got Game/White Men Can't Jump, or any great basketball movie plot. I really hope 2K is at its ending, so other companies should step up and reinvent the landscape
Nba 2k is so bad these days and the company has become nothing but a grift. I hate that there is no competition
That's embarrassing
I've also been upset with this for years, however, I preordered strictly for the 1yr subscription of NBA League Pass. As a Heat fan living abroad, that works well for me, plus I grew up around Vince Carter in Daytona, so this will be cool to me for that alone, but due to this being the last year of TNT doing the NBA, there will likely be a lot of shifting of deals next off-season. Plus, with PC proving time and time again to be far superior than console, it's likely the last sports game I buy for a PS5. Modding is so much easier and user-friendly now that it's just silly not to.
Do a madden 02 retrospective
Walking around the city is like walking in GTA 3, with NO CAR
next gen version for PC, frickin finally ! I been wanting a basketball game to play forever
I get 2k now every year around this time when the game is on sale for $6. Not paying $70 for 2k again.
74$ bro in total
Nope not going to buy it either with the stupid micro transactions bull shit
College football is not all that
Neither is Madden
Yes it is
I agree they stripped everything out of dynasty and turned it into recruiting only
Gameplay feels far worse than madden. I feel like madden 25 is gonna be better because madden 24 is already better than cf25. Only reason to play cfb is because it’s more novel and a change up from the league story to a college story
@@raeshamouskeys3281 yall clearly just want madden to be better when right now its clearly not Madden ait wat it use to be so I don't even wanna hear it
The glory days of 2k do not APPEAR to be over. They have been over for years. Giving them this much credit for MyEras just shows how far the bar has fallen with them. They do one great thing a decade.
This is why I find it interesting that people are clamoring for a new NFL2K game. Even if the license was opened up and they could make that game, 2K has become just as bad as EA in some re$pect$.
thanks. However, if it doesn't have the classic Suns (Barkley) and Pacers (Reggie Miller) teams, then i have zero need for it.
Don’t be bullied into saying cfb25 is ass, over criticizing games is killing this shit.. we can see the improvement keep on being positive and give praise to them trying and giving and effort! Great vid once again
Thank you for the bangers SoftDrink i always wait for your review to decide if a sports game is worth my hard earned $70
Gameplay definitely changed and you could tell in 2k24 just how great pro play is, and it SHOULD BE IN MADDEN. It would fix a lot of issues that the frostbite engine struggles with and bring real and authentic animation rather than just paying an actor.
madden JUST added realistic running styles for certain players lmfao
2K needs a legitimate competitor. Until then expect year after year of low effort micro transactions
Agree with this video, 2K could be so so much better but it just never is, doesn't even feel like I'm controlling a basketball player who's playing with a basketball anymore, the game has little to no control over dribbling and good play making, it's just pressing the same buttons over and over again and it never really feels dynamic or even that interesting anymore, and it's sad to see/play
"this footage is so old, it had ben simmons scoring" killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
It you keep buying the game they won't ever meet your demands people, period.
I would love street to come back but that’s not changing anything, a good portion of people who play this don’t touch my career they playing my team and the arcade like street game wouldn’t change 2ks perspective on what they are doing. 2k needs what happened to college football and take some time off to produce a game that comes from love not greed they don’t even really have to take time off they can legit make 2k a live service for a few years being that they don’t do much but upgrade rosters and attributes anyway. Take that time to actually produce something that outclasses what they already make and set the trend in the market again
Ea needs to bring back college basketball !! Plus the street.
“In game costs” is an utterly insane statement, what a total shame where sports games have gone.
Also, I think EA should actually go after the college basketball market. They've done it with CFB 25, now they can do it with CBB. I think that would be a good competitor with 2K.
Especially with the women's game gaining traction. Put Both genders in and let the gamers go wild
The most fun I've ever had is playing nba 2k24 my era..started in the early 80s
Former EA developers are currently working on a NBA Street Spirtual Successor called The Run: Got Next. Even if it's good, I'm not sure how an arcade style basketball game would compare and compete with a realistic style basketball simulation game.
Great vid!!! We need nba street 25... and it can be a prelude to nba live 26.... make the story simple but in depth, so it can transfer over
