I have been playing 2K since Dreamcast. This year was the first year I didn't buy the game. They even sent me a free game code and I just game it to my nephew.
Thinking EA is gonna fix anything is stupid and you clearly haven’t played fifa ultimate team. Game is worse than 2k and even bigger scandals happen every year. Ea is the last company you want to create a basketball game trust me.
EA better get to work. This is their chance to steal 2K players back. They don’t have to kill us with micro transactions because Madden already does that 😂
2k got that NEW 2k FIFA Soccer DEAL....nba 2k25 got no TIME to be Working on the NEXT BASKetBALL game....its FEB 19 2024 ...and 2k said Nothing about the GREAT STUFF they putting into the NEXT.....they WILL RUN that GAME tehy Run with EVERY YEAR
Me quitting 2K around 3 years ago is the best decision I've made in my short life as a videogame player. I got to find new genres of games I fell in love with and genuinely enjoy like RDR, Assassin's Creed, Cyberpunk, FIFA, even Fortnite again. I'm glad I got outta this BS loophole and i wish some other people could create something to compete with 2K.
Because at the release of every year, people buy the 250k vc pack to make a build. If vc transfer they wouldn't get all that profit from the release and buy of that vc.
I pulled a Kareem from a pack and played with him for a week... turned the game on one day and he was completely gone from my game, couldn't even buy a new one cuz he was gone entirely.

should i Get nba 2k26 on the ps6?..cuz MIKE WANG told me to Save MY MONEY up for a PS5..2k Not Really Showing Crazy INCREDiBLE STUFF that the PS5 CAN DO??...why get 2k on the PS6?
Right another company makin a whole other basketball game would be lit, created players and a created my career it’s own park and rec would be litttt. The game could have its own story to it to give 2k competition
2k25 will be my LAST 2k, all the homies agreed lol. Last 2k, then we playing GTA6 FAX. Only spending 20$ which will prolly be impossible to play cuz it’s 2k. Just to try it out, if ass, we playin ONLY Play Now. Just like what I did this year. And maybe myteam if they don’t make it ass again. Which is CRAZY to say, 2k T up. Expensive for no reason.
You DO have to make a game just for the license. Dozens of games come out and fail specifically because of this. Even the NFL which allows non simulation games to be licensed fail because what people want is LICENSED SIMULATION. Your pokemon analogy is bad because pokemon themselves are made up where as the players we follow in the sport are not. We have 20 years of evidence supporting this.
It's a huge scam they change the builder around every year and add new badges and animations so that you create one player just to find out you can't get this badge or animation and then incentivize you to make multiple new builds through rebirth to spend more money
I don’t even mind spending money. The problem is the price. On 2k16 I could make a complete build in under a week of grinding for only $20-$30 to max it out. Now it takes $200 just to max out one players
Yall keep buying this ass game ofc they're going to do this, do something else, avoid playing this shit game, that's the only way that they will learn, when it starts to hurt their pockets, yall could try some roblox basketball games like "RB World 4" and "RH2 The Journey" they're pretty much 2k Park/REC, but in roblox, ofc the graphics are worse, but at least it's free and the devs care abou the game
I’ve been thinking this for years. Most people are playing 2k for the parks. Anyone game developer could make a street/Fictional pro league game. Especially if they partner with someone super popular like Drake, 21, or even Kai Cenet. Let them get a ownership deal. Promote the game like an album. It may not replace 2k but it would do numbers.
You can say whatever you want about spending money on VC. That doesn’t change the fact that nothing will change until the consumers stop buying the game all together. 2k did this bs with WWE 2k20 and people weren’t having it so they refrained from making 2k21 and when 2k22 came out it was a much better game.
Fortnite also isn’t a $70 it’s literally FREE… 2k is a AAA game that cost $70 at launch, essentially forces you to not only buy VC but also a damn battle pass…. it’s pure greed.
I mean let's go back to nba live. Where you can build multiple builds for no Vc. Yeah, the gameplay isn't current, but it's still fun to play. I think Ea needs to step up and deliver. Maybe a college game it doesn't have to be the NBA.
All of the yt guys complain but STILL play the game😆… when y’all gonna understand that they not gonna change unless the money does ( idk if I’m buying vc anymore ) every year that’s all I hear 🤣🤣🤣
I personally dont like getting online in the park, i wish 2k would let you do a myplayer offline, like one where you dont have to be online in order to play it! I have enjoyed the mode in the past and i feel like the buying the vc to make your character better just ruins the game, them ppl should be on their own server... have a server that is dedicated to non vc players would be cool, and more enjoyable in my opinion, but i doubt they would be willing to do that... for example i can still play ncaa 14 Road to glory mode( which is basically their version on myplayer for a football game), i can start a new one or continue any of my saves that are set to offline mode!! I wish i could do this on 2k... i was getting the urge to play a 2k bball game and i didnt want to pay up for 2k24, so i checked my games and realized i had a 2k21 laying on my shelf so i was like cool ill play this... i get it installed on my series x and load it up, click on myplayer mode and i get a message pop up that says "you have to be connected to the internet for this mode"!!! I was disappointed to learn this, as they have shut dowm the servers for this game, but at least i had and old save i could play from a saved season i had from 3 yrs ago, but myplayer mode was a NO GO unfortunately!!!
What is this opt-out option that Badge is talking about with this new TOS? I was just planning to straight drop the game at the end of the month but can I opt out of the class action clause?
2k just isnt a fun arcady basketball game its just the more realistic it will get the worse it will be. And eventualy when 2k starts dieing they will bring back an old 2k remastered just like COD did
The Fortnite/COD comparison is so insanely stupid. All of their micro transactions are cosmetic skins that don’t affect gameplay at all. Meaning you buy stuff if you want it. In 2k you have to spend $100 after you buy the game just to compete with other my players no matter what skill level you’re at.
The last nba live was better than 2k. No one barely bought or played it and even though everyone complained they all keep buying 2k and only 2k so other games cant compete.
bro look at the gameplay this game is shit 😂😂😂they failed after 21 the game looks cringe i hope someone makes a good basketball game i hate not wasting sleep to play 2k they are just so money hungry and dumb now it breaks my heart but i dont gaf #NBALIVESAVEUS
2k right now if you want to improve and that people are afraid that one day your build will be deleted you should put the VC free and if at some point 2k deletes them we don't have to worry since we didn't lose money or anything because what's the point of spending money and time if 2k wants to do what they want 🤔
I've been saying that if GTA6 online put a park basketball mode like how they did tennis and golf in gta5 and do it well, it could put 2k outta business. @rockstargames do it please
Go to my gym and work out it takes 7 days to be able to go back and workout that’s not even realistic so I get off the game for 7 days cos I don’t want my character skinny
What are the qualifications to opt out? Do I have to be a streamer etc? Also I’m not angry at 2k. More upset with myself for spending so much money and time on a game. I hopped off for years but when I came back there was so much community pressure to win, hit shots, so I started buying boosts and making new builds and it became a natural habit. I then realized I am acting ultra competitive and spending money on a video game that brings me no assets, no value. I don’t play as much and don’t take it nearly as serious anymore.
Appreciate the update. I haven't played since about November because the game is so stale and money-driven as always. Really hoping NBA Live gets resurrected somehow.
On the day that they hit us with the new TOS we should all not agree to the new TOS and just close the game. They can change the TOS but they can't force you to agree to it or play the game or spend money on it.
Ok ima speak for the current gen players-there’s permanent choppy courts in park and rec for different players it has nothing to do with anyone internet, dunk meter doesn’t work AT ALL even with takeover/99 driving dunk unless it’s an open dunk, attributes cost way more then next gen and next gen players has more attributes then current, events don’t even let us play it. They really made current gen on a budget and nobody cares because most people have next gen.
Also something I noticed is that towards the end of the season it's harder to level up, so to me it seems like they're trying to force people to buy levels. I'm not lying that it's harder to level up because my friends who recently got the game could not get past level 1 after 15 park wins but for me it took me 3-5 games earlier in the season which seems pretty fishy to me.
roblox does this already. I know alot of people see roblox as a lego game but its some lowkey quality basketball games on there. Fun and not wallet heavy.
4:18 what this guy is talking about also happens on a platform called Roblox as well, those Ro-Basketball games have been able to rack in thousands of concurrent players consistently and they have been able to generate hundreds of millions of visits, despite not having NBA licensed content within those games. and those games aren't free either, the most one will cost is five bucks, but the developers end up making millions off of them because the games are good. just throwing this out there to inspire devs to compete with 2k
If i was the owner of 2k i would did what fortnite did bring back the old stuff i would bring back 2k20 2k16 and 2k17 for atleast 1 month to keep my players happy
Man 200k to hit 85 is DIABOLICAL

I think if the grind in the game, is more then 30XLonger then the grind on minimum wage salary to purchase the shit it should have to be legally labeled “pay to win”
Exaxtly. Segregation would be good here.
I have been playing 2K since Dreamcast. This year was the first year I didn't buy the game. They even sent me a free game code and I just game it to my nephew.
🧢
Thinking EA is gonna fix anything is stupid and you clearly haven’t played fifa ultimate team. Game is worse than 2k and even bigger scandals happen every year. Ea is the last company you want to create a basketball game trust me.
EA better get to work. This is their chance to steal 2K players back. They don’t have to kill us with micro transactions because Madden already does that 😂
You ain’t lying ea got a chance 😂
I don't spend money on Madden lol
@@seaniveroni5579 ok. Hundreds of thousands of people do.
@@derrickstone4030 yea the content creators... but u don't have too it's not hard to get a nice team
2k got that NEW 2k FIFA Soccer DEAL....nba 2k25 got no TIME to be Working on the NEXT BASKetBALL game....its FEB 19 2024 ...and 2k said Nothing about the GREAT STUFF they putting into the NEXT.....they WILL RUN that GAME tehy Run with EVERY YEAR
Servers shouldn’t get shutdown simple, we spend too much money on a game just for 2 years play time smh 🤦♂️
even nba live mobile allows you to transfer your coins from season to season
2k literally has to be the wealthiest company..
take two**
The moment they added the City to 2K I knew it was just downhill from there
Nah its a cool concept but lame asf.
The city is great
@@frankrizzo8799 it’s cool till you gotta take 15 minutes just to find a game
Me quitting 2K around 3 years ago is the best decision I've made in my short life as a videogame player. I got to find new genres of games I fell in love with and genuinely enjoy like RDR, Assassin's Creed, Cyberpunk, FIFA, even Fortnite again. I'm glad I got outta this BS loophole and i wish some other people could create something to compete with 2K.
Yes the 2K loop hole is such a waste facts
I always wondered, how come 2K never let VC transfer over to newer versions?
Because at the release of every year, people buy the 250k vc pack to make a build. If vc transfer they wouldn't get all that profit from the release and buy of that vc.
Because they would miss out on like a billion dollars in vc purchases
Ah, thanks for the info guys
Wait so if you don’t agree to the terms you can’t play online?
Even when I go on my long 2k breaks it’s always entertaining hearing news about it, Keep going bro‼️
Thought I was the only one
Knew my buddy was cooked when he spent $300 on packs and didn’t pull Kareem
I pulled a Kareem from a pack and played with him for a week... turned the game on one day and he was completely gone from my game, couldn't even buy a new one cuz he was gone entirely.
2k needs its palworld
2k got that NEW 2k FIFA Soccer DEAL....nba 2k25 got no TIME to be Working on the NEXT BASKetBALL game....its FEB 19 2024 ...and 2k said Nothing about the GREAT STUFF they putting into the NEXT.....they WILL RUN that GAME tehy Run with EVERY YEAR
W vid
should i Get nba 2k26 on the ps6?..cuz MIKE WANG told me to Save MY MONEY up for a PS5..2k Not Really Showing Crazy INCREDiBLE STUFF that the PS5 CAN DO??...why get 2k on the PS6?
Right another company makin a whole other basketball game would be lit, created players and a created my career it’s own park and rec would be litttt. The game could have its own story to it to give 2k competition
2k25 will be my LAST 2k, all the homies agreed lol. Last 2k, then we playing GTA6 FAX. Only spending 20$ which will prolly be impossible to play cuz it’s 2k. Just to try it out, if ass, we playin ONLY Play Now. Just like what I did this year. And maybe myteam if they don’t make it ass again. Which is CRAZY to say, 2k T up. Expensive for no reason.
Wow this 2k just went down hill every season
You DO have to make a game just for the license. Dozens of games come out and fail specifically because of this. Even the NFL which allows non simulation games to be licensed fail because what people want is LICENSED SIMULATION. Your pokemon analogy is bad because pokemon themselves are made up where as the players we follow in the sport are not. We have 20 years of evidence supporting this.
It's a huge scam they change the builder around every year and add new badges and animations so that you create one player just to find out you can't get this badge or animation and then incentivize you to make multiple new builds through rebirth to spend more money
I don’t even mind spending money. The problem is the price. On 2k16 I could make a complete build in under a week of grinding for only $20-$30 to max it out. Now it takes $200 just to max out one players
Not to mention the constant purchases of skill boost and Gatorade I don't use skill boost but you need Gatorade if you want to dribble a lot
Yall keep buying this ass game ofc they're going to do this, do something else, avoid playing this shit game, that's the only way that they will learn, when it starts to hurt their pockets, yall could try some roblox basketball games like "RB World 4" and "RH2 The Journey" they're pretty much 2k Park/REC, but in roblox, ofc the graphics are worse, but at least it's free and the devs care abou the game
W vid🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been thinking this for years. Most people are playing 2k for the parks. Anyone game developer could make a street/Fictional pro league game. Especially if they partner with someone super popular like Drake, 21, or even Kai Cenet. Let them get a ownership deal. Promote the game like an album. It may not replace 2k but it would do numbers.
2k is in shambles
I stopped playing 2k this year, a mobile game called Hoop Land is deadass better and they're working on a career mode too.
Hoop Land? Never heard of it, might try it out though.
Insane
You can say whatever you want about spending money on VC. That doesn’t change the fact that nothing will change until the consumers stop buying the game all together. 2k did this bs with WWE 2k20 and people weren’t having it so they refrained from making 2k21 and when 2k22 came out it was a much better game.
Fortnite also isn’t a $70 it’s literally FREE… 2k is a AAA game that cost $70 at launch, essentially forces you to not only buy VC but also a damn battle pass…. it’s pure greed.
I mean let's go back to nba live. Where you can build multiple builds for no Vc. Yeah, the gameplay isn't current, but it's still fun to play. I think Ea needs to step up and deliver. Maybe a college game it doesn't have to be the NBA.
All of the yt guys complain but STILL play the game😆… when y’all gonna understand that they not gonna change unless the money does ( idk if I’m buying vc anymore ) every year that’s all I hear 🤣🤣🤣
I personally dont like getting online in the park, i wish 2k would let you do a myplayer offline, like one where you dont have to be online in order to play it! I have enjoyed the mode in the past and i feel like the buying the vc to make your character better just ruins the game, them ppl should be on their own server... have a server that is dedicated to non vc players would be cool, and more enjoyable in my opinion, but i doubt they would be willing to do that... for example i can still play ncaa 14 Road to glory mode( which is basically their version on myplayer for a football game), i can start a new one or continue any of my saves that are set to offline mode!! I wish i could do this on 2k... i was getting the urge to play a 2k bball game and i didnt want to pay up for 2k24, so i checked my games and realized i had a 2k21 laying on my shelf so i was like cool ill play this... i get it installed on my series x and load it up, click on myplayer mode and i get a message pop up that says "you have to be connected to the internet for this mode"!!! I was disappointed to learn this, as they have shut dowm the servers for this game, but at least i had and old save i could play from a saved season i had from 3 yrs ago, but myplayer mode was a NO GO unfortunately!!!
What is this opt-out option that Badge is talking about with this new TOS? I was just planning to straight drop the game at the end of the month but can I opt out of the class action clause?
2k just isnt a fun arcady basketball game its just the more realistic it will get the worse it will be. And eventualy when 2k starts dieing they will bring back an old 2k remastered just like COD did
The Fortnite/COD comparison is so insanely stupid. All of their micro transactions are cosmetic skins that don’t affect gameplay at all. Meaning you buy stuff if you want it. In 2k you have to spend $100 after you buy the game just to compete with other my players no matter what skill level you’re at.
Yea 2k won't die just like cod wont. The formula is just right to keep people playing with minimal effort n production value
The last nba live was better than 2k. No one barely bought or played it and even though everyone complained they all keep buying 2k and only 2k so other games cant compete.
bro look at the gameplay this game is shit 😂😂😂they failed after 21 the game looks cringe i hope someone makes a good basketball game i hate not wasting sleep to play 2k they are just so money hungry and dumb now it breaks my heart but i dont gaf #NBALIVESAVEUS
2k right now if you want to improve and that people are afraid that one day your build will be deleted you should put the VC free and if at some point 2k deletes them we don't have to worry since we didn't lose money or anything because what's the point of spending money and time if 2k wants to do what they want 🤔
I've been saying that if GTA6 online put a park basketball mode like how they did tennis and golf in gta5 and do it well, it could put 2k outta business. @rockstargames do it please
Been playing since 2k on Dreamcast u guys complain way too much- have fun and get hobbies outside the game u goofs
Its the same story for all video games now it seems somethings gotta be done
Swear I would be so done with 2k if someone created a good game without the NBA involved. We need to go against the machine
If your Not signing the New Agreement Feb28th, how will you be able to play the game next year 🤔
i’m just glad this year is on gamepass so i don’t gotta buy a $70 game that’s worth like $5
Go to my gym and work out it takes 7 days to be able to go back and workout that’s not even realistic so I get off the game for 7 days cos I don’t want my character skinny
What are the qualifications to opt out? Do I have to be a streamer etc?
Also I’m not angry at 2k. More upset with myself for spending so much money and time on a game.
I hopped off for years but when I came back there was so much community pressure to win, hit shots, so I started buying boosts and making new builds and it became a natural habit.
I then realized I am acting ultra competitive and spending money on a video game that brings me no assets, no value.
I don’t play as much and don’t take it nearly as serious anymore.
Appreciate the update. I haven't played since about November because the game is so stale and money-driven as always. Really hoping NBA Live gets resurrected somehow.
i keep getting stuff i already have from my daily spins.. anyone have the same thing happen?
I dropped 2k months ago and started playing single player games best thing I could’ve done
I’ll never forgive 2k for resetting my rep my back rookie haven’t touched the game in 4 months smh
On the day that they hit us with the new TOS we should all not agree to the new TOS and just close the game. They can change the TOS but they can't force you to agree to it or play the game or spend money on it.
My build is a 77 overall takes 200k vc to go from a 77 to 91 smh
Vc is definitely outrageous!!!
Make 2k great again hasn’t been an enjoyable game since 2k16-17
Ok ima speak for the current gen players-there’s permanent choppy courts in park and rec for different players it has nothing to do with anyone internet, dunk meter doesn’t work AT ALL even with takeover/99 driving dunk unless it’s an open dunk, attributes cost way more then next gen and next gen players has more attributes then current, events don’t even let us play it. They really made current gen on a budget and nobody cares because most people have next gen.
Current gen is budget but i honestly havent had choppy connection or lag once the whole time ive been playing
Maybe if we start at max 70 over we can bc is free and you have to grind to 90 ovr
You can buy ovrs 20 a price to make ppl grind
Vc prices are insane to upgrade a build & to buy clothes!!!
Also something I noticed is that towards the end of the season it's harder to level up, so to me it seems like they're trying to force people to buy levels. I'm not lying that it's harder to level up because my friends who recently got the game could not get past level 1 after 15 park wins but for me it took me 3-5 games earlier in the season which seems pretty fishy to me.
Man we need NBA live back asap, please save us EA😔
roblox does this already. I know alot of people see roblox as a lego game but its some lowkey quality basketball games on there. Fun and not wallet heavy.
something that made me mad at 2k was the fact that 2k24 on steam is 2k23 but worse
4:18 what this guy is talking about also happens on a platform called Roblox as well, those Ro-Basketball games have been able to rack in thousands of concurrent players consistently and they have been able to generate hundreds of millions of visits, despite not having NBA licensed content within those games. and those games aren't free either, the most one will cost is five bucks, but the developers end up making millions off of them because the games are good. just throwing this out there to inspire devs to compete with 2k
Ea sports with FIFA are actually way worse
I hate 2k man its sad it use to be fun to play.
If i was the owner of 2k i would did what fortnite did bring back the old stuff i would bring back 2k20 2k16 and 2k17 for atleast 1 month to keep my players happy
