      @Daniel Rodriguez these microtransactions are always going to be part of the game but to be honest with you I have been earning like 700 to 1000 per my career game and I've only been playing 5 minute quarters and I'm still in the g league. I'm curious to see how much I'll be getting when I change it to 12 minute quarters in the NBA. They added gold bonuses in each game that lets you earn to this point up to 300 extra per game so it seems like the grind isn't as bad as it used to be.

      1. You don’t play the game.
      2. This game is more than its online experience which is awful.
      3. As a whole it is legitimately better than past titles with more things to do than sending 2K your wallet. Some people are mentally weak and only want things easy. I play MyNBA though so keep that in mind.

    I don't understand how they made LA Noire like 10 years ago and it had one the best face mocap and animation to date and why these game companies dnt use the same technology. I dnt know cos the facial animations in these NBA games are so stiff they always throws me off given that it's supposed to be a graphical showcase🤦🏾

    Not trying to defend 2K, but are any of you in the comments even play the game? Or is it just a trend to hate on 2K now, granted they have been greedier over the recent year, but 2K is nowhere as bad as EA, at least 2K focuses on the game’s fundamentals and nail them before focusing on micro transactions. And It is definitely not a casino lmfao.

    Sorry but you also forgot about the lag issues plaguing the game as well as rep not being properly given(seriously it's been 3 days and still I'm at 1.6% on over 20 games,smfh),to top it off there's still way to many double teams in games vs CPU and you could easily rack up over 20 assists every game due to the dumb A.I. leaving their man open,and on transition the A.I. still will NOT cover the players going towards the corners fast enough even though they're on full sprint,it makes no sense why all of these problems still exist in well over 10yrs,when are they gonna get it right?,I guess just like a Tootsie Pop,the world may never know lol

      @Capacchio ... Are you not a sports gamer? Or do you want more development time for sports titles? More importantly they won’t stop because they have to put out a ‘fresh looking’ (not really ‘fresh, new experience, different’) game to keep to sales going - licensed sports games spends millions to acquire the license, and the best way to recoup cost is micro transaction and a new shiny cover that says it’s ‘new and made the current year’. Only consumers that are wise will not spend money on VC or buy the new game. I won’t be getting PS5 and haven’t bought 2k since 19, and I won’t be buying 2k21 because I already see the same gameplay issues.
