You asked how can they get away with making the same game over and over again. My question is why do people keep buying the same game over and over again and speding hundreds of dollars on a game that last for like 11 months. Thats insane to me. I miss old 2k. Love the vid keep up the good work!
I know it’s crazy, I think people don’t want to be left behind. If they don’t put money into the game it’s much less fun for them. And they would rather play a shitty basketball game than no basketball game even if it encourages greedy companies
i agree i stop buying 2ks just cause it’s literally same shi every year with minor adjustments 2k lies to us to often and majority of the community doesn’t even care they want u to spend $70-$150 game then spend another hundred on build up that you wont be able to access to in 1-2 years laters just so they can force u to play the newer 2k
Even during the years of 2k16 and 2k20 ppl said how those games were the worst 2k's of all time, then a few years down the line ppl say they miss the game, this always happens
Commenting for the algo, but you couldn't be more right man. Really wish there was more competition in the sports gaming market so companies actually had to care about the customer and not just getting as much money as they can from us.
😭 broo y’all literally do this every year it’s a constant cycle the new 2k comes out y’all say it’s trash as soon as it comes out talk shit about the game and then go back to the previous 2k that came out that y’all hated so much and say oh it wasn’t that bad like huh 😭 2k had got to be the worst community ever
Bro on 2k25 you start the game,*ad* then you close the add and by the time you press x again the 2nd add comes up but now you’re trying to buy something instead of opening mycareer. I deleted the game. They got one month out of me
2k16 was so fun...17 was decent but not as good as 16. 19 was the last playable one IMO. 20 and beyond have all sucked. 2k23 with the 6'9 PG meta was fun for a couple of weeks lol. 2k24 was the last straw for me. It was so bad on gameplay it was not fun at all.
@@CosmicYT9 Everyone just hypes it up so much on youtube then everyone continues to buy it and spend vc money...until the sales decline like 50% we won't see it ever come back to what it was.
I agree, I wish more people would start to boycott it. But I think everyone just assumes that nobody else will stop playing too so they feel like it’s pointless. Or they just don’t care enough lol
I think the only people that don’t like this game are people that don’t hoop in real life and just spam. This 2k is great lol you can’t spam, you can’t come out and make these builds that don’t exist in real life and dominate in park. Dudes come out in park with a 6’7 center, 5’9 guard etc. I have a 6’7 SG, I can shoot 3s, dunk, make 2s, pass, post and play solid defense. I’m not spamming dribbles but when I go against these small builds with 91 steal playing passing lanes I straight dominate them.
I saw 2K heading in this direction when nba live 18 & 19 was out. Those games needed a lot of work but no micro transactions and online was less laggy. Now 2K has exclusive nba rights. Maybe we get a college basketball game from EA.
EA makes MUT same money hungry strategy. It’s over every big corporation does the same thing game passes, in game currency, lot boxes. If the indie games could afford to do they would too unfortunately. The consumers allowed it and it’s here to stay
@@1504Blue have you not seen the madden reviews every year since MUT was created. MUT is the downfall of the franchise because they made billions off that mode they get lazy in other areas
shit is fire this year ngl. Builds are varying more than ever aside from 2-way 3-lvl creators. The grind is easier than its ever been, the game feels encouraging to finally make more than one build. PC finally has next gen, anti cheat, and playable rec games. I honestly cant complain. Shit is a massive W this year. Your arguments seem dated af.
Can't speak for MC so I'll speak my MyTEAM since that has been my mode. Having a team at an OVR disadvantage gets harder and harder to win every year. Progression without paying for VC gets slower and grindier every year. The progression/grind just no longer feels like it's worth it. It doesn't even feel like I'm making progress anymore unless I'm just cycling offline Domination matches the whole time. You can tell they're catering to gambling addicts and doing everything they can to put you at a disadvantage from the start. I never agreed with the "it's the same game over and over" argument because COD, for example, has a working formula and feels different enough each year for me. I don't want them to throw the baby out with the bath water. But I don't have to pay money or grind 200 hours to compete in COD, I'm more or less at an even playing field. With 2K, I'm putting hundreds of hours into a team that's not only gonna be harder to get back to in the next game, but the power creep throughout its life cycle is gonna force me to perpetually grind or pay money to keep up. Greed sucks, good video 👍
i think the biggest problem are all the youtubers that make a living off 2k. they need the community to play the game and want to make new builds and stay in the meta etc. so they get views. ofc thats understandable since they need to get paid somehow, but without the big youtubers stopping to endure this bs and calling out to the communiy to do the same, this will never end and 2k will keep getting worse
Yeah unfortunately as long as the content creators are streaming and making content people are gonna play because of FOMO (fear of missing out) they would collectively have to come together for the better of the game and community but we know that’s not happening because they get paid and a lot of them either work with 2k or are trying so yeah it’s definitely tricky and this is where they capitalize big time
yall hold these yotubuers in way too high regard. How about people make their own goddamn decisions on whats good or not? I dont believe for a second that the majority of players are swayed by yt opinions.
@@Megatraum504 you do understand kids play the game right I was just on with a kid no older than 10 years old bro was on a 60 overall trying to practice you think they are not watching the streamers I’m not saying it’s all their fault but they have a voice to where they could make significant changes in the community
That’s why I didn’t even bother with 25 and even when I did buy 24 I bought it for less then 20 dollars and didn’t bother with my career cause that shit is pay to win
There’s a method to get too 99 for free it’s a 2-3 mycareer method but don’t say you gotta pay to be good some people spend money and there still bad this game is very skill based
PROMOTE HACKING AND CHEATING it's the only way to get devs attention. Imagine if every year every player gets hacked VC and not need to buy anything other than the game. Might aswell jailbreak the ps store so the game is free too. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY
Nba2k21 next gen wasnt bad fr it was like 2k15 (everyone ran the same build, Demi god builds especially the 6’8s, easy to score, No defense at ALL and it was even kinda fast paced and EVERY BUILD WAS OP EVEN IF U WASNT A 6’8
Disappointed.. was looking more for an intellectual, objective mindset on the matter. You do too many comparisons to past 2Ks that WOULD NOT be loved if it came out today lol. 2K16 & 17 the “goat” until people remember.. - Missing greens - Ghost contests - OP steals w/ 25 steal rating - BROKEN badges (Silver better than hof) - Max height + wingspan demi gods - Iso dribbling to spam ankle breakers (worse than it is today) Like I can go on & on. Ya need to grow up, stop clinging onto nostalgia and realize the community/game has evolved. Competition has increased. Change is necessary. SBMM is the standard for ALL multiplayers.
I remember after every few games in 2k 19 you would get crazy amounts in endorsement money. Now you get endorsement money one and it’s a wrap. Not only that but your endorsements would give you extra vc if I complete certain task during the game like get a certain number of blocks steals and 3s made. They really don’t want you to make vc fr
bro complaining about ads all over the screen but doesnt show a single screen shot of an ad being on the screen lmao. L vid. L take. Trying to farm content from the detractor crowd 2k has every single year.
Unfortunately, if people keep buying the game, these issues will continue.
Yeah…as long as 2k is making money, they will not even notice that the players aren’t happy

They don’t know any better. Only games they play. Madden, 2k, cod. So it’s normal
Oh it's simple psychology mobile games do it all the time but they have a certain twist to it
You must be trash.

Every year yall do this and they still tap your pockets for the 75-150 😂
I’m keeping my pockets locked lol
Same this company is a joke@CosmicYT9
Lol I bought it cuz I bought a nother ps5 with it on it and I still feel robbed smh
People take the game more serious now versus when 2k16 and 17 were out. Paying for the build is the biggest key factor.
Yeah I think it was more casual back then
@@CosmicYT9nah it's more casual now cause you didn't have to pay play back then like you do now.
@@Zacdashocka truth they literaly hand you badges and u get rebirth
these content creators maxing out 10 builds and u got normal people doing the same thing
aye keep up the good work bro this came up on my recommended
Your comment means a lot bro, thanks!

This year I bought 2k14. I’m having so much fun
I pulled myself out the system 4 years ago never looked back
I still waste money on games but at least it doesn’t reset every year
Same bro, it’s hard because it’s pretty much the only option but maybe enough people will leave to make 2k notice
fire as video bro keep up the content
Thanks bro! Appreciate it

great vid hope you dont mind me sharing it on X this NEEDS to be herd even though i love 2k ( i love 2k because its the only option)
Don’t mind at all man, go ahead!
This is why we need NBA Live to make a return and make a good game, that’ll slap 2K in the face to wake up and stop the bull.
Only way they’ll listen is with money
ya right lmao. Why u think live dipped out in the first place? they too far behind. game sucks
they need to do everything 2k did in 2k16 myparks affiliations everything 2k will never do again
I think that each year, that it should be the company upgrading the game, to work better
I agree
Videos like this are needed💪
