My daughter bought 23 like this. When you open 22, it pops up, and puts you through to buy. I hadnt put a password on and she was only like 2. She picked up my controller trying to be like me while i was out the room and bought a legendary edition. I had 0 intention of getting 23 lol. Password IMMEDIATELY
They really started to lose me when they added the battle pass for a game you have to pay for from jump. Then you can skip tiers. And don’t get me started on the badge retention bull shit, I feel like that was another ploy to get ppl to waste more time grinding stuff that doesn’t make sense.
@@KicksTv_23that’s exactly what I said to myself bro. meanwhile a battle pass was just Thrown in out of nowhere. I get that 2K is protecting their business with the money they have but not putting enough effort into the game feels useless nowadays. They’re gonna get a lot of backlash in the next few years once we stop buying the next future 2K games 😂.
The biggest thing about 2K is shutting down servers 4 years (at the latest) after release. Buying VC is literally investing into rented property, the stupidest shit.
Bro this video is so spot on. I’m so glad I seen this video. It shows it’s more people out there like me. I swear I thought I was the only one. On top of that you’re a Detroit fan and I’m a Cleveland fan.
the mircro transactions and skill boost and gatorade ruined the game.. thats an advantage for those who are willing to pay for gatorade.. this year its hard to be effective against sweat teams without at least 1 type of gatorade.. the price to max out 1 build is insane etc.. the trash glitchy servers. thats my issue with 2k. i actually like the game play. but those things i mentioned above are the problem. its sad
@@MatriouseThaGod2k agree 100% i still enjoy the gameplay as well in offline gm mode. Still notice alot that needs work but still fun to play. Unfortunately we pay 73 to pnly play a small portion of the game we enjoy and the least profitable for them. Thanks for the comments
@@Games.Gadgets.Sports exactly we pay 70 for the game and then pay 100 to max 1 player.. I feel bad for all the 60 ovl and 70 ovl players in the park who just want to play with their friends in park and get smoked by 85+ovl players who spend money on vc. They should make parks for 60-80ovl and parks for 80-99ovl.. But they won't do that to force players to spend vc and max out their builds to compete. Shady tactics. I'm not even gonna mention the casino in MyTeam cause I won't even touch that mode.
YOU SPITTIN!!! EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. I thought I was the only one!!! Bro YOU NAILED IT with the shooting!!!! 2K makes no sense logically.
THIS IS WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS BRO, the original community become a niche inside of itself, if the general public continues to complain we could finally get change 🙏🏾
i hear your brodie ! personally , this is my last year with 2k, i’m pretty sure . i’m getting older , im working at night and running my social platforms and projects in the day … i don’t have as much time to game in general , let alone spend a ton of money on a game that the creators don’t even care about . and they obtained exclusive rights (or so i’ve heard) from the NBA in 2019 , so im starting to wonder if that’s why EA hasn’t made a move on them . because literally ANY company could make a basketball game and it would make MILLIONS, simply because people are sick of 2k and their practices. Good vid tho man .
Always love a good 2k rant. Everything you said was spot on. The worst part is, we paid $60+ for the game but in 2 years they stop supporting modes. Mycareer doesn't work anymore in NBA 2k22. What other game in life has modes that stop working after time passes. The VC use to switch to skill points like in the old days but now they just delete the whole mode????!!!! I want a refund. Dont pay for 25.
I'm strictly a mynba eras player. The game is good but it seems that they focused more on the online microtransactions. There are things in my eras thar kill it for me at times. One big one I can think of off the bat is the carmaelo Anthony Denver Nuggets nit having their baby blue jersey and instead having their 90s jerseys.
@@Jordan_balling MyTeam mode on 2k15, 2k16 was so amazing, because it was so simple. When I started to play 2k again I couldn't believe what they did to MyTeam, too many unnecessary cards, modes, etc.
I have yet to take a full year off, but I plan to this year. Been playing since elementary, 2K7 - but I cannot justify spending so much time and money on a product that they clearly don’t care about. It has been and will remain to be all about money, not basketball. I’m good.
I’m still rocking nba 2k18 and many people gave that game backlash but hey I like it🤷♂️ the newer 2ks seem too slow for me now and it’s annoying having to learn new shooting every season
my career hasn’t been good since they made it where you choose what team you go to. that idea is so wack imo. playing to improve your draft stock before the draft and getting drafted to a random team is so much better
You also hit the nail on the head with the shooting. That's another reason I'm done with the game. Shooting was so difficult it made the game unplayable for me. I loved MyEras, but I'll admit I'd played the 90s era so all I focused on was in the paint baskets.
Thing is. People keep trash talking 2k every year but still buying the game and quitting the game 2 months later. If the game is that bad don't buy it. Simple 2k24 = "Im done playing this game" 2k25 = "let me get a preorder" Aids
@@gabewright6603 but if it’s trash don’t buy it. Ea sports. People stopped buying their game and they learned and now they working on improving. If you keep buying 2k they going to as yall say “ keep scamming”.

Why im honest about it but still say i do still enjoy the gameplay and the mygm modes and they have done cool things like myera modes but the incomplete teams ruin it a tad for me and some of the recycled commentary ive heard from games ten yrs ago is getting tiresome then the microtransactions ugh here i go again lol its worth $39.99 to me no more.

Nice video. 2K should be free to play but from their perspective, why stop selling it for $70 if people keep buying it? I think the worst problem is the lack of competition. We need another NBA video game or 2k has no incentive to be better
@@kolbeleonardo1682 their will not be a NHL rant as i rarely play the hockey games to know any better if its all the same or not. Ive bought maybe one on day one eions ago to point i cant remember. I actually bought last years for like $9.99 and played a couple games and liked it (but hadnt played it for many years) so i wouldnt be a good guy to review or rant on the nhl game. Im such a noob that i think its all new 😂..... Im sure it isnt but i wouldnt be able to tell
2k24 My career is one of the most unrealistic parts of the game they take out college and the combine just as throw you into the NBA and then will tell you to pick a team and let's be serious you just pick what color jersey you want. Then automatically want you to be in starting 5 when you just joined. There is no struggle anymore it should be hard to get on the NBA and you should try to do everything to stay on it but now Idk I don't even wanna win the championship because it's just a waste of time but guess what do get when you beat it a ring and jacket you will never wear.
I agree i like the struggle but its dumb to go into the nba a rating of 60!! Cant even make a layup and then they give u no vc to move up hardly at all unless u buy more vc $$$$$$
Same bro been buying it since 2k11 religiously and this is the first one where Im not gonna buy it. I keep telling my boys don’t buy it but they like getting suckered lol
I never play on line. I'm pure franchise player. My Eras is what I play. I think for nba2k25 that gonna have a all new era and I think they gonna go way back. So I hope that's the case.
@Games.Gadgets.Sports I'm just waiting on next week when they have the mynba eras deep dive. I just strongly believe they gonna go beyond the 80:s in the all new eras.
I can't stand the shooting. I had a 7 ft center with 85 shooting, and I would miss SO MANY shots. Open or not. It's just frustrating, I'm playing a video game. Allow me to live out my fantasy lol the other thing that annoys me, is the computer is lights out
@@rontellem1547 yea man for sure. I def want some competition and some skill but when u cant make even a slightly contested shot with kobe its laughable!
I agree with all you said . This game is very good in the first month or 2 n then they always mess with the game by Tampering with steals then every time you jump online they change the shooting . Then they have event ls that can only be won if you boost the servers
Thank you thank you thank you it never fails with this game the game will feel kinda new the first two or three weeks then here comes the update that just ruins everything at this point it’s just a quick hustle for them every year I’m not into my player I just play the regular nba or wnba season and what’s crazier is when you change the setting to your liking then when you play the game you’re like noting even changed they don’t give a damn it’s been years since they did they feel they’re too big now to really care.
@@doeb3 they’re always breaking the game every year same thing and we keep saying I will not be buying 2k next year and guess what happens I’m definitely guilty of that but it’s something about 2k24 that just made realize it’s not worth it for me anymore I feel they cater to the younger generation and I’m good with that but us old heads just want to play a regular nba game no my player I haven’t played my player since 2k16 I don’t like micro transactions I’m not about to spend my salary on no digital clothes I can spend that on my kids real clothing and shoes this rant is coming from a 49 year old gamer dad.

@@Hermitthebeatapprentice well thanks! I think alot of us are having the same type of feelings on 2k its just hard to totally stop playing because many of us love basketball to much n 2k knows it. Why i said ill probly still snag it but on a steep sale my max is 39.99
We're pretty much in the same boat. I used to be on Live in the 2000s and transitioned to 2K when they started to get good. But after years of playing 2K and getting burned by their greed, for the first time, I'm not hyped up at all. The biggest factor is 2K24. The Mamba Challenge only had seven games! There's not a lot of Kobe in MyTeam. I mean, what are we doing here? I'm so upset. I'm considering not getting 2K25, or at best, buying it on sale.
@@therealnoelyulo i hear u LOUD N CLEAR! I think they half assed the Kobe edition big time! They could make some amazing tribute games like they did jordan for so many players past n present even honor full teams!
This my last 2k. I’mma be playing gta 6 until I can’t anymore and then I’ll THINK about buying another 2k. Im tired of 2k not putting in effort. I’d rather they just have one game and update it and make changes as if it was a new game over time like gta does until we get a perfect basketball game.
Was a live guy like you, made the jump at 2k8. Always played offline with 2 buddies since then. Created rosters when it was trash. Anyway.Tried myteam last year, never before. Put a few hundred hours in it, but the same players were recycled again. Wasn't interesting, the challenges were a chore. Never playing that game mode again. Not excited about 2k25 either, they couldn't even create a selling point narrative this year. They recycle the game like the players in myteam. Hey here is another magic johnson this is a little bit better than the previous.
@@zoltankecskemeti1653 then they do dumb stuff like make cards that switch players to goody positions they arent built for like for example a couple years ago i got a ben wallace and they swap his position to a sg.. dude was useless as a sg position
Yes and also many blind fans who buy the game every year and supports DLC, loot boxes and micro-transactions. Visual Concepts and 2K Games have no reason to improve the game yearly anymore.
For me, I’ll never forget getting 2k13 on Christmas and having so much fun with it. I loved how you would tap square and step back. And the dribbling was so much better than it is now.
the constant barrage of microtransactions is unreasonable, it should genuinely be illegal to charge $100 (AUD) for a game only to put ads everywhere and force everyone to spend money on vc just to have a player that isnt dogwater after 100 hours of mycareer. why cant we have a competitor this game is a scam
@@Taxthechurch Good on ya man. I still enjoy the gameplay offline and they have done some gd things but mostly the vc and microtransactions rule the game and less innovation every year
I always say I not supporting I I do the thing is I love basketball. And we all love a new product. I subscribed to u. I just want to grind and enjoy. But they getting worst each year.
@@Nikired44 hey man i agree!! Why ill buy it but unless they put in something big like the kobe challenges last year or something like that ill wait for a steep sale.

That 04 Pistons team beat my NJ Nets that season in 7. But I agree, that team is decimated. Didn’t even give them a decent bench. Where’s Okur, Mike James, Hunter? Even the 02 Nets.

Man ill tell you now lol, its no ryme or reason. I like to always stay under the salary cap thats my goal. I try to pick players with solid defense and have a couple solid all around offense players and a quick center! I dont like stacking my team so its a challenge. I find it fun to try to build a solid team with alot nobodys and cpl gd players like my pistons usually have to do!

@@RecencyBiasRadio true statement! I am not either unless they drop something huge. Im a sucker for classic teams like whwn they put in the 1992 dream team a few years back. But their "new shooting" and 9000 animations is not getting me..
This will probably offend some people but you have to be a fool to continue supporting NBA2K. A company who BLATANTLY treat their fanbase badly year after year. They literally want their players to be addicts, even going as far as putting casino machines in the game. A basketball game. I noticed the new "premium version" 2k in the digital store is over $200 AUD lmao. They don't even care. They know the addicts will keep paying more to be treated like fools. The longer people keep letting this company take advantage of them, the longer it is until we get a respectable basketball game. Making it not fun to play MyCareer was a clear sign where everything was heading years ago. Edit: LMAO Just got to the end. There are so many GOOD games outside of the sports genre.
@@kenlen8029 thanks for the reply, u make good points! N yes their are some good games just so many nowadays come out incomplete with needed 80 gb day one patches, half baked and takes years to fix them or not what was advertised. Not to mention many specially sports titles trying to shove pay to win vc n virtual currency. I remember not many years ago the game you got not always but way more often was great out the gate and micro transactions. And the bad games stayed bad but at least the whole game was on the media and you learned to trust that game dev or you didnt n they either got better or didnt make games anymore. These days game devs are either lazy or being forced to put out trash n fix it later mentality n its bs for the $ they asking for these games
I used to buy NBA2K on sight. From the very 1st game up until 2K17. I can't think of another business that does such a great job of chasing away incredibly loyal customers. Like, you really had to mess up pretty badly to turn me away from nba videogames but here we are. Not gonna buy for the 7th year in a row and that nagging feeling that i'm possibly missing out died years ago. It's just a shame that we are witnessing the shittification of not only games but just about everything.

I don't mind them making money just make the extra content worth it. Video gaming is expensive but way cheaper than going to a bar or out running around. They just need to temper down the greed.

@@lonniesmailman2896 always a few of you lol if u watch the video its a overall 2k rant not specific on 2k25. But per usual u have keyboard warrior types commenting without watching much of or hardly any of the video. Its all good though their will always be some trolls online. Take care
Shows they havnt done much or they know pll about had enough so going to bombard us with stuff last few says before release to pressure ppl into getting it. Little fomo action..
this new generation dont understand we come from an era when a game comes out it’s actually finished 😂in whatever needa fixing will wait till the next tittle game. patches and micro transactions easily a big problem for new games
Another thing is that 2k pulls a lot of money from 2 league. Which means we gotta pay up. AND IM NOT PAYING YALL TO PLAY A F’n VIDEO GAME. 2k NBA is the only game that shits down servers after two years. That’s criminal A.F. Because the game is now unplayable because completely tied to online. 9,000animations. Dog it’s recycled or cheap and won’t matter.
Yea shutting down servers that fast is just another way to get ppl to buy their next game if i remember right they did us dirty one time and shut down servers in one year if memory serves me right
I bet you if I come back to this channel on sep 9th you’ll have bought the game and this rant would be for nothing . Saying I’m not buying 2k is what get views at the moment .

You tube is just a fun outlet for me! Ill never just do videos of something just to gain views. My points about 2k still stand. Nowhere did i say im not buying it nor did my title state that. This video is just what i said it is a nba 2k rant and conversation about the downfall of 2k. First sentence i said was im not 100% yet on not buying it because 2k always holds back stuff till the end to announce something that gets ppl to buy it like the kobe challenges. If something like that drops again yes ill buy it but it doesn't take away from the bs 2k does. But as of now i wont be buying it new based on whats been shown so far.

And when they hyper focus on only the modes that make this game more like a gambling spend more money game it takes away from keeping the other things fresh.

I loved everything about this video. I’ve been buying my 2k’s off eBay or Mercari so I can still play basketball without contributing to 2k’s pockets.

I’m still rocking nba 2k18 and many people gave that game backlash but hey I like it🤷♂️ the newer 2ks seem too slow for me now and it’s annoying having to learn new shooting every season
2k18 was good but I remember there was a corner 3 glitch where you could green corner 3s automatically and it never got patched
my career hasn’t been good since they made it where you choose what team you go to. that idea is so wack imo. playing to improve your draft stock before the draft and getting drafted to a random team is so much better
