Steam players hate NBA 2K24 almost as much as they hate Overwatch 2 (www.gamesradar.com)

Can't you just keep playing year old version? Like NBA22 or NBA21, skip a few years in between?

    There’re definitely roster updates and other little stuff that gets added and tweaked in the new versions as much as people like to meme about “same game”. The old versions don’t update so that’s how they get new sales. Kinda bullshit but that’s what it is.

    PC gets a special short straw though and is the last gen version of the game despite PC being on par or better than the new consoles. 2K knows where they make the money and do the least everywhere else. That part is definite bullshit.

    certified toxic.

    I think call of duty did that thing recently, where Modern Warfare 2019 got "deprecated" so peasants buy MW2. I am done with tit.

    Yeah the lack of effort is just too brazen nowadays. Instead of making the new thing better they just make the old thing worse.

    But as long as consoles keep selling, these companies won’t be stopping. Terrible

    Sports games are one of the few genre where it might make sense as a gaas approach. Make 1 game for the console generation and sell roster updates every year. Add in micro transactions for the dumb stuff and it seem to be a win win all around. The game gets cheaper meaning more people will likely buy it. No one has to complain it's the same game every year because it would be by design. And devs wouldn't have to crunch every year to get the game out.

    Totally agree. Shoot, even when I was still buying them I’d wait til they dropped to like $20 mid-season. It’s more of a DLC at that point which makes more sense considering what we get

    Many people do. Yes, there are those that buy every year but I genuinely think they are the minority. You gotta think, even if only 1/3 of all the 2k NBA fans buy every three years, that's... still a lot of sales.
