This shit isn't negotiable. Having working multiplayer (last years always get shut down) and up to date accurate rosters is crucial. EA/2K got these people by the balls because there is no competition due to exclusivity. It's really fucked up and sad for sports ball fans. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago I'm a nba fan though, and I just stopped playing basketball games because I got tired of paying for roster updates. And now monetization is even worse so genre is dead to me. So as a former fan of 2k I don't understand having to play the games so badly that people keep paying for it every year. That applies to any game or franchise. If it gets bad enough that I detest it I'd just move on from it even if no option pops up. Especially one so predatory on top of being an annual release. permalink fedilink source parent
