@@samdadon3710Use skill points again rather than VC. Make a better storyline make it feel less soulless. Better face scans and bodies. When you go up a difficulty your team shouldn’t get worse while the other team gets better. Make the game stop forcing you to be the greatest player of all time. For careeer mode make the 99 over all an actually 99 over rather than an 85 overall.
The issue bigger than 2K copy/pasting every year is the fact they try forcing you into buying the newest version and shutting off the servers on the older games. I tried playing 2K22 a little over a year ago and couldn’t access anything, not even the myCareer that I put a lot of time (and some money) into. I will never pay full price for a 2K game again and haven’t bought one since.
That's not true, I can't remember which one it was, but one of the last few Madden shows the previous years logo if you look at the instant replay in the stands on the tickers. Might be more than one game
I still own 23 not buying another basketball until it’s actually different and has a good career story and not just buying it to grind all year to play park.
2k25 mycareer is petty good. You can do jersey swaps & they also give you dynamic goals to hit during a match. Id say its better than 23 & 24 mycareer.
As a PC player the change from current gen to new gen in 2k25 was soo good and the game looks amazing,I’m also amazed by the animations and other stuff, for me 2k25 was a big change😄
The care they put into the advertisement is reminiscent of the care they put into the product. Instead of giving the “special”, more expensive edition of the game it’s own original artwork, they just poorly copied and edited the original cover. That’s a pretty good analogy for the state of the 2k franchise.
2k is like the only sports game that’s not a copy paste. Each year actually feels different, can’t say the same for madden or FC. Obviously the basic mechanics will be the same, but the game of basketball isn’t drastically changing year to year.
I mean to be fair bc it’s an annual game it would be hard to make new features every year besides roster changes and that’s why I’m still happy with madden 23 and 2k22 and will be for a while
2k16 was my first and last 2k until 24 on pc ik it wasnt next gen but shit was fun asf had a discord where we had 6-15 people on daily run 3’s against each other sometimes so we dont go against cheaters run rec against each other picking teams with captains. 2k25 everyones more seperate now dont play together as much but the games popping and fun asf but it heavy rewards people that have countless hours to just fucking grind that shit out which i dont anymore. (Side note they giving out 100 copies of 26 to first 100 that make it to legend guarantee you 99% of them gone be TH-camrs that could either afford it because they spend 2 bands on the game anyway in vc or get the game for free)
Y’all hate on 2k because it’s popular. Now don’t get me wrong i dont always have fun on that shit, but acting as if 24 and 25 are the same is a damn lie the shit is DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT
Why can’t they just make one game bro, that’s the problem with fifa, madden, and 2k. They should do what efootball is doing even tho it’s still a shit pile like those 3.
I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure they just copied that first cover and slapped Kobe's face on the 2nd one. I am not saying it's not the same game every year though
My son and I started playing 2k24 amazing game then we tried 2k23 it was such a difference. Then I just bought 2k25 is better and different. They do improve the games
Digital designers messing up is not a sign of 2k copying pasting the game but yk what is? Up until 2k25 they would keep in useless assets in the game files that ballooned the game's size to the point 2k24 took up 180gb in storage.
Lol it’s funny because they’ll literally add one new thing, change something and make it more difficult and different then add something from each old 2k and say wow I think this might be the best 2k we’ve made. Brought back my court and etc…
I love basketball. But Nba 2k has been sooo disappointing in last years. I’m an old school guy who likes to play my career and grind solo, do missions, play nba career. But it’s been getting worse each time, harder to earn VC. They should separate multiplayer from single player.
proof that 2k doesnt greenlight anything like if they didnt greenlight the COVER of the game then i doubt they would do the same for the actual game lmaoo
Copy and pasting on the cover of the same year doesn’t mean they copy and pasting the entire game each year. It’s a basketball game. Idk what yall expect new each year. Regardless of quality they make a new story each year which that alone takes a lot. They add a new city, new clothes, hair(sometimes), animations on top of updating stats, face scans and adding new players each year. Between licensing and player likeness alone y’all needa be more grateful we even get all we get.
Its hard to not copy and paste nba2k considering its simply a basketball game with new teams every year but making it a overpriced copy is wild. Same applies to FIFA, Madden, COD(although it isnt as restricted to be creative), and more.
Atleast it's better than fc 24 nothing changes yall have your own life and career thing while our career mode does have it and doesn't change every year
Lol bought every year since 14 i believe, didnt buy it new , barely play 2k like that. When i saw it was already on sale , for 60 cad one month after release, i knew i made the right choice.
Man the new consoles are 4 years old at this point. We are more than halfway into this console cycle. It is way too unreasonable to expect the companies to make the games for the old consoles when we're this far into the new consoles run. Generally most games and series stop making games for old consoles 2-3 years into the new consoles run. This was the same going from ps3 to ps4. I think it would be better for them to stop making games for the current gen completely tbh. It takes up way too much time that could be used to make the new 2k actually finished and not garbage. They'll never do that because they'd lose money but it'd be better for fans
U know in every generation of console there is a clear cut 2k for that gen of console like ps2 is nba 2k6 ps3 is nba 2k11 or nba 2k14 depending on who u ask ps4 is between nba 2k16 and nba 2k17 there isn’t one for ps5
Yall gotta understand 2k has less than a year to create a new game each year, ofc they are going to copy and paste . Yall see how long it’s taking GTA give us a brand new game. Shits not easy.
The cover art is copy and pasted, if they can’t put in a little more effort on something as simple as that, why do you think they would put effort into the game 😂
I still don't get how it's a copy and paste, sounds more like poor editing/photoshop regarding the hand behind kobes head. I don't get how a hand behind a head can scream copy and paste.
@@WuzGud 1 minute ago lol but hes saying the hand from the cover of kobe going for a dunk is in the background of kobes head so they just pasted kobes face over it
It’s not from one game to another, it’s just two separate covers for the same game and considering that the background was the exact same it makes sense that they didn’t want to completely redo it so they just layered over the other image and didn’t spot the mistake. 2k still ass tho 🤷♂️
You know what they need to do.STOP PUTED KOBE ON THE COVER.No disrespect to Kobe but every year he is always on the cover,at least let some one else on the cover.
took a break since 20, game feels refreshing and new to me obviously. i recommend just take break for few years if you rly want a big change
Fr only reason it’s bad to people because they play it everyday all day
So there used to it
I haven’t played since 22 and I wish I could go back
people don’t understand there’s only so much 2k can do with a basketball
