No, definitely not, unless it's much cheaper or less time-consuming to bring a MyPlayer to a reasonable playing level. I skipped 2023, due to the shameless VC cash grab. I even resisted the temptation to do what I did to play 2K22, which was to buy the super-discounted premium edition for $20, where it came with the 100kVC included. Not ideal, but affordable. Sure, I WANT to play the newer versions of the game, but I'm not going to pay $70-80 for the base game, then have to pay ANOTHER $50 per character to make them reasonably playable.

@@2genders-tk2uenot true. The problem is capitalism at its finest. Sports games used to be fun online the problem is mainly 2k bc only 2k makes you have to really pay in order for you to enjoy a game mode that’s pathetic.
I bought it. It's not worth it. Still to much traveling. To many stores to go to. Took away alot of Kobe shoes so you can pay 10k to wear. 90% same cosmetics. Ugly a** rec uniforms, that make me not want to play. 25th anniversary and no Iverson anything. 😢
My issue with NBA 2K as a whole, compared to other sports games, is that I always feel my players move too fast / too sensitive. Someone has the ball, and I go towards them, my player goes from left to right for example, but it's too much to the left or right. It's nearly impossible for my player to not move so damn much, and as a result, players past by me.
This is the #1 issue on defense for real. It was very controllable 2k20, then 21 had HORRIBLE sliding on defense and they’ve never been able to completely remove it yet
Exactly. And when it’s vice versa and you’re the one with the ball, you can barely blow by the defender even if you aren’t touching them.(even with the attributes and badges)
@@CJ-fq2cfif you’re struggling to stay in front of your man and they’re staying in front of you it sounds like a skill issue or your settings/badges are totally off
@@zz2611 or maybe the game is glitchy? You sound like someone that only plays park. I can tell u never played HOF difficulty because if u did you would know that ever since 2k22 the ai are glitchy af on HOF difficulty. If u create a shifty build with good ball handling and play against HOF ai just watch the feet of the defender, they literally slide across the court when guarding u and slow u down without touching u, despite you having high speed with ball attributes. Just test it out yourself
In the last couple of 2K’s I swear that players move faster than their legs move. It’s been so annoying cause everyone is sliding all over and there’s nothing you can do about it cause the speed at which they move is ridiculous.
bro i noticed that too 😂😂 players move like 10 feet over, but only took 2 ACTUAL footsteps.. first it drags them to start moving (at this point they’re 4 feet over without any steps) then they actually take a couple footsteps, then to stop moving, you get dragged another 4 feet to actually come to a stop 😂😂 … on 20 NONE of this was an issue.. with all the tech and internet improving, HOW TF do you decline… it’s been 4 years since 20 but 21&22&23&24 are all WORSE than 20
First time ever I have not bought NBA 2K started out on the Dreamcast my first year ever missing! Feels like I lost a yearly tradition, but microtransactions VC stupid Quest, them catering to park people instead of foundational players who made NBA 2K what it is. So far it looks pretty much the same since 2k21 next gen, maybe next year might be a leap but that's probably a leap too much to ask. I say this was sadness my first NBA 2K ever missed.

Yea I was thinking the same thing it’s probably best to just get 2k every 2 years especially cause last year they actually ended up adding 2k23 to psn subscription for free lmao
I've been playing 2k for 20 years since dreamcast. I lost love for 2k the last few years. This the first time I haven't pre ordered the game, neither have I purchase it period. By this time last year would of already dropped around 250 plus on a build. Game hasn't changed in 3 or 4 years. Not wasting my time or money on 2k this year.
😂 That's what we all get for shitting on NBA Live ! Live was The Best Basketball game over 20 years hands down from The Sega era To about 06 , 2k still hasn't done a Dunk Contest , Live 05 had a whole all-star weekend Three point contest and all , I was never a 2k guy intill thats what was only available 😂 The foul shooting for Dreamcast when it first came out 💀lol was ass .
This game actively discourages grinding and experimenting with other builds. Its taken elements from RPG games and injected it into a basketball game behind a paywall.
One thing that wasn’t mentioned in the video is that he is playing on console which supports next-gen and has story mode in my career and supports pro-play. You’re not going to get any of these features on PC just be aware of that.
The controls are outrageous they make it so hard with this dribble combos and every dunk attempt I make and lob just bounces away, they make the controls so complicated and yet charge you full price for this game
@NBA2KTutes Man you are the realist person out here with these 2K videos. I normally don’t even leave remarks because I don’t feel it’s worth my time, but you my friend keep 1 thoa wow, (means you keep it better than 100) with the comments, so I had to leave you a comment. Your comments push me to buy the game. Screenshoot this to NBA2K and tell them people out here buying the game because of you! Thanks Homie! You have my subscription!
I just picked up the game yesterday (10/22/23) for $47 after tax via Amazon for PS5 and for someone that’s been essentially playing every year mostly in MyTeam and some franchise, I was pleasantly surprised at how fun the on-court gameplay is. I started my Wizards modern NBA franchise and I even played a bit of MyTeam offline. Overall I’m happy with the game as long as I can keep myself from spending on mtx.
I stay away from the online gameplays, so I mostly be on My career, is it worth it ? Like is the storyline actually good ? If you’ve played it at all ?
@@DOUBLEA21x Sorru I havent played my career since 2K14 made me rage. I play only MyNBA and it is fun. Worth buying the game now since it’s on sale literally everywhere.
@@DOUBLEA21xI don’t have 2k24 but the game is always way more fun offline. Specially playing my league with customizable sliders to make it more realistic. You can create your own player and use player lock so it would be like a bootleg my career without the storyline. But since storyline is what you like then go ahead and play it im sure you would enjoy it but I think it always gets repetitive
Not gonna lie the lack of reviews and explanation of new content has me worried that this is not gonna be a good year. Game releases tonight and nobody has reviewed it yet? I've heard almost nothing about MyCareer improvements and changes.
That's intentional, 2k's marketing is all about hype and not about substance, just like their game. They don't want actual gameplay out there bc the games just a revised version of the previous year and it would hurt pre orders.
@@herpiegerbstick6808 That's why it scares me because I've seen games not allowed reviews before release and 9 times out of 10 they're doing that because they know the game isn't gonna review well and that will hurt day 1 sales.
Same here. I love mynba and honestly all game modes especially mycareer. I feel like it’s still possible to have a no money spent build being that players like us play different game modes witch in turn gives us different incomes for vc !
@@justlivinginthematrix6260 agreed!😂 + one good thing about mynba is i legit get 800 vc every game i play with 12 minute quarters so its basically like im playing games in my career but im not at the same time
For me lay up meter n new animations is a game changer been playing every single 2k since dreamcast i played one quick game last night n yes it definitely feels different not the same game
They didn’t buff paint defense they just nerfed the hell out of finishing.. can’t dunk the ball worth a damn without being taken out of your animation and the shooting is damn near impossible without meter.
What 2k needs to change from a dedicated 15 year 2k vet..... 1. They need to stop showing peoples stats in games, completely and go back to how it used to be in old pro am. 2. They need to put the PA commentators back in rec/pro am and actually use our custom names like old proam which was rec. 3. They need to completely remove greening dunks, and go back to the old dunking system. 4. They need to remove crossplay. 5. They need to remove the rep system and go back to road to 99 without dropping people back down for a bad game, remove rebirth tokens and only allow rebirth on specific builds as opposed to any build, too many ppl running around with 99s they grinded in a day. which leads to 6. They need to remove badge regression and let people pick their badges again. 7. They need to completely redo dribbling and deal with the dribble spamming issues as soon as they arise, crack down on exploits as soon as they start. 8. They need to keep the season system but make the rewards much better, people love free stuff, however things we get from the rep system should be rewarded in season while certain things everyone will want should always be attainable like +5 to all stats should be a reward for hitting 99. 9. They need to keep their servers fixed and up to date and Never adjust latency it should be done perfectly the first time. 10. they need to give back the ability to speak to the other team in rec, that should only be taken away in proam, too much hostility is created among team mates ppl forget who the opponents are, speaking of hostility...11. They need to completely remove the black to purple ranking system, and also remove anything that shows a persons season levels, when you create so much separation you encourage people to sell eachother, trash talk eachother, and of course refuse to play with other, the community is toxic because so many players get treated like trash, that was never the case in old rec which was called proam, it was no squads all random, nobody saw anyones stats and people came out there to try and win, there were rarely and fights or sellouts. 12... they need to not make vc cheaper, keep stats and clothes expensive its fine, but they need to pay alot more vc for accomplishments in game, even if you loose in park that should be a guaranteed 1000+ vc, my career should pay well over 5000 vc per game just for the win, and rec and proam should pay well over 10k vc per win, then the amount of vc you get for each price should be raised by a little bit. To remove the pay to win aspect season rewards shouldnt give anything that helps in game, that should come with the 99, the grind to 99 should be alot harder, capping anyone and everyone at an 85 and making people work to level up, by doing so there will be alot more diversity, everyone having a 99 in the early days of the game is just boring, and lazy. 13. They need to put intimidator back in the game, they separated it into two badges, for interior and exterior defense. Because of that foolish move we have 6ft shooters pulling up threes over 7ft shaqs and lebrons with no worries. And with the ability to pick your own badges we would see alot more diversity in defense as well as offense. 14. They need to automatically give certain badges according to height, weight, and wingspan. Things like intimidator should be auto with someone really tallk, really strong, or with really long KD like arms. 15. They need to ban not just the accounts, but entire ip addresses, some computer games like pokemon do this all the time. Ban them for hacking, boosting, or using any sort of cheats or modded controllers. Using a 3 strike system until they get perma banned. 16. They need to completely remove banning and punishing people for quitting games. Most people dont mind ai players on their team and speaking of Ai players. 17. They need to nerf ai players ability to shoot, and change the tendacies to just stand at the 3 point line, even ai players with a 25 3 pnt shot hang out at the 3 line and green 3s left and right. They need to add more tendacies to things like iso, setting picks and screens, and post ups, also handles, the ai players should be no different than in my career. 18. If the other team forfeits you should still get all rewards earned up to that point. 19. They need to fix the openess, directional, distance, passing sliders, they are broken. 20. Lastly, they need to start communication banning people for racial slurs, threats, and believe it or not, bullying, its become a huge problem in 2k and has even lead to people being killed, but they dont talk about that, being from south chicago i know multiple people who were killed over online beef started in 2k. The number is likely in the 10s-20s every year..... Bonus 21. They need to stop using kobe as the face on the cover, its insulting to one of the goats after he has passed on. Fix the game first then use it, but chances are, Kobe would be mad they took that honer from top prospects and players who had dreams of being put on the cover of 2k, its a thing.
First time I'm riding the bench ever for BOTH madden & 2K.... the micro transactions & same BS forcing me to wait until later in the year when it DROPS... if at all
I play team up primarily. Would you say wait or buy now? My goal is to get to the highest tier (greates of all time) and unlock the OG rosters to play people online with.
Bro it’s such a bid disappointment. 2k sell your company or something cause you’re losing the game. I remember the 2k17 being legendary and now it’s just a big L
Practically hilarious how im able to play NBA2K11 MyCareer offline on the Wii till now but i cant do the same for the newer games 🤣 NBA2K has legitimately threw away every community besides online MyCareer and MyTeam 😭
I’m an mynba eras guy. Guess I’ll continue my hbcu league. Hakeem Olajuwon is still playing in 2005. I drafted him in 83 and his son and puppet son are in the league. 2k has its problems but still better than madden. Hell fifa got more and I just played soccer game for the first time since og xbox.
@@Zytate lol good point. and i know EA is just as bad as 2k. but the trailer and the fact that’s it’s rated M for the first time ever had me optimistic.
(+30 Year LA Lakers Fan/ Legend NBA 2k22) I said I will pass on 2K23 until I see how they honor Kobe for 2K24. MJ had 15 moments including NCAA moment and a Team USA moment in his game mode last year. Now 2K24 has 7 moments for Kobe (he couldn't even get 8 like his Frobe Number 😅).

They don’t have next gen on PC and the current gen version looks identical. I’ve been playin 2k since 2012 and this is gunna be the year is skip sadly. EA needs to make an NBA game to force 2k into actually giving a shit again.
What about people that on play MYNBA and play now modes, but they play those modes every weekend? Is the gameplay much different than last years version? Do plays actually work this year? Most of plays didn’t work last year, so I ran a high pick and pop offense.
I feel robbed…been playing for 4 days and lost all my badges except for 3. I feel heartbroken 💔. Can’t believe they added this to the game. The game does not feel smooth like 2k22. It feels clunky I paid so much VC. I’m done playing today. It’s clear they are only about the money. I will just play fantasy franchise I guess
Now u know bro I am not having any type of fun AT ALL on the game going back to 2k23 and we are good don’t worry about it. I really don’t think I’m touching the game again it’s not fun at all
2k got me FUCKED up if they think imma pay $70+ for the GAME $100+ to be able to upgrade my player to PLAY THE GAME and pay $20 A MONTH to get some extra bs to be as good as everybody else….nope
I've found it's always worth waiting for at least a 2 yr cycle to spend money on 2k games. To be honest that wait would be even longer for me if they didn't shut the servers down after like 3yrs. Kinda cheeky of them pretty much forcing ppl to buy their new games or most ppl would still be playing 19 as it's their best title in the past 4yrs.
So I’m a play now online type of guy should I pay the 35 of get MK1 for 45 ??? I’m strongly tryna consider but ngl something is telling me to wait till 2k25 or wait for the next sale I feel like it’s gone get even cheaper at some point especially cause last year they added 2k23 to psn for free at one point
How about if you are a player who doesn’t want to play online or get started in My Career mode… and you just want to play a few 82 game seasons against the computer using your favorite NBA team? Is it worth buying then?
2k is literally see how far they go and keep robbing people for a game that dies every year the next one comes out. Yall paying a 70 dollar annually fee and a monthly subscription 😂 p.s im not broke and use to be a victim too.
@nba2ktutes boss, so i gots a question, if the last NBA game i played had Michael Jordan in Bulls (that was aeons ago i know) - would it make sense to get 2k24 or would you recommend something entirely different? I have zero familiarity with the systems and mechanics that have been in and out for all those years so i guess that might factor into what to recommend XD
This is the first in a long line of 2K'S that I suggest not buying or waiting till it's like 15 dollars...and this is after a month and a season of playing. The graphics are meh...animations look good, but the gameplay in career mode is suspect....
@dungoncrazy2634 true...very true. This the first time its crossed my mind though...I could always ignore things in the past...but to get a foul for simply jumping in the air with no contact??!...or to have players on opposing teams brick like 7 shots in a row without getting cold...then miraculously shoot 4 three pointers in a row?? Suspect...
Bruh the game literally have some minor changes. I.e a couple new animation and that mamba moments. These devs are literally charging full price for a half ass game.
Ngl if your just a casual gamer it’s only worth buying these games (Nba, madden, FIFA, F1, etc.) every 2-3 years depending on if the games actually get good updates or not
If your a new player this isn’t a user friendly game. Sorry but worse year for you to start out. Shooting is more difficult and you won’t be able to adapt to the dribbling or badge system fast enough if you haven’t done it in recent years. Soo… don’t buy it if your a fifa player or madden. You’ll hate the badge system and jumpshot and waste money 💵 on $50 vc
Question: have they added features on Myleague and MyGM like on console? e.g staff stats showing (IQ, Footwork, Management etc), extra coaching staff / scouting staff etc
They need to loosen up the animation based gameplay it sucks you in and you don’t have control over what you actually want to do maybe in regular game but online it’s very maddenish
They destroyed this game on so many ways, I'm so disappointed and went back to 2k23, I keep asking me if they're stupid because what they done is very stupid, they even have next gen new badges that are overpowered and took away badges in current gen. I've never seen a videogame from 4 stars go to half a star in just one game.
So the developers were so lazy that they couldn't even be creative enough to come up with a player's name other than MP.... Where is the originality? Two years in a row?
What if I’m completely new to 2K? It’s on sale till Jan 6th, ‘24 on PS for $35. Never bought a 2K game before as I’m relatively new to watching and enjoying basketball in general. Elden ring is also $35 so idk what to go with as far as $/hr of enjoyment
Thats a tough one.. it’s worth it though if it’s your first 2k game. Cant say no to elden ring as well though. I would say just buy whichever because at the end or the day, you can sell it to FB marketplace and lose just probably $5 bucks through the process
People who say it’s exactly the same game haven’t played it yet. I’m a veteran 2k player and I’m enjoying this edition more than ever. Yes it’s too expensive but that’s been for years now. I think they made a step in the right direction gameplay-wise but let’s see if they’re going to patch it and if it becomes bad again.
No. Gameplay is horrible. Shooting is inconsistent, if im in the green and i dont get a green I should at least make the shot like it used to be. They tried to make it too realistic and made it not fun by doing so. I cant even make layups with my 7 footer sometimes. Its unplayable
Are you guys buying the game?
Absolutely, already downloaded and ready to go!
No. No way. HELL NAH. Nope.

Live was The Best Basketball game over 20 years hands down from The Sega era To about 06 , 2k still hasn't done a Dunk Contest , Live 05 had a whole all-star weekend Three point contest and all , I was never a 2k guy intill thats what was only available 😂 The foul shooting for Dreamcast when it first came out 💀lol was ass .
@ctnative203 live was heat back in the day but around 2k13-16 2k was obviously better gameplay wise. They ruined it tho so it's a wrap.
This game actively discourages grinding and experimenting with other builds. Its taken elements from RPG games and injected it into a basketball game behind a paywall.
Yea looks like this is another year of skipping 2K 2 years now 😂😂 I’m out of the 2K genjutsu officially
Same here
@@skidlinerzwell how would he know if he wants to buy the game or not? Could it be, this review helped him decide?

One thing that wasn’t mentioned in the video is that he is playing on console which supports next-gen and has story mode in my career and supports pro-play. You’re not going to get any of these features on PC just be aware of that.
and ps4 dont have story mode ;)
The controls are outrageous they make it so hard with this dribble combos and every dunk attempt I make and lob just bounces away, they make the controls so complicated and yet charge you full price for this game
I don’t expect graphics to get better when we are at our peak level of graphics in technology
Not peak. It’s limited by our hardware of the consoles.
This will be my first time ever not buying 2k at launch. Same with Fifa and Madden
@NBA2KTutes Man you are the realist person out here with these 2K videos. I normally don’t even leave remarks because I don’t feel it’s worth my time, but you my friend keep 1 thoa wow, (means you keep it better than 100) with the comments, so I had to leave you a comment. Your comments push me to buy the game. Screenshoot this to NBA2K and tell them people out here buying the game because of you! Thanks Homie! You have my subscription!
I’m mainly an Eras player and I was really hoping to hear if the AI has improved (i.e. more realistic instead of just dunks/layups and threes)
They would be better off just updating the game instead of dropping new games every year
@BreakHarpe they would lose a ton of money doing that.
I just picked up the game yesterday (10/22/23) for $47 after tax via Amazon for PS5 and for someone that’s been essentially playing every year mostly in MyTeam and some franchise, I was pleasantly surprised at how fun the on-court gameplay is. I started my Wizards modern NBA franchise and I even played a bit of MyTeam offline. Overall I’m happy with the game as long as I can keep myself from spending on mtx.
I stay away from the online gameplays, so I mostly be on My career, is it worth it ? Like is the storyline actually good ? If you’ve played it at all ?
@@DOUBLEA21x Sorru I havent played my career since 2K14 made me rage. I play only MyNBA and it is fun. Worth buying the game now since it’s on sale literally everywhere.
@@DOUBLEA21xI don’t have 2k24 but the game is always way more fun offline. Specially playing my league with customizable sliders to make it more realistic. You can create your own player and use player lock so it would be like a bootleg my career without the storyline. But since storyline is what you like then go ahead and play it im sure you would enjoy it but I think it always gets repetitive
@@DOUBLEA21xcase you never found it there’s no story mode so it is basically just franchise
Always respect the work and effort you put in for all of us, we appreciate you man!
The two things that I need to see from you are a vertical test for blocks and to see if Guard Up is a good badge this year.
I tapped out of 2k a while but I am back for the new game 😅 let's hope it goes well, I'll be back for the vids, excited for the content tutes 🙏
Not gonna lie the lack of reviews and explanation of new content has me worried that this is not gonna be a good year. Game releases tonight and nobody has reviewed it yet? I've heard almost nothing about MyCareer improvements and changes.
It's probably embargoed
That's intentional, 2k's marketing is all about hype and not about substance, just like their game. They don't want actual gameplay out there bc the games just a revised version of the previous year and it would hurt pre orders.
@@herpiegerbstick6808 That's why it scares me because I've seen games not allowed reviews before release and 9 times out of 10 they're doing that because they know the game isn't gonna review well and that will hurt day 1 sales.
@@Beautifulconversation Yea but that's optional. You can very much so control reviews and what places like IGN, Gamestop, etc can use in their review.
tbh graphics are secondary.. id rather they spend resources developing new gameplay features..
my center build can do it all and i’m so happy. Great defense, good finishing, can shoot with an 80 3, and has like 80 vert at 7’1
Could you post his attributes I’ve been trying to make an all around big for ever
Day 1 keeping us informed 💪🏾
i habe 2k22 and considering buying 2k24. any advice?
For anyone who actually plays the game. Meaning NBA games. Not blacktop or junk like that. This is a MASSIVE upgrade. Proplay is phenomenal!
How is it phenomenal?does your teammates play with IQ?like making the right reads pass the ball or actually score points?
How bout last gen?
pre ordered yesterday! I am excited considering I am mainly a rebuild teams guy on mynba, sad to see pay to win stuff in my career though im excited
Same here. I love mynba and honestly all game modes especially mycareer. I feel like it’s still possible to have a no money spent build being that players like us play different game modes witch in turn gives us different incomes for vc !
@@justlivinginthematrix6260 agreed!😂 + one good thing about mynba is i legit get 800 vc every game i play with 12 minute quarters so its basically like im playing games in my career but im not at the same time
My main question being is there still server delay? That shit drives me crazy and honestly is the big thing keeping me from buying the game or not
For me lay up meter n new animations is a game changer been playing every single 2k since dreamcast i played one quick game last night n yes it definitely feels different not the same game
Sure thing Ronnie's alt😂
@@TheMETALICA40 this def ldk 🤣
They didn’t buff paint defense they just nerfed the hell out of finishing.. can’t dunk the ball worth a damn without being taken out of your animation and the shooting is damn near impossible without meter.
Bro it’s right to the content I fw that 🙏🏾🔋
Hey Tutes. Is it even worth buying current gen or should I just save my money to put towards a new console?
I would say just buy a new console,, it opens up a lot of gamingn opportunities as well
@@nba2ktutes Thanks. That’s what I was thinking. 😄
What 2k needs to change from a dedicated 15 year 2k vet..... 1. They need to stop showing peoples stats in games, completely and go back to how it used to be in old pro am. 2. They need to put the PA commentators back in rec/pro am and actually use our custom names like old proam which was rec. 3. They need to completely remove greening dunks, and go back to the old dunking system. 4. They need to remove crossplay. 5. They need to remove the rep system and go back to road to 99 without dropping people back down for a bad game, remove rebirth tokens and only allow rebirth on specific builds as opposed to any build, too many ppl running around with 99s they grinded in a day. which leads to 6. They need to remove badge regression and let people pick their badges again. 7. They need to completely redo dribbling and deal with the dribble spamming issues as soon as they arise, crack down on exploits as soon as they start. 8. They need to keep the season system but make the rewards much better, people love free stuff, however things we get from the rep system should be rewarded in season while certain things everyone will want should always be attainable like +5 to all stats should be a reward for hitting 99.
9. They need to keep their servers fixed and up to date and Never adjust latency it should be done perfectly the first time. 10. they need to give back the ability to speak to the other team in rec, that should only be taken away in proam, too much hostility is created among team mates ppl forget who the opponents are, speaking of hostility...11. They need to completely remove the black to purple ranking system, and also remove anything that shows a persons season levels, when you create so much separation you encourage people to sell eachother, trash talk eachother, and of course refuse to play with other, the community is toxic because so many players get treated like trash, that was never the case in old rec which was called proam, it was no squads all random, nobody saw anyones stats and people came out there to try and win, there were rarely and fights or sellouts. 12... they need to not make vc cheaper, keep stats and clothes expensive its fine, but they need to pay alot more vc for accomplishments in game, even if you loose in park that should be a guaranteed 1000+ vc, my career should pay well over 5000 vc per game just for the win, and rec and proam should pay well over 10k vc per win, then the amount of vc you get for each price should be raised by a little bit. To remove the pay to win aspect season rewards shouldnt give anything that helps in game, that should come with the 99, the grind to 99 should be alot harder, capping anyone and everyone at an 85 and making people work to level up, by doing so there will be alot more diversity, everyone having a 99 in the early days of the game is just boring, and lazy. 13. They need to put intimidator back in the game, they separated it into two badges, for interior and exterior defense. Because of that foolish move we have 6ft shooters pulling up threes over 7ft shaqs and lebrons with no worries. And with the ability to pick your own badges we would see alot more diversity in defense as well as offense. 14. They need to automatically give certain badges according to height, weight, and wingspan. Things like intimidator should be auto with someone really tallk, really strong, or with really long KD like arms. 15. They need to ban not just the accounts, but entire ip addresses, some computer games like pokemon do this all the time. Ban them for hacking, boosting, or using any sort of cheats or modded controllers. Using a 3 strike system until they get perma banned. 16. They need to completely remove banning and punishing people for quitting games. Most people dont mind ai players on their team and speaking of Ai players. 17. They need to nerf ai players ability to shoot, and change the tendacies to just stand at the 3 point line, even ai players with a 25 3 pnt shot hang out at the 3 line and green 3s left and right. They need to add more tendacies to things like iso, setting picks and screens, and post ups, also handles, the ai players should be no different than in my career. 18. If the other team forfeits you should still get all rewards earned up to that point. 19. They need to fix the openess, directional, distance, passing sliders, they are broken. 20. Lastly, they need to start communication banning people for racial slurs, threats, and believe it or not, bullying, its become a huge problem in 2k and has even lead to people being killed, but they dont talk about that, being from south chicago i know multiple people who were killed over online beef started in 2k. The number is likely in the 10s-20s every year..... Bonus 21. They need to stop using kobe as the face on the cover, its insulting to one of the goats after he has passed on. Fix the game first then use it, but chances are, Kobe would be mad they took that honer from top prospects and players who had dreams of being put on the cover of 2k, its a thing.
First time I'm riding the bench ever for BOTH madden & 2K.... the micro transactions & same BS forcing me to wait until later in the year when it DROPS... if at all
I play team up primarily. Would you say wait or buy now? My goal is to get to the highest tier (greates of all time) and unlock the OG rosters to play people online with.
No 81 game ? Is 2k stupid
Itll be added with a season lol
Bro it’s such a bid disappointment. 2k sell your company or something cause you’re losing the game. I remember the 2k17 being legendary and now it’s just a big L
For my fellow mynba only players, its ight i buy it cause i play a little everyday al say its solid
I appreciate the honesty, all these big name youtubers was hyping the hell out of 24, its ok so far, but the micro transaction is ridiculous.
Practically hilarious how im able to play NBA2K11 MyCareer offline on the Wii till now but i cant do the same for the newer games 🤣
NBA2K has legitimately threw away every community besides online MyCareer and MyTeam 😭
I’m an mynba eras guy. Guess I’ll continue my hbcu league. Hakeem Olajuwon is still playing in 2005. I drafted him in 83 and his son and puppet son are in the league. 2k has its problems but still better than madden. Hell fifa got more and I just played soccer game for the first time since og xbox.
My last NBA 2K was 2K13... wonder if i should buy 2K24 at 35 dollars. Any advice? 2K23 doesn't have a discount though.
35 dollars for a 10 year upgrade would be worth it mate

MJ had 15 moments including NCAA moment and a Team USA moment in his game mode last year. Now 2K24 has 7 moments for Kobe (he couldn't even get 8 like his Frobe Number 😅).
Not to mention they managed to not add Kobe 81 point Game 😂 & his 60 point FINAL NBA game 😅!

(+30 Year LA Lakers Fan & 2K22 MyCareer Legend)
They don’t have next gen on PC and the current gen version looks identical. I’ve been playin 2k since 2012 and this is gunna be the year is skip sadly. EA needs to make an NBA game to force 2k into actually giving a shit again.
Do you earn anything to unlock the next season like other season passes?
Good stuff sir ! Thx for the info 🤟🏾🤟🏾
What about people that on play MYNBA and play now modes, but they play those modes every weekend? Is the gameplay much different than last years version? Do plays actually work this year? Most of plays didn’t work last year, so I ran a high pick and pop offense.
I feel robbed…been playing for 4 days and lost all my badges except for 3. I feel heartbroken 💔. Can’t believe they added this to the game. The game does not feel smooth like 2k22. It feels clunky
I paid so much VC. I’m done playing today. It’s clear they are only about the money. I will just play fantasy franchise I guess
Now u know bro I am not having any type of fun AT ALL on the game going back to 2k23 and we are good don’t worry about it. I really don’t think I’m touching the game again it’s not fun at all
2k got me FUCKED up if they think imma pay $70+ for the GAME $100+ to be able to upgrade my player to PLAY THE GAME and pay $20 A MONTH to get some extra bs to be as good as everybody else….nope
long story short unless you’re a sweaty big back try hard with nothing going on in life…then yes 2k is for you
I've found it's always worth waiting for at least a 2 yr cycle to spend money on 2k games. To be honest that wait would be even longer for me if they didn't shut the servers down after like 3yrs. Kinda cheeky of them pretty much forcing ppl to buy their new games or most ppl would still be playing 19 as it's their best title in the past 4yrs.
So I’m a play now online type of guy should I pay the 35 of get MK1 for 45 ??? I’m strongly tryna consider but ngl something is telling me to wait till 2k25 or wait for the next sale I feel like it’s gone get even cheaper at some point especially cause last year they added 2k23 to psn for free at one point
How about if you are a player who doesn’t want to play online or get started in My Career mode… and you just want to play a few 82 game seasons against the computer using your favorite NBA team? Is it worth buying then?
I would say yes. If you genuinely love basketball it ultimately won't matter imo
Its funny watching people complaining about Myplayer. I neva ever play it. So i never pay xtra for VC.
Im the type of player who plays nba todat or some quick matches from time to time. So should i wait?
2k is literally see how far they go and keep robbing people for a game that dies every year the next one comes out. Yall paying a 70 dollar annually fee and a monthly subscription 😂
p.s im not broke and use to be a victim too.
@nba2ktutes boss, so i gots a question, if the last NBA game i played had Michael Jordan in Bulls (that was aeons ago i know) - would it make sense to get 2k24 or would you recommend something entirely different? I have zero familiarity with the systems and mechanics that have been in and out for all those years so i guess that might factor into what to recommend XD
they actually removed shooting around in the pro-am is BEYOND ME. holy shit devs… holy shit 🤦🏻♂️
"Much Smooder" ☠️
This is the first in a long line of 2K'S that I suggest not buying or waiting till it's like 15 dollars...and this is after a month and a season of playing. The graphics are meh...animations look good, but the gameplay in career mode is suspect....
The first in a long line? My guy I see loads of ppl say that every yr lol
@dungoncrazy2634 true...very true. This the first time its crossed my mind though...I could always ignore things in the past...but to get a foul for simply jumping in the air with no contact??!...or to have players on opposing teams brick like 7 shots in a row without getting cold...then miraculously shoot 4 three pointers in a row?? Suspect...
Bruh the game literally have some minor changes. I.e a couple new animation and that mamba moments. These devs are literally charging full price for a half ass game.
2k19 was the last good 2k and that’s probably bc of the vc glitch lol
I play franchise mode.... is it worth me getting 2k24 now?
Ngl if your just a casual gamer it’s only worth buying these games (Nba, madden, FIFA, F1, etc.) every 2-3 years depending on if the games actually get good updates or not
But if your like a content creator or full sweaty gamer boy that just grinds one game 24/7 that’s different lol
Is the NBA era's on old gen or just still only on next gen?
90' era is very good on ps5.. ps4 i don't know
If your a new player this isn’t a user friendly game. Sorry but worse year for you to start out. Shooting is more difficult and you won’t be able to adapt to the dribbling or badge system fast enough if you haven’t done it in recent years. Soo… don’t buy it if your a fifa player or madden. You’ll hate the badge system and jumpshot and waste money 💵 on $50 vc
Question: have they added features on Myleague and MyGM like on console? e.g staff stats showing (IQ, Footwork, Management etc), extra coaching staff / scouting staff etc
Is it worth it at $35
They need to loosen up the animation based gameplay it sucks you in and you don’t have control over what you actually want to do maybe in regular game but online it’s very maddenish
I'll wait for a deep sale like Christmas time because i don't play online and play mynba like its mycareer so I'm happy with 2k23 for now
They destroyed this game on so many ways, I'm so disappointed and went back to 2k23, I keep asking me if they're stupid because what they done is very stupid, they even have next gen new badges that are overpowered and took away badges in current gen. I've never seen a videogame from 4 stars go to half a star in just one game.
Is this the one on steam?
Yeahhhh I’m pretty much playing 2K23 till that price drop hit
The professionalism of the presentation earned my subscription
we were spoiled by the graphics jump from 2k13 ps3 to 2k14 ps4
Is this current gen for the PS5 / Xbox Series X or is it next gen for PS5 / Xbox Series X?
Been watching since 2k20, always the best at helping me prepare for the next 2k season!
It is so sad what they did to a basketball game, making it into IRL World of Warcraft
You're playing on PC?
That kobe lob was crazy
quick question if u buy 2k24 on a stem deck do u get the next gen version or current?
If they aren’t going to improve the graphics they should at least turn on ray traces lighting it will make the game look better with minimum effort
This game makes 2k22 look like a great game and that game has plenty of problems
Sheesh it’s that bad ??? 😭I’m confused thinking on buying it since it’s on sale for 35
Tutes lost a Lil weight man ur lookin good my boy
Is this a PS5 or Series X version? :)
Ngl I still play 23 but I see it’s on sale with psn for 35 dollars should I get it ?
Is there compulsory quests in career mode ? I hope not
Looks like the first 2K i will not be being in awhile... sad where gaming has gotten to
They have Kobe featured but dont have the 08, 09 or 10 Lakers for Classic teams??? Thats mid this is basically NBA 2k23 😂
I JUST refunded the game too 😂
Same brother, too many good games coming out in the next months.
@@Oggreac mirage, spider man 2
How’d you refund it?
How??
Good video. However, wasn't this more of a preview? You didn't really review any of the different parts of the game.
So the developers were so lazy that they couldn't even be creative enough to come up with a player's name other than MP.... Where is the originality? Two years in a row?
Main take away is its more smooder
What if I’m completely new to 2K? It’s on sale till Jan 6th, ‘24 on PS for $35. Never bought a 2K game before as I’m relatively new to watching and enjoying basketball in general. Elden ring is also $35 so idk what to go with as far as $/hr of enjoyment
Thats a tough one.. it’s worth it though if it’s your first 2k game. Cant say no to elden ring as well though. I would say just buy whichever because at the end or the day, you can sell it to FB marketplace and lose just probably $5 bucks through the process

idk if im buying this money grab this year. I swear we been doing the same grind for years man it gets so boring after the first month.
People who say it’s exactly the same game haven’t played it yet. I’m a veteran 2k player and I’m enjoying this edition more than ever. Yes it’s too expensive but that’s been for years now. I think they made a step in the right direction gameplay-wise but let’s see if they’re going to patch it and if it becomes bad again.
Still go be free in 6 months not wasting money on it lol
No. Gameplay is horrible. Shooting is inconsistent, if im in the green and i dont get a green I should at least make the shot like it used to be. They tried to make it too realistic and made it not fun by doing so. I cant even make layups with my 7 footer sometimes. Its unplayable
Are the servers still like 100s of milliseconds slow? It’s insane conpared to fx fifa and cod
