I agree. Roughly $82-$85k a season isn’t enough. Since the usual vc pack is $150k we should at least make that as a rookie. And then it should go up every 3-4 years to the next pack which I believe is $200k.

Man all they have to do is lower costs to make a build and let us respec our builds since they have patches come out during the seasons. I think more ppl would be inclined to buy the game if they did that.
I bought 2k 24 after 4 year of not buying 2k and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. I don't plan to buy 2k 24 anytime soon. I hate their business practices. You play EA college football 25, They have no micro transaction stuff outside of their my team mode. I never play that kinda stuff so I don't even know the name of it. The road to Glory is phenomenal, The dynasty mode in the game is amazing. You don't have to pay anything to upgrade your player in dynasty it is a breath of fresh air. EA sports will probably eventually ruin it but it's so nice to play a sports sim where you aren't expected to spend 100 bucks to get your character to a '80 something overall so that your character can be decent. The overalls in 2K aren't even the overalls that actual players are rated on. You're pretty much a role player it is bs that you pay over 100 bucks or grind forever on one character to get them to be a good role player.
Feel that.. but, make a better build, I make builds that can do it all, and it’s a fun experience.. it does go absolutely dry after you’ve maxed that character out
Bro you really got people out here praising this game already, and the only thing they revealed is ish that’s already been in the game for YEARS, just reworked… Sometimes I can’t blame 2k for relieving these ding bats of all their money. Smh.
They Paying Creators to hype it up bro, facts.. USing their Influence on their fans to push the game. Those same people will get the game early and make videos to further push the game. All Marketing
Are we all going to gloss over the fact that the “new” feature for the game is the shot stick… type in shot stick tutorial and you now have a preview of 25😂😂
What should they change then? What can be changed to make the game better? You all complaining, but it’s a sports game not much else can change. They add features, and your response is a good example of what most people think, it comes off as the game is a joke, if that is the case, should they remove the court as a whole, put each individual on bungie cords, and people play like that?
At the very least, 2K should drop the demo where we can experiment with the builder so we can have our build ready soon as game drops. It won’t effect their profits negatively
It's 328k vc to max out a build in 2k24, but in 2k23, it was 450k+ vc, so I hope they lower the amount of vc needed to upgrade builds again in 2k25 I hope it's like 200k vc to max out a build.
Finally someone made an article mentioning play now online it hasn't changed since 2k19 ,I want them to revert back to the way it was like in 2k18 they got rid of lobbies too they need to bring that back
100% on everything said.much respect for the effort u put in and the info research uncle. 2k focus is on cheating the community and giving very little to us while aiming to take everything we have in our pockets. The fact there is no competition and myteam is now not a mode where we make our own team but a bunch or random cards given to us after we spend money on MT to lock-in a set is already criminal.
In My Carreer the story is always about the best prospect ever but you’re only a 60 overall. You’re supposed to be a Lebron James or a Victor Wembanyama. Instead you’re more an Anthony Bennett or Thanasis Antetokoumpo. An MP should be at least 70 or 75 overall to begin.
That’s why I dont preorder yearly games like CoD, 2k or Madden no more They don’t deserve my preorder Right now only Dragon Age Veilguard and Dragonball Z Sparking Zero gets my preorder (Only Preorder games that’s been getting worked on for years) idk if I’m going to preorder the new GTA 😒
this article was great timing. 2K needs to let us know will the game fix the bands and fix zens?We also got micro transactionst that’s out of control. 2k showed the community no love during 2k24, how will 2k25 be any better
It's a publisher thing. 2K is slow walking WWE 2K down the same path of more focus on MTX modes and less on the modes outside of them. I'm seeing ppl complaining already about how Universe mode is getting less attention than it used to. MyFactions is starting to become their focus just like MyTeam. It's how 2K does business and it's trickled down from Take-Two, the parent company. Wait til GTA 6 comes out. They will have players pull out the 💰 on that.
I could be wrong but I think ES next year are about to shock the world they gonna bring back NCAA basketball and transition right into nba live 26 and it won’t be nothing 2k can do about it
BS.. EA Sports Puts out Madden, FIFA, etc every year with the same amount of time as 2k and roll it out perfectly.. Doont make excuses for the Bum A** Company
The Problem isn’t that 2K doesn’t try and make changes……. Every year they mention several new features that sounds great, unfortunately they never work as intended which makes the game Always feel the same!!!!!!!
Very strange the article as well as people that have played are saying the game must change, again it added new features into the game, as any type of person that watches and plays sports games, what can the game change other than roster updates and the features they added. Do people want a non realistic game, get on horses run around a track and shoot the ball with a Nerf gun? The people complaining the game hasn’t changed in X amount of years, yes it has, look at the old imagery to the new stuff, the new features to the old. What else can possibly change in any sports games? Not much they can do to change the way the game is other than add new features and animations as they have
EA Sports needs to make a basketball game ! 2k has no competition and with that they can do what they want knowing fans of basketball & Basketball gaming will have no other Choice Up Until ONLINE MyPlayer, WE ALL PLAYED NBA LIVE > 2k !! 2k now owns the rights and Trademarks to the NBA and blocks any other development group from making an NBA based basketball game TO be real, EA should make a game that focuses on NCAA, Streetballl, or the International Route with NIL deals and compete with 2k in the MyPlayer Space which is the most popular mode.
I'm sorry bro I hate to spread negativity but Uncle Demi is starting to sound like a sellout all of this coping for these horrible company practices. "If they drop the demo it would hurt the business so it makes sense" no it doesn't because dropping a demo would give them REAL feedback if people hate it they would know to step up and do more to earn trust. All of this constant well I understand 2k for this or I think that's smart for this is garbage and I used to really respect bro.
Ion think 2k is the problem if you look at gaming in the state they’re in gaming is suffering in the micro transactions scheme and that’s every company in the gaming industry your favorite games are suffering from the same thing Call of Duty Mortal Kombat Fortnite all are suffering from the micro transactions bug plus the pandemic ruined the power of next gen like PS5 and Xbox Series X so expect gaming to go back to its joy in 2027 or 2028 when gaming can get back to its full potential making games fun again
