IGN posts a scathing review of NBA 2K24, says microtransactions make the game nearly unplayable

NBA 2K24 Review - IGN

NBA 2K24 scores big with gameplay, but its microtransaction tactics feel like a costly turnover.

www.ign.com

"MyCareer is a nearly unplayable unless you decide to open your wallet or endure an absurd grind while mechanics like badge regression reinforce the worst parts of the micro transaction scheme".

Badges regress now? You have to play 3-4 seasons or shell out $30 to create a decent shooting guard? Why do you guys keep supporting Take Two when they disrespect the hell out of you, treating your $70 purchase like a free-to-play cell phone game?

I used to LOVE 2K. I can't support this anymore. We gotta vote with our wallets, guys.

I stopped playing 2k a couple seasons ago. The game mechanics were horrible. And playing MyTeam online, forget about it, shyt was horrible l.

I used to love this game back on the original Xbox. Ran with Mike Bibby and the Kangs. It's a shame what it's become.

might as well call it NBA a fool and his money 2k

The GTAVification of the series.

It's well deserved. Do I think microtransactions will stop people from buying? No but I wouldn't blame people if they said fukk it

Haven’t bought a 2k game in a lonnng time. Guess I’ll stick with my 2011, ESPN 05 and NBA 2k2
