The moment they implemented VC for haircuts/accessories you know the series jumped the shark. It's a battle of two fronts now, janky animations and money grubbing corp s***. Haven't bought 2K since 2K16 and before then it was 2K14. If I want to play a bball game I'll boot up streets 2 or nba ballers via emulator.

2k digital currency that you can earn by playing (even though 2k nerfs the amount you get on purpose). Or you can pay for it with real money.

As I said in the WWE 2K thread in TSC:
All 2K/Take Two games will have Mircotransactions/vc. All of them. The CEO said they haven't reached the limits of MTS/VC shyt.

GTA, NBA 2K, WWE 2K, Red Dead... All of them.

It's never going back to the way it used to be. Instead of sensible grinding, leveling up or unlockable through gameplay (ex: secrets), these games are now being treated like mobile free to play games.

These games aren't really $60 anymore and they haven't been for a long time. Never mind the shyt EA, WB Games, and Activision do.

They really are being treated like that, and becoming more obvious as the years go on. :wow:

I'm not going to pay a dollar more for a game I already paid $60 for. I will wait until December when NBA Live is $24 on PSN if I really need a basketball game fix.

Yup. I'm done buying basketball games on release day or paying $60+ for them. Idk what the deal is with 2k now but they been making the same game since 2k13. I probably will wait until BF sales and cop NBA Live.

EA is crazy as well because they last year they only charged $40 for Live if pre-ordered. Now they want full price for this year's game. A sports franchise that was in the shytter for a decade.
