For yall 2K nikkas this is an easy boycott to send a message...

Yall basically spend $60 for a roster update and user interface...

The roster update you can easily do yourself or download from somebody else...
The sports games aren’t the same every year. Only people who don’t delve deep into the games would say that.

Word my bad I forgot about the two new dunk and dribble animations...:comeon:

Bottomline is, this game don't change that much yearly that you can't lay off it for a year to send a message to a greedy ass publisher whose trying to blatantly nickel and dime your ass...

And I would like to add us boxing brehs been playing the same damn game going on 7 years...

Yall seriously can't play 2K18 for one more year?

Dont make me no difference as Im a MYLeague guy but the answer to this is to support Live. If not with your wallet, at least with your vocal support. Look into it, make suggestions etc... Live made a big jump last year and probably will make another one while 2K will ride this microtransactions into the ground...

This was a slap in the face and most of yall still gonna play it next year. Its one thing to make it a grind, but when tshirts/hairstyles cost a games worth of VC then they're clearly punking the consumers

new rosters new rookies new schedule new salary cap for myleague, online play. 2k has done a decent job of bringing classic teams, last year we got all time teams. Playable online. Myteam

Basketball is the 2nd or 3rd biggest sport in the world depending on how you look at it. 2k can set records just selling to us diehards. Im itching to take this phoenix suns team online. Casuals such as yourself are who 2k needs to ignore

Don’t stop. Keep this same energy for RD2 when it drops. Who do you think is the publisher of Rockstar?













































Oh you got RD2 preordered day one?:sas2: NVM

:yeshrug: A good bit o do stuff changes yearly.

Plus half the user base plays online for the competition. Not trying to play with casual bums and nikkaz who brought the game the month before the next one dropped.

I’m gonna play with people who take it as serious as I do, not people that turn it on every 2 months in between single player games.

And I bet none of this takes extreme amount of dev time or resources compared to a game like TLOU2.
