NBA 2K18
GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY. Look it’s a great game if you buy VC points, but if you don’t it’s an horrible experience. Grinding and Grinding away for 200-400 games just to get your character to 80-85. If I were God, I would send these GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY makers of this game to hell. Seriously, they think this is good business? To offer you a game for $59.99 and then heavily provoke you to spend at least $10-20 more just to make the gameplay bearable? Why not just sell the game at one price of $70 then? Why make it unfair for people who’s got less money. The gameplay in My Career was so horrible that you miss shots even when the shot feedback says “Good”. I miss almost 50% of my shots that say “Good”. Even FT’s, I see “Good” release all the time, but nope ball hardly goes in. The game frustrates you to the point where you’re just barely missing open “Good” shots because the game is forcing you to miss. I get it the AI has stepped up and they play better defense, that’s great. This is the first 2K where this is so obvious. 17 was not like this, if you had your release down and on point, you will not be forced to miss just because your shot rating is 75. How many times do you guys see the ball go in and out of the hoop? Like what kind of physics is that? Greedy Money Hungry Going to Hell developer physics. Seriously, I think these guys are going to hell for this game. Anyone who had a part in forcing you to buy VC is going to hell. You can’t even spend $10, and be decent, you will still suck. You must spend at least $20 and spend it all on stats. Not to mention the clothes you buy is now seperated from NBA and Park Mode. So you have to buy things twice, and spend up your VC twice as fast. GREEDY, GREEDY, GREEDY. You can’t even keep your hairstyles, you have to keep buying them everytime. They lowered the price now because they probably saw people not buying alot of things, but still, you dont get to keep it. So they still win and force you to keep buying. 2K stop spending your money on pointless characters like Justice, and Shammy Chuck all day Wells. He’s a horrible basketball player and takes horrible shots which makes your team suck. They do so many things to hold you back so you think about buying VC. Every single part of this game from My Career to My Team is a GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY effort from 2K to force you to spend more money. What about the young children, that just want to play a good basketball game? What about that kid that lives in the middle of nowhere with no internet? What about the kid that asked his parents to buy this game for months just to find out that he will have to use a horrible character or ask his parents for more money? It seriously ruins your experience finding out how GREEDY they are. Seriously, if 2K developers are taking all this money from us, what are they doing with it? Make a small town? GTA V has a much bigger open world then NBA’s small town and its only $59.99 from day one. Never had to pay any additional cost for points just to make the game playable. Ofcourse you have to grind to get more stuff in their game as well, but you don’t get the feeling that they’re making it hard for you. You know that they’ll provide ways for you to earn more money via the game fairly. But Nope, not 2k. Small open world (not even sure if I should call it open world) town. Horrible supporting characters/actors. Who the hell is in charge of where you guys are allocating your money? All the money we give you just for this? A small neighborhood with restrictions in every store. Oh your charcater is 65? well then you can’t buy almost anything. Oh you get a Jordan Sponsor but can’t even attain 90% of the shoes available just because your character sucks. Wow and you guys call this a Simulation? Cause in REAL LIFE, BASKETBALL PLAYERS CAN BUY ANY PAIR OF SNEAKERS, ANY HAIRCUT, AND PIECE OF CLOTHING WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IF WHETHER THEY SUCK OR NOT. YOU CALL THIS A BASKETBALL SIMULATION? WHO THE HELL IS SHAMMY WELLS, HE’S NOT REAL? WHY WOULD YOU PAY MONEY FOR AN HORRIBLE SUPPORTING ACTOR WHEN YOU CAN SPEND IT ON IMPROVING ELEMENTS OF THE GAME. ALL SHAMMY WELLS DOES IS CHUCK UP SHOTS AND TALK NONSENSE. All these added characters but the same problematic gameplay. Fouls where your player doesnt even touch the guy. All that money you guys cant even get the physics of player contact right. Practice drills where the rebounder can’t get the ball , glitches out and you have to cancel the drill and miss out on the points. Why not fix these issues? Why not fix the dull ass crowd? Why can’t I skip scenes? Why force someone to watch your dull storyline? No twists, no turns. Boring as ever. Look it’s cool you added a small little town, which could be much bigger with more mini games that real nba players actually do. Like the fishing with PG13, Why not add a small lake and let us play mini games so we get more for our money? AGAIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE MONEY YOU ARE MAKING OFF OF US? WHAT ARE WE GETTING BACK FOR OUR $59.99? GAMES LIKE GTA HAS GIVEN US MORE AND MORE UPDATES EVERY FEW MONTHS, WHAT ABOUT YOU 2K? JUST TAKE OUR MONEY AND HOPE WE BUY THE NEXT GAME? WHERE ARE THE UPDATES, WHERE ARE THE EXPANSIONS? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING OVER THERE? I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT YOUR GREEDY WAYS. BUT YOU GET MY POINT. FROM A NBA 2K DREAMCAST PLAYER TIL NOW, YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE A TON OF CUSTOMERS BECAUSE OF YOUR GREED. TREATING PEOPLE LIKE THEY’RE STUPID, ITS AN INSULT. YOU GUYS ARE INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENECE BY SELLING US A GAME FOR $59.99 THINKING ITS COMPLETE JUST TO FIND OUT YOU HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE JUST FOR THE GAME TO BE DECENT. SERIOUSLY? YOU JUST TREAT US LIKE WE’RE ALL MORONS WHO WILL PAY NO MATTER WHAT? THAT’S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU GUYS MAKE US SPEND TONS OF VC JUST FOR A SNEAKER OR HAIRCUT. IF I MAKE 750 VC A GAME RIGHT, WHY ARE SNEAKERS 2000? IS THAT REALISTIC? NBA SUPERSTARS MAKE 300K A GAME, SNEAKERS IN REAL LIFE ARE $200-$500. DO THE MATH, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU GUYS? WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO BLATANTLY GREEDY? IF YOU’RE GONNA OFFER ME HALF A GAME FOR $59.99 WHY NOT TELL ME UPFRONT? OR WHY NOT JUST CHARGE $70 TO EVERYONE? WHY MAKE RICH KIDS WHO COULD CARELESS ABOUT $20-$50 HAVE AN ADVANTAGE? LIFE’S IS OFCOURSE NOT FAIR, BUT YOU WOULD THINK YOU COULD TRY RIGHT? TRY TO GIVE EVERYONE A FAIR ADVANTAGE. WHEN MY SHOT FEEDBACK SAYS GOOD I WANT MY SHOT TO GO IN 85% OF THE TIME, NOT MISS 50% OF THE TIME. IT’S STUPID, WHY SAY THE RELEASE IS GOOD THEN? IS YOUR GAME BROKEN? DID YOU SELL US A BROKEN GAME? YOU SEE WHAT YOUR GREEDINESS LEADS TO? DO YOU SEE? MAKE IT FAIR FOR EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHAT FINANCIAL SITUATION, NO MATTER WHAT AGE. YOU THINK THAT LITTLE BOY FROM A SMALL TOWN IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY IS NOT DISSAPOINTED AFTER PAYING $59.99 AND REALIZING HIS CHARACTER IS NOT ONLY TRASH, HE HAS TO GRIND OVER 200 GAMES JUST TO GET A DECENT CHARACTER, AND THE GAME WORKS AGAINST HIS SHOTS SO IT SEEMS LIKE HE SUCKS TO PROVOKE HIM TO BUY VC? YOU DEVELOPERS AREN’T JUST DEVELOPERS, YOU’RE THIEFS, CROOKS AND HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO GO TO HELL IF YOU CONTINUE THIS ROUTE. ITS THE THINGS THAT AREN’T SAID THAT MAKE YOU LIARS. SHOWING A GREAT OPEN TOWN FULL OF FEATURES, BUT WHEN YOU BUY THE GAME, OH..CANT USE THOSE FEATURES YET FOR ANOTHER 300 GAMES UNLESS YOU PAY $20. WHY NOT TELL US THAT UPFRONT? SERIOUSLY, NBA LIVE HAS BEEN CATCHING UP, YOU GREEDY GUTLESS HORRIBLE EXCUSES FOR A HUMAN BEING WILL NOT BE AROUND FOR LONG IF YOU KEEP THIS UP. BE TRANSPARENT, OFFER WHAT YOU SHOW FOR THE PRICE YOU’RE SHOWING. MAKE THE GAME FAIR FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL STATUS. DO GOOD BUSINESS. YOU GUYS THINK THAT YOU’LL CONTINUE TO GET CUSTOMERS IF YOU CONTINUE TO PUT OUT YOUR GAMES LIKE THIS? YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO FOOL PEOPLE A FEW TIMES, BUT THEY WILL EVENTUALLY NOT COME BACK AND YOUR BRAND WILL GO CRASHING. DO THE RIGHT THING. RIGHT NOW THIS GAME IS A RIP OFF. YOU HAVE LOST MY TRUST. YOU CATCH MORE BEES WITH HONEY FOOLS.

Even though the gameplay itself is great, this game took a huge downfall from last year(s). The neighborhood is a great idea but it’s missing a lot of things. A day-night cycle would’ve made it look so much more alive, it’s like just 3 streets and a park.. it gets boring very very quickly.
It’s obvious that the game was set up in a way so that players are “forced” to buy more in game currency, unless they want to spend many many MANY hours of gameplay. Player upgrades, clothes, accessories, animations, tattoos.. EVERYTHING costs a stupid amount of money, they removed the ability to review a new hairstyle on your character, so the only way to actually look at the hairstyle on your character, you have to buy it.. And if you don’t like it, you can just buy another one.
