I used to live this way. But when Michael Jordan said "Stop it. Get some help" I listened. Last 2k game I paid full price for was 2k18. I got 2k19 on sale for $20 and I completely skipped 2k20 and 2k21. I have no regrets šŸ˜Ž

At least 2K20 became free at some point

Yep, same. I still play 2k19 from time to time but skipped 20 and 21. And I am better for it.

šŸ‘šŸ» I have 2k17, that I got for free for EA playtesting, and 2k20 for free on ps+.

0 dollars spent.

LilThan0s:bronze:•

Same! After playing every 2k since 2k11, I was so disappointed after 19 I said I wouldn’t pay $60 for another one of them until they fix it. Got 2k20 for like $4, and have no interest in 2k21 for anything more than that.

Hope they can figure these games out, tho. Still play the old ones and love basketball so it sucks I have to miss out. I’d gladly pay for decent game but this garbage hasn’t ben worth my time.

Fuck them for charging $100 for a Kobe cover not even a year after his death!

urmomssusaf:warning: :xbl: B3•

i actually think looking back that 2k20 was a pretty solid 2k, i know not everyone agrees and ofc it has its flaws but i just can’t seem to enjoy 21 as of right now and going back to 20 is a really fun experience

I love how this question always pops up. It’s because they’re hoping for change, hoping people smarten up and stop spending money on a sub par product with horrible customer support. Hoping people realize how much the company has flat out stolen from its customers. Hoping people that always ask your question aren’t really serious.

Thunder-ten-tronckh:warning: B1•

Old man fist shake is def relatable.

Felt the same way when they doubled-down on building in Fortnite. Used to be you'd come across a really good builder only every so often around release. Then they really leaned into it and now you stand zero chance of winning a round unless you can post a Redfin listing in 3 seconds flat.

It's the same shit with speed boosting and perfect releases in 2K. I just gotta accept that part of the game ain't for me anymore, but that's been hard to do.

I honestly only bought 2k21 for next gen systems. After this year I'm holding off unless I see some major positive reviews on any new 2k games. I'm tired of paying $100 plus every year for a roster update and a new myPlayer.

jchin913:bronze:•

Will the next gen really be that big of a leap?

Does your online gameplay delay?

6
Jesusblewfatclouds:bronze:•

It will be the same leap from 2k13 to 14 when it dropped on XboxONE/Ps4. If you look at the trailer the graphics are def better, and with the better power on the console it can actually render more animations as well as the crowd looks/acts better. So in other words it will LOOK really nice. Idk about gameplay, framerate or server issues lol

2
[deleted]•

I disagree, the leap from 2k13 to 2k14 was revolutionary, such a big leap. Yes, the graphics are nice in, no doubt in next gen but its not that as big as the PS4 jump. There is a reason why its a community consensus on why 2k14 is loved. Also, if you zoom into some of the facescans they don't look updated, its just the lighting that changed. I hope that its because of the pandemic and they couldn't get the players in there to scan em. Bc Steph wasn't in the bubble and his scan looks awesome, same with Klay. Luka and KP, both messed up.

freeporridge20:bronze:•

The amount of lag in the rec is insane animation are still slow and make no sense. Full court passes are random and are not badge or skill related and don’t get me started on if a player quits. The AI turns into Gary Payton on defense and if someone on your team quit they turn into Paul George.

I haven’t bought 2k21 and from the looks of this sub, I made the right choice.

TheGrandRubick:bronze:•

Trust me you did. I live in a country where the minimum wage is about 350$ and I bougt 2k21 with the money I saved up working a part time job as a student and I have never bought anything that was less worth it. They literally REMOVED content in MyCareer. Like what the fuck. Not to mention the countless bugs and glitches and exploits. The curry slide green for instance has been known ever since the first video dropped about it almost on release day, still no fix. MyPark only allows you to play as 2 builds if you want to succeed? Lmao, 2k dont care. You grind an hour for that daily challenge in MyCareer because 2K wants you to get 5 games worth of VC to get a SINGLE ANIMATION? Too bad, you dont get the VC even if you fulfil the requirements 5 times over. What the fuck. Never EVER buying a 2K game again.

2K became an evil monopoly over the years and we all let it happen.

Um...what's the original context of this image? I might be being pessimistic but I feel like it has a very bad undertone...

USC2001:bronze:•

A few years back there was an image floating around of a kid being stepped on, apparently by local police or military. A second photo emerged showing the kid had a boot on him arm. It had the exact same layout as above. But this is the first time I’ve seen it in cartoon form with an adult, so there could be a meme based off the original photo. I’m not sure, but let’s just say I ain’t touching this cartoon version.

First 2K game I’ve bought was 21. It is, without a doubt, the most frustrating and wonky control system out of any sport game I’ve ever played. It is the most frustrating game I’ve ever played, the first game in my 26 years that has made me want to destroy a controller and the room. With that said I’m booting the game up now.

Nope, 2k18 is probably the worst 2k by far. It's the reason I stopped buying 2k games tbh. I never felt so ripped off from a day one purchase

1
skt0315:bronze:•

I feel you. I got 2k18, 19, 20 for free from PS Plus and PS Now but this year I paid full price because of Kobe. but not sure i pay full price for 2k22.

3
shellshocking:bronze:•

As another recent adopter (2k19) I think anywhere you can activate the pause menu is pretty much sublime, like really excellent basketball sim for what it is, and the controls (no aiming 4 mi) are pretty good/responsive.

Fuck literally everything else being the worst. It took two years to fix the park stairs.

Yeah I mean I probably average more than that on my phone. Taking 5 classes at a university and everything being online means I rely on technology a lot, so yeah. And no one is saying that 2k isn’t worthy of your time bro. We all choose to ā€œwasteā€ our time differently. I just wasn’t so sure about devoting so much time to a game that literally is the same every year and has such shitty mechanics. I mean I play... but after about 2 games I am honestly done. Just like you are entitled to have your opinion I am entitled to express mine. After all, it’s not like I am trying to impose anything on you. Calm yourself

After buying 2K every year since 2K10, I finally broke the cycle and stopped at 2K20. The next-gen release was the main reason however, I started modding on PC and it's improved gameplay and aesthetics immensely.

Kayotik_saint:bronze: :psn:•

I love playing the game. I don't cause me pain when I get frozen out of an entire Rec game by a 3-stack that only passes to one another. I don't cause me pain when people come into online play and expect their players to perform the same way they do on pro career games.

I've been playing 2k with my brothers and cousins since 2k9. Before that we played Live from 1997-2008. We decided to skip 2k21 because of the BS that was 2k20. Feels like the end of an era

KingKomma05:bronze: :psn:•

I bought 2k17, skipped until 2k20, and I’m most likely gonna skip next gen until 2k22 or 2k23

The trick is to buy a new sports game every year since they never change after each console release.
