I bought 3 NBA2k game 3 years in a row starting with 2k14 and stopped because of how obviously bad it was getting. Then i bought 2k19 in the sale and holy shit it was as bad as a mobile game if not worse.,(reply>), @Nicholas Evanssure but it was much easier to level by playing career than it is now.,(reply>), On the day of release when I had 2k14, many people had already become 80-90 rated purely because the only way to rank up their player fast enough is through micro transactions.,(reply>), @PasserMontanus imo 2k14 and 15 were actually pretty good. It was until 2k16 and I borrowed 2k17 that the bullshit began to skyrocket.
