1. Riddled with micro-transactions This is possibly the worst case of micro-transactions I have ever seen. If you want to play MyCareer/MyPark/ProAM you need a decent player. You start at 60ovr, right at the bottom, you have two choices, either buy VC with real money or grind out 200hrs+ to get a decent character. And that's just essential stat upgrades, animations are seperate, the same applies for cosmetics such as...

The 2K team is so smart, i found that the MC has about 2 hours for the unskippable scenario, and after 2 hours playing, you will find that the game is not refundable. You win 2k. 2K的开发团队是真鸡儿聪明，光特么的过场剧情就2小时，玩了两小时后，这TMD游戏申请退款就不会成功了，你赢了2K.

See that nice 75% coupon they just gave everyone? Don't fall for it, this game is the biggest piece of garbage I have ever played. The animations are horrible and there is some weird kind of uncanny valley going on its like they went backwards from their previous games where players animations were good. Multiplayer will only last another year or so since they always shut down the servers, word is its full of...

This game is all about making money for 2K and advertising- has nothing to do with either real basketball & simulation!!! I have been playing 2k basketball probably since the first games came out and one thing is for sure, this Year the game has nothing to do with real basketball and has everything to do with money and VC. If You play My Career - rememeber, it is going to be a constant dissapointment and will be...

I bought this with the main purpose of playing through the single player mode "MyCareer". Most sports games now have some sort of, 'build your own hero' mode, and that's the gist of MyCareer. The other reviews warned me, "Don't buy this the Virtual Currency is way too expensive". I thought, "nah, I don't mind grinding." Turns out that after playing for a few hours, I am so totally frustrated with my poor lvl 63...

Strap in because this is the biggest money grab you've seen from 2k yet! I mainly play My Career so this review is from that prospective. Pros: Character models look pretty good. Gameplay feels smooth. I actually like how defense feels this time out. Cons: 2k has always been pretty greedy but this year just feels savage. First there are only about 5 hairstyles unlocked for your character at the start of the game....

-start at 60 overall -cannot run, shoot, pass, dribble, make open layups, rebound or get open -need a lot of VC to upgrade your attributes -can't earn VC because you can't play well without decent attributes -a long, depressing grind to get to 70 -even then you are still rated the same as players who don't get a minute in a whole season

Okay so... i did some math and this is my biggest issue with the game (and basically everyone else's biggest issue, if not their second biggest issue). So it takes roughly 200,000 vc to get your player to just 85. 85 is around when you start to actually be pretty good and dont miss so many open shots and stuff like that. Grinding mycareer to get 200k vc will take around 200+ games (1000 vc per game). Let's say each...

I bought the game for MyCareer, as it is the only mode that fully interests me. I see a lot of people talking about slow progression and P2W but I enjoy the feeling of slow progression, it fits with the character you play. Obviously you're not joining the league as a Karl-Anthnoy Towns, you're just a random player with potential. Anyway, I would not recommend the game. It feels like 2018 is not... 2018 material. In...

Been playing 2k since 2001. Would have recommended every single one to anyone who asked, albeit with increasing hesitance. Years of server issues, damaging animation glitches gone unfixed, etc. However, as a longtime fan of a game that has the greatest ambition and consistent execution as a sports franchise, I can say without reservation that this year's game is a bridge too far. Two reasons: 1. VC VC VC VC. You...
