Lol, more hyperbole. I played video games before and after the Internet. The Internet didn't ruin anything. Now I pay with friends spread out across the country. Couldn't do that without Internet. Also, being able to download patches is awesome. Back in the day you had to live with that broke game.

only nba 2k would release a 2 gb patch for absolutely nothing....im done after this year and it hasnothing to do with this....here is what i think is most important to them now...selling you VC 1st priority.....turning it into call of duty tournament trash...it will be funny to watch a bunch of people fumbling around while the ball is knocked loose constantly and the gameplay resembles rugby instead of a basketball game.goodluck 2k i personally think your to lazy to pull it off....

I get what he's saying though. It ruined it as far as giving too many people a voice.

Now, I'm all for community, I'm all for online multi player, and patches to fix games are awesome. The problem becomes core audience vs. Casual players. Your core audience wants fixes for X reasons, your casual players want opposite.

Just look at 2k16. One group will tell you shooting is broken because they miss a wide open shot. The other will tell you it's fine because this accurately depicts the fact that even the best shooters are not guaranteed to hit every shot.

Every aspect of the game, and most games, are like this now. I went into gamestop yesterday, and the clerk was telling me how everyone is talking about Live being better than 2k this year. When I asked what the common opinion was (after nearly doing a spit take), He said that "Shooting is better, ball handling is better, etc".

The squeaky wheel gets greased, so to speak. In this age, Enough people complaining can change a game. This change can be better or worse. If enough people complained about something, and I mean enough that It looks like it would hurt 2k's bottom line, it'll get changed within reason. These are companies. They want $$$. If it looks like something will prevent them from obtaining money they will make sure it gets changed.

OS is a small community. On the grander scale Facebook, Reddit, Youtube, and Twitter are massive entities compared to here. For every one person that likes how the game works, and understands why it's programmed the way it is from a basic basketball perspective there are probably 15 that do not. They don't care about using a pick and roll, or a floppy set to get Thompson open. They only see Curry cross up 2 guys and bury a 3 in someone's eye. When the game doesn't allow for that every posession it is "broken". That forces 2k to try to appease the majority since there's more dollar signs in those 15 people, than our 1 person. I can't even blame them either, since they are a business.

That is how the internet is/has ruined gaming, among other ways

If that were true we'd have anti-cheating support on the PC by now.

The teams haven't even been announced yet, only the starters.

have there any changes been made to mycareer? do i still have to play 45 mins, even though my team leads with 20 since the end of the 3rd quarter? are my team mates still defending like complete idiots from time to time?

Can anyone explain what the issue is with post game replays on PS4? From what I understand they work fine on XB1 and PC, so what's the deal. I play tons of sports games on my PS4 and memory never seems to be a problem for any of them, so why this game?

Can someone at 2k please acknowledge this issue and provide an explanation? Last year I was bummed, this year I'm relatively angry about it. Kinda feel duped honestly, because they clearly knew there was an issue with this console and nothing ever gets mentioned about it.

I don't know, maybe most people don't care about watching the highlights, but it's always been one of my favorite things about the game. I hate stopping the flow of a game to watch replays, so when I make a good play my first thought is "I can't wait to see that in the post game".

Just me?

Good luck with getting an explanation from 2K. We've been waiting for one 3 years & counting......
