NBA 2K17's Run: A Mostly Successful Outing

Year to year saves would be great

Was looking through some of the older threads and came across this one. With all due respect, I think this was very far from a successful outing.

As you can see here, the majority of the community agrees with me to an extent: http://operationsports.com/forums/nb...7-overall.html

Now, you're entitled to your own opinion which I 100% respect and you had every right to make this thread and say how you felt about the game. However, I think the major problem is that 2k has little competition and as a result, they haven't worked as hard as they could have on the past couple of games. We need to get back to the point where we expect 2k to release games where we know they will be playable and fun right out of the box.

IMO, Biased threads and reviews about the game where the weaknesses and problems are either addressed to the bare minimum or sometimes not even addressed at all are the exact reason why 2k has put less and less effort into the games as the years have gone on. They're starting to see that they have no competition so they think it's okay if they don't put in as much effort as they used to simply because they don't expect us to get heated about it since they're pretty much the only usable sim basketball game on the market.

Blatent AI boosts and default unbalanced sliders make another year of 80% of players frustrated at difficulty level. -OrlandoInChicago was the first person to reach Legend. Go watch his YT video on his 'reward'. He gets NOTHING. And 2k support says that the reward for Legend 1 was the Jetpack...when it clearly says its a reward for a SS rank. Support also said they have no information as to what immortalized in 2k18 means. Wait...what? Other games would send the first gamer a plaque, certificate, something...2k...legit NOTHING. Orlando legit says DO NOT GRIND FOR THIS ITS NOT WORTH IT. That coming from someone who did it.. -ProAm qualifications are over and I personally can no longer play walk-on with friends. -MyCareer equals ZERO skill. Can put it on rookie and mindlessly play for magical badges that add boosts. No skill needed to obtain these and no incentive to anything challenging. Play on rookie to get hot spots up so online is money. Actually is not smart to play on anything other than rookie...can just buy VC with real money. -Online is a joke, and even top Youtubers think so. ManMan, Staxx, Agent, Shakedown, and more...ALL RIP ON 2k GAMEPLAY. Same gameplay for like 5 years. ManMan hates these spam dribblers and said in a video that "nothing in this game means anything. Flicking a stick doen not make you good at basketball." STaxx been said "why am I even playing this game still." Even the people who make money off playing 2k hate it. These dudes should be overjoyed at cheese dribble moves, but they don't. Its boring and literally everyone plays exactly the same online. In no way, NO WAY WHATSOEVER, does being good/successful at 2k mean you are smart or good with basketball...or EVEN VIDEO GAMES. Its 3 buttons bro, and people act like they just timed a perfect infiltration in CS:GO. What on earth is the point in putting another hour into this game?

If you still buy 2k18 then I don't understand be the point of this
