Would you pay for annual roster updates instead of annual editions?

[howardphillips214]

If on next gen 2k decided to just put out "NBA 2K" and updated it yearly with a 60 roster update, would you like that model instead?

To me... This would fix a lot of the issues we have every year. There's always game breaking launch issues for the first 2 weeks. Then half the patches break the game. Only for them to fix the problem the last patch made with a new patch. Then 6 months into the year, we're not even playing the same game they thought they were putting out at launch. It just becomes this ugly hodge podge of the previous edition and the "new" one.

If they ditched the annual release entirely, they could tune the build till it's done. Then roll out new patches when they really want to add stuff.

Why would anyone not? Especially after this season. I'd be totally ok with pay 20 bucks for roster updates. Pandemic has caused enough problems this year. I'm sure logistically they are having trouble developing for next year. It wouldn't be a bad thing for them.

Only reason I could see anyone objecting is the idea that they ought to just do one release every two years and update the rosters for free.

The only way I would be interested in that, is if they also updated My League, with the commentary and the season to the next yr, instead of playing with the current rosters, in the previous seasons calendar, so it would have to be more than just a roster update for me.

Obviously they would bring a whole patch. But look. Ain't no way in hell they are going to do it. This is about MONEY.

Yeah,the way I understand it they are making far more money on VC and MyTeam packs than they are on physical sales at this point.It might actually benefit them to go full on WoW style and just release new cosmetics, card packs,boosts,etc.

They could still do roster updates with patches but at least in the meanwhile they could also fine tune the game so that its a consistent experience instead having to rebalance everything every year.

It would also let them flesh the game out more since they won't have to develop an entire new game every single year.
