I have given this game a chance but it just brings me more frustration than FUN
Here are my list of reasons...
1. NBA 2k24 PC version is not Next-Gen and is missing content that is provided in the PS5 version.
They couldn't even put in the NEW SCOREBOARD. Modders have made a version of the new scoreboard for PC before 2k. How lazy can you be???
Here's another example..
In MyTeam you can equip a Home / Away and Alternate Jersey...EVERYTIME 2k releases new Season Jerseys they only release 2 (Home & Away) with no Alternate Jersey...LMAO
They don't even know their own Game...SMH

2. NBA 2k24 PC costs the same price as the PS5 Next-Gen version meaning I'm paying more for less. #GREED #FRAUD

3. The Game has sooo many Bugs and even if you open a ticket with 2k Support (I have opened over 10 tickets) they eventually close your ticket without resolving the issue.
Here are some examples...
a) Playing an opponent that has the same color or identical Jersey as you and getting a LOSS and potentially BANNED if you quit the game.
b) Cannot save the Camera view in Triple Threat even though there is a SAVE option
c) Intermittent Game Freezes for 30+ seconds sometimes resulting in a mid-game crash
d) Getting stuck in a loop in MyCareer when trying to play games with other Online Players
e) Season 4 Jerseys # font is too big and doesn't display properly in game or Edit Screen on PC
f) Matchmaking is terrible...You can have a Team of Emeralds and be forced to play against Pink Diamonds
g) Cannot change the Camera View for MyCourt in MyCareer
h) Random Game Crashes to Desktop for no apparent reason
i) The Badges and Playbooks are different on PC vs. PS5
j) Some Menu Navigation options don't work on MyTeam PC (it says press LT or RT but nothing happens)
and so MUCH MORE....

4. Too many Micro-Transactions
The Player Market (controlled by 2k) that has replaced the Auction House is too expensive. If you want to try out a new card...you will instantly lose 60% of the original value. If you choose to sell the Card because you don't like it or want to get a better Player Card. A 60% money grab by 2k for what!?!?!? #BigPimpin

5. Too much Gambling
(Game Pack Odds are questionable)
Every Reward you receive after winning a game that has value is attached to a gambling component (spin the wheel, drop the ball, open the door) that is manipulated by 2k Sports to encourage you to spend money.
This is achieved by making you BUY crappy Player Packs with odds that are NOT in your favor after you DON'T get the Reward you actually wanted for winning the Game or completing the Challenge.
When you purchase "Player Packs" YOU have less than 2% odds to get a Top Tier Card at a minimum cost of 4000 MT per Pack you BUY. Your best chance to get a top Tier card at 13% odds costs 21000 MT per "Deluxe Player Pack"...OR...You can BUY a Top Tier Card for over 200000 MT (instant 60% loss in Value) if it isn't locked behind a PAYWALL of 800000 MT...LMAO
DO NOT BUY BASE PACKS...they are worthless!!! (2k nerfed the odds so they are even worse)
OHHHHHHH...I forgot...
This is how much you earn per Game approximately...
The GRIND is REAL CRAZY!!
So your option is "SPEND REAL MONEY" or "NO LIFE" the Game
1 Triple Threat Game = 400 to 800 MT
1 Clutch Time Game = 800 to 1200 MT
1 Domination Game 2500 to 4000 MT

6. Gameplay is clunky and choppy with animations...it sometimes feels like there is a wall in front of you or that you got cement in your shoes.

7. If you want to play MyTeam or My Career expect to pay a minimum of $500 over the 9 Seasons OR Have NO LIFE trying to GRIND out the GAME for FREE and still always be at a disadvantage vs. opponents who spend money on the GAME.

8. The Game AI (Artificial Intelligence) can be overpowered making some Challenges impossible or extremely frustrating requiring the use of METAs which make the game irritating, boring and monotonous.
All Star Difficulty is broken...the CPU fouls you, pushes you out of bounds, in-air collisions, clothesline you in mid-air = No Foul Call
How is a 6 ft. 200 lb. Guard able to BULLY 7ft 280+lbs CENTERS?!?! GTFOH
YOUR players feel like they should be playing in the "F-League" They can no longer defend, dribble, move, pass, layup, dunk or shoot. Once Again, all REWARDS worth getting are usually achieved on "All-Star" Difficulty. In the meantime, the CPU can't miss a shot and does EVERYTHING FASTER and MORE EFFICIENTLY than YOU.
It is so noticeable and it becomes CLEAR 2k has done this on purpose. 2k plays with the animations and obviously the settings in any Challenge (Pro and All-Star) when the REWARD is good. The difficulty feels so different...the game plays choppy especially when the AI is trying to CHEAT or Manipulate the Gameplay.
2k's goal is to frustrate you sooo much...that you SPEND money on Shortcuts (Buying Packs) which is the most scummiest form of MANIPULATION. #Psychology
It feels like 2k is teasing you with a FREE Deluxe Pack that is extremely hard to get if at all. It just makes me hate the game more and more each time I play it...It has to be the most unsatisfying experience I have ever had playing a game....compared to Forza 4 that rewards you constantly just for driving your car.
Remember this is on Pro or All-Star Difficulty...
I dare you to try HOF Domination...You will probably break your Controller or Monitor...SMH
It makes me wonder if 2K really wants us to play their game or complete Challenges...
Of Course not...there is no MONEY for them in that.

9. Multiplayer Modes can be very choppy making it difficult to time your shots
Shooting is more harder in NBA2k24 than in previous versions and some of the BEST REWARDS are provided in Multiplayer Mode...LMAO
I don't even waste my time doing Multiplayer Challenges any more because it gets me so irritated. The VARIABLE SHOT TIMING and SHOT CONTEST SYSTEM is HORRIBLE...I miss perfect Green Shots, Free Throws and Layups. Anyone who tells you shooting is EASY is LYING or CHEATING...lol
Think about it...2k get numerous complaints about their SERVERS but they still make the best REWARDS available ONLY through MULTIPLAYER...how tone deaf can 2k be????

10. The players you REALLY want in MyTeam or give you the best chance of success are locked behind a PAYWALL...
Sellable and Unsellable Player Cards...???
Let me make it simple...
Cards you BUY are usually Sellable...MOST cards you Win or are REWARDED are Unsellable.
Unsellable cards have more limitations in regards to VALUE, applying additional Badges and in some cases cannot be used in Exhibitions or The Exchange. Cards that YOU purchase do not have these limitations.
Every other game I play manages to find a balance between Challenge / Monetization / Player Enjoyment. 2k has lost touch with the Player Base and thinks that it's ok to spend THOUSANDS of DOLLARS a Year to play a BROKEN Video Game that is COPY and PASTE of last year (The same bugs in the game for YEARS)

Spending Thousands of dollars on a basketball video game that is released annually with no carryover of YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS, YOUR VC or YOUR MT = $$$$$$ in the TOILET and TONS of WASTED TIME.
Yes!!!
People have even posted receipts online of spending over 5k on an NBA 2k game....That is INSANE!!!
I can go on forever but it's not worth my time...I wasted enough already.

2k has taken the fun out of this game...All they care about is making money and not the Quality of Product they sell....That is more than obvious.
If there is a mistake in pricing or a Reward that they feel we don't deserve... 2k will fix it in MINUTES... Game-breaking bugs that affect Gameplay and QOL (Quality of Life) are fixed WHENEVER...
If you buy or own NBA 2k24...play "No money spent" or the other OFFLINE Modes.
Save YOUR MONEY and buy a CAR or a HOUSE...lmao
DO NOT DRINK the NBA2K "Kool-Aid"
