I generally only get newer sports games in a franchise once every few years, as more often then not, they don't change too much each year. 2K games change even less and I hadn't put much serious time into any of them since NBA 2K16 which I played on both PC and console.

I got NBA 2k24 on sale as I do all NBA 2K games because to be honest, they really aren't worth their AAA pricetage considering the fact you need to pour more money into them to be competitive. NBA2K's online play is not friendly for newcomers and has always been a bit grindy with microtransactions to speed up the process to get anywhere, but it was doable.
Not the case with 2K24. Unless you are playing offline alone and don't mind a slow and torturous grind just to get your player up to "average", you will need to spend. They have slowed progression down to a crawl sucking all the fun out of the game for those who don't. You will need to spend and spend and spend to do anything and get anywhere.


It has become nothing more than what should be a F2P game with microtransactions, except it comes with a premium AAA pricetag which is sickening when you learn just how much they make on each NBA 2K game. The graphics and gameplay have barely changed in 8 years and will probably be surpassed on PC by the mobile versions soon enough.
It's yet another outdated lazy stripped down POS cashgrab on PC which is only worth getting at a massive discount if you are playing one on one with your friends. Even then, the servers will be closed soon enough which is what forces people to essentially buy the same game again each year.

This is the worse 2K game I have played and they will keep doing this as long as Take-Two have a monopoly on the NBA license. We really need another company to come in and give them some competition even if it's EA again, but I doubt EA will spend over a billion dollars for a game license...
