NBA 2K24 Review (Braz)
Alright, I will leave an actual review, instead of just calling 2k "racist towards pc" (which they are). I personally am enjoying the game, but that is because I play with my brother and I took 2k23 off, so I have been waiting over a year to play 2k.
In this game, 2k really did less then the bare minimum. Literally the only thing new in this game is the park design. Everything else is the same (or has been completely removed).
This game is not next gen, which is a huge slap in the face to the PC community, since PC hardware is so much better than that of the PS5 or XBOX. They say nobody plays the game on PC, but clearly that is a flat out lie based on all of these reviews.
Aside from not being next gen, here are the other issues I have with the game:
1. No voice chat - This has been an issue on PC for forever, and makes the game feel kind of lonely. Why is voice chat not enabled? I cant talk to the people I play with or attempt to make new friends over the game. Not having voice chat in 2024 is just unacceptable.
2. No myCareer story - They removed the story entirely, so there is basically no reason to play single player myCareer. If I want to play single player games, I will just use player lock on myLeague.
3. MyCareer is too hard - I usually play myCareer on HoF difficulty, but this year it is impossible to do so. My teammates cannot make a single open shot and ALWAYS take contested layups or midranges. On the other hand, the CPU makes everything they take, even if they are contested. I even dropped the difficulty down to allstar, and it is still not enjoyable.
4. No Myteam - Never really got into myteam, but they basically took it out entirely. I feel bad for anyone who actually bought 2k for myTeam.
5. Season progression is WAY too fast with NO rewards - I have played 16 rec games in 17 hours on the game, and I am already lvl 40 on the season pass with 39 days until the season ends. What am I supposed to play for now? There are no good rewards in this game that warrant me to put the time in. I feel bad for anybody that bought the season pass, because the rewards are awful. You unlock mascots, but not really. You unlock the OPPORTUNITY to spend $100 worth of VC to buy one.
6. Too many hackers - There has got to be an anticheat...there just has to be. Park is LOADED with hackers, like literally one on every court. Rec isnt as bad as park, but I have played with one on my team, and it just made the game not enjoyable. This is only day 5, I am sure they will get worse as time goes on.
7. Everything is too expensive - 2k forces you to spend money on VC if you want the game to be at least somewhat enjoyable. The 100k VC I got from the League pass edition only put my character to a 72 OVR, that is just not fun. Now I can only get 1000 VC per game, which means I have to play like 300 games just to get my player to a 99...Ill pass on that.
In conclusion, these are the main complaints I have, but I am sure as I keep playing I will find more. The fact that they took away more features than they added - and charged FULL PRICE - should be illegal. This game can be fun, and I am sure I will enjoy myleague (I hope), but it should be $10 MAX. I hope 2k listens to these reviews, since it is now top 2 in all time negative reviews on steam.
2K, PLEASE FORGET ABOUT MONEY AND JUST MAKE A GAME PEOPLE CAN ENJOY, IN THE LONG RUN, EVERYONE WILL BENEFIT FROM IT. FOR NOW, I HOPE EVERYONE CONTINUES TO BEAT YOU DOWN UNTIL YOU LISTEN, YOU GREEDY SON OF A GUNS!
