They load them up with VC is why. Nothing will change cause the majority of the playerbase will continue to buy sums of VC.

NBA2K community rise up. Gets Fix2K to #1 trending on Twitter.
- Thread starter Justified

In years past you could spend like 1000 VC to convince a guy to sign an extension and stuff like that. Your owner gives you VC rewards for meeting his goals. The payout of playing a manager mode game though is very small — 250 or so instead of say like 1200.
I'll just play 2K19 which I got for almost free, and then get this when it hits a similar price point, I believe it was like $3.
Also, this thread is basically a Jim Sterling signal.

Do they review it as a Basketball game or a Casino game though? Maybe it's pretty good as a Casino game?!
Game play feels completely updated, it's a testament to how great the team is at making a great basketball game. The always online bit with terrible servers is definitely obnoxious. I wasn't able to play through the story when there was the outage, which should not be a thing at all. Having to go through online to update my player is always obnoxious. Definitely the best product when it comes to game play and modes and the worst when it comes to everything involving an internet connection.
I experienced none of this. Maybe the load times are a little longer than last year? Certainly not "extremely long" though.
i have yet to have a single one of those issues
load times are the quickest ive had since 2k17..............i also have an SSD in my Pro
Progression is working as intended, no more badge grinds either thank god. You earn the point and just spend it on anything you want.
Have played 15 games in mycareer and haven't crashed once
Also improving your character is the fastest it has been since the PS3 days.
This is actually the most enjoyable 2k in a long time and my brother thinks the same. We both haven't had this much fun in a career mode since 2K17. You are not stuck loading into a crappy neighborhood after every game, everything to access for the most part is menu based and its extremely fast loading into just playing basketball. Slashers are fun, shooting is fun, playing a center is fun again.
I wonder if everyones complaints is because of the neighborhood/park..........which we rarely touch and bother with because its always been garbage, apparently they just now finally fed up with it.

In 2K the servers and VC go hand in hand. They always gotta update through the server when you earn/spend VC. So you could literally finish a game, earn VC and then its crashing theoretically which seems to be what is happening on occasions.
It's funny how all the money they make from MTX isn't used to improve the core product.
Edit: Core product is supposed to be a basketball game, not MTX casino games. But 2Ks core product with NBA 2K series has become MTX casino games and advertisements.
Maybe if the game wouldn't need to check the VC with the server every second there would be less server issues.
Which is why I trust community reviews more than the garbage IGN and their like spews
Hella surprised Sony hasn't tried to do NBA the Show again.
Is there any way to check your User stats in this series? Is there a career profile section (like overwatch) where I can see them?
I mean, every 2K game is like this, it really doesn't matter, people still buy it on Steam.
Heh.
Also, most of those reviews are negative because it's super easy to use Cheat Engine and give yourself a million VC if you want, so all the competitive modes (like MyTeam) are fucked.
Don't want to sound like THAT guy but I had a pretty flawless experience in terms are crash and all (OGPS4 here). The VC grind seems (altho I haven't played much) pretty disminshed this year - my biggest gripes are the stripped down and pretty much useless offline MyGM experience and the terrible MyCAREER story.
Now granted I haven't played online and don't really plan to.

This whole weekend I experienced it. After finishing a Park game, it just freezes for 3-5 minutes. Trying to upgrade your attributes takes forever, yesterday I couldnt even do it. When I went to apply it I kept getting "purchase failed"
What platform are you on? Seems like maybe PC got it worse than consoles.
Stop buying it, and get NBA Live whenever it comes out instead. The Create-a-Player modes don't have any mtx, and progression to starter levels is actually pretty quick. I hope EA still plans on releasing it instead of cancelling.
PS4(pro). But it doesnt seems to be a console/device thing, but a server side thing
The NBA2K games had always had all kinds of gameplay, system and internet problems. The devs always either remain silent or refuse to acknowledge these problems.
Couple that with the atrocious loot box scams, makes 2k one of the worst developer and publisher.
Finally people are made aware of how shitty these games really are.

I didn't realize the cultural impact this game has outside of my gaming bubble. It's fucking massive and a bunch on viral IG channels keep making memes about it's release as well as celebs and comments on general. This game really has that mindshare.
On Steam this has 2/10 rating (overwhelmingly negative). I have never seen a game score so low on steam
i did my part, I did not buy it this year for the first time ever. Im done with VC and MT. Im done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no sympathy for people who buy the same game with the same issues every year. That said, it sounds like NBA2K20 is actually pretty good, based on this thread, so good for them.
It cost buyable currency to unlock the option to change your lineup in the default associate mode in 2KTWELEVE
you people are all responsible!!
edit: actually I think it was 13. It was the last one I bought.
theres like...............6 reviews all from outlets that don't matter
lets wait till the IGN and stuff start gloating before we go its getting praised.
I picked it up on Steam last week. I'm blown away by how good it looks and how fast the load times are - but I'm also playing off of an SSD with a 1080ti and Gsync monitor.
I'm sure the grind is still terrible, but I'm still in the honeymoon phase. Have only played myTeam. Haven't spent anything on microtransactions (yet).

It's been shit since 2k17 (and pretty bad even earlier) I stopped buying the games till they drop to less than $10.
VC is cancer and it's the worst mtx there is, like people arguing how bad Battlefront 2 or Fifa's mtx but they aren't even in the same league on how scummy nba2k is. I'm tired of the community ignoring this shi tbh

Mike Wang (the lead dev) has had a few "cryptic" tweets like this. I know it was always percived, but I think its even more obvious now that Take Two is telling them to do whatever make players spend more VC, smh
2K20s icon is just 2K19s again.
Last week, it was #FixMadden
This week, it was #FixNBA2K
Next week, #FixNHL20
3 weeks from now, #FixFIFA20
It's been delayed but EA could likely just kill it anyways.
