    NBA 2K is still the best basketball simulator on the market... But it has no competition either. There are improvements and additions, as every year, but it seems that every time it has to feed more modes and experiences, but does not give enough to have to prioritize what counts with micropayments. It's a good (even great) game when you're on track, but everything else is still several notches below.

The badge regression system encourages more ball hogging and they locked the daily wheel spin behind playing park games. They're making bad decisions after bad decisions. Do not buy this game!

The graphics are improved, but the gameplay does not feel like a leap, it’s really not much different than ‘23, at least not enough to justify $70. This is monopoly at its finest. EA should be putting in a product to compete with 2K, otherwise the result is laziness. Full Review »
