    After a weekend of intense play on the courts of NBA 2K24, the observation is there: the mechanics are very different from last season to perform on the floors, and progress in the career. It is less obvious to have a very complete player online, and the new defense and contact system will delight the greatest defenders and screen setters at heart. To complement the many hours of gaming required online, the single-player content of the software is still gargantuan, with welcome new features. We will simply complain about the ever more invasive micro-transaction system to progress quickly, and a Mamba Moments mode tribute to Kobe not at the level of that of Michael Jordan last season.

    NBA 2K24 is a video game that convinces but falls short on microtransactions in the career mode, improving little, offering an interesting city to explore and in which to make choices. The progress made is notable, especially in the most requested ways, but it could have aimed for something more.

    NBA 2K24 is two games in one: it's a basketball manual full of love and a video game full of microtransactions. But you only notice the latter when you try to win in the City playground, the rest of the game is a solid experience and the best basketball game yet.

    Despite some issues and a weaker entry than last year, there's still plenty to enjoy in NBA 2K24. The gameplay continues to be refined with smart tweaks, and the visuals are among the best in the genre. However, the continued push of microtransactions continues to leave a sour taste, and MyCareer is a disappointment this time out.

    Impressively well produced and extremely playable, but there are few changes from last year and the microtransactions are still obnoxious.

    While interesting iterative improvements can sometimes be greater than the sum of their parts, the in-game economy hampers much of the goodwill that may derive from elsewhere in the game. I shouldn't have to talk about money this much in a basketball game. But in this series, it's become unavoidable. NBA 2K24 feels like a game made by details-obsessed basketball experts unfortunately hamstrung by bottom-line-obsessed executives.

    NBA 2K24 is an overall disappointment compared to not only NBA 2K23 but past NBA titles too. To see how far it’s fallen, all the past great features no longer included, it hurts to see that the only thing that matters is how much VC someone spends on a game. This is the first year that we’ve seen 2K blatantly be VC-heavy and it won’t be the last. Nobody should have to purchase a game that expects you to pay more on top of that. NBA 2K24 is the perfect example for game developers everywhere of what not to do in the gaming industry unless you’re greedy and don’t care about fans.

About 200$ to pay to level yourThe absolute worst kind of consumer predatory pay to win garbage you can imagine. 90$ Canadian for the game. About 200$ to pay to level your character up to be competitive. About 15$ for season pass to myteam which if like last year will have 9 seasons so about another 135$. For total of $425 CAD. They are making gaming a hobby for the rich. No auction house. You need to play about 300 games to earn enough mt to buy a myteam amethyst player and immediately lose 50-60% of the value. 2k are criminals. This is digital mafia behaviour and they should be investigated. They are shameless and have made a soulless game. The NBA should be ashamed for being attached to this digital fraud. 2k and VC and its staff should all be disgusted with themselves. Kobe would be appalled.… Expand

    Predatory, and very unethical game design.

    2K charged $70 for a MyCareer mode without an actual story. They created a problem and also created the solution. Worried about your character not doing well? Buy some VC for real world money. Oh no, your badge progress is regressing. Just give us a ton of money and we can sort of stop that for you. Some of the badges that regress do not even register as being used.

Si, 14, lo he dicho bien, 14, busquen videos, el nba 2k14 si lo comparamos con el nba 2k24 de NEXT GEN parece un juego entonces de PS6. Es increíble como año a año ha sido sometido a downgrade este juego, y como puede ser que un juego de casi PS3 ( es el primero que fue next gen para ps4, se podría decir que era un upgrade de ps3 ) sea mejor visualmente ( y jugablemente ) que uno de PS5 ya bien entrado a casi la mitad de la generación y nos dan esta aberración de caras, cuerpos de plastilina, y penosos gráficos para ser PS5. Ni aunque estuviera gratis como el efootball lo jugaría. Triste el pobre individuo que haya gastado dinero en este juego y mas el que se va a gastar por su ludopatía en MT o VC, el peor juego que puede existir de basquet, quien te ha visto y quien te ve 2K.… Expand
