NBA 2K24 is a solid Basketball sim that offers tons of content, and the new ProPlay animation technology takes the gameplay to a whole new level, making it one of the most complete NBA games we’ve seen in recent memory.
When we are on the court, we have nothing but good words for NBA 2K24, with a solid gameplay, improved thanks to ProPLAY, and amazing visuals. The problems come when we go out of it, finding the always present microtransactions and other decisions difficult to understand.
NBA 2K24 continues to dominate the paint when it comes to mainstream success. It also looks to dominate the wallets of fans each year. The game is undoubtedly fun to play along with its great gameplay and graphics, but the gutting of MyCAREER and increased incorporation of virtual currency does leave a bad taste at times.
Pay-to-win mechanics aside, NBA 2K24 is a solid basketball sim with unrivalled authenticity; just don’t expect a huge leap forward from last year’s title.
No two basketball games play out the same, and the same can be said for NBA 2K24‘s variety of modes and features. ProPlay was a welcome addition to the overall feel of the gameplay, adding an extra level of realism. Some modes work extremely well, like The W, and others like the career mode fizzle out, but overall the gameplay itself is great. Unfortunately, having microtransactions at what feels like every corner is a real letdown for something that otherwise has real potential.
I really like the on-court action and think most of the modes have cool ideas, but everything is being brought down by an abundance of microtransactions. Sure, they've been there for years, but this year something feels different. I'm not saying you should skip NBA 2K24, just go in with your eyes fully open. If you're someone who can't control their purchasing decisions, 2K will use every trick in the book to tempt you. For me, that's not really an issue, and I'm a fan of 2K24 because of it, but it's absolutely something everyone needs to ask themselves before diving in.
Regardless of what this review says, NBA 2K24 will sell millions of copies, and generate millions of dollars through VC. That is because basketball fans who want to play a basketball game have nowhere else to go. The on court action is really good, but without competition to keep them honest, 2K's monetisation has got out of hand and made modes like MyCareer near unplayable without extra investment from players.
Besides the online system that by the way in every sport game like efootball,fifa there r microtransactions the gameplay is the best of 2k in the last **** new proplay system truly elevates the mechanics and responsiveness if the **** for the graphics if y have a ps5 or xbxsx its truly like you watching an nba match.
So the newest version of our yearly release…what to say, I like it more than last year! Which focus do I have, I play usually the myPlayer mode, but then more the NBA career. This year finally the presentation is improved ingame, more cutscenes, what I like. It is fun to lineup with friends in some easy 3on3 games and the REC is fun as well if you want to have solid quick games online. Further I like that the story is cut more to Basketball than to TikTok and all the other crap we needed to do last year.Graphic as usual, pretty good! Presentation ingame as usual, pretty good!The **** I bought the Mamba Edition with 100k VC, that helped me to improve myPlayer to a competitive level against the AI on All Star, but online I still feel sometime like an OVR 60 player. I am now 87 OVR. So if I would have the “normal” player with a start rating of 60, you shall compete against Giannis, LeBron and so on as “you” are the new star…this is BS. The grind getting VC is ridiculous. The next thing is jumpshots. I have a decent rating on mid range and short range. This works perfect against the AI, but as soon as I am online no shots gonna fall, I do not know the **** all in all, ok game, the netcode needs improvement, good to have some Basketball if you want it, but it will be not my main focus game.
Tellement déçu par le temps infini nécessaire pour obtenir un joueur de bon niveau. Pour ensuite aller jouer en online et avoir un jeu complètement différent où tout ce qu’on maitrise et fait offline est bon à jeter à la poubelle. De nombreuses heures de jeu perdues. Je déconseille l’achat.w
