I wanted to write a much more in depth review of this game, but I figured it wasn't worth the time. So here's the short version. The game hasn't evolved much since I last played a 2k game actively, which was back in 2014. The servers are still lagging like crazy and everything costs an egregious amount of VC. On higher difficulty in MyCareer, it's pretty much 1v9. Your teammates can't hit a wide open shot if their life depended on it. Gameplaywise, there's still a heavy focus on animations, which more often than not cause you to get blocked, commit a turnover or just lead to your opponent scoring. Cheesy tactics like zigzagging haven't been fixed. Defending feels clunky and unresponsive. The entire MyTeam grinding has been cranked up to 1000, just for the sake of it (600 wins of TTO for a 95 OVR player when I can just get one with a locker code? What's the point?). Sometimes I can't even get into a game because the game is stuck on the loading screen, which forces one of the players to quit and get an automatic loss. All in all, I'm glad I got this game on sale, because there ain't no way in hell I'll ever pay full price for a game like ever again. As long as 2k has it's chokehold on the basketball license and no competition, I can't see them ever committing to something better than whatever the **** this garbage is supposed to be.
