    Re: 2k pressuring reviewers to remove low scores?

    What I HATE about this edition is that it is a vc/money grab. i don't play those modes but its wrong regardless. i totally understand complaining about that. id complain like heck too, its disgusting on so many levels.

    but compared to madden yall have a heavenly game. if madden had as much depth as 2k i would pay 100 for it, but madden has about 20% of the depth or gameplay. the current guys over there are working in the right direction (minus longshot which is a waste of resources) but for years it was absolutely pitiful. my all time favorite game ncaa stopped five years ago, and madden hasnt had competiton for a decade. when i opened up 2k15 that i got cheap as an impulse buy i was shocked at the depth and attention to detail in myleague. 2k15 was made two years before madden 17, and wasnt even regarded as that great by people on here. 2ks franchise mode is 10 times better than maddens, it makes me sad to think about it honestly. be thankful for that and corporate board people that cater to the hardcores with the new features (unlike madden where the devs usually want to try neat stuff but sometimes the suits or MUters say no).

      Is sarcasm that hard to read? I thought I made it fairly obvious with the 'lol'.

      I haven't purchased any VC ever, and I've never had an issue in MyPlayer. Mass Effect 3 required you to buy DLC to finish the game, just as one example of far worse handling of post-launch transactions.

      Lol just looked at your post history, Moe was right. Live fan doing nothing but complaining in the other forum. Lame.

        I think most of the negativity from the review was based around micro transactions, which is completely understandable. Is 3/10 a little too harsh? I think so, but it's a red flag that 2K pressured those guys to take down the score.

        Either way, one would expect that 2K would've learned from this. Wasn't it in 2K14 or 15 where they were criticized heavily about VC, so much so that they apologized and tuned it down? I may be wrong, don't quote me on that. But every year seems to be getting worse with VC.

          You do know that 2k is part of a take two and they are they onces that have micro transitions in all their games and made 500 million dollars just off of it, the 3 out of 10 score was ridiculous plan and simple, the reviews wanted to screw 2k that was their objective.

            This is a little beside the point, but why are people saying this is a $150 game? The game costs $60. You don't have to buy the most expensive edition, you know.

              Videogames are a billion dollar industry. Companies see others making a lot of money off of these microtransactions and they want that too.

              These companies have share holders and investors, etc. These people want returns on their investment. Videogames are not a mom and pop operation, they are corporate.

              I'm not supporting microtransactions, I'm just giving you all the reality of it all. The only way you stop it, is to not buy the game and I'm not saying that to be mean or to attack anyone. I'm just saying that might be the way.

                Hot take: If they invest the money made from it into making the game better, then it's a good thing...

                      Re: 2k pressuring reviewers to remove low scores?

                      ok for my part, i'm really happy to see a 3/10 because of the classic team!!
                      Maybe i will buy 2k18 and it will be my first game on NG but for the moment i'm still playing to 2k12 for classic team!!
                      How can you make a comparison between 2k12 classic player modelisation and 2k18?
                      I love every thing in 2k12, gameplay (first 2k game with triangle button), classic players, playbook, and i would like a technic to recover MY Kings 01 and MY Warriors 91 on PS3 because i erased some important save just before 2k13 thinking 2k13 would be better than 2k12 in terms of classic content, but 2k13 didn't have Webber, no other classic teams (just the 01 sixers), and lost a lot of good TO.
                      So i would like 2k reopen server for 2k12 to recover those 2 teams because i paid for those teams and now when i'm watching the result of Kings 01 on NG, i just want to throw up!! Just about the Arena which is wrong without logo around the paint while 2k12 had it!!
                      +++ NBA 2k on NG have a small court
                      +++ still not classic paint!!!
                      +++ VC point
                      +++ No all time coach for all time Bulls?
                      +++ Scott Williams have the good Hair cut in Bulls vs Blazers on Megadrive
                      +++ I don't care of My Player, my career
                      +++ etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

                      so yes my note would have been 3/10 too!!!

                        The only way they reopen those servers is if people were willing to pay for them. Most games that old have closed their servers.

                          yes so i have been suckered in!!!
                          Do you think it is normal? Do you think i could guess that 2k13, ... 2k18 Kings 01 will be like that!
                          I couldn't imagine something like that!
                          I only could imagine better classic content, but not a catastrophic regression!

                          that's the reason why, after 5 years, 2k18 must be BANNED!!
