Hmm? 2k15 was a stuttery mess last year as well but after the patch everything was smoothed out. If I recall we got the patch early as well last year.

Had no technical issues with NBA2K15 last year and I got the game on launch. And I was running on lower hardware and SLI configuration.

This year's version is a mess and it's no wonder they're getting backlash from the pc community. With some bugs being apparent after a couple of minutes of play, it's impossible that they properly QA'd this game or they knew and they Batman'd it.

Love the game so far and the only issue for me is that the commentary sometimes stops working.

Gameplay is amazing and 2k did great work again. The Community really seems to be super hard on them. Compared to my other sports passion (football) basketball players are blessed with 2Ks work!

Which it inevitably does for just about every PC title ever because they can't test 2343252353 different PC configurations as opposed to to just 2 or 3 for consoles. You want to see low Steam reviews, watch when Fallout 4 releases soon with all the technical and gameplay launch problems that Bethesda games are infamous for.

2k has in their team at least 2 pc experts. In 2 days they could have tested the game in various setups. The problems with sound and commentary are obvious the moment you launch the game. What happened is: They tested the game, spotted the problems and said "We will fix them after the game releases" or they didn't even play a full game on pc. Both are unacceptable. We're nearly 1 month after the release and hundreds of buyers with very good systems (including me) can't play the game. I personally lost about 10 hours in total tweaking the game, changing settings, exiting the game, launching again and it's really frustrating. We can't get a refund also as we spent more than 2 hours trying to make the game playable.
I really hope Steam/Valve introduces more strict regulations about future pc releases including extra compensation to the Steam platform and the customers for releases like this year's Batman and NBA2k.

It has to be "Mostly Negative" or "Overwhelmingly Negative" actually, not "Mixed"
