I've never seen so much negativity in a single game before, only Battlefront 2 has probably received more backlash...

That's just units sold. A basketball game is right behind COD. I think 2K, like the industry itself, is adjusting to consumer sentiment on micros. And thats a good thing. Balance is the key. Money is great, but there is a line. At this point they don't have to do anything and they'd still print money. 2K18 was at like 2 stars at one point on Amazon. It clearly didn't hurt them. At its core though 2K is a good game and I think that comes through more than anything else. It has the fluff but the substance is there as well.

If they really are done with the game there's someone else picking it up. Regardless, its not as bad and dour as some like to make it seem.

The rankings are kind of subjective being that they dont included digital sales which I would assume would account for a large precentage of video game sales.

Personally, I dont have any problems with micros, BUT theres a certain place for them. The shops, the haircuts, all those being micros im fine with, to an extent. The fact they made the grind so much longer to the point buying money for it is almost necessary? That is what crosses the line. As soon as a developer makes a core element of gameplay involved with micros and pay-to-win situations, they've gone too far. Even with the 2K League, its still there. Its much easier to win 50 Pro-Am games with a team of 90s than it is with a team of 70s.
