The only reason I play it is because I love basketball + competition. Can someone name another game that has as many mind-wrenching aggravating things.
Here's why:
RANDOMS

Unless you got a friends list of ppl who are super active, running with Randoms is inevitable at some point. Clueless players, buddy ballers, etc etc. I am confident that there is no other community on earth dumber than 2K Randoms. Yes, you can avoid them if you don't mind....
...WAITING
Whether it's getting a team together and one of them can't connect, or Got Next musical chairs, backing out of JRC to maybe find some players who have better than 25% win %, etc.
VC
No surprise here. Self explanatory, well documented complaints by the 2K community. The exploitation of the customer is on overdrive.
GRINDING
After 3 yrs of this, this shtick has gotten oooold. Any player should be able to hop in and compete, instead they're stuck "grinding" 1000 hrs, completely unreasonable. Awesome.
DEVS WHO LIE
"zig zag is gone", "there's more of a skill gap this year", "cheesers beware", etc. Yeah right...
BUILD GAP NOT SKILL GAP
Gameplay is decent aside from the OP sharps/stretch's who haven't been nerfed properly in 3 yrs. 2K is less and less about skill, and more about making the "OP Build". Sure IQ matters some, but any bum can score 40 with a pure sharp w/badges without having any shot iq.
SERVERS
Game lags on wireless. Errors, etc.
