Re: Why Isn't Sweatgate Here?

It isn't any more deceptive than most marketing techniques. It's just the nature of the beast with multi-million selling franchises. They're going to show the players in the best possible light. They're still using shots from in-game so it's not like they're bullshots. Why would they want to make them look worse intentionally? Also, as someone said before I don't recall 2K themselves ever publishing their own comparison shots. That's usually done by gaming media or the community.

Players do not sweat on 12 minute quarters like they do on default settings for quarter minutes.

Re: Why Isn't Sweatgate Here?

I'm inclined to agree with the below comment. Isn't this just basic advertising? You're always going to show off what you think is the best that can be achieved in game. Deceptive advertising to me is more like FIFA advertising an improved algorithm to pick the starting 11 then having a faulty algorithm that is actually light years worse than the previous year. From what I understand 2K is selling what you're getting.

They do....only around the second half of the game.

Not sure why not, since it can be modded to be fixed somewhat on PC.

I've been playing 12 minute quarters for some time now and it was bugging me a bit, but I wasn't sure if I'm not being paranoid (I guess I was too lazy to go back to 6 minute quarters to confirm my suspicions ). It's not as bad as 2K16, where at launch players didn't sweat almost at all in 12 minute games, but still it'd be nice if they could fix this.

Ur suspicious are correct, I went back to 6 minutes and they drenched in sweat then back to 12 minutes and it’s light.
