Has 2K Next Gen been abandoned?

This guy makes a lot of valid points...

No updates for a month...

Beluba has gone silent for 6 weeks...Ronnie 2K just ignores it...Da Czar has ignored anything to do with the AI being poor (his job)...

Even the Christmas stuff has not changed...Christmas was over 3 weeks ago...

Hopefully stuff starts happening again. It is ridiculously easy to tweet that an update is in the works...

It is hard not look at 2K nowadays and think of them like EA.

Take your $$$ and leave...

I use to say this about madden devs that goes super silent for a month or two and that is go silent on 2k with your wallet when it's time for release day show them how it feels

Does he?

At the 6 minute mark he also says there was a roster update for next-gen and not for current-gen (which is false). Opining and spitting facts aren't exactly the same thing.

Every 2K dev that's on Twitter: it's their personal account and their engagement is their choice. Lots of people on the internet don't know how to handle this and think they are entitled to engagement.

You know.... like people on the internet who feel the need to NAME DROP on forums like this is a playground, rather than just refer to the company.

Re twitter...your point would be valid, were it not for the fact they all engage / tweet / promote ‘pre release’ .

No, not every EA product. But, yes, I have bought every 2K game for 20 years.

Which again - is their CHOICE. They do it for the love of what they work on. They aren't paid to promote.

If you want to call out the company - that's fine. Going out of your way to call out specific people without knowing the full story is ****ty and screams ignorance.

When you're waiting for public transportation and it's late, are you the self-important dude who takes it out on the bus driver?

Posts like this are precisely WHY they don't interact when they're navigating rocky waters. The amount of sensitive-***-Karens out there who think every misstep is a personal slight against them is vast in number. It's an act of futility and detracts from getting the work done.

Yeah and you probably suck at yours. Your cheeks just clenched from ONE person saying that, much less 1,000.

Too many 2K apologists on here ngl. Good luck with this post because the fan boys will come out defending this abomination of a game.

Now on the point. This game is completely broken. It’s the most unbalanced, unrealistic, arcadey it has ever been. It is genuinely a terrible game. And this is their next gen release?

They’ve clearly abandoned the game this year. And to the people comparing this broken game to EA? EA has its faults, but there is no way they would/have ever let a game release and play out like it does months after release. 2K are a complete joke that has released a complete joke a game this year. Let’s see what 2K22 has in store I guess...

You may want re read my post...I did not call people out.

I simply stated facts:
Beluba posted ton pre release / has not posted for ages post release.

Ronnie 2K won’t update on any patch news.

Da Czar explained how the AI will work a lot pre release...but has not commented on all the D AI holes.

Those are all simply facts. People can judge for themselves my friend as to what they think of those facts.

As a consumer, all I want to know is whether a patch is coming. I have spent ages on edits for the D, but if a patch is coming I will stop and wait.

Pre release there was tons of communication... post release way less.

Screaming personal stuff ‘you prob suck at your job’ just suggests to me you are a a kid, so I will let that ride. But most people ‘are’ accountable for mistakes / bugs / problems with their work.

For some reason, around here, you can’t voice your opinion, but your speaking 100% facts, 2k is down big, kinda have been since 2k18, 2k17 was the last good decent 2k with a bunch of updates and awareness overall
