    As a 2k fan, I am boycotting this year

    Nobody will care, but I just want to say this because 2k devs come on Operation Sports sometimes.

    So, at the risk of getting banned:
    I am a huge fan of 2k. Played since 2k10 and absolutely loved MyPlayer.
    I couldn't care less about Park or Pro-Am.

    Last few 2k titles unfortunately have gone towards catering to the online crowd. In an effort to balance online competitions, I think 2k's been neglecting the fun factor that should be inherent in video games. Lengthening the grind. So many microtransactions. SO MANY MICROTRANSACTIONS. For things that used to be free, like hairstyles.

    Won't buy 2k18 this year. Gonna try out the Live demo to see if it's worth buying. And if Live 18 sucks, I still got 2k13 on PC and NBA Street Vol 2. Man, Street is such a blast...that's a sports game that focuses on just having fun.

    Again, I'm a huge fan of 2k. I absolutely love creating a player and living out the virtual hoops dream that the real life me has absolutely no chance to otherwise LOL.

    So as a fan of 2k, I'm gonna take a stand and not buy the game this year. Might even potentially buy Live 18 if it's fun. Not to take a dump on you guys, but just to show that not everybody appreciates your new policy of micro micro-transactions and setting limitations on the consumer.

    Will one person like me not buying this year's product influence 2k? Heck no. You won't care.
    But when I tried this year's Prelude and it locks me out of every hairstyle except the worst 5 so I have to drop 1000vc to look decent, I'll pass.

    Hope to see you guys next year!
    Wish the rest of the OS community getting the game an awesome 2k18 experience!

      Can you even play my career offline this year?

        You're not alone. I too don't believe anyone cares about your boycott.

          Wrong year to sit it out. May be the best 2K yet gameplay wise.

              I'm boycotting till Black Friday when the price drops to $39.99

              Cant lie, the gameplay feels amazing...But the fact that the CAP system is so terrible, the classic teams are still half assed, and the MyCareer story seems as corny as ever, this doesn't warrant a full $60 purchase IMO

                I'm leaning towards just using updated rosters and playing 2k17. I never play online so those features never appeal to me. Doesn't seem like enough of anything else has changed for me to warrant spending $60 this year

                  I do realize the road to 99 is rough even for the offline vs CPU guys because that progress bar is going to start moving very very slow once you reach a significant overall. The badge progress will also be hard to obtain once you start going after Gold and HOF badges.

                        That's rough, I hope and pray that you and your fam stay safe.

                        As for your post, you took me slightly out of context. I'm just tired that microtransactions increasingly pervade every aspect of the game and this year decided not to sit and take it in the rear.

                        Hope you stay safe

                          It's not specifically the hair. It's the principle behind constantly adding new things behind a paywall.

                          I mean he said this:
                          "Last few 2k titles unfortunately have gone towards catering to the online crowd.

                          It's not just hair but some people are going to look at it that way.

                          I wish you safety and luck dealing with the hurricane.

                              If you have a hurricane coming your way then maybe you should get your *** out of wherever you are and stop worrying about what people are posting on a video game forum lol
