Quite Possibly THE worst 2k Yet.
Reasoning Behind this:
Useless players get takeover and automatically start sparking from 3.
You have a green window no matter what so 69%+ contests still can go in if you time it right.
On the 1v1 Court you either get the same left right spammer who watches YT videos on how to make a build and dribble moves rather than just be different or you get 7ft centers that just back you down and spam speed boosts.
Shooting:
The shooting is trash.
Even wide open, You don't get much bigger of a green window even with the fact that you get the 20% or so boost from shooting with No meter, You tend to just miss if you can't perfectly time your jump shot. The lightest error in your timing and you're guaranteed to miss.
The seasons:
Now everyone isn't earning the same rewards from playing as they were in 2k23, You have to Pay To Win this year and if you don't you'll receive some bland rewards. With that being said people are spending money to just advance and not have to grind to get better.
Game is just all around garbage and i'd just wait and save your money for it to become cheaper because its essentially just a copy and paste of the last years game.
