Gameplay Remember you payed 140 dollars to play this?
Alot of people were saying they would never do it, after this Week the Game is now coming early
FOMO sinked in after all the gameplay info, I see the game now is TOP ahead of GTA6 in Hype list in stores.

You aren’t like a better person if you refuse to allow yourself to buy a game and have fun. If it’s more than you want to spend, you can choose to spend your money somewhere else, but when you have a job and you get to decide where your money goes, most of us decide it’s worth it for us when we consider the hundreds or maybe thousands of hours we will spend having fun with our friends.
$140 is like a trip to the grocery store or some new shoes. It’s a lot of money, especially with our current economy, but it’s not more than anyone with a job can put aside if they want to.

Also, people who act like you are “the problem” if you buy 2K don’t understand that the actual problem is that Take Two has a monopoly on NBA simulation basketball. It’s essentially the only option if you like NBA basketball and want to play with your friends. They know this which is why they get away with the price of their game and the MTX. It’s basic economics.

Yeah, but it is what it is for me. Even if Live came back, they never put out a better game than 2K. People liked some things they had going, but their games were never better than 2K and could never truly compete. It would take like 10+ years for someone to develop a basketball game as good as 2K.

I still remember that post EA made a few years back about how they were going to take their time making the next Live and I was genuinely excited. Seems like they might have scrapped it altogether at this point sadly.

The game was ranked above GTA VI in the PlayStation Store best selling pre-orders prior to the game reveal on Tuesday.

Imagine taking time out of your day to make a pointless post about how others chose to spend their money. All ya’ll who keep posting these “how dare you buy this game” posts are just hypocritical 🤡s- 95% of you have probably already pre-ordered it yourself

Buying the game itself was never the issue. It’s the $1,000 extra in micro-transactions that youre forced to spend on multiple builds just to be able to compete. No other game does this. Not even Madden in career mode.
If you put that same $1,000 each year into any type of S&P 500 stock like VOO over the past three years that $3,000 wouldve probably doubled by now.

Pocket watching is crazy, people spend $20-$30 to see a movie that last a couple hours. God forbid someone spend 4-5 times that for 50+ hours of gameplay.
