I only buy 2k to play MyCareer mode and I cannot believe that the story trappings they put around it get cornier every year. I've been playing since I got off work, almost 4 hours ago, and I've only gotten through two regular season matches so far. I wasn't going to mention it until seeing the thread tagline, but I kept getting pop-ups in the corner about a VC sale currently ongoing in the middle of my matches, which is just...what the fuck?
2k14 had it right: just let me play a rookie showcase game and get drafted according to my skills, man. And stop calling me DJ. My nickname is Garbage Man. And why is my 6'10" power forward shorter than almost everyone in all the cutscenes?! It's killing the immersion. /s
Aside from those complaints, the game feels more or less identical to the previous two years, at least on PC. Which is fine.
Edit: Why is every comment in this thread about the Switch version? Am I in the wrong thread?!
