As OG 2K players when we say we miss the old game we get told “your stuck in the past & reminiscing because of the nostalgia” but in reality.. The franchise has been on a downward spiral look at the old mechanics, features & game - Parks, takeover system, gameplay & just the overall grind of the game.
It’s not just about the “arcady” gameplay its features such as the old builder, the old takeover system (grinding it in my career) + the storylines and grind of the old game. You’d use to play My Career for all badges & while you do that you unlock clothing & my courts, etc. that you could customize. It’s not just the nostalgia it’s time we lay that to rest, the old games overall were just more fun and advanced within certain areas. These new 2Ks are repetitive and lack the motive of what a game needs which is the most important of it all. The GRIND! there’s no reasonable incentive to play. Back in there day you were rewarded now it’s nothing.
