Review on Nba 2K18 Standard PlayStation 4 by Cristina Franklin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great gameplay can't save him from himself.

Good game. She is fun to play. Not very good as the current build has a decent array of bugs and glitches. Online gaming is far from great, and I recently found that latency issues can be fixed by purchasing a PS4 Pro. Now I already have it, so it doesn't concern me, but it will be difficult to get it. my buddies [read "anybody"] to shell out $400 to play the game properly. 2K really needs to control its servers. It feels like this lag and drop in framerate has been constant since 2K15. There are other glitches in the current game, such as character archetypes using animations they don't have. It's bad, but for me it hasn't killed online yet. What killed me on the internet was microtransactions, and heck, they're rife. There's nothing wrong with paying to make a game better for yourself, but this game really doesn't give most people a choice. VC grind is absolute crap and you can play myCareer [which by the way is crap in every way. Don't you miss these clips from a shrinking city? Word?] as best you can, get the highest rating available and get little or no venture capital. It's a "freemium" practice that's turned into an art form when you pay to progress, as the game is too hard to launch properly and 2K makes it a priority to hit you up with a VC purchase disappoint. Well, 2K has always made it a habit to sell venture capital to its clients, but it's taken it to a whole different level here. Without VC, the game is just too limited. This is a completely anti-consumer business model and should be hated rather than praised, especially when you're paying for the game itself. Mobile games do this to no end, but what's even worse is that it's from a triple-A developer. Strange. The problem is, I don't think 2K is going to change their plan any time soon. It will most likely only get worse.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Older model
