I wanted to give 2K another chance after two years and once again, I was disappointed. The gameplay and animations are the same as in the previous versions. Once again, there&#8217;s only the current-gen version available for PC, which I don&#8217;t understand. The main menu and the textures of the park still look very cheap as always. What annoys me the most is the abundance of cheaters in the park since day one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Purchase recommendation, definitely no!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/id\/khen83\/recommended\/2338770\/\">Another Steam reviewer wrote<\/a>: &#8220;This game is essentially the same as the previous title with no new features or any improvement at all, and 2K even dare to charge with full price with updated roster? Man, this is so bad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But across all versions, NBA 2K24 is under fire for its aggressive microtransactions, which some are saying are worse than ever. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/nba-2k24-review\">IGN\u2019s NBA 2K24 review<\/a> scored it 6\/10: \u201cNBA 2K24 scores big with gameplay, but its microtransaction tactics feel like a costly turnover,\u201d we said. According to IGN\u2019s review, the \u201cheinous\u201d microtransactions \u201cplague many of the most popular game modes\u201d. \u201cThese in-game purchases aren\u2019t just present and optional \u2013 they are essential to compete with other players online. It\u2019s especially frustrating because MyCareer, the focal point of many changes to this year\u2019s iteration, has so much potential. But if it truly aimed to emulate the beauty of pro basketball, it would reward skill and effort more than open-wallet shortcuts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The backlash on Steam is so vehement, NBA 2K24 is now second on <a href=\"https:\/\/steam250.com\/bottom100\">Steam250\u2019s Hall of Shame<\/a>, behind only Blizzard\u2019s Overwatch 2. Steam250 tracks the 100 worst Steam games of all-time according to user reviews. There, five days after it went on sale, NBA 2K24 has a score of just 1.07 based on an approval rating (percentage of positive Steam user review votes) of 11% from 3,391 votes.<\/p>\n<p>IGN has asked 2K for comment.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
