Much has been said about the 2K MT NBA 2K22's bizarre advertising and the obnoxious, continuous pressure on players to spend more money, particularly within MyCareer. In no uncertain way, disrespectful to the gamers who have played for years, ane constantly scrolling through an unauthentic Twitter feed (whose authenticity, again and above all other shows' attempts) and they'll see people pleading their case in a dispute just as they'll see get-off-my-lawn grandpas like Perkins and Perkins scolding them for not doing anything but being happy. You're assigned a personal manager as well as a choice of two companies to represent you. And all of them made my "Social Samurai" stunt as I agitated for more playing time sound like just-business sense.
2K Sports gets away with the microtransaction hustling and the game-based advertising of MyCareer barelydue to its an intense role-playing experience and features lifestyle elements. The game's developer has put its fingers into players' cookie jars every the year from 2014 onwards, but the players haven't stopped coming back.
I doubt they would if the single-player career hit story were as safe and as boring in the same way as Madden NFL 22's Face of the Franchise. It is clear that I would not tolerate being expected to conduct my life with respect and humour throughout the commercial, transactional environment of MyCareer's central city.
It was cathartic, before that Cheap NBA 2K22 MT pivotal encounter with the Nets to vent my frustrations on interviewer Candace Green and see my supporters grow and my personal "brand" grow in virtually every measure. In other video games of sports the me-first-vituperation will usually get you some passive-aggressive suggestion that players don't have to behave like that.
