... a backlash from PC players has resulted in an influx of negative reviews. Now, according to Steam 250, it ranks just behind Overwatch 2 in the list of worst reviewed games on Steam.

Much of that backlash is due to this PC version being based on the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, instead of PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

...

For instance, the game's website celebrates features like ProPLAY that "directly translates NBA footage into NBA 2K24 gameplay", as well as personalised career mode The W. These are only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

As much as I really don't care for the games as a service model, I think it could actually work well for a lot of sports games. Maybe releasing a new game yearly like this just makes more money, but relatively minimal year to year changes would seem to fit well with the microtransactions

Just Dance on Switch moved to this with 2023 edition. I honestly love having access to all the versions I bought as DLC rather than launching different versions depending on what songs I want
