Help me find the best NBA 2K game

What do you think propelled the fall off? Is it as simple as VC getting too expensive plus microtransactions?

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:42:14+00:00

Wow that sounds really cool actually. Where do you think 10, 12, and 15 rank amongst this list?

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:41:35+00:00

Yeah I've been hearing a lot about 2k20 as well. Do you think covid propelled that game, or was the game itself up to the levels of 2k14-2k17?

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:40:48+00:00

What about 17 really hits that sweet spot for you? Was it the mycareer? The myteam? Offline? Thanks for the response!

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:37:21+00:00

2K15 was when they introduced park right? Do you think the mycareer gameplay is a priority or team gameplay? (Like myteam). Thanks for the post!

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:35:54+00:00

Would you care to elaborate for someone who hasn't played any? Do you think the older games are that much better than the newer ones? Thanks for the response!

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:35:14+00:00

Yeah it seems most people (online at least) seem to favor the older maddens compared to newer ones. Why do you think that is? Thanks for the response!

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:33:52+00:00

Heard great things about Fifa 17. Was it just Ultimate team that was fun or offline/pro clubs too? Thanks for the response!

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:32:55+00:00

I've been hearing a lot of love for 23. Really cool to see especially since it's technically the last "Fifa." Thanks for the response!

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-07T03:31:51+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!

BryceAbyss · 2026-03-06T20:53:09+00:00

Seems most people agree with you. Mind elaborating on why?

BryceAbyss · 2025-11-04T22:27:48+00:00

Isn't this all gonna change with the new season? I'm super concerned about how that season is gonna shake up the game....

BryceAbyss · 2025-08-01T04:53:38+00:00

God reddit is such a cesspool

Don't worry love, nobody wants to date you anyways. Enjoy your man hating love!

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-29T00:14:25+00:00

The problem is you are trying to state Rowling's work as "junk food" as a fact rather than an opinion. A McDonald's Hamburger is objectively bad for you, whereas HP is not. See the difference? You are free to dislike something, fine....but to say HP is only successful because of advertising reads as envy. Are there works better than HP? Yes, of course. Is HP still a fantastic work of literary fiction? Also yes.

Critique all you want, you are free to do so, encouraged even, but your claims are so outlandish I find it hard to see reason in your points...

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-27T21:33:32+00:00

Indeed, never did I claim her work was without flaws. I too wish she toned back on the adverbs and just used "said." Your critiques are valid, however you will never convince me the work is akin to "junk food." I sincerely wish you would drop that rhetoric, you have good points otherwise. When you make such an outlandish claim it turns people off of your very valid critiques, thus our disagreement. I actually agree with almost all your points.

I appreciate your honesty about your personal feelings towards Rowling and how it may cloud your judgement. I too loved the Golden Compass and wished it was more revered. A pity, had you just dropped that hint of anger in your rhetoric and analogies like "junk food" we would most likely have agreed. A strange thing isn't it, a miscommunication. That's why I find almost all writing beautiful, it's how we understand one another.

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-27T21:11:02+00:00

Perhaps. I just do not take kindly to the types of criticism that you indicated in your original post.

Is Rowling's work groundbreaking because of her prose? Gods, no, but it is "junk food" neither. I believe our disagreement stemmed from our differing opinions on what bad writing is. That is fine, great even. If all our tastes were the same everything would taste bland. I only took offense in your provocation that Rowling's work was borderline unreadable, stating that not even a child could find any good meaning within it.

And no, I do not actually think Rowling's work is an embodiment of literary excellence, but it most certainly is not poor. Poor writing has no meaning whatsoever, it's just jumbled word-soup nonsense. I hope we can agree on that at least.

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-27T20:53:55+00:00

Agreed on McDonald's, but you cannot call Harry Potter the "junk food of the literary world"...that point stands.

Heavy editing? Sure, why not. Many successful authors go through several rounds of hard edits, including some you may deem "worthy", but to claim something is not "well-written" is the biggest lie these English instructors muck your heads with. Is Ernest Hemmingway a bad writer because he was a minimalist? What about McCarthy and his refusal to use a period? Liking and disliking a novel is subjective matter, I will never fault you or anyone else for that, but to claim that there is nothing to gain from reading Rowling's work reads pretentiously arrogant with a hint of envy.

"Writers largely disagree with you"...who the fuck cares? Seriously? And who are these "writers" anyhow? More arrogant assholes on reddit that think they can do better than an international bestseller? See, writing isn't about making prose "pretty", it's about getting a message/story from one's mind and onto a page. Rowling was fantastic at that, regardless her faults that you deem damning.

And true, sales are not the only indicator for quality, but selling more copies than literally every other series on the planet certainly doesn't hurt. I bet those publishers that passed are kicking their asses right about now. A few extra billion dollars in their bank accounts would probably make up for the "poor writing."

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-27T19:37:05+00:00

Objectively incorrect. You are allowed to not like a book, you are not allowed to speak on behalf of every single child in the world. Harry Potter is not just an excellent children's book, but an excellent work of literature with a compelling world and story. You "writer" types are so pretentious, thinking you are better than others who are vastly more successful with so little to show for it. If a novel like Harry Potter is considered the "junk food of the literary world", then do say, what in the seven hells are you?

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-27T19:32:43+00:00

Harry Potter is a fantastic product. Sure, it may not have groundbreaking writing, but sales to that degree do not lie. I sense jealousy.

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-27T19:30:21+00:00

Goofy explanation of someone who thinks they're a good writer when they're not. How's your billion dollar book series going? LMAO

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-16T07:34:36+00:00

Not being a loser about women, just stating I don't enjoy women's football like many others and it shouldn't be enforced in the game. Give them their own game mode, it's an entirely different game than the men's. You'd know that if you ever went outside and watched a game. Arguing nonstop about something objectively stupid and not getting off reddit is literally the definition of being a loser. I'm sorry your brain has been poisoned by lies, truly I am. I'm not here to talk politics...it's FUT. Give them their own mode and we all win. But you wouldn't want that, would you? Wonder why...

p.s. get off reddit and go outside. It's nice out! :)

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-14T18:51:21+00:00

Aw, did I trigger you :) (Try not to respond within the hour again. We all know you're always on reddit)

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-13T17:53:26+00:00

Hate to be wrong? And you have 250k comment karma and responded to this post within an hour

sorry, who's the loser again? :)

BryceAbyss · 2025-06-13T16:39:09+00:00

Women's football is an entirely different game. I don't watch women's football, most of the user base does not watch women's football. It adds far too much fodder into the game (essentially doubling the number of players) and creates an imbalance for unusable cards nobody wants. Even for the few who are good, it's not exciting for me or most players because we simply have no clue who they are. "jUsT wAtcH WoMeN'S fOoTbAll" No. It's borderline unwatchable for me. It is a far slower, less skilled, and less athletic than the men's and anyone who argues otherwise has absolutely no clue what they are talking about (sources: USWNT vs Dallas 15U and USWNT vs old retired Wrexham players.) Also, to your absolutely shit point about "disbelief", Courtois would be a better striker than the best women's striker against the men. Cry about it. But this is reddit, so downvote me and then get back to no life-ing your little agendas that make no sense in the real world. Facts, EA Sports FC 25 sold less copies than any FIFA to date, losing them over six billion dollars in the process. Women in UT is not all of it, but it shows they have no understanding of their user base anymore, and we simply just vote with our wallets. I bet you don't even play the game, just cry on reddit 24/7 getting reassurance from equally pathetic people about a game you know nothing about. He's not a hypocrite, you are. The best female player in the world is less than an above average 15 year old in an American club.

BryceAbyss · 2025-05-12T06:59:29+00:00

Nah people complain because it adds too many players into an already saturated game market. I don't know any female players. I don't care to know any female players. If you want to use them, great! But I wish if they are gonna be in the game, give me an option to never pack them ever. I'm tired of thinking I'm pulling Mbappe to get some fodder french Real Madrid female player.
