... 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.

I still have that one for 360! I was never very good, but it's always a ton of fun to play

In my uneducated opinion, it feels like the gaming industry advanced past "quarter-eating" mechanics and have reverse engineered their way back there. The rubber-banding doesn't feel fun/competitive anymore. Even playing solo just feels like it's just trying to give you a taste of success in an attempt to get you to spend real money. Those of us who won't ever "pay-to-win" just see an arbitrarily difficult or awkward game. For example, one of the later ones feels like it changes the player speed drastically based on who IT wants to do better now
