The reviewer made it clear that in its previous state he could not recommend the game and rightly so held off on giving a score until the patch, which was required also on the PS4 and Xbox one was released. I believe he did this as having invested time in the game he could see it's real potential and that once patched it would fulfil that potential. It would therefore be unfair to slate it without the chance to judge after the patch and it's clear there are no underhand issues at play. I would say he may have expected the patch to arrive sooner.
I bought the game regardless and the only issue I had was the occasional cut scene audio sync glitch. The basketball itself was sublime and problem free and the game looks and played brilliant on the Switch.
Regarding the microtransactions, the whole idea behind my career is to take a rookie, improve him and finally start a game. This was my first NBA game (I even had to google the rules of basketball much to my shame ) I've found the rate of progression enjoyable and it's helped me learn the game and become more skilled than if I was handed the abilities on a plate, I feel I've earned them.
Anyway great review, fair score. But then take my comments with a pinch of salt as what would I know, as I only bought and played the game and therfore cannot possibly know as much as some of the commentators here who haven't........
As a quick edit, I looked at my switch profile and NBA 2k18 is showing over 50hours played. Not bad for a "broken" game.
When my son was about 3 we bought a puppy. He took one look at it and said "I don't like it and I'm not going to look after it", I can understand that, he was young, it was a new arrival, and he spoke on impulse.
How-ever now the dog is his best friend, they built up a relationship through time and understanding. And now if I tell him what he originally said he is almost embaressed. He judged by a glance, without giving the dog a chance. Perhaps you can take something from this?
Taken in isolation your comments re the controller could carry some weight, but looking at the big picture and taking all of your comments into consideration you are shown up as the troll you are and your response is also typical. You troll get a reaction and plead innocense. Your post history is all the evidence needed to back this comment up.
@BlueOcean, that's a very fair point. How-ever outright abuse seems to occur in isolated cases. Where as Sligeach is almost relentless in his clamour for attention. I find it weird and it really detracts from the good debates that go on in the comments section.
@Fazermint, I get what you're saying and second the comment re moderation. Clearly though if numerous people are being driven to react to one persons constant drivel then that individual should be dealt with by the site admins.
I suggest if an admin is reading this that they have a brief skim through Sligeach's comments and it becomes apparant his motivations are to troll and agitate on an unprecedented scale.
I expect there is some underlying physcological issue at play.
@Fazermint, I don't post really, but I do read the site eveyday and for my sins the comments section also. Surely I can't be the only one sick of the comments being dragged down by pointless and deliberatel trolling comments by Sligeach :{
@Sligeach_Eire, you are such a tiresome bore, 90% trolling comments, 10% equally dull and worthless comments. You really need to get a life as you constant attention seeking distracts greatly from any genuine debate on the forum. Come back when you've something worthwhile to say.
