This game is wonderful in so many ways. The attention to detail is fantastic. It really feels like you're playing a character in a televised NBA game. The immersion level is incredible. You can tell a large amount of blood, sweat, and love went into developing this game.
That makes it all the more frustrating that 2kSports policy for patching bugs is poor. Sure, there was a patch... 6 months ago. However, so many more bugs remain.
I understand that in a piece of software this complicated, there will be bugs. What surprises me is 2kSports refusal to fix known, long-standing bugs that are game-breakers. Here are two examples: 1) in MyCAREER mode if you GM Sitdown for the contract extension option and accept an extension, it corrupts your game. You cannot play it anymore. If you did not back up your saved game, you are out of luck. 2) If your player has the signiture skill BRUISER and you buy level 3, opposing players will become exhausted almost immediately. This breaks the game. The computer cannot compete.
2kSports has known about these for months and still has not fixed them.
One cannot help but believe that future 2KSports products will follow a policy of leaving game-breaking issues unresolved. Because of this, I'm going to save my money for games published by companies willing to support their software.
