For casual play yes, but forget mycareer , it's almost impossible to progress without paying (unless you plan to put 200 hours in it). Aside from that, mynba (association) is fun, the match gameplay is fun.


GoldOk6865

I’m a strict mycareer only player playing on HOF, I got 192 hrs in the game and I’m a 91 lmfao


ehhuhwhut

Still at 90 after +100 hrs grind from 60 No VC too


GoldOk6865

It’s fucked you should be able to get at least to 90 after 50 hours


Additional-Match-422

No it’s not. On 2k22 current gen I got two players to 99 and it was pretty easy to get their overalls up…. This year is buns


All2017

22 was easier because you could score at will and didn’t need to create multiple players to get the right one


CountThick5777

You can it depends on how you level you can level faster putting certain attributes certain places v/s putting them to help your play style


keeganedwards15

I’m literally averaging 60pts, 20 assists and 15 rebounds on superstar after about 140 hours on the game, can only afford to be a 90 overall


Gizzkhalifa

Honestly at this rate you could put in this much time playing basketball and probably end up in nba or at least as good as your my career guy 😂


Capable_Wrongdoer_74

I could out perform my my player if I put half the time in 😂


Gizzkhalifa

So why the fuck does a game need more input then real life I don’t think the people want real life simulation in the aspect of the player growing skills


These-Afternoon-5713

Smells like depression, you nailed it, video games is waste of time unless you are not making money off of it. Its all about money


Gizzkhalifa

It’s just fucking wild how much time they expect us to sink into a game I miss old school games


Mendo420

Is that without buying any VC?


Dilemma_Nay

Damn I really am not that far off


niddy2faces

No lies detected! I decided I was done with 2k, and would not buy it this year. Saw it on a sale on steam. I bought it for $20 and then put $20 into VC for my career stats and didn’t even get out of the 70s for overall… deleted the game and haven’t played since.


AcanthaceaeSmart6279

Shame that you gave them 40$.


niddy2faces

Oh believe me, I’m pissed I did it too! Never again though. Hopefully NCAA 25 will be good and I can get into that


boxjellyfishing

More than anything, buying the VC was the bigger issue. He loudly told 2K that they these type of manipulative practices are okay. Enough people do it, and nothing ever improves.


AcanthaceaeSmart6279

Yeah, I haven't bought 2k24, and I am not planning on buying another 2k until they make a good game.


ZeroBedtimes

I was not going to touch 2k this year either as I was still enjoying 23 but the black mamba edition went on sale for like $25 for xbox so I grabbed it. MyTeam is a joke and the game is not good but I don't really regret grabbing it for that cheap. I play MyTeam and don't really spend money and I dabble in MyCareer with like an 84 overall.


publiusgrande

This is the answer. Do not buy it for my online modes!


Gabbeyonce

if youre playing casually, mycareer on the easiest difficulty is still fun even as a 60 overall. Bought the game for $7 on steam. About to finish my first season and will probably get mvp as a 69 overall playing on semi-pro. Still hella fun since im not actually taking it seriously and just chucking up shots


zunashi

Yessss this


GeneralNeuro

I did it with no money spent. 5 minute quarters. If you’re up 25 by the third you sim. Like you said, it takes hours


Altruistic_Rock_2674

What's wrong with putting 200 hours into it. I enjoy Disgaea games, 200 hours is nothing...


Dilemma_Nay

I love disgaea too, and i'd rather put 200 more hours in Disgaea 3 than 200hours just to raise my player in 2k. If some want to, good for them, but most people don't want to.


Altruistic_Rock_2674

Yeah I agree, I would rather put time in Disgaea, the only reason I even put a good amount of time into the game this year is I got for the switch and can play it handheld. But as with Madden NBA 2k seems to be going down


RcusGaming

I always assume people who say this play on Pro difficulty lol. If you're on HOF or Superstar you can get VC decently quickly.


Dilemma_Nay

Don't know about PS5/Xbox Series but on pc: When I tried my career i was playing on HOF on 6 minutes quarter, usually getting around 1000 vc per game. You need around 250k VC to get a player to 85, that means 250 games of around 30min, that's 125 hours of nba games only. We didn't even count for times upgrading your stats and badges in the menu or anything else you might want to do in the game and yet the player is only 85, all that time just to be on the level of DeAndre Ayton? God forbid you end up not liking your build and want to make another one, you'd lose all that "progress" If that's what it takes I prefer to drop Mycareer and use that time to play something else, be it on 2k or something totally different.


No-Yesterday1869

You literally don’t have you pay. Y’all pay because you’re scared of being called trash. Just learn to play to game and you’ll be alright


cooperthomas1022

If by “casual” you mean offline gameplay, then yeah, go for it. Gonna get smoked online though unfortunately


memedealer_josh

In what way? Pc has the same competitiveness online as console aside from the occasional obvious cheater who makes every single shot, it’s perfectly attainable to be good at playing online on the steam version. I shoot like 60/50/80 and win over half my games, if you’re talking my team I have like a 200% win percentage and dominate most of the time. If they’re like generally competent at the game and know how to green online (that’s the most important part it’s a slightly later release and more focused around the queue than timing) then there’s no reason to discourage someone from playing the steam version online.


SnooDoggos3909

cheaters online


memedealer_josh

Sometimes but imo not enough to make it not worth playing


BedBubbly317

How could you possibly have a 200 win%?? It’s quite literally not possible. Talking out your ass.


memedealer_josh

Sorry, 67 lol. Win twice as many as a lose. In salary cap more like 90. It’s not that hard, just most people who complain on Reddit aren’t actually good at the game


vinny121vinnyy

How you win 200% of the time in myteam


ConceptAnamoly

He really like that


HandsomeJack19

Until they give us PC users the next gen version of the game (2K24 is still the last gen version) I will never buy 2K on PC, no matter the price. I did get it for my PS5, but I only play MyCareer and I disliked it so much this year that I only played for a week before bailing.


BedBubbly317

Then all the PC players need to stop cheating. The entire reason Next Gen isn’t on PC is because it’s cross platform now and PC players religiously cheat.


HandsomeJack19

Then it's on them to up their security or drop cross-play for PC users. I'm strictly a single-player player, I don't play nor do I care about any of the online modes. Though I'm aware that I'm in the minority by playing that way.


BedBubbly317

Actually, the only thing on them is to do whatever they want, it’s their game not ours. We just play it. They make the absolute smallest of profits off PC compared to any other platform, it is the farthest thing from their top priority. PC is basically the red headed step child they try to appease, but whose opinion is actually irrelevant.


BackupQuestions7

Obviously it is 2k’s game, but the person you replied to can state their opinion. I understand you want to stick up for 2k, but if the problem was cheating they could: 1. ⁠Disable cross platform for PC players 2. ⁠Implement an anti-cheat system. The real problem is it costs money for 2k to make PC next-gen and since there’s enough people buying last-gen they aren’t going to bother making it next-gen. Also PC players don’t religiously cheat. Some of us would love next-gen for the Eras game mode since PC already has offline mods which have improved the game far better than the actual devs. Hopefully this is deemed an acceptable comment now 😇


BedBubbly317

They’ve made Next Gen on PC in the past, the reason they didn’t this year isn’t due to it costing more money or they never would have in the past. It’s purely due to the new cross platform function, basically if PC players are gonna cheat then they’re gonna cheat each other only. And all you did was give another reason why they won’t spend the money to do it. All the mods on PC take away from the product they spent time and money to develop. If someone wants to make their own PC basketball sim game that’s great, but nobody likes someone modding the shit out of their own product and altering it to something that is often very different from the intended product.


BackupQuestions7

I don’t think you (as a PlayStation user) are knowledgeable enough to speak on this matter, but I’d genuinely like to try and have a respectful conversation. So I’ll ask: Why do you believe cross platform plays any role with 2k not making PC next-gen? I gave you two alternatives to your “cheating” problem, and you disregarded both of them. Instead of saying “Well 2k can do what they want” (which is obvious) can you acknowledge that PC could continue to have its own servers while being next-gen? It doesn’t need to be cross-platform for PC so why do you keep acting like cheating is the barrier. It is 100% a cost issue. It costs more money to upgrade a game from last-gen to new-gen then to copy and paste old-gen. It costs money to make it compatible with newer and older PC systems. Yes, they did it in 2014, but back then it didn’t cost $50 to make an 85 ovr and they didn’t have battle passes to squeeze money off of users. In other words, they are way more money-hungry now. Sure, they probably don’t want to be shown up by modders. Yet they continue to allow old-gen PC to be modded so clearly that’s not a concern. By the way, making more accurate/updated faces, adding historic players, and improving details (like actual TNT scoreboards for example) isn’t “altering the product to something very different than what 2k intended.”


Dr_Zika

They turned Mycareer into a predatory Transaction shitshow and the only thing you think is the problem is PC players cheating. You are obviously not on PC. They killed modding in General. I can't even apply 2kscrpits to make the game more realistic. Update the roster without buying a shitty copy and paste the next year. A mod to make the player actually look at the basket when they shoot.(2k was too rucking lazy to add that in a Basketball game)That's Cheating? Those Ass hats choose to kill off what's left of the PC community instead of making a better game with less Bugs and glitches. Fuck 2K, If they really gave a shit about us they'd make a way for you to have mycareer offline.


kimchiwi

It’s worth $10 every year. That’s how much we should pay for their yearly update.


Capable_Wrongdoer_74

With vc prices the game should be free


nastydoughnut

I play on PC. MyCareer has no story and online is full of hackers that are shaped like trees. I don't know anything about MyTeam but its also full of hackers. If you're just there to sim, like MyLeague, you can make it work Theres a lot of features missing. You have to really jank the game to get something similar to MyEras to work. You can never 'start from today', you can only start from the begining of the season. You have to download historical players from somebody else if you want people like Toni Kukoč. Overall though I make it work, and I have fun. Just understand what you're getting into


tylerray1491

If you haven’t played since 2k5 I think any NBA2k from the last 5 years will blow you away


Capable_Wrongdoer_74

Yeah, get 22 or 23 before 24 though


bigE819

If you’re going to play offline yes, look into some simple mods and you will have a ton of fun


Maleficent-Factor603

Got any mods you recommend? Haven’t played a 2k game since 19 and that was on console. Thinking bout doing same as op, get the game for some casual gaming. Mostly myleague offline whenever I’m bored of what’s currently in the play pile.


bigE819

I haven’t played PC since 2K20, but I recommend if you care about roster editing (which I doubt considering you haven’t played in a while) the Hook which lets you change team logos, names, player face scans, courts, everything you can imagine. Face scans are the easiest and obvious change you can make. There’s also a lot of conversion mods for historic seasons. Uniform mods too, grabbing older Nike jersey’s that aren’t in the game are something I cannot believe 2K has missed on (nearly every major uniform is in the game except if you want a city jersey from last year or any year)


Maleficent-Factor603

And is this on Nexus? Or some other site?


bigE819

I recommend NBA-Live.com aka the NLSC


phastest23

Is the offline PC gameplay better in 2k24 than 2k23? I have no interest in playing online, just full seasons offline. I already have 2k23 and looking for better gameplay.


memedealer_josh

Yes, defense feels so much better and I like the newer shooting/contest mechanics since they’re more dynamic and make it possible to hit some crazy shots off timing and positioning. Also if you’re talking mycareer or my league updated rosters are nice.


gogadantes9

TBH at this point even $10 it might not be worth it. On PC it's ridiculously huge size-wise (IIRC around 150 gigs) for something that's basically the same game as previous years' version. If you have an older NBA2K just download a 2024 roster file for your game.


ryanb6321

Why do people act like $10 is a lot of money? Yeah it’s worth it even with it being old gen and MyCareer having no story. If you want to play a basketball game, it’s worth it because it’s still cheaper than 2K23.


Damuhfudon

No, its not current gen.


Stunning_Variety_529

For $10 it's more than enough.


TheEuphoricTribble

As someone who picked 24 up on PS5 for the next gen experience...the fact PC is still previous gen should be a blessing, friend. This game's next gen experience is the worst I have ever experienced.


memedealer_josh

I’ve played both and they each have their strengths for sure, being able to get everywhere on pc without walking through the city for 20 minutes is very nice but basically everything about the actual gameplay on consoles is better and smoother feeling. Also dribbling is like an entirely different game on new gen compared to pc


Oxygenius_

Just to play franchise mode and get your GM on, sure. For my player, no. I have fun with making trades and building the Lakers, start in off-season, Hire Popovich, trade for 1st pick (Wembanyama) then see what I can do


VERFUNCHO

Noticed it was free on my Xbox cause of game or ea pass idk. I haven’t downloaded it. It’s 200 gigs lol


Dimebag120

I cloud play it only since its so big


O-M3GA1u1

No lol


No-Yesterday1869

Can’t beat that


Stanke24

Fuck no


Dazzling_Wait5900

Just buy a 30 dollar 99 full badge cheat and you’re good to play park


Gullible-Appeal-3566

No u have to spend $100 for a build after thar


Grouchy_Stable6289

No


BigBad4928

Imma 85 overall had to pay vc quite a bit 4 times. So yeah worth it but have money and be prepared to be equipped with money or yall might have to sweat grind it for 3 to 5 days straight or more


Djani_be_gud

for only 10 dollars hell yeah. it was like 139 bundle with nba league pass or could be more. i forgot


rxnrxv

I purchased on steam a month ago and the game is always crashing on startup, making it impossible to even get past the start/home screen. Anyone know of any fix? Thanks


CountThick5777

Hellmotherfuckingno


nrgdrink_

idk it's not even newgen


These-Afternoon-5713

Its a steal. I just got for 15 on ps5 and have been playing mycareer for like 2 days and Im ovr 67 now. Its a grind to progress and this is why I regret not spending 10 more bucks for black mamba edition.


Mysterious_Candy_466

No it’s not


christhebeanboy

Depends. All these people saying if you don’t play Online it’s fine. That’s not true in my experience. If you have friends that also play 2K on PC, then online is not bad. Yes there are occasional cheaters but it’s not nearly as bad as they say. You can still have fun. One thing that is wack is the grind. It absolutely sucks to get VC. Id recommend a start build of a guard or something as that will be the easiest to start off with. Once you get into the 70’s of overall. Id start the virtual quests and grind those for the 25K VC. This is all assuming you don’t buy VC or anything which I haven’t. However, don’t make the same mistake that I did of making a mid first build. I got it to like 76 to realize it wasn’t gonna work and started over. My second (now main) build isn’t anything crazy either but it’s good enough to where I can drop 15+ points in rec and such. So make sure to watch a build video just to understand what attributes mayter and which don’t. So yeah i’d go for it but don’t expect anything crazy and the experience will be much better with friends


cyb3roffensive

I’m also looking into it. They have it on G2A for that much too. Idk if that’s the same place you see it (like 9$ something) just saw a YouTube vid and the dude totally EXPOSED the fuck out of 2k! Compared the graphics with lebron and clay and they have them super violated! Clay looking like Patrick star and cheesehead string cheese neck up and lebrons whole face SWOLLEN and bright af like LOL


Stunning_Variety_529

For $10 it's not a bad deal. Fun gameplay.


cyb3roffensive

You know if there’s any glitches cause I think it was recently that people were saying there was some type of glitch to where you can’t pass the ball randomly?


Stunning_Variety_529

On PC, never played a lick on MyCareer or online so couldn't say for those but the other modes have been fine for me.


cyb3roffensive

It’s all negative reviews and just saw a twitch stream and the person was riding the one wheel scooter thing and went through a small flock of birds and they flew away when they were already in the middle of the flock so yea 2k is clearly doing this stuff on purpose for some reason idk. I’m gonna try and get 2k16 to start out on. Hoping online comes back🤞


ReaperofAsh

I got it off instant gaming, better/safer and easier than G2A in my opinion


Ok_Wolverine9837

I had fun playing Eras but it's way more expensive to get a good My player now than it was back say 2K20


Space0asis

Online has so many cheaters. I play with friends in private lobby’s and it’s fun. The neighborhood or whatever garbage system they have for getting online games fucking sucks. You wait more than play. Quite literally the worst EA game I’ve ever played. Still worth 10 bucks.


Quick_Development161

Not at all.


LordFenix_theTree

No


R4IN2354

no


BONOZL

Personally, having downloaded it when it hit game pass and trying it out, no, I don't think it's worth anything other than free to play at this point. The majority of modes are rigged for pay to do anything. You can still make a way through GM type of just casual exhibition, but anything P2P or online is going to focus you on putting in extra $. I have been off these games since 2K22, having purchased everyone single one since 2k on Dreamcast. By this point: Fuck 2k and their greedy ass creator company. Bring back EA and live, just so someone focres some type of market completion away from micro transaction investor call BS as opposed to making a quality game as the primary focus of each release.


Oproblems2

No, unless you have 80$ extra and 35+ hours of free time to grind your player to be good enough to use. Oh and also you need to be an internet service provider to not have lag that causes misses.


HoneydipsInGotham

if u like playing MyGM Franchise mode yeah. thats about the only good mode. Mycareer been going downhill for years now.


billy1ho

Only if they are paying you the ten dollars


Lumpy_Personality_41

No should be a free game. Can't get anywhere without dropping Money


KazutoKirigaya23

Don’t plan on playing the career mode, it’s 100% PTW now unless you have 200 hours to invest to get to a 92 overall.


Informal_Trip977

No.


bidenisland

Hellllll no 


iboughthisusername

For 10$ yes


Different-Amoeba-502

If you want to play the computer and online against nba teams then I guess. But any online play involving myplayer(most played mode) or ultimate team then you can add at least 50$ extra to make a team/player.


memedealer_josh

I don’t get why people say this so much, I’ve maxed out several builds with no money spent and advanced my main build’s career to be making around 2k vc a game playing like 10 minutes in real time (green everything get up 25 at half sim to end). If you’re a new player or want to work on mechanics in my career it takes very little time to build up a mass of vc, and once a build hits like 75-80 ovr it’s fully reasonable to take it online and possible to perform well.


memedealer_josh

Also quests are so much free vc. 100-250 per quest for super easy daily goals, 1000+ for weeklies, and 10k+ for season quests that usually complete themselves with regular gameplay


Different-Amoeba-502

I doubt you’ll do well as a new guy playing a 75 overall. You mentioned several builds, that means you already know thresholds on animations, packages, badges etc. He don’t.


memedealer_josh

Yes, being good at a game usually involves learning how to play the game. Thresholds on animations can be found by making a build and opening the animation store, and badges show themselves as you make the build. Those are pretty basic things to understand in order to be able to play the game, and saying that a new player having to learn those things means they should just skip the work and spend money is crazy.


Different-Amoeba-502

I disagree with that it’s easy to learn about badges and animations. Making a center build close shot makes sense right? Nope, not in 2k. Even small guards will contest the build with an under the basket layup or post up. 2k feast on people’s decision making in this game. First four seasons I hated my only build being a center at 6’11 with high close shot and post control. Couldn’t even fade on guards with 86 middy and dirk fadeaway pack. Now I got a meta 7’1 center build and averaging a 12-20-8 each game purple plated.


memedealer_josh

I think you’re basing a lot of this stuff on your individual experience and the strengths and weaknesses you have as a player, I hit middy fades all day with a 77 rating on my small guard and an 80 on my 6’10 pf. Close shot is good for post up builds if u don’t just walk into people and hold square, there are all kinds of moves u can do to hook around people and create space in the post. Either way tho the purpose of this was me saying that u don’t have to spend money, not that it’s easy to make a build. U can learn badges and animations and then grind out a build for $0 and hit the same 99 ovr cap as anyone else


Mysterious_Candy_466

Yes.


IgorTheHit

it has a bug rn, i bought the game like 2 weeks ago and the bug still isnt fixed


nastydoughnut

What bug


IgorTheHit

the game introduced some kinda "cheats" check and that is why a lot of people randomly started getting this thing where the ball would not pass and just be flown into the air. Literally look at steam discussion pages for 2k24 and you will see 39 pages of complaints


UABBlazers

I was going to bring this up. The game is unplayable to me due to this bug. I have no cheat programs and run just Windows processes at the same time and still see the bug every time.


IgorTheHit

literally me. had to delete the game for the time being


xMarshme

2k24 is a solid fun game despite what many say. Definitely worth 10 bucks.


QuagmireGiggitty

Ronnie stfu lol

Nah just get you a good meal dawg... trust me


Salty-Employee

Is the pc version next gen?


Raptorz1xx5

Yeah if you wanna play offline modes like mygm and playnow. Dont bother with mc


dasherchan

99 cents is the worth of the game because you will spend so much money and tons of time to become competitive.


Swish4123

Yes I just got it couple days ago it's awesome.


l_a_escoto

I got it for free through psn and only play mycareer, I'd say yea it's worth. I enjoy it. Sometimes


Various-Hunter-932

I bought it for $20 on steam like a month ago. I took the 100k vc version. If you’re playing offline then yes, you can do rebuilds etc. online is alright but mostly dead in my experience. I can only play late at night, west coast and it’s mostly dead with only 2-3 courts running 3v3. There’s some cheaters who’ll make almost every shot. Never played against no 20 ft tall players yet but yeah. It’s not really worth it online but if you’re doing it just for fun it’s a nice way to get virtual basketball in


K1NG_SAVAGE_

no its last gen graaphics


charlesfluidsmith

Offline only? Sure. Absolutely nothing else though.


Visionz-True

yea 10 bucks is literally nothing


BluePalmetto

If it has been a while definitely


arblackmon1

I play 2k almost exclusively for franchise modes like my league. If you want to do that, yes. Def worth. Solid game this year. I wouldn't if all you want is the online game modes though.


Big425253

Its $10 why not lol.


EvilSavant30

If u do association mode yeah my career costs too much and the servers will shut down in a few years so u will have to pay all over again


Abysmally_Yours

Yes it is. I’ve been playing the Micheal Jordan era in season mode. They did an excellent job with 90s basketball. They even have a filter to make it look all blurry like it looked on tv


supercalifragi123432

2k is never worth it


[deleted]

[удалено]


sirmarcdens

Its still bugged tbh. Refs wont pass you the ball. Or AIs cant pass the ball lmao. Its very funny to watch in MyCareer


memedealer_josh

That happened to me too, are you running your game at 60 fps with vsync? For whatever reason mycareer really seems to hate changing settings and it breaks everything. If not that maybe verify game files, but this games just kinda broken


Yundadi

i just buy it since it is just 10. It is full of bugs


texasjoker187

If you enjoy franchise eras mode, yes. If you're wanting to enjoy the online experience, I'd wait til next year. As a franchise eras player, I love it.


Round_Cut8695

FUCK.NO


AugustusTheVictor

If you can handle all the space it takes up and are a MyLeague player def


Lumpy_Personality_41

Next year my player probably start with a rating of 10. He can't even run unless you spend 10 on a running package.But they will make sure he's the #1 pick in the draft and starting day one, the pressures on to buy that VC


BedBubbly317

You really asking strangers online what to spend your own money on?


EffectiveAfternoon60

I don’t know if it is but I suggest you get like 2k23 if you just want to play casually. Unless you can find 24 for cheaper, there is still a few online players to play against


No_Challenge_8277

2K24 isn’t worth $1


Traditional_Rate1611

no if ur want to play online, Park on pc is filled with modders and cheaters. I got some banned but its annoying bc you have make a report on every player and response takes a week sometimes. Its old gen too, so console version is way better too.


CCorrell57

It really isn’t. Though, just logged on a few nights ago to find 60+ in a park server.


ReaperofAsh

wanna play sometime?


Speedclub

As a casual playing it’s ok but on pvp it bad


The_Dok33

If you plan to play online: no, the PC version is known to be too easy to modify/hack. If you plan to play only offline: sure thing, enjoy.


vikaskrpatel94

It's worth it for $10 since you haven't played since 2K5. MyCareer, play offline. Enjoy the game. Once you reach 87+ overall, try online. MyTeam, don't touch it. Play Now Online is fine. Other offline modes are great.


Naive-Dingo-2100

You need to add in the $100 worth of VC to be able to do anything with your my player.


Jam19801980

$50. Tho one good thing about this year is that my career is cheaper.


New-Complex1201

It's free on gamepass.


love_feet_

For that price yes absolutely go for it. You will enjoy solo career


Forbidden76

I would never pay money for it. I get it free every year with Game Pass around All Star break.


virtuosozz

i get it for free with (paid subscription)


Forbidden76

Yes Game Pass is a paid subscription. You get a prize!
