I’m surprised not really that people still put up with the 2K bullshit. It’s hasn’t been good for over 10 years now with all the micro transactions and in-game ads :(
No, because there are plenty of other placrs to get coffee. The only competing franchise, NBA Live, stopped being made years ago. The irony is that NBA licensing isn’t exclusive, so feasibly another studio could come in to create competition, but it won’t happen.
From the outside its easy to say vote with your wallet, but I imagine a lot of foss nerds aren’t into sports, so actual sports fans get stuck between choosing shit or shittier.
Unlike American football and baseball, NBA does not have an exclusivity deal with 2K, last I heard. It’s just that their competitors always made worse games, and 2K was all that survived. There isn’t even an off-brand basketball game to turn to without the NBA license. If you want video game basketball, this is basically all there is.

Somebody needs to bring back NBA Jam.
BOOMSHAKALAKA!
Isn’t that just like saying there’s no other company selling Starbucks® coffee?
Like yeah that’s the point

Damn I didn’t realise that, that is shitty.

I imagine the genre is extra starved for projects, as a lot of the nerds that would typically recreate it aren’t into sports.
