FixNBA2K20 Hashtag Trends as NBA 2K20 Players Express Grievances
nba 2k20 mt has been a series
built on incremental improvements. Headed into this year, prospects
seemed high, with a star-studded cast and a host of new features. But
post-launch, concerns are growing into a chorus through a hashtag dubbed
"#FixNBA2K20," where NBA 2K20 players are lamenting the current state
of the game.
With its only major competition backed up and away from 2K's release
window, it seemed like 2K20 was poised to dominate the world of virtual
basketball. Through introducing the WNBA into 2K and some experimental
new changes, 2K20 had hopes to dominate the tail end of this console
cycle.
However, players are discovering numerous bugs, glitches, and
imbalances within 2K20. Collected under a hashtag of "FixNBA2K20,"
players are voicing issues in a few main areas, namely the continued
presence of microtransactions and what some are calling "false
advertising."
The microtransactions and "gambling" issues weren't hard to see
coming. In fact, just prior to the launch of 2K20, a MyTeam trailer went
out that painted the mode with literal casino imagery, including slots
and pachinko. And while the goal seemed to be to speed up the VC grind,
it doesn't seem like these systems were ever going to go away
completely.
The bugs and imbalances are a much larger point, though. Reports of
"lagging out" of offline games and features that changed between early
talk and the final build of 2K20 have players riled up on social
media.Players still seem set on sticking with the game, as it's the
iteration of 2K they're stuck with either way. But even if the
microtransactions are a long shot, hopefully some of these technical
issues can get fixed up in the coming days and weeks. When you're the
only up-to-date pro basketball game on shelves, you get all the
attention, and that much more scrutiny. For our own impressions on NBA
2K20 so far, check out our review-in-progress.
