Here's Why You Will NEVER see NBA 2K24's Best Version.. 

Everytime 2k season comes around, I watch that video you made about VC ruining the game. It’s still relevant.

It’s crazy how indie devs with 3 people can intergrate multiple anti cheats but a billion dollar company such as 2K can’t lmfao insane

Thank you Dom for being the only big voice for the PC 2k community. As someone who can't force himself to play the vanilla version, i will die on the hill of modded 2k, even if i have to play 2k23 for the rest of my days. Sadly, the majority of users simply don't care all that much about realism, which is understandable too.

As a programmer I can tell u that making a next gen game on pc wouldn't be difficult programmers are taught to make code readable and reusable so this is definitely an issue of money and laziness that's causing them to waste time

I know people joke on NBA Live but I realllyyyy hope it comes back at some point in the next few years, especially seeing how they made that post about canceling 20 and focusing on next gen just to ghost us, a live release (preferably for a cheap price) would at least put some pressure on 2K

2k23 was my first 2k game and I was so mad when I found out it was missing all the features that made me wanna buy it in the first place, but the modding community saved the game for me. The modding community for this game is incredible.

4:40 I'm a long retired modder at this point but seeing my 2k77 again almost 3 years later was kinda surreal

some of us are just PC gamers my guy, last console I had was SEGA Genesis. buying console + subscription just for one game isn't worth it. there are lots of hoopers like me in Europe.

Possibly a bit off-topic, but I have no idea how 2k and sports games in general are allowed to continue with such an archaic yearly release model while releasing the same game with new features. That’s a $70 software update every year as it stands. The game should’ve been converted to live-service a long time ago, while dropping at most 1 game per generation to update the visuals.

2k doesn't want people to have next gen on PC because mods would give us easy roster updates forever.

It’s so annoying. Playing 2k21 on PC was the most fun I’ve had with the game since 2k16. The next gen version is awesome, but I wont buy another one until they get it on PC. If they never do, I’ll go back to buying 2k once every 3-5 years again 😂

FINALLY someone on the 2K Platform has talked about the disrespect 2K has been doing on the PC

Just speak volumes on the goals of 2k. Look at the efforts the PC community puts it. When I use to play myleague mode, I remember there was always ppl that made rosters with the most realistic, detailed stats, player and team tendencies, etc. You have shadymike who use to do the jumpshot fixes cause 2k would just guess. Of course myleague and the offline modes dont generate any revenue so it doesnt make any sense to care much about it from the business standpoint but it just shows how 2k will never be the same. The gameplay, and online issues are a whole other issue that requires a paragraph in itself lol

Thank you for being a voice for the PC community. It's crazy that PC outperforms PS5 and they won't give us Next gen

Does anyone else think these games have reached their peak?? Other than seeing new rookies and players come in, these games aren’t entertaining at all!!

They can't profit on PC releases, people on that platform actually have a brain to know VC is BS and bypassing them using mods lmao.

Thanks for dropping this video bro - it's much needed

Once the PS4 and Xbox One gets sunset'd, that'll be it for NBA 2k on the PC. I think NBA 2k25 is probably the last 2k on PC. It's funny that this is around the time EA Sports is putting more effort on the PC. Madden 24 will be current gen on PC as will EA Sports FC.

They are putting crossplay at the forefront of all the marketing as if it's some feature never seen before in any video game

I was just surfing around Dom2K's channel, and now he finally drops a vid? wow, talk about timing

PC community is better, you can actually make open layups without your teammates standing outta bounds

It is crazy how a game made in a computer does not have the same feature seen in console. In the 4th consecutive years.

Dom speaking on 2K👀

You the goat for speaking on this

I only have a PC, I don't give a shit about consoles and don't want to buy a console just to play 2k it's so frustrating

Lmfao Dom’s outta pocket for that Homelander cameo

its so annoying man, the worst part is when you complain about this people will just say "you guys are hackers nobody wants to play with yall" WHEN WE ARE FINE WITHOUT CROSSPLAY

Banger Video

The Dom 2K20 legends league and sim was special, when that full legends league finals series vs the heat being reuploaded?🤣

Dom2k emulates a Nintendo game Rom2k

It's genuinely because 2K hasn't cared about or prioritized making a "great game" since 2009. They did have some great 2ks since 2009 but the loss of competition hurt consumers. Removal of game modes. Completely broken and unusable features that never get patched. No F2P options for either of there micro-transaction heavy game modes. I could go on.

Great video! Yep... I'm staying on modded 23 as a protest

Thanks Dom !

5:30 sadly even Rockstar has stopped keeping PC parity with Current Gen. PC still gets the big content updates but it is missing some content that is specific to current gen like Hao's Auto shop

another thing to take into account alot of those pc sales are probably picked up on sale. Personally i was getting the console version at launch then when the game was dying down i would get it on the steam sale for a much lower price.

THE WAIT IS OVER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man we've been doing the mynba eras long before 2k20, i remember the 2k13 NLSC forums had rosters for each year plus drafts and correct schedules. And i bet its been a thing since before that, still nice having it in game though

I've been preaching for the past two months that 2K should give the community some type of creator tools, pretty much what Fortnite does with Fortnite Creative. Fortnite pretty much will never run out of content as long as they keep giving their playerbase the tools to create whatever modes they want. Imagine 2K gave us tools to create our own park mode with different rules, our own custom parks etc and there's a community tab so you can see who's creation is being most played. If they do that, then maybe the game wouldn't die after the first month and people could be incentivized to keep buying vc.

So what PC mods do you recommend? Is there a package you can download that just covers everything? I know previously you could get one, but I don't remember the name, but it came with cyberfaces and rosters. I don't know which games it is is available for though. Is 2k23 the best one to mod? Or are people still mainly working with 22 or older? Edit: Ultimate Base Roster. That's it. Is it still being used/updated?

Yeah, I honestly have only played on PC for the last few years now due to me building myself a PC a few years back when I was younger over christmas gifts slowly. Now trying to save up for a house and its not easy to justify dropping a bunch of money on PS5 and the new game currently. So sucks it will probably be gone on PC soon. Glad to see someone talk about it tho!

Been part of the modding community since 2K13, I still to this day have more hours in 2K14 on my PC over any other game just based on roster modding keeps the game alive

>2k is trying to kill the PC version Yep. We've been theorizing this since 2k22 and it's true, it's a shame. An absolute shame. I'm glad you're covering this topic and spreading the word though, the demand needs to go up

The PC version doesn't even have a storyline

Is that tray lmaooo aye yo

The ship sailed on the series about 3 or 4 years ago. There's no coming back.

thank you for speaking on this topic. i don't own a console because I don't care about playing rec or park. i just like to mess around in myleague and myteam offline by myself. i was saving up my steam money for the new 2k but after hearing its last gen I'm not buying that shit. why would I support and spend money to hopefully have them not neglect an entire section of their playerbase even if it is smaller than console.

3:00 made me choke on my food 😭

Personally I've been waiting for PC to release again because I bought a PC instead of the next gen consoles. Feeling bummed again this year

2K24 is the first 2K I haven't bought since the series came over to PC

I was trying to learn to get new Blacktop courts. Now I just want to remove as many restrictions on animations as possble so I can lab. PS: Old Gen only gets Wembanyama's jumpshot for season 2, that was it.

I wish 2k had the same kind of modding community games like Skyrim have because i've tried modding 2k and it's just so not user friendly, the websites are shady as hell and I can't tell which ones are actually good to download mods off of, you don't have something like a Nexus or a ModDB. As far as I can tell too there isn't any kind of mod menu/manager either, I'd be tempted to download a ton of cyberfaces but I don't want to replace some files, have them break something, then reinstall the game

Dom I fuck with you, I fuck with this video, but I ultimately think it's a waste of time. As long as 2K continues to make money hand over fist with VC any and all requests are null and void. I bought every 2k game from 2K11 to 2K 19 day one, then bought 20, 21 late and second hand because I didn't want to support 2K. Now I don't even think about buying the game anymore, and play other games. I got tired of 2K pissing on my head and telling me it's rain.

Somebody made a video about it 😮 I haven't bought 2k since 20 because of the PC community getting shafted.

What about those of us who don't own consoles? I only game on PC and I don't use mods. I just want to play the best game. Also all the online content is for next gen at this point. Any time you look up builds, bad recs, or take overs you basically have to look at last year's version.

That ratchet and clank outro is so nostalgic

I have bought and played at launch on PC every year since 2k16. This is my first year I'm going to skip. I just prefer to play on PC and don't have any consoles. Luckily I will be busy with Starfield when 2k24 launches.

I suspect this is the console’s doing, as why would you buy an XBOX or a PS5 if you can get the best version on PC.

Pirating never felt like a better alternative 😊

The perfect 2k24 would be just for them to remaster 2k17 or 16: just make the exact same game with better graphics and new rosters. Every game has been terrible ever since. Not even okay. All of them have been terrible.

Bring the dom channel back bro for ur 2k vids

It's a simple question 2K does not care and sadly they're not the only ones who do this

We need NBA Live to come back man.

I don't have a ps5 so I play 2k on PC, I only really play MyCareer or Myleague because its too laggy to do online stuff, but I do have to admit I bought the game for MyEra and was dissappointed when PC didn't have it. I'm still dissappointed to this day.

i only reason i want mods is to have 2k14 style animations in next gen 2k24

What’s the name of that elevator music that plays at the end of ur videos

If you do a 2k throwback league can you mod the game so its starts in soy 2009 or do you take the rosters and then put them into 2023 and go from there?

You know like how WWE got community creations 2K should have that like for shoes,cyberfaces and courts BTW only way I remember this was because the last SvR’s I played were 2010 and 2011

Same ol games every yr,all they do is add a new animation and call it the best game ever.....haven't bought 2k in 4yrs

There’s probably millions of people who stopped playing 2k for the usual reasons that dont know abt modded 2k on pc that would buy it were to come out on pc if they saw the true capability of next gen 2k with mods. Im no business man but i think its worth it to try even a little bit to port it to pc

Kinda hyped for 2K25 on PC now that it's gonna drop as a next-gen game. No crossplay though, I imagine it because these assholes do be cheating.

2K should just add a workshop system.

Time for NBA Live or some other company to take us PC Gamers' money. Heck just make a base basketball game with randoms and then let the steamworkshop and mods do the work.

2K don’t want y’all playing the game like that if you aren’t buying MyTeam packs and VC lol

I create content for pc and this is very frustrating ive been waiting for 3years salute to ea at least for giving fifa

early to a dom vid lets go

I buy 2k on PC for 1 reason, to play with my buddies in the rec. None of us wanna buy a console for only 2k. PC has everything else better than consoles for every other games we play.

The assumption that "no one is buying the PC version to play online" is based on *false* assumption that everyone who owns a PC also has new gen consoles... That is not the case. Not all of us are rich. Up until recently, new gen consoles were urban legends in most countries. Not all of us will throw away money to buy a new console just to play NBA 2K, when we have built beast PCs to play every other game. Most PC gamers do all of their gaming on PC and want a complete/updated version of NBA 2K on PC. It's so ridiculous that 2K is hiding behind hacking and mods, to excuse their laziness in designing the new version for PC (with its wide range of hardware). Especially when we all know on which "platform" all the development is done for all versions of the game.

Take two interactive’s bottom line is to be as profitable as possible even it means killing the gaming experience for everyone, its the reason we’ve literally grown old waiting on gta 6 lmao

Now pc is getting next gen for 2k25 but theres no cross play tho

2:40 To answer your question me anecdotally. 2k20 was the last one I purchased because 2k wouldn't deliver next gen to PC and I thought why should I give them money when they want to half ass cater to me. I don't have a PS5 or XBox but I have a PC that eclipses them in power and 2k can't even bring themselves to deliver a port to a beast of a machine that will handle the game better than their console releases.

Wish more 2k youtubers would speak on this, makes me think they're being told not to by 2K.

2k14 this happened to for some odd reason they gave pc the old version

Holy this is accurate

This is so sad to hear I literally only play 2k on PC because I don’t have an xbox or ps5

I only play on PC, mostly my league with mods and have refused to buy any new 2k for years until they decide to actually port next gen, but I know they don’t give a shit cause I don’t buy VC

Until people stop buying the game in mass 2K will never give a shit

the reason i want next gen on PC is because im not gonna buy a console for 500 bucks just to play 1 game lol. i want the eras system and the updated gameplay not the old stuff

I'm buying PC version not because customization, i'm buying it because i don't have PS or XBOX 2K is just dont care, thats it

Thank you for speaking about the PC version of 2k I think you are the only "big voice" talking about this the last 2k I played for a while was 2k20, and now I got 2k23 on the summer sale, I kinda gave up on the pc version of 2k

where do you get the mods from?

This is one of many problems I have with 2k: • As you mentioned in this video, PC support is nonexistent to the point where Next Gen will never get ported to PC. Since 2k24 is getting cross play, the devs don't want to deal with PC players hacking the fun away from the console players. From what I know, PC 2k lacks an anti cheat and that's the devs fault. • Mod support is amazing but the fact that I have to cough up $70 just to be able to mod a game with the same identical assets but upgraded each year is beyond fucked up. It's cool if the engine or the assets the devs use barely change so porting over mods is literally a Thanos snap away but in the modders perspective, I would be absolutely annoyed to do this each year. Mods are for offline content which is great and I know the older version still have ongoing mod support but this is unreal to re-mod the same game with the same price tag. • I told myself that 2k should just make a live service game so that they can add and update content as time progresses instead of yearly releases. PC can be playable with cross play and next gen with a great anti cheat. Blacktop, MyLeague, MyGM and the other modes can be the offline counterparts. They'll be able to roster update and balance change without splitting the work force on another game and keep the assets and engine upgraded. Depending on how it's executed, they could make tons more money back this way. With all of that being said, I really hope we get another NBA Live game down the line.

Dom2k whats your intro soundtrack at 00:13 ? I like it but can't find it

Where are mods for the PC versions found at? And when we say PC, are we meaning Steam?

needing to make noise for next gen look at steam reviews

i just wanna play park on next gen pc...

It could not be that hard to come up with an anti-cheat, especially for a Triple A company with infinite money behind it. MediaTonic (Fall Guys) tried to make their own AC then asked EpicGames for help. 2k is using that as an excuse to be lazy and not do it. There isn't even a reporting system to ban the cheaters. 2k says PC players need to make their voice heard... which means buy the game as-is so they figure there's even more money on top of their RECORD PROFITS. Why would we buy a LG port that looks awful, has no effort put into it, and is disconnected from every other platform? It's a lose-lose situation all while 2k gets richer and richer every single year.

The funniest part is how easy it would be to fix the issues that plague 2k on PC. I play crossplay all the time on street fighter 6 and fortnite on PC and I’ve never had to deal with any of the issues on 2k 2k on PC makes FIFA look like the best game of all time If you make EA look better than you than at this point it’s just personal

After Microsoft said 6 will no longer be making games for Xbox One, I see next gen on PC coming soon

I know you didn’t show a disc sitting on top of a Series S, what you gon put it in? 😂

I wish they could somehow add online personal servers like old games let you do.
