NBA 2K20 Release: 2K NBA Should Break the One Year Development Cycle.

We’re now less than three months away from the buy nba 2k20 mt release. It means the time has come to focus on possible gameplay features, wishlists, and the announcement of the cover athlete. But beyond all the speculations, there’s one more thing that the game community needs to focus on – the rushed development cycle of NBA 2K games.
Soon after releasing a new game, developers at Visual Concepts start working on the next game of the series. NBA 2K has been dominating the basketball sports simulation video games space for years. It is giving tough competition to EA’s NBA Live which is also focusing on yearly release. It’s fair to say that the NBA 2K franchise brings the best basketball simulation games, but it is also true that most of the time, these games feel rushed.
Soon after the NBA 2K19’s release, everyone at 2K support was struggling to deal with the number of complaints from players. There were many issues related to the progression system, My Career, VCs, and microtransactions. It was funny – and sad – to see that just before the launch, 2K was urging players to contact their local government about the controversial loot box ban in Belgium. When the game was out, it was full of bugs. Many people poked fun at and criticized 2K when players started facing problems.
This wasn’t the first time when 2K had to face such complaints from the community. Many loyal fans skipped 2K19 after the backlash over microtransactions in NBA 2K18. These all are the side effects of the one-year development cycle where most of the ideas and suggestions by players get ignored and developers feel bound to complete a new game before September. Even now players have a lot of ideas on how the next game could be better, but everybody knows that it’s too late for developers to work on new ideas because the announcement time is almost here. Breaking this development cycle would mean people will get less number of games to play. But the time 2K Sports will get to work on things can significantly improve the experience.
If 2K takes 2 or 3 years to develop a new game, the final product would feel complete. The amount of content will be more and most importantly, the quality of the story would actually feel more relatable, meaningful and better. Microtransactions have already become an inseparable part of video games and it’s not at all bad. Players really don’t mind paying for in-game items if they get something valuable when they spend their money.www.nbamtcoin.com
