NBA 2K24 Faces Backlash Over Poor Big Man Gameplay

NBA 2K24 has faced criticism from players, especially those who play as centers, for poor big man gameplay.
A Reddit post described the gameplay for centers as the worst it's ever been in the NBA 2K series.
Centers feel clunky, move slowly, and lack realism and dominance according to complaints.
Some players agree with the criticisms, while others have had a more positive experience playing as big men.
It's unclear if updates and improvements can address complaints and lift NBA 2K24's low review scores.
