NBA 2K24 Dazzles with Broadcast Polish and MyCAREER Drama, But VC Costs Remain Prohibitive

Stunning visuals and presentation make NBA 2K24 feel like a real sports broadcast. The on-court action is smooth and responsive.
Story-driven MyCAREER mode is more focused this year, but still pushes players towards purchasing VC microtransactions.
New Miami-inspired open world and street basketball options add variety, but VC costs are still outrageous.
Excellent additions like the Kobe Bryant Mamba Moments campaign and expanded Franchise mode offer plenty for solo players.
Deep card-collecting MyTEAM mode is less aggressive with microtransactions compared to other sports titles. You can still build a competitive team without spending.
