Lee jeu se ferme à chaque utilisation et c'est la même chose sur quasi tous les nba depuis 2k23. Les jeux sont mal optimisés et c'est dommage car j'aimais bien le mode carrière
圆了自己小时候的梦
buy the game. install the game. start the game. turn your controller on because the game is played best with a controller. wait an hour and a half (yes that's accurate) while it does computation for shaders and whatever tf else. should they have done something at the development stage to not make this waste of time required? yes. its a basketball game. why do i have to compile shaders? there are only two types of video cards. nvidia and the bad ones. basketball. bass kit bawl. i think they're trying to pad the install to 2 hours so that we can't refund. now windows is asking me if i want to close it or wait for NBA 2K26 to respond, to do whatever it is theoretically doing. there had better be laser head-scans of every nba player that is still alive and most of the dead ones to pay for this pre-game time investment i've been forced into without warning. i've played more pokemon go since i clicked "play" on steam and watched time literally reverse. is this a good game? i'll find out some day. possibly. now windows is asking me if i want to wait for the game to respond or terminate the game. again. a game that i haven't played. what game? who knows. its a schrodinger's game at this point. is there a basketball? was there ever a basketball? what is a basketball and why is this guy paying money to pretend play a sport? its probably going to ask me for quarters to continue next. what a joyful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ experience. apparently i've played 32 minutes (now 2 hours) without seeing a basketball on screen because of the "optimizations". there should be some minigame. even chrome has a minigame. are the optimizations worth it? in theory i'll find out. the game didn't respond. again. i'll let it try again because ... who the hell knows why. i didn't know that timers to completion could only count away from completion. 3 minutes, 15 minutes, then 27 minutes. they apparently can run equations for shaders but can't predict how much time those shaders will cost me. i can hardly wait to see my electricity bill after this. i'm almost sure that my water bill will be higher too. thanks AI, i will drink that turpentine after all. wheee! bouncy bouncy basketball. i'd like to play a basketball game, it's a shame i bought the loading simulator instead. tl;dr: i'd rather install windows 95 via a literal 23 diskettes over the standard 4 hours than wait for this game to finish calculating.. something. at least i could hold down the enter key with a 9v battery for the windows install and there was solitaire and minesweeper at the end of the time investment. lord willing i'll get to miss the hoop once or twice before i give up and never play this game again. i probably wouldn't have written a review but i had plenty of time to question all of my life choices.
