NBA 2K26

This game is poorly made. I played for over 20 hours without touching the online stuff, just MyNBA 'Franchise' or whatever they're calling it now. The UI is awful. They must not have listened people who tried the game and just put it out like they do every year. It just has multiple ways to get to the same menu, making it annoying by a factor of n button presses. Same thing with number sliders, little QoA things, there is no way to enter a specific amount on just a controller. Might sound trivial, but almost all of these contracts are in the 10's of millions, so sitting there waiting for the slider to go up is extremely annoying. Things from the older games have not been iterated upon, yet rather discarded and replaced with worse versions of the same thing... As someone coming back to the franchise after playing hundreds of hours of 2k2020, buying this version on sale for $10 is a quite the let down. I'm going to try to create another custom league in franchise mode but I'm not optimistic, it might take a ton of messing with sliders to make it feel decent to play. Again, I haven't even touched online or MyPlayer.... but it seems like every part of the game is just worse. Oh also low VRAM with 16gb RAM and 8gb VRAM on my laptop which is a 2023 mid range just fyi, this thing chugs and is not well optimized. I know 16 and 8 isn't a lot these days but damn, this isn't exactly Crysis: 2027.The AI also sucks. OH AND ALSO you used to be able to save your settings to a 'profile' so that you didn't have to redo that process a billion times... nowhere to be found here. This is a lazy cash grab and it got me. edit: also kernel level anti cheat it's so not worth it.
