The choice of 2K Games to include advertising within its NBA 2K 21 . A few days after the ‘discovery’, the US publisher responds to user criticism with a message of apology and, above all, promising a solution. This time the community seems to have prevailed , but the fixes promised by 2K may not please everyone.

NBA 2K 21: 2K Games’ apologies, stop advertising?

The 2K Games team welcomed player feedback on the new basketball simulator and, on Twitter, spread an official press release on the issue of commercials – present, we recall, also in the penultimate chapter of the NBA2K series.

The 2K message literally reads the following words: “As many know, in recent years the announcements advertisements have been integrated within the 2KTV segments. Yesterday’s 2KTV episode and its placement had an unexpected impact on the experience of our players, as these advertisements are not meant to run as part of the introduction pre-match “.

Put simply, the commercials advertisements will be removed from the loading screens that will anticipate each match, but, in all likelihood, we will find them in 2KTV with another type of positioning . It may be an effective solution to the invasiveness of the aforementioned ads, but the fact that these will continue to exist within the game still makes you turn up your nose; after all, we’re talking about a stock that will be sold at the recommended price of 80 euro in its next-gen versions.

Meanwhile, users point out to 2K Games that there is another, serious problem that plagues NBA 2K 21: i cheater . The game does not feature an anti-cheat system that can protect players during online games, a serious shortcoming for triple-A production.

NBA 2K 21 is available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One and will soon be landing on next-generation consoles, with Xbox Series X | S and PS5 versions arriving in November.
