NBA 2K24 Players Criticize "Atrocious" Big Man Gameplay as the Worst Yet

NBA 2K24 hasn't been immune to controversy since its release. Gamers have raised various concerns, spanning from severe lag issues in the Park multiplayer mode to the divisive new badge regression feature, which has led to a perception that playing 2K24 resembles more of a “work shift” than an enjoyable gaming experience.

One contentious aspect of the game has been its “pay-to-play” model, where players often feel compelled to spend real money, especially in modes like MyCareer and Park, to stay competitive.

Yet, among these criticisms, the gameplay experience for centers has been a notable source of disappointment for some players. A Reddit post has served as a rallying point for these grievances, underscoring the perceived decline in the experience of playing as big men in the game.

The Reddit post's author, an experienced center player, bluntly described the gameplay for big men in NBA 2K24 as the "worst the position has ever felt in a 2K game."

Despite their impressive in-game statistics, the user expressed dissatisfaction with how big men handle on the court. According to the post, centers feel "clunky," move with a distinct lack of fluidity, and often seem to have "cinder blocks for feet."

The player went on to elaborate on the challenges faced, including slow movement speed, an absence of rewarding gameplay for intelligent interior play, and new animations that frequently lead to turnovers.

Many other players chimed in, echoing these sentiments and highlighting the absence of the expected power and dominance that should come with playing as big men, given their in-game attributes. Others expressed parallel frustrations, citing issues like the lack of realism and the difficulties encountered when embodying a center in the game.

It's important to acknowledge that not all players share the same perspective. Some have reported a more positive experience playing as big men in NBA 2K24, suggesting that the gameplay encounter can vary among individuals.

The big question now centers on whether eagerly anticipated game updates and improvements can rescue NBA 2K24 from its status as the worst-rated game on Steam of all time.
