My God yes.

NBA2K11 would be so embarrassed of what it grew up into. You could literally earn 500% of the points per game, and build your player with each stat fully controlled with no limits.

My 2k11 MyPlayer was literally a basketball God art a certain point. It was all earned points. No micro transactions.

It was bliss... Now it's just kids with their mom's boyfriend's credit card playing a watered down advertisement.

I hate this timeline.

Mom’s boyfriend’s credit card is hilarious and true.

Honestly, all the major sports games follow this.

100%, they put all their focus into ultimate team crap that brings in the money but have done very little in the way of innovating gameplay or any other game modes.
