2K players: What would it take for you to switch to another basketball game?
Imagine a basketball game you buy once, with new stories and updates instead of having to purchase another game every year. You still get player builds, customization, theatrics, different game modes, and your own crews.
Here’s the concept:
Active cheat detection during every game. Instead of relying only on reports, confirmed cheaters would be removed from the match and placed in “bad sport” lobbies with other confirmed cheaters. There would need to be a way to appeal mistakes.
More realistic basketball. Shooting range and consistency would reflect player ability, with deep shots balanced around how difficult they are in real basketball.
Create your own shooting motion. Think of a feature similar to face scanning, but for capturing your shot.
A fresh start each season. You create a new build and progress again within the same game.
Optional purchases. Credits could boost your chosen attributes, with clothes and other customization available to buy.
A new story each year, delivered within the existing game.
This is an early concept, and I want honest feedback from people who actually play.
What would make you try it? What would make you stay? And which of these ideas would turn you away?
