Best 2k I can buy to date?

[Cyotey]

Pretty much the title. I've been googling but everyone says the best is 2k11 which unfortunately I cannot get. The only one I own is 2k15 which is alright. I know it was one of the first to my knowledge to have a story mode but it's...rough. MC acting and customization is terrible. So I'm wondering what would be the best I could buy atm. I don't care for MP. I've never touched it and never will. I just want an enjoyable SP experience with myCareer with the least amount (or the fairest/most balanced) of the bs 'rating' system lots of the titles force on you. Thanks!

The problem is that even MyCareer in the newer 2k's is bound to Online Play. I believe 2k22 has their servers turned off already so your best way would be trying rly old 2ks that dont forced MyCareer to be an Online Mode or you play 2k25 since 2k24 doesnt have a Story on PC. What you could also do is buy 2k25 and play the Eras Mode where you can jump into the MJ,Bird,Magic,Bron,Kobe,Curry Eras and download Custom made Rosters

2k15 is like that too. There are things you absolutely cannot get since some of the goods were tied to online. But as long as it doesn't break the game and I can still play I don't mind too much which is the case for it. If you mean it literally disables SP altogether....then I don't know how that's legal. It's crazy how devs keep teetering on that barely legal/moral edge. But again, I just want the smoothest and most enjoyable myCareer experience. I don't care for the online tie in stuff.

I liked 2k13 'cause you could play Jordan/Shaq + others in create-a-legend; same as mycareer but with actual players.

Since you've played 15, nothing much has really changed up until now. Just updated rosters, graphics(in places) and animations. 2k25 is still light-years away from being a good game but there's just no other choice for basketball.

I got sick of the BS of recent years, especially 2k25. So I'm back playing myCareer in 2k15. 10 year old game and I am having a blast. It's a bit "arcadey" compared to recent years, but the game is simply hassle-free and fun to play. No online casino, no pay-to-win BS. Just ball. And Kobe. <3

Its truly crazy that microtransactions are all tied into online gameplay that will never be able to be kept in an offline area of the game. Like all the cards and special stats and traits that you may have invested in or worked toward. What's weirder is that the players all seem to support the idea of not keeping it thinking that there would be some advantage in the next game. That doesn't even make sense if they just become toes to the account for the old game. It's really brainwashed marketing effects on the community I guess.

They can do whatever they want 'cause they have a monopoly. Nothing will change until someone else steps up.

Yeah a monopoly and the fact that consumer laws somehow don't really apply to developers. Who knows if some other company will get the license for them.
