For now, fans of the franchise seemingly got inspired by the claims of major new gameplay features coming in the next title, and have been discussing the possible new developments quite a lot. And those discussions are something worth following as well.
Players themselves seem to have some interesting ideas for how the game should be developed further, and they have been talking about those ideas a lot at online messaging boards. In some cases, those ideas are a bit outrageous, but of course we don’t expect 2K to implement every single one.
It is quite apparent that the studio pays attention to those discussions though, as they have been implementing various minor details from these discussions in the most recent title, even if they don’t directly admit it to their fans.
This, on the other hand, has inspired some people to be even more active in those discussions and we’ve seen a surge of talks on forums related to the game. Even for someone who doesn’t play the game itself, it’s still interesting to follow those discussions. There are definitely some interesting ideas being shared in those talks, and it’s fun to see what “NBA” fans are thinking.
