You already know its fucking trash. Like every year.

They should release 2 different versions. One with just actual basketball, nothing else, just a sim and an arcade mode. And the other one with all the bullshit stat grinding micro-transactional pay to win and horrible cringe as fuck career story mode and all the other game modes they invented just to keep you grinding for a hundred hours until you get so sick of it you either quit the game and uninstall it in disgust or pay another $100 just to make the game actually playable.

Guess which one would sell more?
