I'm not really excited about THIS particular expansion, but I was ecstatic to see that another thing I've been barking about was actually happening--and before official release--EXPANSIONS!!! I've been saying that--like almost all modern games--that NBA 2k needs to implement expansions! That way for the few people like me, Euroleague, FIBA & WNBA, can shell out a few more bucks to get exactly what we want! Plus, leagues like WNBA & FIBA events that happen after the NBA season is over, people who are interested can pay a bit more to enjoy the leagues they love. I'm sure US sales for some of those expansions might not be grand, but I'm sure internationally there would be great interest & it would be available for the US, for the ones that are interested.
I would even dip into the ole wallet even if they asked for small amounts for BIG face updates or feature updates, etc. Cause, God knows, even though I LOVE tons of what they've done with 2k17--I mean its almost ALL positives so far--there are still tons of missing faces & out-of-date faces (i.e. Aaron Baynes' odd, fat white cyberface) that desperately need to be addressed...
My joy for the expansion packs quickly subsided when I realized almost immediately that it wasn't available for the PC. And not to sound like all of the other "woh-is-me-PC" people--but DAMN--2k wouldn't even KNOW anyone was interested in Euroleague, FIBA, or WNBA if it wasn't for the tireless efforts by the PC MODDERS... and EVERY YEAR there is ALWAYS an NCAA MOD with tons of work that goes into it. So, to only offer it up to the next gen consoles is a major sack of BULLSHIT! But, since PC usually have to wait longer for patches and other features are completely unavailable, I will be patient... and withhold my FULL RAGE until this current & future expansions are absolutely positive that thy aren't coming out AT ALL for PC.
I saw in the Modding Progress thread that there are some weird spots in the files that could be reserved for expansion data, so fingers crossed... Cause it could be REALLY awesome if expansions are the new 2k trend!
RETIRED MODDER I used to MOD, but I quit because people & whatnot...
