a psyop disguised as a game designed to get your money

I thought this was supposed to be a basketball simulator, why the hell can my guy not hit a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shot in the gym? Why is every layup whiffed?

OH, that's right, because I can pay for the privilige of being competent enough to not get laughed off the floor in my NBA FANTASY SIM. VC, virtual coins, gotta buy in- the game doesn't let you forget it. If not the microtransactions, there is this whole world of outside content you just cannot escape.

This is a full price tumor taking up 150gb of my harddrive, optimized like ♥♥♥♥, half of that being the stupid sponsored content and tie-ins and the other useless spectacle pieces that add nothing but bloat and time wasters while the real games fetters in mediocrity because the devs have been whipped into soulless code goblins by corporate fat cats who see the videogame as nothing more than a chance to bully 15 year olds into spending their dairy queen pay into making their virtual basketball star anything other than a d3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who'd be picking up boards at the ymca.

It's so startlngly dissappointing and for how blatantly greedy it is at it's size I wouldn't be surprised if it was mining crypto too
