Building community in sports games is hard. FIFA and Madden do so much better almost exclusively because of Ultimate Team. 2K having so many modes and so much stuff to do is almost a detriment in the sense, with FIFA and Madden, like a fighting game, most people playing consistently play competitively (unless they’re…
I see why the 2K league is being tried - it seems like the logical way to get regular sports fans interested in esports. Someone who couldn’t care less about shooting fantasy characters or pushing a lane would, on paper, be more interested in a game version of the sport they enjoy.

VGCW is one of my favorite pieces of gaming culture. A group of people took the quirky, and sometimes broken, WWE 2K engine and story mode, and turned it into something truly special. Read more

to clarify, in my head canon version, genji then begins to fall, but pharah—who is not actually dead—catches him at the last second and saves his life. at that point it’s obvious that pharah is a good and noble soul, and mercy and her fly off into the sunset together to begin a life of bliss and pocket healing Read more
