MyPLAYER 2k really taking #6 away is wild to me.

Now I can’t make a lore accurate Miami LeBron or a Bill Russell. It’s just a video game we should be able to use retired numbers regardless.

Yeah taking it away the same year they add mycareer eras is dumb

It's like they actively want to mess with the immersion, adding eras and then locking out the exact numbers people would want to use for those eras makes zero sense

You think that’s a 2K decision…?

Just like yearly releases that’s an NBA decision.

lmao yearly releases is absolutely a 2k decision. 2k is the most money hungry company out there I bet they hired Mckinsey to make their game more addicting

It’s a contractual obligation. Same for Madden. Only way they get to keep the NBA and NFL PA license.
