Lol, 2k man.
Although this is the first year I haven't bought 2k since 2k7, but it's just because the game feels like it has been getting worse since like 2k15 and I've found myself playing it less and less.
Even then, 2k is infinitely better than Live still. I played Live from 02 to 06 and it was good, but it soon went to crap and hasn't been good since. But if you find someone that still enjoys Live, I'd be genuinely curious as to how/why.
