Just found that out in 2k22 FAQ.
I felt like 2 bucks for 2k20 and 8 dollars for 2k21 were fair fair prices during sale.
That's what I'm going to do with 2k22.
Wait for a sale.

It's disappointing, obviously. I'm not shocked, but I am surprised. I wasn't surprised that NBA 2K21 wasn't Next Gen because that version came out in November with the new consoles, as was the case with NBA 2K14 PS4 and X1 back in 2013. History suggested that it was quite possible, even likely, that NBA 2K22 would be Next Gen as NBA 2K15 had been back in 2014. Clearly, that isn't the case after all.

Although it's obviously a different company, Madden 22 being a Last Gen/Prior Gen port did make me wonder whether Take-Two would follow suit with NBA 2K22, and looking back, it might've prepared me for it. I assume it'll be a PS5/XSX port at some point, but it's a kick in the teeth that PC users will have to wait at least another year.

The real disappointment, or perhaps comfort, will come when the game is released and we see how good it is (or isn't). Honestly, while there was some improvement in NBA 2K21 and I did end up spending more time with the PS5 version, for a game that was supposed to be "built from the ground up", it had a lot of familiar legacy issues. The loading times, the re-vamped MyNBA, and some graphical enhancements were genuinely things that the PC version missed out on by not being a Next Gen port, but I wasn't blown away by NBA 2K21 on PS5 when it came to how the game played and how much I enjoyed it compared to my time with the PC and PS4 versions before it came out. If NBA 2K22 Next Gen likewise basically feels like Prior Gen with a shinier coat of paint, that mitigates the disappointment somewhat; for me, anyway. We'll see.

As was the case last year, the silver lining is that modding tools will likely be compatible or easily adaptable. That is of course countered by the downside that the PC version will not be a priority. Then again, even when PS4 and X1 were the latest consoles, the PC port of that version wasn't a priority for 2K, either. Snark aside, it will be missing out on some benefits being a prior gen port, but it is what it is, for another year at least.

As I said in the other topic, I already play several time consuming games with friends in that little free time I have and with PC not getting a next-gen treatment I just don't have time to get and play the game on launch. The autumn is loaded with interesting games for me (BF2042, FH5, TDU3) already.

I think the main problem is that there will be no change probably gameplay or mods wise as it seems from the description of the game in steam.

I really don't care about the graphics but what's the problem of converting the mods that are in next gen to PC version?

i will not buy again nba2k games until they released a Next Gen on PC i will not accept they're excuses on why they released the Old Gen on PC instead of Next Gen.

And here is 2K Games’ petty excuse about treating PC gamers as second-class citizens:

“This is something [bringing the next-gen version to PC] the team is passionate about and will continue to investigate what is possible for the franchise in the future. For now, the focus was on assuring NBA 2K22 was optimized for the new consoles (PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S), while also making sure the experience remains fresh and innovative for players on other platforms.”

I feel ya.
That's why the last game I did play before 2k20 was nba 2k14.
I'm fine with them doing what they are if that's their plan.
But they aren't getting more than 10 bucks from me in 2-3 years.

0$ for 2k21 on epic games was fair.

According to the latest rumors, PES 2022 will be free to play because the game will be focused on the online mode.
I am not surprised about the strategies that these companies like EA, 2K, etc. are taking. I imagine Sony and Microsoft are putting money on the table. Clearly it is evidence that it is the way to sell more next-gen consoles.

Surely I cannot be the only one thinking this is absolutely disgusting from 2K? Maybe people just aren't as surprised as me. Oh well, unlucky for them.

Disappointing to hear this. I remember how disgraceful NBA Live 07 and 08 were compared to PS3 and X360 releases. In 08 PC there wasn't even a proper roster update.

Apparently like EA did, 2K realized the transactions and online mods make the money most. A kid that would spam money into games, would have a PS5 or X360 sale. I think the lack of a next gen PC also relates to the promotion of consoles.

I am enjoying the next gen experience, I understand the PC as last gen. I love my 2k20 fictional league on PC...working on a fictional roster for Xbox X early 2000s style. Can't wait to try 2k22 but I am pretty happy with these older games....
2013 is the year?
Thanks to Vl@d, Leftos and all the other patchers for their hard work.

pes is not officially dead, in fact they say that there is a next gen version for all platforms in unreal, with crossplay among all, the problem is that if you have a next gen version on pc and you play with a mobile user unreal will climb to the lower version, with the worst quality problem

In fact, them going free to play seemingly forced EA to do the same with FIFA 23.

So, it's not next gen then.
And if i'm wrong, why they don't show us some trailers/pictures for the next gen version?

Konami are professional liars, we still wait for their 3 year plans for the master league.

The trailer we recently saw which has consoles footages, is WORSE than the actual current game (Pes 21) in terms of graphics and gameplay.

The game will be in unreal engine 4, not 5.
Their "next gen" version for next gen consoles will be the same as current gen consoles, with, at best, some better lights.
