2K states the unskippable advertisements contained in NBA 2K were executed in a way that the publisher"did not intend," and that the mistake"will be repaired." In NBA 2K MT a statement on Twitter, the company addressed backlash to the way commercials were included in its latest release. Before this week, players observed that an unskippable advert for the Oculus Quest 2 ahead of an in-game video. That advert seemed to run through a loading screen, but had been exactly the exact same length even when running with an SSD to a PC (via Stevivor). Participants hailed 2K for the advert, with many imagining that it was appearing in a full-priced title.

In reaction, 2K educated players that adverts"have been integrated into 2KTV sections" for a couple of decades, but said that"yesterday's 2KTV advertisement placement influenced our players' experience in a way we did not intend, because these advertisements are not meant to operate as part of the pre-game launch" As a result, the problem"will be fixed in future episodes," although there is no word on exactly when the change will be implemented. It will not sound like the adverts will truly be going away. 2K points out they've been set up for a while already, and that the problem here appears to be in which the ad showed up, not the simple fact that it was there in the first location. Hopefully the placements will probably be subtle in future, but it looks like in-game adverts are set to become part of the NBA 2K matches for a while yet.

That functionality seems like its own worthy of a Pink Diamond, at least. On the next half of Cheap MT 2K21 a back-to-back, Jordan had 64 points, but the Bulls lost the match in 128-124.
