Re: NBA 2k21

This is exactly my situation. I spent way too long playing 2k20 last year. I hopped on 2k21 right when it dropped on stadia, at full price. I never really did much with it, kind of waiting for the '21 season to begin, which it has. I started to check back in on my NBA 2k21.

Now, when I go to try to start a season with the current rosters, the option is greyed out and says unavailable as if the season hasn't started. I wondered if there was something wrong with my local copy and it wasn't getting updated (maybe cached? it says latest update in Sept 2020?) so I contacted Stadia support. Stadia support says- not our problem, talk to 2k. /shrug.

It's pretty frustrating to hop on these supposed big name titles early at full price. Especially to later discover these games ended up either completed comped or heavily discounted on the pro list. I totally get the business strategy here- cost differentiation so you get a few folks who pay a bunch up front before discounting it so the masses can get it, but the Stadia implementation of this practice sucks for the recipient. It feels like the game you spent $60 on is $10 the next week. I sort of exaggerate, but so far, this feels like a pretty bad version for the customer.

There has to be a better way... Especially when there's essentially a stalemate with the developer/producer of the game. IMO- the biggest problem here is that nobody has ANY information and no-one is taking any sort of responsibility for solving that problem. While none of us are happy to wait, having a definitive update timeline/strategy would at least let us understand if we should keep holding out for an update or if we're better off finding an Xbox/PS.
