Killing the NBA seemed like the most appropriate way for me to do that. I wanted to say goodbye to an unprecedented run of games, and to an Xbox 360 I will likely never play again. Their last great game of this era was the NBA 2K14 they designed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. NBA 2K14 for the next-gen consoles, while beautiful, was a shallow, broken disaster. They did all this without leaving many glitches or oversights to exploit.ĢK Sports will surely make more outstanding NBA games in the future, but the four-year streak of near-flawless gaming has been broken. It's visually gorgeous, its gameplay is exceptionally smooth, and playing the decades-long Association mode feels like building a civilization. It's an extraordinarily well-designed game: it's far more realistic than video games tend to be, and yet it remains somewhat accessible. The truth is this: the creators of 2K Sports have spent the last four years evolving their games into the greatest sports games of all time.

We have limited tools at our disposal to simulate what, exactly, this end could look like.īy any means or definition we can achieve, killing the NBA is the mission of this season finale of NBA Y2K, a series that was initially meant to run far longer than five episodes. It's hard to imagine when the last NBA season would be, or why there would be a last season, and it we know with virtual certainty that the NBA will not last beyond the destruction of the Earth, the death of our Sun, and the likely eventual heat death of the universe. Nobody seems to know what he's talking about. When they dig a man from the 1990s out of cryogenic stasis and bring him aboard, he asks if he can watch an Atlanta Braves game.
Basketball is never mentioned, and sports in their present form are completely absent. Star Trek: The Next Generation take place in the 2360s.
