It doesn't help that this year's entry is actually missing features, as well.

The main feature this game is missing is an actual development team.

Yuke's has been making the games for about 20 years, and they finally got tired of dealing with 2K's bullshit and left the company. So the NBA2k team got thrown onto the job instead, and they were working with an engine they didn't really know how to use. Which is a large part of why this wound up being such a total shitshow.

As someone mentioned, it's like the equivalent of moving out of your house, leaving all of your stuff behind, and then the person who moves in after you has to keep and use all your stuff. So it will take them a while to figure out where you keep everything, how all your appliances work, and how to do things.

It also doesn't really help that the only thing 2K actually cares about is how effectively any given game can be used as a platform to dispense microtransactions, at the expense of actual gameplay and enjoyment.

On the plus side, there are at least some hints that Yuke's might be going to work on an AEW game soon, and will be deliberately using No Mercy as inspiration for what sort of game they want it to be. So that should be a win all around.
