 So what I want to do here is I want to show you the size of my NBA 2k 18 now I need to know a couple things here for starters right now. It says 36.6 gigabytes This is insane to me because I've been playing this game since launch Of the digital version without any need for 36.6 This literally was 26 gigabytes before I started this update So that means right now. I am downloading a 10.6 gigabyte update in fact Let me show you that I'm downloading it if you look at it. Look at it. There it is. It's downloading right now and We're just gonna sit here and watch this download for a little bit Or maybe for the entirety of this just to show a ridiculous this is This was never noted to us back when the game came out that there was gonna be an update this large And why is this update coming out? What even is this update? That's a very good question So let's see if we can figure out by looking at what this giant update that was not needed until the physical version came Out is that's leading to things like a 24 gigabyte download. So here's what I found There is a patch or at least was a patch I assume this is the patch if that I'll find out once the version number updates here because guys not gonna update before I'm done recording Patch 1.04. It's a humongous update and address this gameplay cap neighborhood and more I I'm using the 32 gigabyte internal storage card figure that was enough I could throw all the patches and updates on the internal stuff and right now my internal is about to get completely Maxed out with this update. So if a future update comes out, that's just as big. I'm screwed I had to completely uninstall the game and buy a new micro SD card so let's just get into the patch notes here and Again, this patch was said it was coming soon. This is reported like days ago Now it's apparently here It says so in general the classic edition uniforms of the Bucks Hornets Lakers and Sons have been added to the game Look for these to be released in the next roster update interesting So they're adding Uniforms in this patch that isn't part of a roster update. So they're already in the game. So why can't we just have them? All right, five new shoes have been added to the game I won't go over all of those and Again, it says to be released in the next roster update again They're adding content to the game that's locked behind a roster update. I don't get this Improvements of the caps us a lab user interface new cap facial hair 18 new beards two mustaches introducing eight facial stub Styles that can be mixed in match with various hairstyles a whole bunch of stuff here Fixes to the pro amp fixes to my team my you know my GM my league a whole bunch of a bunch of fixes In fact, I'm actually interested I'm gonna go through the my league stuff because I'm actually curious if they fixed the one bug I always ran into satisfy a popular community across the NBA logo has been removed from the created uniform template Oh, cool. The CPU will no longer override user-made decisions CPU teams will not be more conscious of when they should renounce the rights to their players in the off-season Fixed a hang that would occur for some users when they were signed into a player Fixed a soft hang during the draft and Okay. All right. I actually I experienced that bug one time But it's not something it doesn't only happen once I didn't think much of it addressed a fantasy draft issue Where certain players were being incorrectly omitted from the selected player blue fixed a case where incorrect determining that the user was trying to maintain the rights to too many draft and stash players Addressed a case where the draft and stash player would appear in the G. Lee roster Trying to sign the contract and turn a fine corrected issue that would lead to inability to load your my GM file That's a big bug. I haven't had that happen to me, but I've seen other people it's happened to For those affected by this your save will now properly load that's huge So you can get your save back baskets will now account for the correct amount of points So when the league approves the rule change that grants automatic points to be granted on shooting follows. That's awesome Um, that doesn't actually exist in the NBA But anyways attendance will no longer show zero percent for playoff games and a financial information menu That would suck yet. No one attended your playoff game Many other bug fixes and Justin were also made game-wide It goes over just a handful of more adjustments. So it's a big update I'm not gonna sit there and say like this is a huge update The fact that they had so much stuff to fix let's you know how buggy this game was at launch How much it did not get the proper quality testing it needed before it went out But even despite all that even going through all of this stuff a 10.6 gigabyte update. Are you kidding me? I played NBA 2k 17 and never once experienced a 10.6 gigabyte update I think the biggest update was like a two point something gigabyte update And I was actually prepared to have maybe 10 gigabytes total for the entire season including roster updates and all that But we're talking 10.6 gigabytes the same day the switch physical version releases, which cannot be a coincidence Especially now that we have an updated download You know 24 gigabyte download statement on the north american version Which wasn't present on the european version because they probably sent those out before they realized they were gonna have this update I I'm just at a loss for words right now I don't know what they are doing and on top of this now. We know obviously WWE 2k 18 is probably going to require a micro sd card as well We know that that the file size on that is like 36 gigabytes right now Granite they're just talking about the digital version They have not confirmed the physical version will need a micro sd card But if mba 2k 18 does you can almost assuredly bet that wwe 2k 18 will as well and for all the flak that I gave Uh, 2k over this decision about not using the bigger cards and requiring these downloads I man 10.6 gigabyte update that i'm still downloading not even halfway through as i'm recording this I This is just insane to me That they're getting away with this right now if this is what's going to happen I might have to buy a 200 plus gig SD card micro sd card Just to play mba 2k 18 because i'm going to need that one of space for the dang updates This could be a 200 gigabyte game. No, I don't think they're actually going to have a zillion 10 gigabyte updates I know i'm over exaggerating, but i'm doing it to make a point At 10.6 gigabyte update should be unacceptable. There's a reason that nintendo has has a file size limits on updates and while some games Uh, I understand like you basically are redownloading the whole game But when you do that it usually replaces the file you have so you don't end up with a file That's twice the size right when you guys when you finally got the update to go through for mba playgrounds and you downloaded What was almost an essentially brand new mba playgrounds game it replaced the file That you originally have for mba playgrounds. So you went from like seven gigs down to four gigs on mba playgrounds So yes, you needed that four gigs free with the seven gigs initially, but once it downloaded it replaced that file Uh, that's not happening here From what I have seen from people reporting what we're now seeing on box art It's going to be 36.6 gigs and it's going to keep getting bigger from there Uh, we thought we could give all the props in the world for cutting the size of this game to what they did on switch Because it it is like 50 gigs or whatever on other systems But it sounds like if this keeps going we're going to end up getting up the 50 gigs or more ourselves on switch Which is just unacceptable for a game that runs at 720p So you're not even running full 1080p assets and for a game that's got the setting style back the way it is They don't need the super highest quality assets possible here on this game So i'm just i'm at a loss for words that they're they released a patch today That is Almost half the size of the game that we had installed anyways, and it's not optional I'm required to download it if you have the digital version. No idea if it's required for physical I'm just oh man I'm irate I'm irate because for all all the praise i've given mba 2k 18 And the devs behind what they've done and all the flak i've given it as well for being disappointed with the final product I'm i still play this a lot. It is one of my most played games on switch And to see this treatment to see this this mistreatment really Of switch users by thinking that a 10.6 gigabyte update is acceptable And i'm not just saying this because I only have a 32 gigabyte card in my system I can go I can get a bigger micro sd card. That's not the problem. It's I shouldn't need one Literally, I mean, that's let's just glance at this Let's go back and look at the storage situation quick So when you go into my data management and you go to my managed software You'll see now. Look at that. Look how much space I have a 32 gigabyte micro sd card and then I have all that internal memory space Look how much of that is taken up by mba 2k 18 The closest is platoon 2 and you got double dragon and I understand this is a AAA third party game So it's going to be big and some of this comes after the decision that they did not include Or give us a big enough physical card, but this is I i'm just a loss loss for words. I mean Look at that. So here we go 22.9 gigabytes was the original file. You could see that right there So you see that there's 13.6 on the switch So the 22.9 gigs was the original download file for mba 2k 18 So when it launched it was 23 gigabytes essentially and then there was a little bit, you know, like five gigs I think set aside on my system memory for save files and now 13.6. This is just This is ridiculous. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Maybe I'm blowing the sort of proportion. Maybe you guys don't think it's a big deal but I Sincerely, I'm worried author and and I understand that cartridges and limited space and you can blame Nintendo Realities of AAA gaming it's going to be huge file sizes blah blah blah blah blah And maybe I should be mad at Nintendo For not allowing these the higher sized carts But I'm sorry. This is an update. This game was running perfectly fine At 26 gigs this update. I wonder how many users out there had 32 gigabyte carts like me Are gonna not be able to download this update and not be able to play mba 2k 18 until they go spend more money And on top of this they have press releases for the physical version that said oh It's going to be to be about 15 gigabytes for download. Now. Imagine you go buy the physical version in final No, it's not 15. It's 24. Oh man They're really duping us 2k. I was trying to give you lots of props earlier this year over giving us a more complete game That's at a higher visual quality than say FIFA 18 and EA, but you know what? You're really undercutting things here and making me question Whether or not it's worth you bringing 2k 19 to the platform And I'm not saying that there aren't people that aren't gonna want it. I'm gonna want mba 2k 19 But this you can't be doing this you can't be breaking Like we have limited space you can't do this and I understand I should be mad at Nintendo for that limited space And I am but Come on At least You know Maybe this could have been prevented if they would at least warned us if they have warned us that this patch this 1.04 patch Was going to be 10 gigs if they had given us weeks worth of warning Which they had to have had to put it on the box In north america anyways folks Let me know what you think about this whole thing down in the comments below I promise I don't just want to talk about mba 2k 18 all the time But they're not really giving me much of a choice I am Nathaniel Ruffalojans from nintendo prime If you like this video, you know what to do And if you disliked the video hit that dislike button Subscribe for more content and I will catch you in the next one
