The last couple of days have seen 2K Games mired in backlash due to unskippable advertisements popping up in NBA 2K21 post-launch. Players were specifically encountering an ad across all platforms in “MyTEAM Season 2, Episode 7. This ad, quite conveniently, posts an image of Lindsey Vonn, the track and field star ranked number one in the world right now.

That image above was accompanied by the site loading secondary text (in this case, 'Nike Air Force One') next to it, suggesting accidental unwanted exposure. And that's when things got admittedly ridiculous in microcosm. Loading way back into my post, this message appeared. Keep scrolling for a full to-the-point view of it.

Unfortunately the ad was squeezed off-screen, but earlier reports had picked up a conversation, via Twitter, between 2K Sports and Switch owners pointing to the "Unskippable ad Stubhub" indicated appearing, via an overlay previously unclear to owners, in that game's NBA 2K21 game-play menus. Now, expect further forays into the scene should it remain unruffled.

Okay first I would like to say this series is fantastic but I have to say I do not agree with all the things in this manga and there are a lot that are wrong and even I may even not like some of it but to find out that it is your editor completing you in your reviews is more than a little unacceptable I know you're made out to be a highly intelligent person but our main character is a kindergartener like most manga's are. Your tendency to give feelz to your characters with words don't help his feelings of parsimony and lot's of morals that feel counter to what I see and at times completely wrong coming out without ever having a thought of asking them, To me one of the things that makes this series great it shows how mature people can be but you can never define true maturity unless you can actually examine your own behaviour at home and make your own rules and morals I'd think for an adult you'd think before agreeing with your editor on the full width of her moralising guesses and thumbs up for winners 91% 62mil definition of that point sample does little to help here please be in the right here,

"Dad didn't have the moral high ground here" This is second thing that bothers me her uses of
