During the offseason, basketball buffs take advantage of the NBA 2K to experience the game. The $700 million company that produces it has sought to increase its sales this year. A few days ago, the video game sensation revealed a brilliant update honoring late legend Kobe Bryant. In an attempt to make full use of another off-season, they have now roped in Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal to share a new update for the upcoming release.

While a few users recognized the former NBA superstar’s acting, many ignored him to vent their honest criticism about the game.

NBA 2K’s new update by Shaquille O’Neal

The 24-year-old video game is still played by fans from all over the world. The never-ending urge for the game has created an impact that will surely continue for years to come. Continuous updates have made it even more addictive for the fans.

Owned by a $24.19 billion company Take-Two Software, NBA 2K had 4-time champion Shaq roped in for a collab. ‘Crossplay, which is a famous term for gamers, is a recent improvement, but which several other games had already brought in.

Cross-play enables gamers using different platforms for the video game to play together. This is indeed a revolution for video games. However, it has been nearly six years since cross-play started taking over. This delay from the million-dollar company might be costly for them.

Anyhow, Big Diesel has done his part. It’s safe to say the multi-talented NBA legend is an actor now, with multiple Hollywood productions also under his belt. The 2k brought out its much-known creative side with a skit for the update. The 2000 MVP showed his creative side too!
