Remember the unbelievable sale last week<\/a> for NBA 2K19<\/a><\/strong> on the North American eShop and multiple other digital platforms? The game received a limited-time 95 percent discount, taking it from the regular price of $59.99 all the way down to just $2.99. Even people who don’t play sports games on a regular basis found this deal hard to pass up.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, though, some of these new players got quite the shock when they were seemingly forced to watch “unskippable ads<\/a>” in their paid<\/em> game before each session. Sure enough, It led to immediate outrage and a lot of confusion online. Although these 2K TV advertisements are being reported elsewhere as a new addition to the game, this is apparently not the case.<\/p>\n

According to veteran ballers, these in-game video ads are nothing new<\/a> and can be disabled in the game’s settings menu. Reddit user Totalnoob18 cleared things up over on the Xbox One subreddit<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“You can turn off 2k tv in the setting. Wont gonna get the ads, nor that [removed] tv before games.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Reddit user on the PC Gaming subreddit<\/a> known as iHicham added to this:<\/p>\n

\n

“yeah those ads aren’t new at all”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Eventually, this information spread to multiple subreddits \u2013 including the Nintendo Switch<\/a> one. While it’s still a questionable practice for developers and publishers to insert video advertisements within paid games, it’s now at least clear new players can disable the 2K TV in the settings menu.<\/p>\n
