Sometimes I boot up 2k, pop open a bottle of wine, take my clothes off and just shoot around with LeBron for hours

Upvote is mostly because there's an option to start the game in offline-only mode without Easy Anticheat, which makes the game load faster and play much more stable than normal. EA's games still force you to load their anticheat before you even get the choice to choose an offline mode. Obviously this doesn't mean anything if you actually care about online, personally I don't (especially not that money-grubbing lootbox mode). But if you just wanna play some basketball without a kernel-level anticheat mucking up your system needlessly, it's a positive feature as far as I'm confirmed.
