NBA 2K22 was released yesterday via PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One. Like the previous one NBA 2K games, 2K22 features The City, a great online open world mode that allows players to walk around, play basketball, shop in stores and … Uh … I guess they stay with Jake from State Farm.
NBA 2K22 has a race mode, which allows players to create their own basketball-loving character who can then move through a story, working their way up the ladder to the NBA and finally into famous NBA superstars . The City is an online hub which allows you to take your created character out of the yard and into an open world city full of different buildings, activities and content to explore. It is also, like the rest of any modern NBA 2K game, full of microtransactions and ads.
But this year, NBA 2K22 it really intensified his game in introducing elements of capitalism from the final phase to experience. NBA 2K22 has a digital Jake of State Farm. This “character” has appeared in numerous State Farm commercials, and because most of us spend hours of our days bombarded with thousands of ads, most of you will recognize Jake from State Farm.
We are really on the darkest timeline.
Capybaroness on Twitter she was one of the first people to share a clip of Jake and offered this brief but accurate description of the encounter: “Christ.”

Jake is not only in the game, but is outside the State Farm brand clothing and merchandise store. And yes, you can get “drip” from State Farm. And also, yes, it looks terrible, as they prove Capiars in a follow-up tweet.
In the video, your created character meets Jake from State Farm and, instead of shaking his head, perhaps sighing and advancing like most humans, they cool off and talk to the digitally made marketing character. Seeing your character “have fun” with Jake from State Farm, even getting excited when he says the famous State Farm slogan would make me want to never play with this character again.
It is not uncommon to see this NBA 2K22 attaches an insurance ad character to the game. This is a series that you already have it had tons of shitty microtransactions in the past and has also incorporated literal slot machines i ads that can’t be skipped in previous posts. So for sure, launch a digital avatar based on a character from some ads. Why not?! I hope Flo and the lizard Geico show up at next year’s game.
According to my sources (people who play this game), it also includes basketball this year. I think.
