    not really worth playing on pc.
    the controls are bad on pc the same as all the other sports games.
    they are meant to be played on a console.
    the game is pretty boring. there is not much good about this game.
    stopped playing it after 20 minutes because it was so boring

    Really bad in the way it is poorly optimized. MANY MANY ISSUES WITH HACKING ONLINE AND NO REPORT SYSTEM - IT'S ESSENTIALLY A FEE FOR ALL. TERRIBLE

    Full of unskippable ads. This is not a game. You cant call it that. It is plain cash grab with useless content. There is almost no basketball in here. Unskippable ads.... of the game... which is not live. Do not buy. Buying multipla is a better choice than this game.

    Why do they make these garbage games? Some idiots somewhere are paying full price for this trash. The only good things in this game is the 3D models and textures. That's it.

    They just never listen to their customers, never. Everyone have asked them to fix and upgrade the server, instead they only focus on launching new card on MyTeam and make money, and yea, they do make lot of money from that, but they return nothing to their customers at all. NOT AT ALL

    I love basketball and I love playing basketball videogames. NBA 2K unfortunately has monopoly for NBA (because EA are impotent with their Live). 2K therefore can freely use shady practices without any consequences when it comes to treating their customers.

    My point being, 2K significantly lowered VC earnings for My Career contracts without mentioning it. About two months after release. I played game for some time, making moderate progress (it felt better than previous releases, so there was a ray of light that maybe...). And one day you find out they stick it to you. You are back to gulag.

    The game is chore, it is not fun when you dont make progress. I am not hardcore player, I can not dedicate 8 hours a day to a video game. For me this feel like backstab of filthy thief in back alley.

    I dont complain about gameplay, I actually like it. The slow pace of progress diminishes what I find entertaining in actual gameplay. As I stated before, this game (My Career) is chore, it is slaving in quarry, it is gulag. I can not afford and will not pay for VC, ever.

    I dont recommend this game if you are not willing to hand out (lots of) money after your initial purchase.

    I am disappointed.    … Expand

    2K really outdone themself this time. Unfortunately, as much negative reviews, there'll be player with 600+ hours... I was like that on 2k19, but since 2k17 I promised to myself if the game didn't get better about micro transactions, servers and cheaters, I wouldn't buy anymore... 2 years I failed this promise, not anymore.

    I would not recommend this title to the casual fan. Some issues I had during the initial MyCareer included having to minimize the game window and maximize it in order to proceed through cut scenes, and the fact that the initial games are no where close to the actual experience once you jump into the actual Career mode.

Some issues I had during the initial MyCareer included having to minimize the game window and maximize it in order to proceed through cut scenes, and the fact that the initial games are no where close to the actual experience once you jump into the actual Career mode. My character was too slow and Clunky to keep up with the All-stars the game required me to block, and wanting to run the floor as a slasher is incredibly hard considering the defense will always brick wall you at the half court line. If you want to drive to the basket you can forget about shooting anything else; 3-pt, mid-range, close shots were all under 60 points and unless you are acclimated to extremely slow shot timings, you'll get no sympathy from the shot meter, or animation. I had to put the game down after a game with the Lakers that pitted my guy against Kuzma and James, I was fouled over 30 times (couple at the 3 line) due to the tight defense that was being played, and I could free up any space to shoot, ultimately sinking 3 layups out of 24 shots. Even when I was so slightly early or late, my player would air ball close range shots like he was throwing jump-balls. The only positive I had during this game was the fact that I was able to sink 21 of my numerous free throws, which resulted in an interview that commented about my career high points (but did you see those air balls). In all, if you have the dough ($$$) to spend on bolstering your overall maybe you could do something decent, but if you're trying to grind away like me prepare for a slog. Progression on the badges was also slow, which I could understand if they weren't so critical to my player not picking up the ball after only three steps toward the basket. The 2 hr limit on returns in Steam really ruined my day on this one (game-play gets covered up behind a >2-hr career mode that doesn't represent actual difficulty).… Expand

    Since 2k18, 2k gave up on PC. Absolutely no optimisation, no adjusments. Still no prelude, nothing. They changed the blacktop court every year since they have that game mode. But the blue ugly one is still here for 4th straight year. That's how lazy they got.

    This has quite possibly been the worst game to come out on PC. And i played No Man's Sky shortly after launch. It is an incomplete skin over NBA 2k19. This is a $5 DLC for the previous game. A better title would be "NBA 2k19: Graphics and UI Update."

    This is an early access game. Wait at least 3 months before buying it. It should have a mature/adult rating because MTX in this game are a perfect example of real life gambling.

    Gambling Simulator 2k20. If you want to gabble with real money in casino style you might like it, but for people who want this to be a basketball game, THIS IS NOT THAT.

    NBA 2K20 makes a few missteps in several modes and the gameplay is pretty much the same as before, but it’s still a reigning champion in its genre.

    NBA 2K20 feels like a turning point for 2K, and not in the right way. The publisher got too greedy, and it's going to show, in the next year's earnings. It's actually detracting from a good game, turning into a casino experience. What makes it worse, is that there's literally a roulette wheel implemented, which only underlines what 2K had in mind. It's a shame, become the highlight of the NBA 2K20, like the addition of the WNBA, the improved ball control, and the multitude of other smaller changes are buried under a pile of microtransactions that make people wonder what they are actually playing. The only mode that seems to have escaped, somewhat, the microtransactions plague, is the story, which is almost good enough to keep the game upright by itself. But it's almost good enough.

    Even if you just want to play a basketball game and you are frightened by the NBA 2K's hardcore character with its irreconcilable gameplay or if you are still averse to microtransactions, you have no alternative. Until next year's 2K21 of course.
