    I recently bought this at a sale. Expected chilling game for playing in the background of the real NBA games (NBA will return soon), received terrible microtransaction experience. Mycareer mode unplayble - grinding machine. I don know why I have to unlock some basic features in MyLeague features like trade finder. Yes. You can do this without VC points later, but it hurts the whole game.I recently bought this at a sale.

Back to the mycareer mode - it`s broken. I expected to have more control on player creation. Basicly you have only few presets for your player at the start. Development of the player is broken AF. You dont have any control on how often to practice, what coach to choose like in real life. There are so many thing that could be better in that mode it is even hard to put here. All effort they put to create story behind it. It is useless becouse after a while you skip it anyway.… Expand

    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.
