    PARENTS BEWARE!

    This game appears to be an innocent basketball game on the surface but tricks people into spending real money on its shameless in game microtransaction system. There is several casino style gambling elements in the game that use psychological manipulation to make it seem like you can win a player. This preys upon younger players because they will think that they are    PARENTS BEWARE!

    This game appears to be an innocent basketball game on the surface but tricks people into spending real money on its shameless in game microtransaction system. There is several casino style gambling elements in the game that use psychological manipulation to make it seem like you can win a player. This preys upon younger players because they will think that they are winning and will start to pay more and more to get a player, which mind you is totally random and you always get a random player.

    The game itself (The non casino gambling elements) are fine and its the same ol 2K basketball with new rosters, But I cant in any good semblance recommend this to anyone especially not younger gamers. They trick you into wanting to gamble in this game. Ive watched one of my favorite franchises turn into a laughing stock that's getting ridiculed by everyone because of their greed. I mean they are after all called "Take 2" and they take 2 of everything because one payment of $60 wasn't enough. RIP sports games and the future of AAA gaming, it was a nice run.    … Expand

    Putting a casino system into a sports game is a disgrace! I can't believe this game received PG3 rating. It is just a cheap attempt to get more money from people!

    A casino game with a basketball mini game? and 3 year old children can play it? so, you're introducing gambling at a very early age, that's the way the industry works now. RIP AAA games. I hope you 2K Games go bankrupt and all your shareholders and executives rot in jail, life sentence for all of you! You're even worse than EA, that's just unbelievable, this is a new low!

    This is one of the worst examples of greed in the gaming industry. Do NOT buy this game, this has to stop and we stop it by showing companies we are not going to spend money on a casino game dressed up as a basketball game. The sad thing is; this used to be such a great franchise. What a shame.

    Would not be surprised if this game is used as a case in court for why regulation is needed when it comes to microtransactions. If you pay 60 dollars for a game you should not have to pay hundreds more to be actually able to play the game the way it should be played. Totally disgusting case of corporate greed and lack of morales.

    I literally cannot find a single positive in this game, it is all negative. I got my Steam refund going after 60 minutes. I got this just to play single player but the game is the same as it has been since 2K16. Every year they just slow it down like I am running underwater and it is just flat out, not fun to play, even for single player.

    - Literally looks like a casino this year

    - PC optimization is awfui (FPS between 60 - 240 on a 2080 TI capped at 165)
    - They just don't care anymore, and neither do I.

    Stay away from this game, especially on PC. Do not buy this for your kids, if you do, find a way to block them from using your credit card online. This is not a basketball game anymore, it is casino simulator, with hints of a basketball game that was released in 2015 and provides a roster update. Waste of time and money, well done 2K.    … Expand

    The game is unplayable in its current state, as well as it being a hotspot for underage gambling makes this game unworthy of the title of 'game'

    You have to understand that 2K is the epitome of a soulless, late-stage capitalism company and their game entirely reflects that fact. If you take that into account regarding every single aspect of the game then you will never be surprised by anything you may come to encounter in NBA 2K20. If you love or even just like the game of basketball DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

    Disgusting slot machine. This devolution of games must be stopped immediately. Still it is not much of e review bombing since the gameplay itself is absolutely identical to last years edition. Therefore this game actually deserves 0 and morally maybe even negative one...

    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.
