    This is the most unrealistic game in 2K history. I’ve been playing 2K since 2k13, and this is by far the worst game yet. You’ll have six foot tall point guards, jumping over Anthony Davis, Giannis and Andre Drummond to get rebounds. Centers with a 29-35 three point rating hitting threes while you’re in their face.

    I literally signed up for a metacritic account just to post about how garbage this game is.

    The gameplay itself is the worst in years. Your AI teammates? Essentially useless and Dumber than a box of rocks. On offence, if you call for a pick, you're lucky if your pick actually works and gives you spacing for the half a second needed to get a shot off. But thats a rare occurrence.

    The gameplay itself is the worst in years. Your AI teammates? Essentially useless and Dumber than a box of rocks. On offence, if you call for a pick, you're lucky if your pick actually works and gives you spacing for the half a second needed to get a shot off. But thats a rare occurrence. What's more likely to happen is that the enemy defender regardless of their players attributes, can slide right over or around your pick. Every. Single. Time. If you try to pass in, there's a 50/50 chance that your pass will get stolen. If it doesn't get stolen, it's useless because post moves get read 100% of the time by the AI. no matter the difficulty, you will always be covered 75-100% of the time in the post. Trying to pass out to an open teammate is also impossible, because your teammates DO NOT MOVE ON THEIR OWN ACCORD. I'm not kidding, they do not run plays or even move unless you stop and don't touch the controller yourself. You'd think that defence would be slightly easier (after all they programmed the enemy AI to play good defence right?) You're sorely mistaken. You're teammates will NEVER SHED THEIR MAN unless you control them yourself. So if the enemy sets a decent pick from the outside, and the ball handler is driving in for a dunk, your PF covering the corner post will just stand and watch as a layup or dunk slams down for 2. It gets so goddamn frustrating seeing AD play the weakest defence ever. When the enemy AI shoots, there's a 50/50 chance that your contesting of the shot won't count. This leads to the AI sinking easy as hell layups on you when you're smothering the hell out of them. This game has no consistency whatsoever. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson miss open 3's CONSTANTLY when they're full bar (slightly early-late) on the shot meter. This would never happened back in 2K15 (the last game I consider to have half decent shooting and defense mechanics). Meanwhile you see no name 2nd and 3rd stringers pulling off 20+ point games because your defense decided to lobotomize themselves that morning. These criticisms have all been strictly gameplay focused and this isn't even touching the rest of the garbage attached to 2k20 like the microtransactions and the casino BS. TL;DR If you want to play the worst basketball game ever invented (until this year of course) play this one. If you wanted to experience what 1v9 basketball is like, play this game.    … Expand

Pass them the ball they chill for 5-15 seconds before moving just to get swarmed or miss a shot that should have would have gone in. Terrible game.

    Il gioco è semplicemente terribile, i comandi sono fatti male, poco intuitivi e non si capisce bene in base a quale logica i tiri siano efficaci o facciano verde. In modalità carriera la valutazione della partita è fatta completamente a caso. In generale il gioco è veramente pessimo, buono solo per una partitella fra amici.

    I play this game solely offline because I just want to play mycareer. Obviously they either don't have any testers or they delibrately make the game worse so you can buy their latest edition. Either way they have made me never want to even consider buying a game from them again.

    Here's a list of things I have experienced just as a mycareer player. From the start 1. Player is    I play this game solely offline because I just want to play mycareer. Obviously they either don't have any testers or they delibrately make the game worse so you can buy their latest edition. Either way they have made me never want to even consider buying a game from them again.

    Here's a list of things I have experienced just as a mycareer player.
    From the start

    1. Player is deaccelerated during fast breaks so AI can come ahead of you.
    2. Player runs into invisible walls that make it difficult to come up the half court.
    3. Awful animations are randomly thrown at you when you drive to the basket wide open. If you want to dunk sometimes you go into a pull up jump shot, or if there is a defender it's like you throw the ball up just so they can block it.
    4. Mismatches don't exist when you are playing offense. An example of this a center is able to keep up with me (a pg) on the perimeter. While my AI center can't post up their PG?
    5. Mismatches DO exist for the computer. Often example of this is I'm constantly posted up and abused by centers in the paint. While my Center who ever that may be cannot defend the perimeter.

    After patches
    6. Double teams are almost constant. The AI tend to overuse this tatic
    7. Even if you don't use turbo you are always slowed down so that the AI can get ahead or catch up
    8. The game constantly gets you into stupid turnovers. Sometimes your own teammates committ these turnovers and its counted as yours. It's hilarously stupid
    9. There are moments that even if you are playing great perimeter defense that the AI will just run through you and score. Makes zero sense
    10. I am constantly pushed out of position on defense by either invisible walls. "Inadvertent" screens by my own teammates or just plain deaccleration of my player so that I cannot make the play. Also jumping to block a shot is fairly nonexistant as a guard because the animation will change your position so that you are either jumping away from the ball or fouling.
    11. My teammate AI over time from when I first bought this game till now has dumbed down significantly. I often get double teamed while my teammates just stand there without moving to the basket. There are some instances when I'm on the fast break when I have someone open and throw an alley oop and they don't jump. (These are players who are known to catch lobs) the AI wants to at least wants me to have one turnover a game. There are also instances where my teammate AI passes up a wide open shot for a more difficult shot just so they can miss.

    There are a ton more but I will just keep it at this. 2K has lost a fan with this edition. 2K18 & 19 had me close to quitting but they finally got me with this edition.

    I'm waiting for NBALIVE to come out with something decent so I can get my basketball fix    … Expand

There is no reason i should be able to hit every open 3 one game and then play like a team of high schoolers the next. OPEN SHOTS SHOULD GO IN!!! And God forbid i try to dunk the ball. If a defender breathes on you it forces you into a layup motion with a shot meter??? When playing on the ball defense it is impossible to stay in front of a ball handler, and even if you do, your teammate will promptly sell you out and leave his man wide open in the corner for 3. Forced animations lead to inconsistency with shots and other timed maneuvers. Passing is one of the most wacked out experiences yet. Without icon passing its completely unpredictable where the ball will go. Youd think it would go to the highlighted player??? But no, it goes to the player who is standing behind a defender playing with his ****. Overall this game is poorly made with very little attention to actual gameplay. I dont even need to mention the b***s*** microtransactions. All i want is consistency. I want to be able to hit THE SAME open shots game to game and not feel like im playing with a totally different player depending on who the algorithm has chosen to win. Crap game and i will not be buying 2k21 unless it goes on a fire sale like 2k19 did or ends up on psplus. 2k has lost a long time customer who has played the game for decades and im sure they dont even care bc theres some young kid with his mom’s CC number that can spend more than you and whoop your ass with his $50 myplayer or $300 myteam.

    MyCareer: The new in-depth build creator was a good addition to the game, but the same microtransactions, the same neighborhood, the same issues and the same forced grind just don't make up for it. The story full of cutscenes is well-done though, but let's be honest: we all skipped it.

    MyTeam: We already know what's wrong in here. You either grind for your life to get new cards and evolve your players, or you just spend a few hundreds of dollars in virtual packs. Overall, too much casino in my basketball game.

    MyLeague/MyGM: These modes have so much potential, and all they add is the ability to play through a WNBA season. Still the best franchise mode out there though, the reason they haven't even touched this mode since NBA2K17.    … Expand

    Worst game they have put out. Defense does not exist. Everyone plays the same cheese way online as well where they know the ai will not pick up the player and slash to an easy dunk or layup. Making changes to your team takes forever and the timer tends to run fast when making changes. Such a horrible game.

Y en el 4 cuarto ninguno de mis compañeros anotaba, mis tiros no sincronizaban y Atlanta metió 6 triples seguidos (4 de young) y terminó ganando, no importa que tan bien hagas el punteo del tiro en defensa, el rival anotara hasta con los pies para que pierdas... como les decía, el juego no valora tu habilidad con el control sino su algoritmo todo preparado para que gastes dinero en comprar boost bajo el nombre de gatorade... en fin.. una basura
    Multijugador peor aún.. no hay emparejamientos justos.. no hay canchas para jugar con gente de tu nivel.. por lo que empezar es súper difícil... además que los jugadores avanzados no jugaran contigo si eres un rookie.

    It is incredibly disheartening to know 2K is willing to lie to their consumers about the product they are releasing. This game shouldn't be on the market.

    Way too unrealistic and inconsistent, one game you could be missing wide open shots with good releases, but the same game you could make slightly contested bad releases shots but make those ones, if 2K21 is the same, I'm staying with Madden even tho it has a lot of flaws, just not as much as 2K.

I usually play my player mode because I really love taking a player and bringing him to glory and I loved how The Show and Chel did it but they were missing the off the field influence. This game has that but my goodness did they ever drag it out. I was constantly holding X to skip crap because it was so time consuming. They should’ve made them special events that impacted your career and not a movie between games. The gameplay is solid for a basketball game but terribly painful for a new player fresh from college. So many easy jumpers missed with the sharpshooter emphasis that it was only possible to score if it was a literal perfect release. I tried so hard to love this game and its mechanics but it is so terrible to get better that I flat out deleted it off my console and returned the game for credits to preorder The Show 21. If you love basketball, this game is phenomenal. But if you love progressing with realistic adjustments, buckle up and be patient, you’ll be here a while.… Expand

    Oh my. This is the single worst sports game I've ever played. And I've played several Maddens, mind you, so I have low standards. I don't play any of the modes involving whatever gambling folks are complaining about, so I won't get into that.

    Where to start? The AI in this game, a rather important aspect I'm sure you'll agree, is so comically bad I have no idea how it shipped at all, and is worse by orders of magnitude than anything even Madden has ever produced. You'll play indie iOS games with better AI. Don't believe me? Just watch a replay, any replay of any possession of your choice. The players are absolutely brain dead. They will routinely forget where they are, or simply step aside meekly as opposing players approach, or wander off drunkenly, or run away from the ball on some unknown errand, or slide around in a kind of spastic freak-out. This is only one of NBA 2K's bizarre issues. Under the rim, the game is entirely, and I don't use the word lightly, broken. Any and all players, 7 foot centers included, if there is any player near them, will halt their own progress to attempt hilarious reverse layups or globetrotter-ish nonsense and miss every time. Similarly, dead eye three point shooters have next to no chance of making shots if they are contested. I watch as much basketball as the next person, and I'm pretty sure there is no magic lid on the basket if your shot attempt was challenged by a defender. This is of course because NBA 2k's shot contest system is incredibly lazy and poorly conceived from the start. There is no factoring of ball physics, trajectory or leverage etc. (i.e. the actual shooting of a shot), everything is instead determined by a dice roll and shot contest %, leading to a set of canned animations as outcomes. Play this game for a few hours and these rolls become quite transparent, which is, when you think about it, an embarrassing place to wind up after 20 years.
    What's interesting is that NBA 2k has a lot of frills. It far surpasses other sports games in presentation, is certainly superior to Madden in GM depth for myleague etc., and it looks excellent. None of this matters though when the gameplay is so completely, irrevocably awful.
    I would be included to say that I am stunned that a developer that continues to put out such rubbish retains their official license, let alone one that has had 20 years to improve. But then look around, these yearly sports titles with exclusive licenses are simply cash cows that spit shine the same garbage year after year. It's just that even relative to its sports game competitors, NBA 2k and especially 2k20 does a pretty laughable job of concealing its contempt for its audience.    … Expand

    When I finally create an account I jump on MyCareer. Before you play any game you need to sit through about 10 cut-scenes, each of which has to be skipped separately. Then at the end of each game the 2K server times out and I get sent back to the home screen and then I have to go back into MyCareer mode. All this means is for about 10 minutes worth of gameplay there is 20 minutes of **** to work through. Definitely not worth it.
    Had similar connection issues with MyTeam mode. Then add on top of that the casino crap and the fact that everything is a grind to get anywhere its just not worth the hassle.
    The only mode I found enjoyable was the quickplay mode but even then there are way too many pointless cut-scenes like the halftime shows, timeouts, etc that take too long to skip. Half the time I am just mashing X to try to get back to playing the game.

    Game is garbage, gameplay sucks, broken animations, terrible MyCareer, MyLeague is the best mode. This game has no innovation and it is probably one of the worst games I’ve played. Wouldn’t recommend this to anybody that wants to keep their sanity.

    less and less realistic throughout the years. Monopoly in the basketball gaming market made this **** any reasonable human being can see the corruption of 2K. Damn man, I used to love your game. Batches create unrealistic basketball experience, sorry there's too many to diss, If you play basketball in real life you damn sure knows what I mean once you play this game. 2K pay some effort pls.

    O jogo têm um modo online extremamente desbalanceado, onde quem gasta mais dinheiro sempre ganha

    NBA 2K20 is the worst NBA game series ever. It has too many problems wtih shoots, fundamental moves, fade away, off dribble shots and so on. All are terrible. I have been playing this 2K series since 2006 (NBA2K6) and i played all series on each year but believe me guys 2K20 is the worst. I’ve been still playing 2K19 which is the best ever.

    Terrible game, the driving layup animations look like they about to be blocked, but dont and Big men are 1 dimensional. if you are trying to get to a 99 from a 95, if you lose a game its -.1, foul out or quit, -.3, win the game with an A+ teammate grade, blow out and you can still lose a rep. Win a game in the park, no rep, same happens in Mycareer, UNLESS YOU PLAY PERRRFECT like 0Terrible game, the driving layup animations look like they about to be blocked, but dont and Big men are 1 dimensional. if you are trying to get to a 99 from a 95, if you lose a game its -.1, foul out or quit, -.3, win the game with an A+ teammate grade, blow out and you can still lose a rep.

Then if you can get to 99, lose a game with ya friends or by yourself in mycareer and you gotta go back go mycareer to get ya rep back and who knows how long it will take, and any loss or bad performance in mycareer undoes any grind you do. I won rush 1v1 competition and got 0 rep playing 4 games of it. Went back to play again, first game I lost, got -.1, but the first 6 wins gave 0 credit. THIS IS THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PURCHASED IN MY LIFE. WHATS THE POINT OF SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS RIGGED FOR YOU TO SPEND MORE MONEY. I WISH I CAN GET A REFUND ON DOWNLOADED GAMES… Expand

    1/10. not 0/10 because my league (which has been the same for years) is still very well made and is non stop enjoyment. However I DID NOT buy the game on launch to play one single mode. My career is horrible, story as usual sounds like a 5 year old made it. Graphics outside of single player are so bad it is funny, Multiplayer gameplay is a joke. The neighborhood is absolute garbage.

The badge system is broken filled with game breaking badges. All the game is micro transactions. Pay to win in park, or My Team. No way to grind for cards or MT in any enjoyable way without paying for VC, unlike Madden's Ultimate Team. Embarrassing game, very lazy, no love put it. Sad money grab as usual.… Expand

    This game is an absolute disappointment and 2K should be embarrassed for the amount of glitches and terrible gameplay within the game. You can shoot very early or very late on mid ranges and make it, you can get the ball poked free even with the highest ball handle and unpluckable, and worst of all, hop steps are one of the most broken game mechanics I’ve ever seen.

In the final game I’ve played on 2k20 I played a pure slasher who managed to make a mid range, very early and 33% contested and made it. I had to just turn my console off after that one. Never again am I playing this game or this franchise. This is definitely the second worst 2k behind 2k18. But I honestly enjoyed 2k18 gameplay more. Disappointing… Expand

    NBA 2K20 isn't the most groundbreaking opus in the IP, but it's still a must-have for all the basketball fans out there.

    Visual Concepts’ tireless scouting for new stuff hasn’t affected its immaculate eye for detail. [Issue#168, p.78]

    NBA 2K20 includes fewer innovations than a "copy/paste club", yet manages to still play and feel pretty great. Gambling and microtransactions involved are becoming more and more toxic with each year tho.
