    I have fun playing in the park and sometimes rec centre with friends however extremely pay to win and basically requires you to pay atleast 30 pounds or so to get your pro to a high enough rating to be competitive, basically looks like simulated gambling at times in my team etc . My career stories get very stale aswell.

    This is the first NBA game I have played. Developers found a way to suck all the life and fun out of the game. Micro transactions are the worst I’ve ever seen. Luckily I DL for free on PS+. I hate the sport game franchises because every idiot sports fan blindly pay for this crap and continually give these greedy developers more money.

    Just a bad game. Each time I play it it makes me so angry I could kill someone. **** loading screens all the time, distracting flashy **** you don't need, and constant interruptions.
    I love basketball, but this is just ridiculous. Each year I skip a game it gets worse.

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

    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. I only play season mode - online play isn't for me, never has been - so my experience has been okay so far, though I do find it oddr full court double teams players with 4

    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.

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.

    Yo, this is just a DLC for 2k20 which was also a DLC for 2k19 lol. Honestly, the only thing different is the new shot meter. They made the amazing 'innovative' decision to add a shot-stick option which just doesn't work. Major regrets buying this.

    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

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.

    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 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
