    Too much basketball in my casino game. First thing I saw was a pop up ad. Then I found a slot machine in an E rated game. Absolutely garbage. Got it on PS Plus and still not worth it.

    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.

    As a basketball normie, this games gives me what I want. I get to throw a ball through a hoop and do it again and again. And that's great, because that's just about the only thing you can do without having to pay for it. If I hadn't paid like 6$ for this game I would have given it a much lower score.

    I have a love/hate relationship with this game, but the gameplay has been really improved over previous years. I bought this game for $25 on a Black Friday sale, so the way I'll approach this review will be through that lens.

You    I have a love/hate relationship with this game, but the gameplay has been really improved over previous years.

    Love:
    -The actual basketball part of this game is mostly smooth, the spacing that the AI maintains is refreshing and reflects actual basketball strategy. You can play different styles (iso ball, just chuck up 3's, old school pound-it-inside) and execute any strategy if you're good enough.
    - The "MyLeague" mode is mostly unchanged, which is a good thing in my opinion. The salary cap rules are complex and difficult, but so are the salary cap rules in real life.
    - I've really enjoyed the "MyCareer" mode. It's fun, challenging, and rewarding. If you play through your first year, do every practice, and end up hot at the end of the year you can quickly level up your player and sign a new contract in order to get paid a ton of VC per game.
    - The neighborhood aspect of MyCareer is fun too. The easy matchmaking of it is well done.
    - I know badges aren't a new aspect of the game, but I moved from 2K14 to 2K20, The badges really bring out every player's unique skillset. I really enjoy them.

    Hate
    - The amount of cutscenes that you cannot skip, even if you turn all cutaways off in the options, is MADDENING especially in modes that aren't exhibition. I don't care what some random opponent player's stat line is. I don't care what my player's stat line is. I can look that up. Bringing the game to a screeching halt to tell me what my opponent's upcoming schedule is or what the standings are drives me nuts every single time. Having to watch blatant product placement (i.e. the "State Farm Assist of the Game") and not being able to skip it sucks. It really takes away from the great "on court" product.
    - On a similar note, any aspect of gameplay where the ball is not in play is super staggered and filled with unnecessary animations. Why does the referee need to take 10 seconds to tell everyone there's one free throw left? Why can't 2K ever fix the "make a basket, the ball bounces away, and the inbounder slowly walks after it, picks it up and slowly walks back to inbound it" glitch? It's literally been in the game since I started playing 2K in the 00's.
    - Having to "quit out to the main menu to update" during a game, only to get hit with a VC ad is super slimy. Like really underhanded stuff.
    - The game is riddled with microtransactions. As I stated above, I purchased the game for $25 dollars so I was cool with dropping another $30 into the game to start out with a better MyCareer player. If I bought the game for $60, I'd be pissed.

    Overall, the on court product is fun enough for me to give this a high rating. But man does 2K do a good job of making me hate this game at points.    … Expand

In the 6 months or so, I have not been able to load or successfully play a myteam game, and I also lag on every other game mode including friendly game with friends. I am now going to give you reasons on why this game is the worst.

    1. FIX THE SERVERS: I get it, the servers will never be perfect but that doesn't excuse 2k from being this bad. I lag on every single game mode and myteam I can get log into a game before lagging out within the first 60 seconds. The playground is slightly better but i still lag out half the time

    2. FIX THE PACKS ON THE MARKET AND PLAYERS TO START THE GAME (MYTEAM)
    2k needs to stop juicing the packs not to mention the odds are horrible making you spend hundreads of dollars of the game. You need an galaxy opal team to win online which you need to spend a lot of money on. In my opinion NBA 2k17 and 18 had the best Myteam because it wasn't overloaded, You had to work for your players, Packs weren't juiced, Not a pleathra of high overall players, Gameplay was better, and less players. Also the myteam game cannot start with rubys and up. Start with saphires and under for the next game.

    MYCARRER IS TO BROAD AND VERY INREALISTIC

    MyCareer is my favorite mode in 2K. However this year was a complete and utter disapointment.
    Sharpshooters are useless in this game they only have a 3-pt rating on 95 it should be a 99 because its your only skill and the build will be completely useless from everywhere else on the court

    Playmakers deserve 99 ball handle and Passing ratings, also very high speed, accelleration, and algilty and a slightly better shot

    Slashers shouldn't be able to shoot 3s

    NBA 2k should go back to the primary and Secondary skills not the thing we have now which allows Glass Cleaning Lockdown centers to shoot 3s. Also if u don't get a green release it doesn't go in. They need to take out the amount of badges they nobody uses. Also the builds you see "offensive mined wing" thats bad and broad and shouldn't be in the game. Centers should not be able a pure playmaker.

    NBA 2k has gotten more lazy with their game over the past year or so. They forgot to put in the simulate game feature on my league they put no effort in their this year because its the same as last year. The playground is the same everything is identical. Also when playing myleague you get blue screened every 10 minutes. The mygm mode lacks details and they tried to make good and they didn't do that. Currently the start today feature doesn't even work I can't do anything once I'm on the screen. 2k has claimed that they didn't put much effort in this game so 2k21 would be great, thats like saying I'm going to do 7th grade twice so Ill be ready for 9th grade. Thats a very very poor excuse. 2K please fix your game.    … Expand

    Buggy as hell in My Career mode. Somehow 2k have managed to progressively make this game. worse. The worst bit though is the blatant pay to win and locking accessories and such behind a paywall. For a full=price game it's appaling. 2k have become worse than EA, and that's saying something. There's no reason to buy this game every year. It's now largely a Sims simulator with over-priced bling.

    I only paid $1 for this through the Xbox Game Pass and all I can say is THANK GOD I DIDN'T PAY FULL PRICE!!!!!!!!! Playing through this game was easily the worst 2 weeks of my life.

    - The MyPlayer career is completely rigged from beginning to end. Your moronic player refuses to sink the simplest wide-open baskets from 3ft away from the net and I'm talking shots that a grade 6 girls basketball team could hit repeatedly. Winning the Championship is basically pointless, I don't even remember earning an achievement for it. I sure as hell didn't get any extra VC for it!
    - Any & all online play (excluding "Play Now - Online") is bar far the most laggy glitchy idiot-infested GARBAGE I've seen since dialup internet, you simply cannot enjoy a moment of it. The only reason "Play Now - Online" works is because it's usually only 2-4 players in a private match, instead of the 40+ players that idiotic 2K jams into each lobby on their pathetically worthless servers.
    - I thought MyLeague could be the saving grace after all the previous torture I had endured, but holy crap was I ever wrong! A 100% customizable team/arena/roster/player/etc. should be a dream come true, however after I spent 5.5 hours well into the early morning customizing literally everything suddenly the game said "error: connection interrupted" and returned me to the opening screen without saving any of my settings/stadium/uniforms/etc. At this point I lost my mind and went to bed. I woke up the next day and recreated everything with ferocious rage in my eyes . When I went to save my newly completed arena it gave me a repeating message: "THERE WAS A PROBLEM SAVING THE ARENA. PLEASE TRY AGAIN." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh wow.

    Uninstalled. Never ever again.

Per usual the servers are still awful and they’ve absolutely gutted the franchise mode without any sort of improvements. They also took out 2k share which I thought was a super unique and creative way for players to develop and create different all time teams and draft classes. Gameplay wise it’s the exact same thing as 2k19. Like I said 2k7 was the first 2k I’ve bought and I’ve bought every single one since then but I’m done.

Even the streamers admit to how bad the game is. Here we go:

    1. Missed layups are the biggest legacy problem of any sports franchise ever--even worse than the terrible defensive AI in Madden games. It's simply put the most unrealistic thing in any sports game. They do it to make up for the lack of any form of decent defensive AI.

    2. Passing is broken.

    3. MyTeam cards are ridiculous. By midseason, most elite cards are basically duplicates of each other. Most elite cards start receiving 99s and HOF badges across the board. Then it gets stupid with Alex Caruso and Bol Bol galaxy opals. They could make a much better myTeam mode by simply using cards from each season. Galaxy opals would be like LeBron on Miami, Giannis 2019, etc. Enough with the silly cards.

    4. My God, the unskippable cutscenes. The timeouts, the halftime...what a waste of time. And the wait for the damn ref to give you the ball on a free throw? SMH.

    5. Contracts in myTeam need to go. A nuisance for players with lots of MT and a problem for casual players.

    6. Height is way overrated. This game renders players under 6'6" basically useless in the meta. So, all time greats like Nash, AI, Stockton, and Isiah are worse than a diamond Lonzo Ball.

    7. Pack odds and people wasting money. Stop it. Introduce legitimate box toppers or GTFO.

    8. Story modes in sports games? Who enjoys these? God awful writing and cringeworthiness, but it's the same in all sports games with career modes. Who buys sports sims to play a lousy story mode?

    9. Defensive AI needs a setting to stay in front of your man. I teach elementary school kids this principle, so I'm sure NBA players could get it. On HoF difficulty, my teammates stand around like idiots and let players run by them for alley oops, etc, all the time. It's the definition of artificial difficulty.

    10. Many, many other things. I could go on forever about how frustrating this game can be. I seriously don't know how people can enjoy this game long term. But I'm a sucker who buys it every year, being a massive NBA fan.

We all know that is a load of BS. I wouldn’t miss a wide open lay up even in a professional game. 2k will never admit it, but there is a built in lag to the game that needs addressed. It has been a part of every 2k and extremely annoying. Your PG will literally be dribbling middle of court and then there’s a lag spike and all of a sudden your guy is out of bounds. Since when do basketball players just run out of bounds for no reason. Until 2k realizes that “any player” should not be missing wide open lay ups, so this game is not worth buying. Honestly, Dwight Howard’s hands are above the basket same with Wilt and Kareem. They should not miss 5 lay up attempts in a row, let alone at all. DO NOT PAY $60 FOR THIS GAME! DO NOT PAY $30! It’s not worth it. I would wait for it to be extremely cheap on sale, or wait for it to be one of the free games on the month.

    You can't build a decent team without buying packs and the challenge rewards are awful at best. Once you beat "Domination" in My Team, it's pretty much a done deal unless you like playing "Unlimited" which requires you to win 12 straight games to get the prize something most can't do in one sitting.

    -Graphics/Details to players
    -Ability to download user created rosters/legendary rosters

    Thats it truly. The negatives in this game are astounding and it is sad to see the franchise fall so far. Gameplay is the exact same as previous entries of the last three to four years. They have added so many different badges and abilities now that they water down the original ones. With the micro transactions they have focused on MyTeam and MyPlayer more than anything in terms of game modes which really aren't that good either. The Franchise Mode/Online Play now features have not been updated outside of a change in the stock images they use and that's about it. 2K use to so great because of how players felt unique/themselves. Steph Curry could hit deep threes, Lebron was a tank etc... Now? You have to find guides or a user who edited all the players jump shots, packages etc to make them feel like themselves. Its a lot of work to put into a game that literally prides itself in being a basketball simulator. Some other basic things are truly broken in this game during gameplay as well including layups, dunks and just overall defense.

    Is this correctable for 2K? Absolutely but they need to realize that they can include a game with micro transactions can exist if they focus on other sides of the game for offline players as well. I doubt they will focus on anything else anytime soon though as this has been a progressive pattern for them for the last five years.

    One can hope. I gave this a 5/10 for the pure fact that the graphics are still some of the best while the cons truly outweighs the rest.    … Expand

In the neighborhood mode which is my preferred mode to play, before you can even get competitive you have to spend hours upon hours of playing against the cpu and performing tedious tasks, get bad progression points which are very important and then just maybe you can be somewhat competitive. Not to mention that dribble moves were removed from 2k19, jumpshots are inconsistent and forget about attempting to play without the quick draw badge because jumpshots take forever to release. There's barely anyone at the parks, the neighborhood is the same as 2k19 it's insulting that they charged full price for a game that's essentially a downgrade of the previous year's version.

They have it where players are getting tired fast missing wide open layups dunks stupid shot selection and all.. I'm sure I'm not the only person that feels this way. My record is 88 -58 Cleary a decent overall score and the highest level I reach was college. It's in the game itself and needs improvement fast. I'm not spending money on it no more until the Ps5 comes out. Forreal… Expand

    I bought 2k20 about 3 months ago and here is my impression. I think that the development as far as dribbling and change in acceleration with players decent and smoother than some previous games.

    THEIR RATINGS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. Every year 2k outdoes itself, every year they surprise me. With a game that was already less than pathetic, they manage to release a game that’s even worse than last year’s. I am excited to play next year’s 2k, to see if I can waste $60 any easier than I did this year. This game is absolutely atrocious, but atrocious is really an understatement.

    I would rate 2k20 a 2 out of 5 stars because first of all 2k20 is not nearly as good as 2k19. The dribbling in 2k20 is garbage compared to the dribbling in 2k19. 2019 was just a way more polished game and way better of a game then 2k20. The way 2k20 flows is very slow-paced. it's like they went down in graphics over a year. It’s way harder to get good at 2k20 then in 2k19.

The game is somewhat boring this year because you have to play my career games the whole time to get your player good. And if your player is not good you can't play the fun part and even that can be boring because of the slow pace of the game. Overall last year's game was way better and 2k20 was just a flop.… Expand

    I recently purchased it to replace 2k17. I had played 2k19 before so I am familiar with the gameplay of the newer 2k games. The MyCareer mode is stupidly hard for no reason.

I had played 2k19 before so I am familiar with the gameplay of the newer 2k games. The MyCareer mode is stupidly hard for no reason. It’s almost impossible to get assists because your teammates will miss almost every shot they take and the defenders are like magnets. I can’t for the life of me understand why they would get rid of rookie difficulty in mycareer. Foul calls are so ridiculously soft it’s not even fun to play anymore. Illegal screening is so easy to do that you can’t even run pick and rolls. The AI is way too good on stealing passes when they aren’t even looking at the ball and my 90rated 3 point player with silver catch and shoot still misses wide open 3s. Also whoever decided that layups need a shot meter should be fired because that is the stupidest **** I’ve ever seen. NBA players don’t miss open layups often enough to need a shot meter. Layups should be an automatic animation that may be affected by a defender. Even when I turned off shot meter affecting layups it still made me miss open layups. Also I have dunk packages equipped so why won’t my player ever dunk? The defense essentially cancels out deadeye because you will not make a shot with a defender closing out on you. Players who aren’t that good all of a sudden are hitting guarded 3s while my guy can’t hit an open running jumper. The defender always hedges our perfectly so pick and rolls are essentially useless. Grinding up is hard because you can’t do anything during games so you barely pick up enough coins to gain levels. Developers need to take a hard look at mycareer because they really messed it up in this game to the point where it’s not even fun or worth playing. Seriously considering getting a refund and going back to 2k17 even without servers. If there were negative ratings I would’ve given this game that.… Expand

    Hands down the worst NBA 2K I've ever played. I got it for half price on boxing day sale and even that is not worth it.

    I am a huge NBA fan and this game is a huge disappointment. Don't waste your money on this game.

    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.

    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.
