    This is not a basketball game. This is a virtual casino to rip kids off their money. Slot machines, roulette and more, this should not be rated "E" at all.

    Just a big grind fest for randomized loot with pressure to spend money to mitigate the grind, not my kind of game.

    Insidious microtransactions, a reskin of NBA 2K19. Even the icon logo was 2K19!! It's a scam everyone. Just stick with NBA 2k19 and dont enforce or encourage their behaviour this year. If you like to actually play a basketball game, dont go for this one.

    This is so bad. Mirotrans are out of control. Am done with the 2k series. And its a gaming sim. No real step up. Just the same game with a updated rooster. With more mirotrans.

    Look. There's simulated gambling. There's REAL gambling. There's slot machines. There's games left to chance. There's micro-transactions around every single corner. The game costs 60.00 + tax. The target audience is "everyone" which includes children. Makes no sense to me. DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. GAME. Something has to change.

    When I first played this game I thought it would be much better with previous modes in 2k18-19 but this is barely a game at all. This nba is almost only about lootboxes, and cosmetics are such a grind to buy.

All those Galaxy Opal's, Pink Diamonds gone start all over and majority takes forever to get anyways. Once you do people would majority of the time leave the game instantly seeing your most powerful 99's. Thinking about it it takes a lot of money to get a great card for your My Team I spent $100 and only got two yes two please avoid and the two cards weren't even that good had to sell them in the auction and grind and hopefully win the one card in my auction.

Just know that only about five builds in the entire game that are worth using since everyone knows the meta already. The badges are completely unbalanced and there are only a handful you would ever need to be useful in a mode. Flagrant fouls run rampant, and if you’re a center, be prepared to average 1 flagrant a game in career mode AND the REC center. The microtransactions run rampant, but it’s more “in your face” in MyTeam. Which is why I rarely play it. The park is the exact same as last year, and the park events are trash, as well as the rewards for completing them. Beating the “Court Conquerer” event rewards you with a measly 5,000 VC and one selection out of a handful of team jerseys for your MyPlayer. Don’t mind the fact that it takes around 180,000 VC to get a MyPlayer to 85 overall. An absolute sh*t show all around and definitely my last 2k as I get ready for starting a career into my step of adulthood. Thanks for the last memory of gaming that I’ll have for possibly years to come, 2k! Expand

    DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!

    Ever since I downloaded the game the day it was released it's been crashing on me causing my playstation to freeze and restart. This happens every time I play. I literally can't play the game unless all I'm doing is simulating in my league. If there's any actual gameplay it freezes and crashes.

    I've reached out to 2K about this issue, and they've been no help. All they've done is send me automated responses which ignore what I've written and explained. They asked me for video of the issue and I provided it, but they tried to play it off as a problem on playstations side, so they weren't going to help even though the only game this has ever happened with on my console is NBA 2K20. I contacted support at sony and they were great. They helped me walk through the steps that I could take to fix my problem, but the game is still freezing. I sen't 2K another email today telling them that they were wrong and that the issue wasn't with my console and the response I got was the exact same email I got from them the first time I contacted support.

    I spent $100 on the game, but I can't play it. 2K is basically ripping me off. Don't let them do the same to you.

This game has this but it’s almost impossible To do more than one time. * passing has become a huge delayed system... now if you pass... it’s slowly getting to the person and feels like when you get it... the defender is right there. That being sad the game is slow and less exciting
    * dribble moves are sweet and well-done but by the time you cross someone up, you’ll be losing the ball because the computer wanted to high five you after that **** (Aka you dribbled onto jr Smith’s knee and turned it over)
    * myplayer has a good story, seems they know that’s the money making... but honestly it’s the same. The pickup courts are a rich kid at Center at height 7.1 overall 99 (can’t be done, but you understand hopefully) and a SG/SF pick and rolling on repeat. *myteam is pretty cool though, way better than Maddens ultimate team. *online ranked/quick play using actual teams is overall the same as before with the new gameplay... same **** happens... you win by 20 in the first and they leave. Andddd you get nothing. No stats... no level... nothing.
    * overall this game is slow and boring. ——————————————-
    What I miss and think should change.

    * online ranked (regular team being) should ban for 30 minutes, if you leave a match. DC/leave is a problem in every game but you have to deal with that and swallow that dc for a 15-30 minute ban.

    *myplayer should be easier to group with randoms somehow (idea, working on that)
    * passing should be quick, defense should change back to 2k12 style. You got the body work done, now add basic speed. Slow **** is boring and seems like I’m working instead of playing a game.
    * if I pass in the air, don’t make them retarded. It’s not that danm hard and is a common way of passing. Make it possible again. Same as old days, it’s not always a good idea, you might step out of bounce. But you can catch it. * overall ya’ll slackin. Whoever is workin on this... needs to go play basketball again and forget the graphics. It’s the gameplay we like. * 2k12-15 good job.(Didn’t play previous versions)

    Pathetic attempt at a game. Overmonetized, recycled features and environments, a step backwards in gameplay. Do not buy.

    The game is horrible!, please don’t buy it and don’t put money into 2K and Take Two’s pockets because they don’t use the money to improve the game at all and are the most corrupt company, Even worse than EA in my opinion. Just don’t buy this game.

    This game is horrible. Every time an event drops the game is unplayable, because of the trash servers. This game had tons of hype around it and turned out to be arguably the worst 2k released.

    It's a money grab that takes advantage of our love for basketball. If this was any other game or there was competition from another basketball game, no one would ever buy this. Worst game I've seen. The makers of this game have literally put no effort into this.

However, this year they didn’t give a single **** and the game wasn’t ready for launch day. 2k20 went on sale recently and people getting free copies in their emails. This proves nba 2k20 is an absolute scam and a waste of your money and time. DO NOT BUY THIS PLEASEEEEE (I’d say buy wwe 2k20 but that **** sucks too) Expand

Most of the new features in MyTeam require you to spend an unfair amount of time or money to even be able to utilize them. This is not the game we were promised and it still feels like a beta. I also don’t appreciate the weekly 30GB updates either. On top of All of that Ronnie2K, the main marketing guy for NBA2K who already had a terrible reputation has made things worse by openly lying to the customers and being an arrogant piece of **** This is not to mention the recent video that has surfaced of him having an underage girl in his bedroom either. The community got a hashtag trending to fire Ronnie2K on twitter and yet nothing has been done about him. This game needs serious changes along with 2K the company or I’ll be done with them for good.

Throughout my life I have went through some pretty torturous experience i.e. 2k18 and 2k19 but after experiencing the atrocity that is 2k20 I look back at my times at 2k18 and 19 with a smile. In their attempt to make a basketball they have removed fundamental parts of basketball such as the ability for point guards to create off the dribble. As if this wasn't enough they have also implemented a RNG component to shooting! YES. SHOOTING!!! When you play 2k20 it is like playing basketball in the 40s people act like the three point line isn't a thing. The game is plagued with rim running whores. Prior to the launch of NBA 2K20 there was a lot of talk about in innovative new way to make your myplayer that would emphasize diversity and allow you to create players capable of doing more than just one thing. This myplayer system is ass. It encourages uniformity by limiting the types of builds you can make and allowing everyone to use the same badges. On top of this the badge system although at first glance a marvelous feature allowing players to choose exactly what badges they like is terrible. The badge system is a facade as many of the badges you are required to choose if you want to be a capable myplayer. In con-closing I think 2k20 is unconstitutional and I feel like it contradicts my civil liberties as an American citizen. 2k games needs to be held responsible. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME. GO OUTSIDE AND COUNT THE CLOUDS IN THE SKY IT IS MORE ENTERTAINING. Expand

    Worse 2k game ever. Game play isn’t as responsive as older 2k games. Your my player will ultra suck even if you’ve upgraded to 90. Slow reaction time, slow shot gather up, games are rigged or decided for you to be lose, your team AI will be the stupidest scorers ever.

    This game has become one of the most underwhelming releases on the year. Bugs have taken over the game ever since its birth and it has not been fixed since, and has possibly gotten worse. 2k devs clearly don't care about the game. All they care about is the cash that falls onto their fat laps during the games release. Its been like this since the 2k17 and it has not changed since.

    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.
