    I hate when my gambling in this awesome casino is interupted with basketball game or ads added after release.

    Who in their right mind thought that this game was ready to be released? So many bugs made this game unplayable. You want to progress trough the game? Well thats not going to happen. Putting the bugs aside there is the greedy predatory mechanic involving literall casino games to fool players into spending real money. What a disaster of a game.

    This is a very egregious and disappointing loot box driven experience that should simply be eradicated from video gaming.

I have gone from buying sports games yearly, to buying used physical copies of a particular sport every 3-5 years. These devs do NOT need to be supported for cycling so much of the same code year to year, and piling loot boxes on top of them like they deserve a gratuity for all their hard work. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS GAME.… Expand

    Game graphics are great. Wants too much money to enjoy content. This micro transaction/ loot box system is egregious.

    This is easily the worst basketball game I have ever played. This is among the worst games in general that I have ever played. This game is borderline non functional.

    My Career mode.....Wide open...brick....wide open.....brick. Pick and roll? Nah the AI sticks to you like glue and your character has no passive animation to move around your teammates. No you just run in place while hitting a brick wall whether it be a teammate or opponent. Also still no rookie mode for a filthy casual like me plus literal gambling in the game. This game is trash.

    Admittedly I haven't played the game as of now, but after they made a trailer for it's loot boxes, are you willing to buy a game with a trailer like that?

    Great casino simulator but the basketball mini game could use work

    Seriously thouhg, this is absolutely disgusting, if “official” reviewers want to praise this pos game, I guess the customers will have to balance out the shilling.

    I want a Basketball simulator, not a arcade.
    I want a fast and good menu, i also dont want to waste time in a social sims area.
    I want a fair game, not a pay to win/enjoy game.
    You are the cancer in the gaming industry, microtransactions have no place in a game we pay full price for.

    Has actual casinos in game that you pay real money to use. Rated E for everyone, fun for the whole family! Little Timmy can get a head start on his crippling gambling addiction. ESRB and PEGI employees are complete human trash and the developers of this piece of **** are the same.

    To be honest, I never bought this game, but went to a friends house who loves these games, after he complained how bad it was to see and play myself.

    Best game of all time. Sike. It's trash. Don't buy it. Especially not for the full price. Wait until it's 3 bucks again or just steal it from Jesus. He would understand and die for your sin. Cause even Jesus hates the state that NBA2K is right now. Do what Jesus would do and steal the game even if you stole the game from Jesus himself.

    Not sure if this an underage casino or a basketball game?? Very odd and the fact it's a 3+ game is pretty sick! Exposing addictive behavior that's only available to 18+ everywhere else apart from the video games industry is wrong. My children won't be getting any of these 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.

    2K20 is so bad, that I genuinely am impressed. I hate 2K20's gameplay with a passion. Nothing in this game plays like basketball. Players have problems catching, players are way too slow, animations take at least a second after I tap the button, the defense has no awareness, leaving shooters wide open, or leaving centers open for an easy putback dunk.

    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.
