    Imagine grinding this game for 100 hours to max your player, then 2k decides to nerf your player without any recourse.

    I also bought their MX called VC because the grind was rediculous in the first place.

    COMPLETELY ANTICONSUMER BULLCRAP

    Company tries to milk customers by any means possible. Games wastes 100s of hours of your time by having 5 cutscenes and loading screens whereever possible. Gameplay wise very stale and scripted. Going against the meta (3 point barrage) is punished heavily by incompetent game design.

    This game has gone downhill tremendously I rather play 2k19!! The gameplay is the worst
    Everything is dumbed down slow and glitchy You can change directions without taking forever You feel stuck in mud when using players Wide open shots never go in Even instances with wide open layups to the hoop Defense is buggy in transition Everyone blows by each other    Most dissapointing game drop ever

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is so terrible, full of bugs, causing you to replay the same game matches again and again without actually saving the progress. Many spin rewards don't work, game crashes, AIs are ridiculously dumb. And they basically copied most of the game and graphics from NBA 2k19 except with a lot more bugs with the newer version. The price tag is a joke, the game is so similar to nba 2k19, dont bother buying the new one. I really regretted spending the money on it.… Expand

    today the game is completely unbalanced. There is no type of defense, the players run up against the defenders by literally moving them and going to the basket as if the defender were not there. Online people have understood that the equipment for the whole field and going to the basket is the easiest and most effective way to make points. There are no more schemes of actions andtoday the game is completely unbalanced.

There are no more schemes of actions and constructions. It is not a basket ball game. It does not reward those who build a reasoned and realistic action. It does not reward those who defend ONBALL. It is not a complete and balanced game. I hope it is logically balanced as it has only been released for a month because at the moment it is already a dead game.… Expand

    Dubious transaction behaviour in My Team Auction House with Price Fixing to drive up card value. Conducted ten separate bids on Brandon Roy this morning (with what seemingly was the highest bid) and result each time: bid immediately increased by 50 MT exactly independent of the value I bid.

    Honestly, I love 2k... I wish I didn’t have to see this. * defense switches are low IQ
    * offensive plays are more frustrating and less exciting than before. Dunks are less “oh hey I gotcha” to “I was wide open, nice dunk package though” * threes are impossible to hit unless wide open

    * offensive plays are more frustrating and less exciting than before. Dunks are less “oh hey I gotcha” to “I was wide open, nice dunk package though” * threes are impossible to hit unless wide open
    —- before you could outskill your opponent with accurate releases. 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)
    *2k16-20 fire everyone

    Playing on pro vs all star is such a difference that its not even fair, my ai sucks and the other team makes everything. You would think after years of making basketball games they would finally get it but its just a money maker now they don't care about changing anything im not buying next years game

    Bought this game for the last decade but this is getting out of hand. This is not a basketball game. This has become a 0 skill pay to win game. Buying in game content is oke with me. If people like it they should go for it. But it shouldn't have any influence on your win chances so that the game is available too anyone!

    Broken game mechanics, microtransactions, lack of quality and authenticity to basketball, their too focused on monetizing the game and surrounding the game with advertisements, which would be fine if the game wasn't fundamentally broken. Full price game with free to play mobile microtransactions, little improvements from one game to the next, game is the living example of how a monopoly can work.

    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.
