    Basically made to be a multiplayer game. To many micro transactions. Nothing new for a single player like myself.

    Worst NBA 2K Ever ! Unfinished game with tonns of problems and glitches. Especially MyTeam mode. To complete spotlite challenges u need spent a tonn of money. About 500$ or more on packs with players . This discusting loot boxes game. Shame to Devs and especially greed owners.

    This is too much... you buy a game and it is only playable if you pay for extra coins to buy skills or gamble for cards.. this must end! If I pay for AAA title I want full experience! Not only a demo! Disgraceful

    A casino game with a basketball mini game? and 3 year old children can play it? so, you're introducing gambling at a very early age, that's the way the industry works now. RIP AAA games. I hope you 2K Games go bankrupt and all your shareholders and executives rot in jail, life sentence for all of you! You're even worse than EA, that's just unbelievable, this is a new low!

    Fake micro transactions with gambling theme targeting children. Abuse of game companies. Gameplay is the same as 19, with barely any updates.

    Loot Box Simulator. That's what this needs to be called. It's just absurd how despicable 2K is these days.

    10/10 best casino game of the year!!! (The basketball bits are good too)*

    This is a joke. I don’t know whom I don’t like more - devs who’s adding casino and selling same game every year, but with different roaster or - people who still buying it, and because of whom all of this micro transaction hell continues in gaming industry.

That's a lie. Game can't even keep track of stats. Even if they update some of this, I'm keeping this at 0 because no game should be advertised as if they tested it extensively (with celebs and community playing lol) and then release it IN BETA STAGE. Can't even guarantee that you're loading into a friend's neigbirhood for the 3RD STRAIGHT YEAR. Enough said right there. 2k lied. 2k lied. 2k lied. 2k lied. 2k lied. 2k lied.… Expand

    Just from watching videos everywhere, EVERYTHING looks the same. Different HUD here and there, different layout and STILL THE SAME SINCE 2K18. Not wasting my money on a 2GB LOOKING UPDATE PUT ON A DISK PERIOD.

    Currently being kicked from MyCareer at the end of most games, so buy it if you like grinding and receiving nothing. Also, 2K seems to be completely oblivious to what is going on. They are tweeting like everyone has been having a great time and there aren’t hundreds of replies asking why the game isn’t working on every tweet, and that really compelled me to leave a bad review here

    Pathetic excuse of a game launch. If I could get my money back I would. Year after year they increase their profits while not keeping the same garbage servers and limited development staff. Go with another sports title because this is not it.

    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.

    This is sad. The parks are the exact same as nba 2k19, but re-skinned. Feel like 2K put no effort in this game. The dribbling is clunky, the game speed is so slow, and there are bugs and glitches on top of each other with badges and rep. Don’t waste your money on this game!

    This game is a farce compared to its previous forms. The micro-transactions are a poison pill that gamers are tolerating less and less. The game has no notable additions compared to NBA 2k19 and even NBA 2k18. Every year the game becomes nothing more than a roster update and a player appearance update. If they cared to update the game after launch, players from last season would not JUST NOW be getting physical updates. It's something so minuscule that shows a lack of care for these games. Why does Derrick rose just now have his headband and cornrows/braids, or Clint Capela just now has a simple colored patch he had all of last season. Are these nitpicks? Yes! Things so simple it wouldn't be hard to update throughout a year on a $60 AAA Title like 2k claims to be. Just such a disappointment that continues to diminish every year    … Expand

    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.
