I've bought it on sale (and I recommend this for everyone) and I enjoyed the game-play and the story as well as the nice graphics and animation. It's a sports game that you can play as local couch co-op or online against other players or just in single story mode. The mechanics are a typical basketball evolement (a bit different to it's predecessor9 and if you have experience with them you'll get into it very quickly.
    The game is well made and doesn't deserve a totally bad review just by one aspect, that you didn't like.

    Si comparas el NBA 2k 20 en Stadia y este nuevo 21 notarás pocas diferencias exceptuando la actualización de las plantillas. Al no tenerSi comparas el NBA 2k 20 en Stadia y este nuevo 21 notarás pocas diferencias exceptuando la actualización de las plantillas. Al no tener crossplay las salas para encontrar jugadores y jugar on-line son una auténtica pérdida de tiempo y el único consuelo que podría ser la historia de MyCarrer es insulsa, incoherente durante el transcurso de la temporada y sin gancho. Le pongo aprobado porque la jugabilidad y fórmula es la misma de siempre y sigue funcionando. Expand

    This is by far the worst game EA has ever made. What the hell did they do to the shooting mechanism? It’s awful. You never, ever hit a shot.This is by far the worst game EA has ever made. What the hell did they do to the shooting mechanism? It’s awful. You never, ever hit a shot. How is that fun? The AI is the dumbest I’ve seen - if you try to get a rebound you get points deducted for “leaving your assignment”? You get points deducted for smart fouls? Absolute worst game I’ve ever played. I’d rather play “Double Dribble” than this hunk of **** EA should refund my money. Expand

    COPY AND PASTE NO MATTER THE PLATFORM! Game has been the same since 2K15. Honestly. No menu change since 2K17 just reskins. Same engine sinceCOPY AND PASTE NO MATTER THE PLATFORM! Game has been the same since 2K15. Honestly. No menu change since 2K17 just reskins. Same engine since 2K14 and will continue to use it into next gen. Literally some historic face scans havent changed since 2K9 and not to mention having to build a MyTeam every year just to lose all your progression the next year. Paying $60 for patches is not acceptable and now they're charging $70 for the little they already do? Sad. Get this game when its $2 on steam or when it is on your platform. Expand

    Can you guys just sell me an ad reel for $60, sorry $70 now for no justified reason, it's not like you updated anything with this game? Or I'mCan you guys just sell me an ad reel for $60, sorry $70 now for no justified reason, it's not like you updated anything with this game? Or I'm sorry it's actually $100 for the Mamba Forever edition, you know the one that profits off the passing of a hero for an unjustified price. Oh, and if you want the next-gen upgrade, you gotta shell out more to just buy the base game, because 2k wants us to but the game 2x. Please do not get me started on the slot machine mechanics in @k either, you guys are just as bad as EA and it's disgusting. Ads only belong in free to play games. Period. Of all game publishers, you guys overcharge for minimal changes between releases, when let's face it you just have an annual roster update, and you gauge us with microtransactions that other publishers include in the base game and now you put unskippable ads in a month after release!!!! DO YOU THINK WE ARE STUPID?! Never buying a 2k game again from these greedy bastards. **** you, 2k, you don't deserve the NBA ip and steal money from children. Expand

    Unskippable ads in a $60 unacceptable. This cannot become a normal occurence. Dont buy this game if you want to get a good game
