    Idk what the user review bombing is about, but I really enjoyed this game. Best looking 2k on Switch yet, great soundtrack, numerous new features, My career mode has a great story. New players, teams and uniforms, it doesn't get any better than this imo

    NBA2k 20 In my opinion is the best basketball game on Nintendo switch period.

    Great game! People usually think it’s a copy and paste, but they have upgraded visuals, and gameplay feels improved and different. It’s a great port, but of course the extra download does take some time. Must buy if you’re a basketball fan, and want a great experience on the go

    Idk, just bought my first NBA 2k for 10$ and everything is ok. Good soundtrack, good graphics, many different and cool mechanic's, gamemods.
    Haven't seen a single casino so far. If u can't control yourself and your money - that's your problems

    First, let me say I've had this game for two years now. I've also owned NBA 2K21 and NBA 2K22. I've waited for the prices to come down. I got NBA 2K20 for $5.99 on the e-store, and wow--I was not expecting the production value that would've come with even 59.99. I'm not into collecting currency and playing marathon seasons, but the strange this is, for me, NBA 2K20 is WAYYYYY betterFirst, let me say I've had this game for two years now.

The handling and controls are, for whatever reason, easy and intuitive in NBA2K20. It may be, along with MLB The Show (22) and PGA Tour 2K21, the best non Mario sports titles out there for the Switch.… Expand

    While it’s impossible to separate NBA 2K20 from its questionable monetisation techniques, there’s no disputing that it’s a fantastic basketball game. Best of all, there are next to no concessions made for the Nintendo Switch version - it feels great to play and runs excellently.

    For Switch-owning sports fans there’s nothing that comes close to NBA 2K20. Boasting great visuals, stellar gameplay and a feature-rich range of play types, there’s something for everyone, and while VC is still a ‘feature’ that we’d rather didn’t have a place in modern sports titles, it’s been balanced back in the favour of actual gameplay.

    NBA 2K on the Nintendo Switch brings a lot of welcome elements, from the variety of game modes to the presence of the WNBA as well as its expected fluid gameplay, fans of basketball games have plenty to look forward here. The microtransactions in this game, though, will give the impression that they are not much more than gambling and that sticks out like a sore thumb. Were it not for that, NBA 2K is plentiful in content that will leave basketball fans very satisfied with this new contribution for the Nintendo Switch catalogue.
