    Overall, one does not have to be a massive fan of basketball to appreciate this game. Being a fan of basketball only adds to the enjoyment. If you enjoy playing sports games and are looking for a good basketball game NBA 2K 21 is undoubtedly that game to add to your collection.

    With a solid new story mode, a greatly improved MyTeam mode and the same high quality of presentation that 2K now brings to the series on Switch, NBA 2K21 is now the new definitive basketball game on the system. The unwanted microtransaction ogre continues to loom over most of the package, ever encouraging you to fork out more cash to accelerate your progress, but as long as you're capable of ignoring this and have the patience to slowly improve your player and team organically, the results will be infinitely more satisfying.

    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.… Full Review »
