    A decent port that has improved over the last 3 years but its very minimal the graphics are what i expected them to be and the framerate at 30fps during game time is quite good but the online frame rate is poor and there is alot of pop in and not properly loaded textures in my park mode sometimes the game can get choppy in between playeven even in the offline modes the thing that impressedA decent port that has improved over the last 3 years but its very minimal the graphics are what i expected them to be and the framerate at 30fps during game time is quite good but the online frame rate is poor and there is alot of pop in and not properly loaded textures in my park mode sometimes the game can get choppy in between playeven even in the offline modes the thing that impressed me the most were the my career cutscenes particularly the first one of the city at the start looked stunning but then it was all down hill from there as microtransactions plagues the game once again and the my career mode besides the college and high school basketball was lacking Thanks for reading my review of nba2k21 on switch… Expand

    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.

    The basketball itself is solid, it alternates between looking really nice and surprisingly dated. The new shot meter will divide people, but it’s optional and one of the few changes from last year's game. The microtransactions were previously a sore point with 2K20, and it is even sorer here. For a full-priced AAA game, you should never feel like you have to spend more money to engage with half of the game. If you really want the most up to date NBA game and the MyTeam seasons then 2K21 is the obvious choice. Otherwise, NBA 2K21 is mostly the same game you played last year.

    NBA 2K21 is the best basketball simulation game currently on Nintendo Switch. Running at 30 fps, it offers an immense amount of content even taking into account the issue of loading times, its abusive purchases or the poor visual quality of certain menus.
