    I play franchise mode only. And for that it’s a 9. I can’t speak to the micro transactions, I stay away. I’m happy to have such a high quality gameplay sim on the switch. It’s fluid, realistic, fair. The presentation is incredible as always. For this to be on a handheld is just a marvle. Feel same about fifa. But you can buy last years version on either and get the same great gameplay.

    Wow 2K had done it again. This is the most realistic basketball simulation to date and a true must have an any video game collectors collection. This will go down in the books as a hyper realistic Basketball simulator. This will be remembered by the 2K community as a shining beacon we will remember this game in good graces. Nothing else really these devs have done has made me more proudWow 2K had done it again.

Truly I am thankful for all the hard working men and women at 2K who could deliver this wonderful experience to the basketball community :)… 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.
