    I am trying to get into sport games. This was a bad start. From the gameplay to the graphics and the controls, this is bad. Maybe sport games are just not for me, but I don't think this deserves its price.

    Although an entertaining, realistic basketball experience, this game is all but a good one. There are MICRO-TRANSACTIONS that you can use to progress and upgrade your online multiplayer character. This is PAY-TO-WIN and is unacceptable for any and all multiplayer games. If you like fair and balanced gameplay PLEASE AVOID this game.

This is not a videogame, this is paid torture with a built in gambling simulator, featuring real money and your actual disappointment. Sure, the animations look half decent... even though they ruin the gameplay entirely. This is nothing like actual basketball, and it isn't fun like a videogame should be.

    I'll be honest, I got this game on sale (deluxe edition) for $25 and I still feel ripped off. TakeTwo interactive is cancerous, and so is this game.

    I only paid $1 for this through the Xbox Game Pass and all I can say is THANK GOD I DIDN'T PAY FULL PRICE!!!!!!!!! Playing through this game was easily the worst 2 weeks of my life.

    - The MyPlayer career is completely rigged from beginning to end. Your moronic player refuses to sink the simplest wide-open baskets from 3ft away from the net and I'm talking shots that a grade 6 girls basketball team could hit repeatedly. Winning the Championship is basically pointless, I don't even remember earning an achievement for it. I sure as hell didn't get any extra VC for it!
    - Any & all online play (excluding "Play Now - Online") is bar far the most laggy glitchy idiot-infested GARBAGE I've seen since dialup internet, you simply cannot enjoy a moment of it. The only reason "Play Now - Online" works is because it's usually only 2-4 players in a private match, instead of the 40+ players that idiotic 2K jams into each lobby on their pathetically worthless servers.
    - I thought MyLeague could be the saving grace after all the previous torture I had endured, but holy crap was I ever wrong! A 100% customizable team/arena/roster/player/etc. should be a dream come true, however after I spent 5.5 hours well into the early morning customizing literally everything suddenly the game said "error: connection interrupted" and returned me to the opening screen without saving any of my settings/stadium/uniforms/etc. At this point I lost my mind and went to bed. I woke up the next day and recreated everything with ferocious rage in my eyes . When I went to save my newly completed arena it gave me a repeating message: "THERE WAS A PROBLEM SAVING THE ARENA. PLEASE TRY AGAIN." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh wow.

    Uninstalled. Never ever again.

If the game wants you to lose it'll make sure you do. Also, you must spend an extra $50 dollars to get the necessary vc to level up enough to do anything. There's been times I've played this game and the experience made me hate video games so much I didn't want to touch another game for a week and a half. This is the most unnecessarily hard, and over scripted game I've ever played. A massive blue balls waste of time.… Expand

    This game is garbage. Where do I start. You miss easy layups for no reason. Free throw meter don’t come up until too late. Hard to tell when to release free throws. Players AI on offense s and defense is atrocious. You can’t make a wide open shot to save your life. The only thing good is the graphics. This is the worst 2k basketball

    This is the same game we have been playing for years with little improvement. The gameplay is still way too slow in comparison to real life. Players perform ridiculous animations for otherwise easy shots. Players miss wide-open layups/shots. Shooting is still very hard. Do not buy if you have last years game unless you want a glorified roster update.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler Alert!!

    This is the worst game ever made, coming from the worst series ever made. This is the first half of my review, go to ps4 2k20 to see the end.

    Here’s a breakdown of what’s wrong:

    First, basketball (like most sports games) aren’t ready for, or aren’t being made for, the video game medium. Designing a game where you pass the ball perfectly, but it flies out of bounds because your of pass rating being a 98 instead of a 99 is a total disrespect to gaming. Think of it this way—Imagine you are playing call of duty: You see a guy, you shoot him, the bullet flies and it hits him dead in the head. But wait... no damage? Oh no! Your guy had a 98 accuracy rating, so even though you compensated for the accuracy and recoil of the gun, and you accounting for all factors of your movement and the enemy movement and the bullet fly time, and even though you did everything perfectly, the game takes away for success because the rating of the character you were using shouldn’t be able to do that.

    Therein lies the problem with why sports games cannot have fidelity and faithfulness to skill at the same time. How do you program a game to have people of the same height run at different speeds without giving a number to the speed they should be running? It’s not an easy answer... The answer is to have hundreds of more skill sliders, and have them be hidden to the player. Have each player have first step speed, second step speed, third step speed, all the way through when they would gas out, then have the same stats but with acceleration, then do the same with with jerk (the rate of change of acceleration, then do the same with with jounce (the rate of change of jerk), then also do the same thing for each step with stride length, and have each bar affected by stamina, as a dynamic modifier, no a single state itself. It’s tons and tons of more work—but hey, maybe don’t put out an iteration every year and take time to get it right. Each player should have thousands of hidden statistics that influence a game, and none of them should result in canned animations-where the ball would be 100% a swish, but it bounces out because your shooting rating isn’t high enough. Have the statistics guide the physics, not the other way around.

    Now that’s just the problem with all sports games, and this particular game exhibits that worse than most: but this game excels at being terrible.

    The in game currency is disgusting. It’s a cash grab—completely transparent cash grab. The game is designed to starve you for vc as much as possible, and then make everything rely on that. There’s so much to say about this, but most people already understand. If you make your game content locked behind pay gates, then the majority of players won’t have fun... and what’s locked behind vc in this game? having a player above the 64 starting rating, or a second player above the 60 starting rating, all animations from dribbles to dunks, EVERY CLOTHING ITEM (you wear a brown paper bag until you get vc, which you’re saving for stats so you never buy clothes unless you’re foolish or have spent real life money)... essentially the entire game depends on you getting this one currency, and the currency you can get for real life money—your results depend entirely on how much real life money you spent, that’s the definition of pay to win.

    Soooooo many other problems. The community is trash—try playing neighborhood without seeing a backflip. don’t worry i’ll wait—people are taunting constantly, it reminds me of black ops 3 dancing at the end of the game—it’s not celebratory, it’s antagonistic. The community is also low skill gap, angry, impatient and young. The difference in skill between the world’s best player and the average player is fully contained in the randomness that comes from different players stats—if everyone was 99 in everything, the world finals would be a coin toss. Whether you win or lose, you’ll get messages from your random teammates or the opponents, and these are short, juvenile insults like “you trash”, even though they went ice cold and you had all the points and rebounds. When playing quads, you’ll notice teams of 2 playing and only passing back and forth between them, forsaking open shots for their buddy to touch the ball. And most players spring around everywhere, and this really can’t be blamed on them, the flow of the game is abysmal. Watching a 5’7” player get outran by a 7’3” with 20 less speed is maddening.    … Expand

    First let me get to the positives. Presentation is top shelf stuff. The soundtrack, TNT style presentation is well done. The commentator rotation has all the names you've come to expect from Chris Webber, Kevin Harlan, Kirk Kellogg and Bill Simmons.

    Now for the bad

    My Team features casino like games to win upgrades in the myteam mode. You've probably heard about this fiasco already. The pay to win formula in 2K is criminal. Marketed to kids with scooters and Halloween style neighborhood themes but yet has full blown gambling. Even worse yet, gambling aspects use real money to win fake money.

    Now lets get to the bread and butter of the recent 2k installments, my career. This is where 2K is absolutely embarrassing and Mike Wang should be fired.

    The statistical system in My career/neighborhood doesn't keep accurate stats and some categories have no stats. Your rec center stats for example, in the menus when you check stats.... there's nothing there. Just zeros.

    Gameplay wise Pro am and Rec are cheese fests. Once again players can steal passes with their backed turned to the ball. That's inexcusable. Bump steals still happen. You can have an HOF unpluckable badge and 95 ball handling yet get ripped by a lumbering center. There is zero logic or relation to actual basketball in this game.
    Mid range jumpers are more difficult to hit than well contested 3 pointers. As a matter of fact, teams of 99 rated players just run along the 3 point line waiting to catch the ball and green bar fall away 3 pointers. Absolutely pathetic.

    Centers can outrun point guards on fast breaks. I don't mean Anthony Davis type centers. I mean big heavy centers.
    Glitches galore on top of the fundamentally horrid gameplay mechanics.

    People, please stop buiyng these games.    … Expand

    Magaleck, maybe fanboy a little less, and also stop being a 2k Shill.

    There is no way this game should get a 10 in any review. It's an exact copy of last year's game, and the team seems to have spent more time on including GAMBLING machines in the game than actually improving it in anyway. Don't support this action, it ruins the games we love. And don't criticise parents, they have enough to do, that's why they use the ratings to see if they can trust a game to not be bad for their kids. It's rated as an E under ESRB, and even under their own guidelines, simulated gambling is a T rating. All of this behaviour by a developer is wrong, and not what we should be condoning. Yes as an Adult, if I want to go and drop $50,000 or $100,000 in Vegas, I will. But I don't want that shoved in my face or my child's face when I'm playing a Basketball Game. Which I think we should all remember, is what this is meant to be.    … Expand

    GREAT Casino and gambling game. It seems like they added some sort of basketball simulator to the gambling game. This is greed at its best. The basketball game is a full blown $60 expansion to NBA 2k19. "expansion" being they only changed the roster and charged you $60. The game is the exact same copy as 2K19

    I want a propper basketball simulation. NOT a partIy arcade!! I owned nba 2K18 and I loved it. It was a Simulation of basketball. It was reasonably slow and fluid, with full motions for each movement. Timing was of utmost importance and felt rewarding. The sound of fingers catching the ball or the ball hitting the hoop and bouncing off were satisfyingly accurate, and the game feltI want a propper basketball simulation. NOT a partIy arcade!! I owned nba 2K18 and I loved it. It was a Simulation of basketball. It was reasonably slow and fluid, with full motions for each movement. Timing was of utmost importance and felt rewarding. The sound of fingers catching the ball or the ball hitting the hoop and bouncing off were satisfyingly accurate, and the game felt complete. I could could only imagine how much better it would be 2 years later combined with the newest contents... So I waited, and bought 2k20. My big disappointment is in a department I least expected to be disappointed in, because they were already doing it right. Gameplay. NBA 2k20 tried to improve the gameplay, but totally spoilt it in an ambitious attempt to fix what was not broken. The players feel reluctant to move at your command, when they do, they move fast, so disproportionately to your controller inputs, leaving a feeling that you are not really in control. Despite cleaner animations, motions feel incomplete, as though they were cut short and the players just DON'T WANT TO MOVE. Developers claim that in 2K20 there's a beter sense of weight of the players, but that's a big lie,it sounds more like something they should have sad about 2k18. This makes the game feel more arcade than simulated. Kind of like what Need For Speed is to Forza motorsport. I get the feeling the AI is assisting me when I play because of how my input donnot feel effective and players also tend to move at their own time. I feel that those with 2k18/19 should not rush for this game. You are better off with your current games. The gameplay of 2k20 is disappointing and is not worth this money. I am happier playing 2k18 as far as gameplay. If you really just want a new game, wait til the price drops.… Expand

    Overall, NBA 2K20 is still the best basketball game on the planet and that doesn’t look to be changing any time soon. While some fans may be upset about microtransactions, it’s not a requirement to play the game. At this point, however, it seems like as long as NBA 2K is the best game out there, microtransactions will be here to stay.

    The shame of all this is that without these practices, NBA 2K20 can stand tall as the best basketball sim available. Even running unopposed with the retirement of the NBA Live franchise, it continues to get better and better on the court, but serious issues surrounding that experience leave it feeling less and less impressive year on year. Here’s hoping 2K can end that trend.

    With new console hardware expected to arrive by late 2020, there’s a good chance much of 2K Sports’ design and programming teams are hard at work making the most of new technology. However, that doesn’t excuse the visual and gameplay gaps that shouldn’t be here. That said, NBA 2K20 is still a fantastic basketball sim with enough modes and features to keep fans busy until those revolutionary next steps start to come in over the next few years.
