    NBA 2k20 I found be very similar last years game. Sure there have been a few tweaks but the overall formula has remained largely unchanged. Not that it's a bad game, it just needs some taking out and dusting iff to make it feel fresh and overly exciting again. The game is still great in the fact it does do so much right like previous years rendition. I just want to see a sports gameNBA 2k20 I found be very similar last years game. Sure there have been a few tweaks but the overall formula has remained largely unchanged. Not that it's a bad game, it just needs some taking out and dusting iff to make it feel fresh and overly exciting again. The game is still great in the fact it does do so much right like previous years rendition. I just want to see a sports game finally come out that that you are just like wow this is definitely a 10/10. I have fond memories of the old sports games and I played them an excitement like no other, no micro-transactions or and its was just all about pure fun and putting your victories in your friends or family members faces. NBA 2k20 is light years ahead of what we use to play but that same level of fun can be appreciated and recreated today people just need to stop worrying about how they can possibly be that disappointed the the small tweaks and the basketball game they go out every year and buy, enjoy it for what it is a fun experience that is brought you you year after year and stop rating games 0.8/10. The new consoles are upon next holiday season, I think we're in for a fantastic time and I think just maybe were going to see that 9/10 or maybe even that 10/10 basketball experience. I'm super stoked too see what next year holds in store fun and new gaming experience. If you enjoyed last years offering you will have no issues enjoying NBA 2K20 either.… Expand

    1. There’s some bugs with the progress bars not going up. There’s also workarounds. 2. The loading times are atrocious. Those are the only major issues. The rest of the complaints are from exploiters who can’t adjust to having to play fairly to win. They finally got exposed with this game and the scores show it. Side note, AI in general can be dumb.

    Everybody yelling about Casino Game is hopefully aware that this is only true for MyTeam (Ultimate Team) Mode. Just don‘t play that, it has nothing to do with Basketball!!

    The rest is pretty much the best Game 2K has released in years, so give it a try and if you love the game of Basketball spend 100dreds of hours enjoying it!

    Beautiful game. Gambling and no new parks is the best thing ever since Angela Anaconda became a Digimon Character!

    This is a decent game, some don’t even watch basketball. This game has a major improvement from last years gameplay, most people screaming about parks must want more latency in the servers, keep in mind every one is rating off the launch to be honest it still is too early to rate this game I’ll give it a 10/10

    This game is well made and i enjoys a lot. you all only care about my career. but theres my team play know and blacktop. If you you hate then game so much then go play roblox basketball. Reasons for 8-10 rating: un lifelike features and ronnie 2gay lies.

    This is not a bad game. It has more depth in MyLeague than Madden fans could ever dream of. Sure, it has a lot of micro transactions, but it has so much depth and if Madden had a career mode like this one, they would monetize it.

    Buen simulador de baloncesto.
    Los gráficos no han avanzado demasiado desde la anterior entrega.
    Tiene varios modos de juego. NEGATIVO: - El sistema de grindeo para mejorar a tu jugador, como muchos han comentado, llega a ser un poco frustante si quieres tomartelo en serio y subir rapido a tu jugador. - El sistema de comentarios en Español está un poco forzado. - Algunos tirones en    Buen simulador de baloncesto.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People say “it’s a casino for kids” when really it’s the parents fault for letting their kids buy stuff and not monitoring. Anyways i’ll get on with it,


    The gameplay is unmatched. You will never find better gameplay. MyLeague:
    It’s always fun to try to rebuild your favorite team and take them to the finals, making blockbuster trades, rebuilding a team from the ground by trading all your superstar / good players for draft picks, signing free agents to play a bench role or to lead your team, and the Summer League, 2K Summit (pretty much an all star game for the rookies coming into the draft.) and Training camps; Improving your players skills OR increasing their potential. I’m not a WNBA Fan, but it does suck that you can only do 1 season with a WNBA team, and then restarting directly after the playoffs. I hope a myleague for the WNBA is in the works for those want it.

    MyCareer has a good storyline, I can’t say much about MyTeam though.    … 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.
