Aug 16, 2023This game was fun. It's nothing special but I enjoyed it when I played it. I feel like there could be more to it, but it gets the job done I guess.

Mar 10, 2022This is just NBA Jam except you can't kill people anymore. If they wanted to innovate they should've added a gun

Apr 24, 2021A good basketball game, with problems. The game is like an update, but this is the first NBA 2K I’ve played. The gameplay is good, and season is fun to play through. Picking a favorite team is easy, and trades are easy as well. It is fun, but is repetitive to play through a long season.

Apr 5, 2021I 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.

Sep 6, 2020Please save your money and wait for next years next gen version for an upgrade. Nba 2K20 was the last realistic upgrade to current gen and The first next gen will be bare.

Sep 1, 2020An absolutely painful experience. Impossible to score more than a few points a game. It trivializes video gameplay and offers the user an impossible grind. Hands own the worst game I have ever played. Don't get me started on the pay to play....
-
Aug 30, 2020Don’t buy this game it’s keep kicking me out saying I need WiFi connection when my Xbox has WiFi
-
Aug 22, 2020Although 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.

Jul 27, 20202k Continues to be the best sports game out there, while people won't agree, the series is still going to the at the top.
-
Jul 5, 2020Clearly the worst sports game ever created. 1. AI is way too good at the game
2. Controls are really difficult to get used to
3. TOO REALISTIC -

Jun 4, 2020Game is **** trash. Especially MyPlayer. 2k should be ashamed of themselves for putting out such a god awful game. I don’t even write reviews but I had to tell everyone how trash it was. Worst 2k of the last decade. Only thing good about it is that the graphics are ok. B+ at best graphics. Everything else **** sucks. **** NBA2K20 AND RONNIE 2K

Sep 15, 2019Es muy adictivo, muy recomendable si te gusta la nba, y lo aue dicen que es un casino no tiene jafa que ver, no hace falta pagar para progresar

May 6, 2020This games eats arse. none of my friends like it, the game play and dribbling is **** i made a slasher with a **** 95 driving dunk and i couldn't even dunk on my friends smurf that had a 50 block and 60 contest. DO NOT BUY. Shooting is very flawed because a someone with a 45 three can pull up in your eyes and drain it. **** me i want to kill whoever coded and let this game pass.
-
May 3, 2020Worst 2k ive ever played ive never seen a game play so bad and this is animation based so its not even logic based smh if 21 is that bad im never supporting 2k again.
-
Apr 29, 2020Banean de la noche a la mañana sin que hayas jugado ese día ....en mi caso he aparecido baneado por la mañana se produjo a las 6:18 de la mañana y esa noche no había jugado desde el día anterior es una vergüenza pagar por algo y que te saquen sin respuesta y encima escribas al support y te digan que tardarán en responder por que hay muchas solicitudes
-
Apr 28, 2020So... where to start. Game is anoying from the very begining. Before u can start u need to type in ur email. Not once but twice. On ur controller. Yup. This pissed me off big time. Few minutes later after one game i e uninstalled it. Its not worth the aggro. I got it of game pass. Game is not worth downloading. Its double dog **** Pile of wank. Have a lovely day!

Apr 21, 2020And... I very much should have looked at these user reviews before purchasing and not Critic Reviews, the game looks great but is very much garbage with not just bugs, but the controls for shot releases and more...
-
Apr 20, 2020What a complete broken buggy mess. Face scan is a complete disaster. This game is absolutely not worth you time. How it got an 80 from the "critics" boggles my mind. What a joke. I will never by a 2k game again the rest of my life is the quality of product they produce.

Mar 2, 2020This game is **** garbage. Can’t make a shot with any kind of rating high or low, the passing has terrible flow and the computer controlled players act like they’re missing all their chromosomes.
-
Feb 17, 2020This 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.

Jan 19, 2020When 2k 20 first came out it was bad but now it’s ok now I enjoy when I play it
-
Jan 18, 2020Terrible micro transactions and if an opponent leaves your match you can lose even if you were ahead. What a lazy game.
-
Jan 8, 2020As of today, I have broken 3 controllers and TV over this game. Having bought every 2k since 2k6, I vow to never buy a game from this garbage, cash-grabbing franchise again.

Dec 5, 2019The game is so inconsistent, and the only thing they get remotely correct is 'fast = good, slow = bad'. It seems as if the only part of this game is the soundtrack. The ai will green anything and everything, but 2k will throw you full white glitches whenever you shoot
-
Nov 24, 2019Thus is the worst 2k to ever be put out or even created do not buy it is the worst game to come out this year so fat

Nov 17, 2019This 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

Nov 12, 2019This 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.
-
Nov 6, 2019Easily worst 2k of all time. Worst than 2k19 at almost every single aspect possible. Also worth mentioning my career mode is unplayable without spending at least another 25 dollars on the game. why should we be surprised though, 2k milking us for our money has become the norm. This game is also probably why ronnie2k can’t get any girls.
-
Nov 5, 2019Shameful display of greed...
Expected a basketball game and ended up with a gambling game....
What was a nice my favorite game is turning into the greed machine that is madden -
Nov 5, 2019This 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.
-
Nov 4, 2019Pretty **** game, very buggy and never works right. All these games are just a way to make money and pay to win, officially done with the 2k franchise and playing games that I don’t have to pay / grind my ass off to play
-

Nov 2, 2019This game is beyond trash just retire already the damage is done I haven’t played 2K since 17 and for the past 3 years I’m glad I never played 2K y’all falsely advertised about the game, we still have the weak ass archetypes, we are still limited and all y’all care about is money 2K y’all fell off and y’all need a reality check and do is all a favor fire Ronnie’s **** ass

Oct 27, 2019This game has gone to a new low
Bigs can't do nothin
Guards can't dribble
New badges are doodoo
Smothereds go in 100% of the time and light contests never go in
Badges take years to get New build system is trash Mycareer there's constant double teams and bad ai VC is overpriced No New park/neighbourhood/reps Games trash -
Oct 27, 2019Everybody should be fired I mean Jesus this game is horrible, who wants to play this piece of ****
-
Oct 9, 20192K needs to stop making annual sporting titles. Each year, the actually good content progressively deteriorates and is replaced by a mess of microtransactions and bugs.

Sep 29, 2019This 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
-
Sep 28, 2019Beautiful game. Gambling and no new parks is the best thing ever since Angela Anaconda became a Digimon Character!
-
Sep 24, 2019Broken game, outright gambling.
NBA2k 2019 -> NBA2k 2020 === NBA2k 0.0.1 -> NBA2k 0.0.2 -
Sep 22, 2019This game is all about gambling. They took to much time to create ways to take your money they forgot what basketball is
-
Sep 21, 2019This game is laughably piece of garbage. Dont buy it, stop beeing a npc shill
-
Sep 21, 2019Broken gambling trash which is a shame because when this is working or you’re not being enticed with simulated gambling the basketball play is very good.
-
Sep 20, 2019Everybody 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! -
Sep 20, 2019Is this a Casino simulator? Wow.. This is a new low for the gaming industry. Shame on you ESRB for rating it an "E for Everyone" game. This itself is enough to rate this trash 0/10. We are not even talking about the buggy launch. If this goes on, 10 years from now swiping a credit card would be the game itself (nothing else).
-
Sep 20, 2019Fricking exploitation of people. Fricking exploitation of people. Fricking exploitation of people.
-
Sep 20, 2019It's a buggy laggy mess. Constant bugs and freezing on every game mode. The online multiplayer is typical 2k quality (not good). It's yet another pay to win sports game.
-
Sep 20, 2019This game is clearly rated wrong. There is clearly gambling in it. DONT BUY THIS GAME!!!!

Sep 17, 2019Casino for kids! I love how in my city you can't even buy tobacco without being 21, but here you go kids. Learn this awesome addicting habit of gambling!
-
Sep 17, 2019Yeah so this game made no mechanical improvements, it’s poorly made and not improved since 2k19. They barely fixed any glitches in the new update and in career it keeps on randomly making a game impossible to shoot in. I have a 95 ovr 3 point shot and in certain games I shoot with near perfect release wide open and it’ll let me make 1 out of 5 of them at best. Stupid game don’t buy it
-
Sep 9, 2019You can full on gamble real money for rewards. Unacceptable for a paid “basketball” game. I highly encourage everyone reading this to boycott the game and do not purchase.

Oct 1, 2019Overall, 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.
-
Oct 1, 2019The 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.
-
Sep 23, 2019With 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.
