Still, NBA 2K20 would have been better off by focusing on its complex modes like MyLeague and cleaning up MyTeam to be less dependent on microtransactions. M圜areer also continues to improve in small and noticeable ways, setting a new standard for story modes in sports games. The inclusion of the WNBA may be this year’s biggest step forward, especially because it does an excellent job showcasing the many gameplay improvements from last year. What We Said Last Year NBA 2K20 Verdict By Ben Vollmer, SeptemNBA 2K continues its tradition of upping already tremendous gameplay, emulating the real-life sport in ways that didn’t seem possible just years ago. The changes aren’t always visually apparent, but it helps improve the already solid gameplay. Chaining moves together, like a step back with James Harden into a Eurostep, is more natural than it was before. In general, dribbling feels more responsive and rarely leads to the awkward, uncontrollable animations that have plagued the franchise for years. Being able to focus on creating space for myself using the right stick without worrying about accidentally flinging up a shot is a substantial improvement.

“As a side benefit, the right stick now has a full range of motion for dribbling, including pressing forward for signature size-ups like Jamal Crawford’s exaggerated crossover and behind-the-back moves. The best part is that it’s really difficult to master and resets the learning curve for experienced players in a beneficial way, and hitting a green shot – which requires nailing the target in the meter that appears when you hold down the right stick – is tremendously satisfying. My favorite addition is the new shot-stick aiming, which allows for the challenge of actually aiming shots rather than just timing them. The addition of shot-stick aiming and a M圜areer reskin are nice improvements, but it’s becoming harder to ignore the lack of upgrades to key game modes while the focus on monetization only intensifies.Between the baskets, NBA 2K21 features a handful of small upgrades but is otherwise extremely familiar if you’ve played any of the recent-year iterations. Of course, it repeats the sins of its predecessor as well: Off the court, NBA 2K21 remains a disjointed mess and riddled with noxious pay-to-win microtransactions that leave a bad taste in my mouth. That’s good in some ways: none of the minor changes have done anything to spoil the exceptional on-court experience, which accurately emulates the play and style of NBA basketball. You hear this said about annualized sports games every year, but this year it has a lot more truth to it than usual: NBA 2K21 is more of the same.
