NBA 2K24 Reviews
NBA 2K24 is one of those titles difficult to judge and above all to which to attribute a numerical value that can balance its great playful goals and disappointing greed.

NBA 2K24 is still a good option to enjoy basketball on our consoles. Fun gameplay, enough game modes to entertain you for hundreds of hours and the possibility of reliving the most iconic moments of Kobe Bryant's career. As we said, NBA 2K24 seeks to play simple. Pick and Roll and tray to board, we do not need more.

NBA 2K24 has made several noteworthy improvements, like its addition of ProPLAY, which amps up the realism, and a modern approach to the game's presentation that makes it feel fresh. However, it's disappointing that the otherwise fantastic simulation experience is marred by the game's microtransactions, transforming it into a pay-to-win model. Unless you are a basketball enthusiast who wants to collect every title in the NBA 2K series, it's best to skip NBA 2K24.
No two basketball games play out the same, and the same can be said for NBA 2K24's variety of modes and features. ProPlay was a welcome addition to the overall feel of the gameplay, adding an extra level of realism. Some modes work extremely well, like The W, and others like the career mode fizzle out, but overall the gameplay itself is great. Unfortunately, having microtransactions at what feels like every corner is a real letdown for something that otherwise has real potential.
NBA 2K24's lack of meaningful updates and continued overwhelming presence of microtransactions make it feel like it's going through the motions and doesn't have anything to say.
NBA 2K24 shows that there is a bigger problem with gaming today. While you can get a good game out there if you decide to make it into a “games as a service” model with the main goal being purchased over skill, the game itself gets lost under an avalanche of hate because of corporate greed. NBA 2K24 is the game that shows this to be true. As a game, NBA 2K24 is the same great game it always is, but the hard push for you to open your wallet hurt the game too much overall… And Michael Jordan is the GOAT.
NBA 2K24 is the most NBA 2K game you could imagine, rocking moderate improvements to gameplay without really providing offering anything exciting enough to entice lapsed fans back onto the court.
NBA 2K24 is, at least on consoles, an interesting product. It is a good chapter that presents some very appreciable innovations. The gameplay system, for example, is perhaps one of the best we've seen over the years, the difficulty in the game is commensurate with the level chosen, player control has improved, and the same goes for the AI.

As good as the basketball can be when you're in the thick of the action, the pervasive presence of microtransactions threatens to ruin the entire appeal of the game's flagship modes. In MyCareer, you're not only all but required to purchase virtual currency to improve your attributes as in the past but now will need to buy a season pass or else run the risk of having your trusty badges regress to the point where they're almost useless. MyTeam's card-collecting mode has a similar pay-to-win framework where you can purchase level rewards or spend what feels like an eternity trying to unlock them instead. Both MyCareer and MyTeam have an offline component to offer some consolation, but taking your skills online will likely have you at a competitive disadvantage against anyone with deep pockets.
Despite some issues and a weaker entry than last year, there's still plenty to enjoy in NBA 2K24. The gameplay continues to be refined with smart tweaks, and the visuals are among the best in the genre. However, the continued push of microtransactions continues to leave a sour taste, and MyCareer is a disappointment this time out.
After Michael Jordan, the main character of the current NBA season is Kobe Bryant. But if you want more changes in game, you will be disappointed. And the fun is still spoiled by microtransactions.

NBA 2K24 is a solid Basketball sim that offers tons of content, and the new ProPlay animation technology takes the gameplay to a whole new level, making it one of the most complete NBA games we've seen in recent memory.

For better or worse, NBA 2K continues to get its way and this year's installment is no exception. If you are an NBA fan looking for a traditional gaming experience to take your favorite team to the top. However, you should know that the full enjoyment of everything that NBA 2K24 offers is limited by its already traditional, and not at all pleasant, transactions.

Under normal circumstances, it would be a game I would recommend to any basketball fan with my eyes closed, but now it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth with its monetization model that pushes the limits of tolerance. Still, it's clearly the best basketball game to play right now.

Pay-to-win mechanics aside, NBA 2K24 is a solid basketball sim with unrivalled authenticity; just don't expect a huge leap forward from last year's title.
despite delivering a acceptable experience, NBA 2K24 focuses too much on microtransactions and leaves little space for normal progression. and on top of that, it's basically the same game as previous year, with some small additions like Mamba Moments. If you're a die hard fan of basketball, you'll have a blast playing NBA 2K24, but you'll be hardly surprised

There’s enough enjoyability in the gameplay department to overlook the heavy cloud of microtransactions that’s around every corner of the game
NBA 2K24 is both an incredible basketball simulator at its best on the court and a game tainted by the glut of microtransactions it tries to sell to players. While all modes deliver plenty of content and are long, long-lasting experiences, their success for the player depends heavily on your tolerance for someone trying to sell you something all the time.

NBA 2K24 is a good game, perhaps the boldest in recent years in some respects. For those looking to play peacefully without much online competition, it offers a solid and enjoyable experience. However, multiplayer modes are complex and bogged down by features that complicate rather than balance the game, with micro-transactions creating high barriers. The overall experience is solid and nearly realistic. It could be a great first entry for newcomers, but may not offer enough new content to justify a purchase for veterans.

There is no doubt that NBA 2K24 is once again the best presented sports game on the market, and it is also probably the most comprehensive, with a dizzying selection of modes and features that manage to satisfy all playing styles and tastes. The gameplay surprises, with small additions that certainly make it more accessible. Again, it's a shame that microtransactions are so pronounced, but unfortunately it seems that the developer doesn't want to know about reducing them. That said, NBA 2K24, thanks also to the Mamba Moments, which allow you to relive some iconic Kobe Bryant matches, is definitely worth the price of the ticket.
