I’m tired of complaining about this game but it’s a big no from me. While the gameplay is still classic NBA 2K, this iteration has nothing new or exciting going for it.

As for the base game itself. It’s a good game. And this is coming from a fan’s perspective who is more willing to grind out their VC in MyCareer games. Obviously, it’s going to be a ridiculously long grind, but that’s sort of the idea, right? Give us players this long journey, but if you inject some more money into it, the game’s going to be much more fun and rewarding. At least the card pack animations for getting incredibly rare cards looks cool. This is one game that I recommend for the NBA die-hard fan. And probably only them.

Apart from the grossly blatant grab at player’s wallets, NBA 2K20 remains as an institution for not just basketball but for sports games.

NBA 2K20 is excellent for that single-player basketball experience, but if you want multi-player, be prepared to risk frustration.

While the Czech team has been awarded the maximum number of points for their performance at the World Championship, the latest GAME in the NBA 2K series has been awarded 7 points out of 10, which is two points less than the previous title. Gameplay has never been better, but mictrotransactions, minor technical problems, and especially the deplorable MyCareer pull the game down. The question is how much the developers are to blame and how much the greed of 2K is responsible for the overall state. Fortunately, the whole issue has recently been talked about a lot more and perhaps will fundamentally affect the next iteration.

NBA2K0 is worth your money if you focus on the game itself and not on the superficial things you can buy with your VC in MyCareer or in MyTeam. Because even as its aging graphics engine speaks to a need for a shake-up, NBA 2K20 is still undeniably the best you can get when it comes to basketball sims.

For the second year in a row it is difficult for me to recommend an NBA 2K title, even though the series practically has no competitor. Improvements to the gameplay, though minor, are present and the content is still

NBA 2K20 can be easily recommended to basketball fans. If you are not familiar with the franchise, still the gameplay can be well with you. The myCareer section also shows that storytelling can be successful in sports. However, the publisher's lucrative policies of pushing the audience to pay real money for in-game virtual currency was a misconception that gamers have objected to. Although this year's dose has dropped slightly (only in the myCareer section), its footprint in the most important online game mode, myTeam, can be seen as an insult to the audience.

The series has not taken very significant steps during the recent years and each new title brings small improvements in the gameplay compared to last year. And this year NBA2K20 is for the most part an excellent basketball simulator.

There is a silver lining to all of this: the online issues can probably be fixed. There have already been patches to the game to help eliminate the glitches and smooth everything out. If 2K20 can work these things out early on, it'll cement itself as one of the most enjoyable installments in the entire franchise.
