If you engage with the modes 2K seems to want to push most, you’ll have to deal with baggage that weighs down the experience.

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.

MyTeam greed and issues abound undercut an otherwise excellent sports sim.

NBA 2K20‘s MyCareer is a huge disappointment, and other modes have had minor improvements at best. All you’re really paying for is roster updates, WNBA and the opportunity to buy more VC. If that sounds like a good deal to you then jump in, but it really shouldn’t.

The developers clearly went too far with microtransactions - without them playing is very uncomfortable. NBA 2K20 gives the impression of a free-to-play game with different currencies and requiring a constant infusion of real cash. The final nail in the coffin hammered the constant problems caused by the connection to the server, which you can't play the game or losing the progress. It's just trash.

Hiding the nasty microtransactions and adding some welcome new additions has lead to the best game of ball of this generation. It isn’t perfect, but it isn’t the monetary predator it has been for the last few years.

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

And yet year after year 2K, despite intense fan protest online, turn the dial up and try to squeeze everyone just a little bit more. Clearly there are millions of fans who either don’t care, or are at least willing to suffer through it all, and it’s for these players that 2K is happy to continue building their entire game around the central conceits of microtransactions and advertising.

A great basketball simulator that adds a lot of features in every aspect of the game and stands at the top of the sport genre.

As someone who loves basketball and NBA 2K, it hurts me to have such a negative opinion on the current state of the game. I want to be able to recommend this game to everyone and I hope the devs fix everything soon. When it works, NBA 2K20 is one of the best in the entire series, but those moments are too few and far between.
