From a gameplay perspective, there's no denying that NBA 2K20 reigns supreme as the best basketball game you'll want to play this year. Sadly, 2K Games seems to be expanding its microtransaction plague throughout the experience to a point that it feels oppressive. Still if you're able to wade through the muck and deal with the advertisements and pay-to-win modes, you won't be disappointed by the stellar updates and excellent presentation you've come to expect.

NBA 2K20 will continue to be supported by its giant community and hailed as a true NBA simulation.

NBA 2K20 feels like the smallest leap that the series has made in years, even if the core gameplay still remains enjoyable.

This new NBA 2K iteration isn't a new step forward for the the franchise. Gameplay is still good and demanding, MyCareer well-written, but there's not much that's feeling new and memorable.

NBA 2K20’s absurd production values put it alongside MLB The Show 19 as the most convincing sports game on the market, and its under-the-hood gameplay improvements mean it’s the best-playing basketball simulation ever made.

NBA 2K20 remains a solid basketball title and something that fans of the sport are bound to enjoy. But the game seems designed to pressure players into pumping extra money so they don't have to spend an ungodly amount of time grinding, and that dampens the arena atmosphere.

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

If you don't care about competitive modes and go for NBA experience, it's still the best option there is. But if you like competitive modes and/or bought previous years games should think twice before spending full price money. This series requires a renewal now.

NBA 2K20 excels at recreating real-world basketball, but loses focus off of the court.

A great game, as always, with a bad in-game purchases system and few aging problems.

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.

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.

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.

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