A lot of people are gonna try to hate on this because it isn't perfect, but at least 2k gave everyone a legit next gen game to pickup day 1 and be excited about. They at least tried new features, modes, etc to put work into the game. Meanwhile if you enjoy football games, what is EA Sports doing for Madden for next gen? I think anyone who loves football would appreciate this type of effort instead of patting us on the back for updating player cards to show what team they played for🙄
How to easily make 2K a significantly better game and experience. 1. Get rid of Aggressive Micro-transactions 2. Get more servers to fix latency issues for online play. 2K: Nah......
Would you recommend this game to someone who hasn’t played a bball game for 10 years, wants to just play a solid offline season and street mode , w/o getting into micro transactions?
@@zEssentials They don't have common sense. Not only is it different people, but one's a game and the other is a game console. They aren't judged by the same criteria's.
This game legitimately addicts you like a casino. I found myself nearly pulling the trigger on buying VC just to improve in myteam. It’s either that or just a crazy grind. Not worth it either way.
This should not be rated 7, this should be a 4! This kind of disgusting practices need to stop and IGN should not give a decent grade to a game using addictive casino like mechanics to make money off children or adults alike!
I agree, the game is horrible and predatory for its aggressive micro transactions, but do keep in mind they are reviewing a game. They are rating how the gameplay felt in their hands along with the other stuff. You can play this without spending a dollar past purchase. Not saying it should be rated a 7, but horrible microtransactions isn’t their entire score.
1. You don’t play the game. 2. This game is more than its online experience which is awful. 3. As a whole it is legitimately better than past titles with more things to do than sending 2K your wallet. Some people are mentally weak and only want things easy. I play MyNBA though so keep that in mind.
I don't understand how they made LA Noire like 10 years ago and it had one the best face mocap and animation to date and why these game companies dnt use the same technology. I dnt know cos the facial animations in these NBA games are so stiff they always throws me off given that it's supposed to be a graphical showcase🤦🏾
Yall complain about everything every year about 2k but still play it and buy VC. 2k was all about the grind to 99 but yet ppl complain about it and VC came about. Yall want the easy road to 99 but get mad when it takes long. Just enjoy the game or go play something else.
Not trying to defend 2K, but are any of you in the comments even play the game? Or is it just a trend to hate on 2K now, granted they have been greedier over the recent year, but 2K is nowhere as bad as EA, at least 2K focuses on the game’s fundamentals and nail them before focusing on micro transactions. And It is definitely not a casino lmfao.
Ngl I only play Myleague/MyNBA. Whats going on with the game for online play? Is it just terribly laggy and stuff? I'm enjoying myself on MyNBA, only reason I buy 2K tbh. Im liking the gameplay on PS5 so far. Not defending 2K or anything just curious.
They really need to keep making those Phil Collins in the air tonight video trailers. They made me buy nba ( a sport I love but don’t always keep up with) buy the game more often. Those trailers make me want to buy consoles. Bring them back.
It's just sad, that no matter how ridiculous and greedy 2K gets with their microtransactions, their games still sell like crazy, because of these sad brainwashed sport gamers, whose excuse is "it's the only basketball game out there! We HAVE TO BUY IT!". Pathetic.
@@simplyjay0748 Youre not gettting free VC from 2K so its ok, you can be objective and not be so biased. This is why they get away with as much as they do. Whatever they feed you you'll eat.
@Vidal Hodges Yes, beyond the better lighting on the courts and some more detail on the face models (which you dont really notice since you are playing from a far away perspective) graphics are the same.
Sorry but you also forgot about the lag issues plaguing the game as well as rep not being properly given(seriously it's been 3 days and still I'm at 1.6% on over 20 games,smfh),to top it off there's still way to many double teams in games vs CPU and you could easily rack up over 20 assists every game due to the dumb A.I. leaving their man open,and on transition the A.I. still will NOT cover the players going towards the corners fast enough even though they're on full sprint,it makes no sense why all of these problems still exist in well over 10yrs,when are they gonna get it right?,I guess just like a Tootsie Pop,the world may never know lol
The only point to have a huge map is for games that are incredibly detailed and will never get boring. Take red dead for example. It's unnecessary here because you don't play to explore. You play to ball.
To be real 2k lied when they say this game was built from the ground up. It the same game just with better fps and higher resolution. There's new animations BUT it still feels like current gen just slightly smoother. Shooting is better though.
Virtual currency (micro transactions) are only for the my player mode, not for the main game, AND you can progress your player without the virtual currency, it just takes longer.
@Capacchio ... Are you not a sports gamer? Or do you want more development time for sports titles? More importantly they won’t stop because they have to put out a ‘fresh looking’ (not really ‘fresh, new experience, different’) game to keep to sales going - licensed sports games spends millions to acquire the license, and the best way to recoup cost is micro transaction and a new shiny cover that says it’s ‘new and made the current year’. Only consumers that are wise will not spend money on VC or buy the new game. I won’t be getting PS5 and haven’t bought 2k since 19, and I won’t be buying 2k21 because I already see the same gameplay issues.
The myplayer grind is the best part of the 2k games. I wish that they would make it a little easier and completely remove micro transactions for anything in the game. Unfortunately I double they ever will
2k should just take a year off, release an update roster version. And rebuild the game engine. The gameplay and its flaws, the movement has beeen the same for I dont know how long. Sure it looks better, but it plays teh same like 2k did 5 years ago.
With the next gen versions of NBA 2K21. It has faster credit card swiping. Easier microtransactions purchases.
I am surprised they haven't made it automatic to debit your card every time a new pack is released.
Thats what EA and 2k next gen means
What’s funny is the game is rated E. but soliciting gambling to minors is illegal. Or so we thought.

2k should just take a year off, release an update roster version. And rebuild the game engine. The gameplay and its flaws, the movement has beeen the same for I dont know how long. Sure it looks better, but it plays teh same like 2k did 5 years ago.
I expected Ryan to give this game so much flack , honestly I'm just disappointed
Ryan didn't review this game, he only narrated it. Ben Vollmer wrote the review.
Come to think of it. You'd never notice that rockstar and 2k are brothers.
Putrid is the best adjective for microtransaction, bravo
Can't you change your defensive settings to better defend the pick and roll? Don't be so basic y'all.
Game going be fun as you can make superstar players finally but wish it had more classic teams DLC 🏀
Have they fixed superstars being able to dunk over you all game long regardless of fatigue
NBA 2K21, as the name says, you gotta be at least 21 to gamble in this casino simulation with NBA theme.
FIFA really needs to take tips from NBA it has a really detailed single player
As someone thay only plays MyCareer, the progression grind without spending real money is not bad at all
Yeah it's not even hard, you get 1,000 vc every game
1,000 vc gets you about 1 attribute point. Y’all capping. 😂
This game is not a 7 whatsoever. everything about the review was amazing until you said 7. this game as a 4 max
