    I have been playing NBA since NBA 2k16. And every year I can see the great work they do. I've been pre-ordering my games at Best Buy for 3 years.

    The game is amazing. We asked for a different experience than last year and 2K has delivered. The gameplay is smooth. MyCAREER‘s storyline is interesting, much more captivating than last year’s. New MyTEAM additions make the mode worth trying out. I’m excited to see what 2K does on next gen. Luckily for everyone who’s purchased mamba edition we’ll receive the PS5 version upon release, at no additional charge. This game does simulation basketball right and honors the late great Kobe Bryant in a tremendous way. Long Live The Mamba 8/24.

    This game looks similar to last year with a very short but good mycareer story. They changed few things, the new shoot meter is ok if you aren't playing online. I mean you can easy shoot with the right stick but online you have no time to see the meter and adjust it, I hope they fix that. Otherwise you are mostly shooting blind with memory muscle. I like the new ray traced reflections in the courts of myteam triple threat, that's where it looks better than last year. Well I played it on ps4 pro I'm not sure if regular ps4 has those ray traced reflections as well. I got the mamba edition it comes with 100k vc and a bunch of packs if you like that. The ps5 version is also included and it won't carry over mycareer it's suppose to have a new one. I hope it is more packed with stuff. I don't mean this one is bad actually I like it more than last year, it's just it felt less worked all around. The gameplay is polished, a little bit harder in certain modes, but overall a great game to just chill or play with folks

    If you play the Nba 2k games you know what you are getting when you purchase the newer version. This year the graphics are better and they added an even better story mode for myplayer. Also has the next gen upgrade so if you’re getting a ps5 no need to purchase again.

    I bought it because of the Kobe Bryant tribute. I wish it would have been just came with a steelbox case instead of having two cases to take up shelf space. Overall, shooting and free throws are different this year and the game play is really nice on defense.

    Lucky/Blessed to obtain a PS5 and man the upgrade is well worth it! Graphics are amazing and gameplay is right on! Can't wait for game developers to really showcase what their games will look/play like in the upcoming year and on.

    When it’s clicking, NBA 2K21 has some of the best gameplay in sports video game history. But that’s been true for several years now, and though this year’s iteration improves on a handful of things, most notably the aimed shooting mechanic, there hasn’t been much movement. At the same time, it’s a shame that 2K’s focus isn’t on the fun you can have on the court, but instead the money that can be extracted from your wallet off of the court in the MyCareer and MyTeam modes, which just aren’t fun to grind through without paying. Maybe the new set of consoles on the horizon will bring a fresh start for the NBA 2K franchise, but right now I feel more pessimistic about the series’ future than ever.

    I have 2K20 and this game feels a lot smoother. Shooting is a bit different but easier to dunk. The steelbook is also a nice piece of art to have as a Kobe memory.
