Customers are delighted by NBA 2K21's impressive graphics and engaging gameplay, with many praising the storyline and the special edition packaging. Positive feedback also highlights the inclusion of a steelbook case and next-gen upgrade. However, some customers found the shooting mechanics challenging and the price point to be high.

    It’s 2k so everything you expect is there. The park is different in mycareer which is better than last year. No real changes from last year besides the shot meter. Mamba edition lets you play on next gen consoles

    I purchased for my nephew for Christmas. He loves the packaging and the free mamba case the came with. The game itself he says is about the same as other editions. All in all he likes it.

    Great value since you get 100k vc on current gen plus another extra 100k vc on next gen along with the standard digital game version of next gen for a total of 200k vc since vc transfers over

    Same Old 2K

    Love playing this game, always fun to have something new. However, getting the feeling 2k is pushing new games out just for the sake of new games every year. Not a huge upgrade besides the new neighborhood.

    Honestly let down for next gen, the ps4 version was honestly better and more fun to play all around. 2k needs to figure themselves out and their audience, cuz this ain’t it cuz.

    Overall, the game is great. However, I wish there was more clarity on the way items are delivered to the customer. I had to go to Best Buy in two separate occasions to pick up my order.

    The game was a birthday gift for my son and he absolutely loves it!. The best part is that it came with a free gift of high value. I couldn't have been more pleased with this purchase.

    Improvement on 2K20 but hoping Next Gen better

    They fixed some things 2K20 and added some new mechanics, but it is largely the same in presentation. I am hoping this is because they are putting a lot more effort into the PS5 game. Time will tell.

    Delayed Contents

    Purchasing the game from bestbuy wasn't an issue. In all actuality, it ended up being the best part of the experience. I purchased this edition b/c of its contents [additional incentives]. After rcvn the game and loading it, I found that none of the incentives were provided towards my NBA 2K account. Long story shortened, it took me 8 days after I purchased and each of those days sending different info to them to finally get NBA2K21 tech support to release it to me. It was a freakin hassle that I still feel was setup that way to discourage people from pursuing it.

    I like NBA 2K. I am glad I was able to buy the Mamba Forever Edition because it was sold out everywhere. I am glad that i was able to receive a free gift with purchase of the game.

    I haven’t been able to play it too much, but I’ve enjoyed it so far. The MyTeam mode has gotten so big that it’s getting a little overwhelming, but the locker codes make it much easier.

    Not a huge difference from 2K20. The neighborhood is different but the MyCareer is essentially the same as last year. The prelude/story before making it to the NBA was pretty fun.

    It’s a little different than the previous 2k but graphics aren’t the best and still has some minor glitches. The ps5 version is said to be a bigger upgrade than the one on ps4

    Its great because they constantly update & since we all know how scarce the ps5 is ... we knew all big updates to the franchise would be for the next gen.

    The game is exactly what I expected. A pre-version of the PS5. Game mechanics are much smoother and the shot stick is nice in my opinion. I enjoy it as a whole.

    It was overall a great delivery besides it was a day late. I understand why it was a day late because of COVID and I also got a warning about it might be delayed

    The staff at Best Buy-Hoover was so professional. They directed me to the pick up location and I was in and out. It took me about 5 minutes to pick up my item.

    The game is practically the same. A reskinned my team and my career but it works and the game is good. However, it may be worth the wait to wait for the Ps5 version.
