Great game for my grandson. He enjoys learning new plays and organizing teams. Great incentive for coaching. He knows if he wants to play his grades must be in good standing. Meaning all A's. Once he completes assignments he can play. So he's extremely confident about making great grades.

Bought for my son who gets NBA2K every year as an early birthday gift. He is also looking forward to the next gen edition featuring Kobe 24 because it is also his 24th birthday. We will be purchasing the PS5 system along with the game as well. Happy with this purchase.

I’m a big NBA 2K fan, but this year was even more special because of the Mamba Forever edition. Not only does it commemorate Kobe but it also includes a voucher for the download of the PS5 version of this game.

No better way to celebrate the life and legacy of the late Kobe Bryant!!! NBA 2K21 does that with the Mamba Edition for the PS4. On top of that, this version includes the standard digital edition for the PS5 when it launches!! It's like getting 2 games for 1.

Haven’t played NBA 2k for a while, but when I saw the preview and played the beta it looks good. Plus I got the game because of Kobe I’m a big fan of him and the lakers. Great game, good graphics and good gameplay. Can’t wait to play this in the next gen console.

long time 2k head. And honestly 2k21 is a decent game. I feel its better then 2k20.
They still need to fix certain issuse in the game to make it more enjoyable.
This is holding me over til 2k21 on the ps5.
Thats where all the real hype is going to be at!

Sick graphics. The mamba. Black mamba. Mambacito. There’s a lot of Kobe references in the game is what I’m saying. I dig it. You probably will too if you’re still reading this. Do you play Tetris too? We could probably be friends!

Overall really happy about the game. Plays really well. Lots of typical 2k fun. I got the mamba edition and was a little bothered by the scuffed presentation. It looked like a used copy when I preordered it new. Overall still a great game.

Looks great on the PS4 and I cannot wait to see the PS5 version that I got with the purchase here. Lots of micro transactions but I stay away from those for the most part. Great franchise and MyGM mode keep me busy.

Despite the revamped shooting mechanics, this year's version has slicker and smoother graphics. Expanded storyline for MyCareer and tons of new features in MyTeam...definitely worth picking up if you're a NBA2K fan.

Got lucky and found the last copy at my local bestbuy to the point that even the cashier was shocked to see. Had to have it as a big Laker fan. Can't wait to get my hands on a PS5 to add the digital version.

Great game however steelbook was bent when received. It was a Christmas gift for my son and I didn't believe it would have made it on time for exchange. Improve the shipping package for next time. Overall good game.

Everything went smooth. The only thing is that I ordered 2 copies of the Mamba Legend for $100 and only got 1 Steel book. Had I known that I would have ordered them separately now I got 2 kids and 1 box

The game is excellent overall because of the different modes that are updated. The only issue that needs to be fixed might be the shooting which might get solved in the future title updates.

I thought the game was extremely fun, there was a slight learning curve since it is a new game. However, once you learn how to play the game fully you'll soon realize it's very fun to play

My grandson was ecstatic to get it. Some issues with the shooting but he will be fine. He didn't want to wait for the PS5 version since he doesn't know if he will be fortunate enough to get one.
