    The Mamba edition case is great looking. The game itself is mostly the same as any other nba 2k. The neighborhood is slightly different but it still has a lot of the same glitches and almost nothing is different than nba 2k19 and 2k20

    Picking it up on release date was pretty easy and simple. The only issue I had with this game was waiting over 3 weeks to receive all the VC & extra things that was promised with the preorder of the Mamba Edition.

    It’s the same game every year. There are definitely bugs that need fixing. I purchased the Mamba package and didn’t receive the free VC for almost 2 weeks. The controls are lacking and slow to react sometimes.

    Not worth it if you are going to purchase a ps5 it is generally a copy and paste of 2K20 but still is relatively fun for fans of sports gaming.

    I purchased this solely for the Kobe cover & case the game is a disappointment. I'm not sure if they drop this on current gen just to satisfy fans, but its not satisfying its essentially 2K20 2.0

    The game works great. But, When I picked it up from store the steel case that was free came dented and the order sticker label was placed on game cover which peeled the paint from cover art.

    Very disappointed in this game when it came out. I bought it with the upgrade addition so still haven't played it on PS5 but as of right now I can see why its on sale.

    I knew what i was buying when i got this game. A tweaked version of the game i bought last year. Not bad but not any better. Mainly purchased to get the PS5 version later.

    Decent gameplay. Microtransactions, unskippable ads, and bugs set the game back. They didn’t even have to do the roster update for the launch of the game since there are no new rookies that have been drafted yet with that extra time they still released an unfinished game with recycled animations and other assets and nothing new except for higher prices on microtransactions making them megatransactions

    Last year was much better, too hard to shoot. 2k needs to make a update to fix shooting

    The shooting has been tweaked but 2K essentially copied and pasted last years version of the game. Hopefully the PS5 version will be better.

    Few things led to the poor rating. Unfortunately, I couldn't give a single star. It came with 2 DVD packs, but one was just an empty cover. Huge price of $100+ for 1 game. Misleading cover with Kobe's picture with no participation of Kobe in the game. Actual star of the game has his own game, selling for 1/2 the price of this one. You figure!!!.

    This will be a great game once the NBA season turns over with roster and uniform updates. Worth buying but wait a few months.

    NBA 2K 21 is the same as usual except with a twist the park is different but it still feels like copy and paste.
