Customers are saying

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.

    Game is a duplicate of 2K20 and a total money grab

    It is clear to see that 2K did not put any effort into the current-get version of this game, and are putting their efforts towards the next-generation platforms.

    They completely screwed up the shooting in game. No updates to franchise mode. My team has to much going on

    Bought for my husband because he’s a Kobe fan. He expected a lot more out of this game. I believe he was more disappointed than excited to have it.

    I purchased the 2k21 game and it did not have any bonuses in the game as advertised. 2k21 does this ever year. I will no longer purchase any 2k games because they lie every year about their games and bonuses

    Hi, I bought this for my son. He said that there was nothing extra included in the game as advertised and everyone online had the same issue. He emailed some help desk for assistance. In the future I will buy a regular game not the one $100+ very disappointed.

    I am very unhappy. It was the right game but for the wrong game console. Nephews could not play. Their mother is having to come to store to exchange it. I hope she has no problem. I have been happy with service until now. Children were disappointed.

    Another miss step in a terrible franchise. 2k's monopoly has ruined modern basketball. You basically feel like you're gambling more than playing basketball. 2K use to make revolutionary basketball games, now they turn players into slot machines.

    I waited for 2 weeks to get the steelbook 2k21 and only to have it cancelled the day of pick up. Very disappointed considering how much I have recently spent at this location. Will consider buying me PS5 elsewhere
