This a GOOD game... I bought the Mamba Forever Edition and I think it worth every penny. It's very nice Tribute to one of the Best in the game. ALL the extra perks that came with the game were nice touch in my opinion...

The Ps5 version really shows off the true star of the next generation of consoles. And that is the Pa5 controller, you feel every bump,dribble and rebound in the game. Backing players down feels as if you are truly in the game. You can feel the triggers respond and tighten up. The graphics truly are next gen. Also the Ps5 version comes with the full Ps4 version so its 2 games in 1. I usually dont buy 2k much anymore but I had to have both mamba versions #R.I.PBlackMamba

One of the true next gen titles. The graphics are amazing game play a lil bit better than ps4, cause the ai almost mimic real life especially in pick and roll. This is an game after playing having you wonder why didn't all game companies follow suit and build their games from the ground up for next gen. Also suggest watching YouTube videos before blowing your 100,000 vc. Would be nice if 2k would let you respect your character like an rpg.

I ended up purchasing this just for the box art. I had already purchased the PS4 Kobe edition, and was given the PS5 edition from that purchase. I could not pass up the different box are from this edition, since I was a big Laker fan when Kobe was on the team. NBA2k21 is a great game to play if you have played the 2K series. The PS5 version is much more fluid than the PS4 version, and 2K21 is an upgrade from the previous years.

NEXTGEN 2k!!!!! Overall a solid 2k experience, I’d say the best since 11 or 13. The open world is definitely a little overwhelming at first, but it’s definitely a cool experience. The servers have been a little underwhelming, but it’s a brand new next gen game I wouldn’t expect anything less. Game feels great, can’t wait for updates. Overall a great intro into new 2k territory!

2K for the Next Generation

After stagnating for years on current gen hardware, NBA 2K21 is a return to form for the series, even if micro transactions continue to be prevalent across the game. 2K21 looks downright amazing on the PS5, and the attention to detail is unmatched in a 2K game, from the coaches, to the crowd, to the accuracy of the arenas. The gameplay takes full advantage of the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, and although there are still a few kinks that need to be worked out, these new features really serve to compliment the more realistic style of play. MyCareer as always is hit or miss, but if you're big into online play in the park (or city, now), there's enough there for you to enjoy. MyTeam continues to be a time and money sink, and has evolved a bit into a seasonal game mode (like every other GaaS), but again there's enough content to keep you busy for months. MyLeague remains unmatched, and that mode coupled with the amazing gameplay makes 2K21 an easy early purchase for your brand new PS5.

Spend way too much time playing this. Patches have fixed a lot of the bugs that some people experienced when the game first launched. RIP Kobe you are gone but never forgotten.

Amazing game. Graphics are incredible, and the bonus VC and my team content make the game playable right off rip, no need to grind for hours before having competent players. Definitely an upgrade from the 2k's of last gen. Also, the small improvements to player movement make a big difference. Their "procedural steps" and new gameplay engine differentiate this year's game from others. New broadcasters are neat I guess, but I will always prefer Kevin Harlan leading the show.

What better place to purchase a video game from a store by the name of Best Buy? Best Buy has been in business for a very long time to its technology customers from TVs to Advanced Refrigerators. My children has both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, therefore we will continue to purchase many games to come now and the near future, because as customers we are buying products that has great quality and feature.

Best installment of 2K to date, I was dissapointed with the PS4 version I felt like it was 2K20 with updated rosters, but once I got it on the PS5 GAME CHANGER. The City is HUGE, online is something I normally skip over, but i've spent more time in the city and playing against others more with this addition. The Career mode could've use a better storyline, more depth to it, but overall it's an improvement. The Merger of previous modes into 1 gives a robust GM experience.
