    As a Huge 2K fan this game really surprised me of how bad it is! The mamba edition has nothing with Kobe which is a bumper just the cover! Controlling the player sucks! It doesn’t have the same feel as the other games! What sucks big time is the shooting that is terrible just wish I could get my money back

    I give it 3 Stars only because it seems identical to 2K20. Overall the gameplay is very smooth and the shooting is a lot better post patch!

    The game is pretty much 2k20.5 the only reason I purchased this is me hoping that next gen 2k that’s being included in this blows me away.

    For this preorder but the nba 2k21 glitches blocked the add ons. Seems to be a usual issue with 2k. The game is very similar to 2k20. So not sure if the upgrade is worth is.

    Pre ordered the game 25 mins before deadline. Had my own copy the next morning ready for curbside pickup. Some issues with 2k and add ons but overall great purchase.

    Wait on this game. It’s still the 2020 season so a big update will happen during the weird offseason. This game will probably go on sale so definitely wait on it!

    The game is great so far. Shooting is a bear, big big learning curve. You will get mad and frustrated but keep grinding. I bought this version so I could get the free next generation game on the Xbox series x. The game should play and look even better when it comes out.

    It's obvious the devs have prioritized next gen over current gen. There are minor tweaks to gameplay and while they have introduced some new mechanics like the shot stick, there is enough change here to justify a full $60. Much of this game is just reskinned from 2k20 but hopefully the next gen game which is included is worth it. But we just wont know until November.

    Game crashes my xbox one x a lot. But that is mostly because my xbox is breaking. Good game but not great.

    Not much different from the previous season but they did add a new shooting feature that is quite interesting. Solid buy.

    The park update is good, the VC earning is what it is but otherwise no other competition so it’s the best out
