    They took a step back this year as the game is just infuriating instead of entertaining

    The game is fun, I enjoy it. But this is the first and last time that I’ll be buying a bonus version of their game. 2k Support still hasn’t resolved the missing VC situation. So don’t buy this game unless you want to deal with a headache

    Step Back From Years Past

    After purchasing 2K for the last 14 years, and continuously coming back to it, this year will be the last of our tortured relationship. 2K has become increasingly dependent on microtransactions, particularly for MyPlayer and MyTeam, where one must spend additional money to be competitive, but I digress, as that was a known going in. What really turned me off this year was the barriers to entry made to the single player modes, should one wish to avoid the post launch cash grabs, as well as the multiple issues at launch (missing content, frequent crashes, unplayable for beginners). The new shooting mechanic and resulting gameplay is not enjoyable, and has made me take my hardwood-tinted glasses off and see this for what it is.

    If you like playing MyLeague then skip 2K21...nothing has changed from 2K20. It's terrible. They updated MyPlayer and MyTeam only. Probably wouldn't have bought it, had I known earlier.

    Best buy is a great store with great service but nba2k21 for current generation is not worth the money. My suggestion would be wait for next generation if you can.

    This was supposed to include many, MANY, extras for buying th $100 version. Might not even bother trying to get vindication because that's how its stressful. If any BB support people read this go ahead and contact me.

    I wish that I could give this no stars. My son could not wait to get this presale game. So far it is still not working. Bestbuy told us we had to contact 2k support. We have called sent countless emails and the game is still not working and my son has not received the promised xbox rewards. Total waste of money and disappointment. I cannot get a person on the phone at Best Buy and this is just completely ridiculous.

    This 2k here is by far one of the most frustrating game I've ever played. It's pretty much 2k20 with some added features

    Absolutely a heaping pile of garbage! If i could get my money back, i would without hesitation. I have been a 2k loyalist since 2k9 and they are so out of touch with the fan base and clearly could care less about releasing a polished product at launch. I stuck with them even through the last few major launch issues, but this was last game i buy. Google the reviews and complaints before you buy.
