    Bought this for my girlfriends son. He plays on xbox one s, came with a free digital code for next gen on xbox series x so I decided to use that for myself. It made me a believer of basketball games. Graphics and presentation are outta this world! Player animations and movement is some of the best I've ever seen. Get this for next gen if your a sports fan and have a next gen console!

    Great Game but Miss Physical Extras

    Kobe is one of the greatest to ever play the game. I bought the collectors edition 10 years ago of an NBA 2K game and it had a figure, a locker, and other things. NBA 2Ks the last few years only do digital add-ons and I think that this tribute to Kobe could have had extra physical stuff in this edition to commemorate a legend. In a way it does feel like a money grab because of what happened to Kobe. If you enjoy digital-only content then this could be right up your alley. I would just expect them to put more effort in something that remembers one of the best to ever play the game.

    Love the NBA2K series! The game is great, but shooting is much more difficult. They have already installed some updates to improve this, however, even the best shooters will find it more challenging.

    Great graphics and the neighborhood is updated. Typical 2k issues? They only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it took a week to get my Kobe content and VC. Had to submit a ticket to 2K.

    The shot meter is different from 2K versions of prior years. MyPlayer is very details but overall the game is not much different from 2K20, let’s all look forward to 2K on Next Gen

    Ordered this game for my son, he enjoys it very much. Just had to wait until the following Tuesday to get it. We did however get the empty steel case on Friday the actual release date. So thanks Bestbuy for making sure we had an empty case on time but not the actual 90 game we ordered.

    The physical copy is nice because of Kobe Bryant on the cover. However, the actual game and online gameplay is not the best. Jump shot meter is completely different.

    Great for a basketball lover. Altho I think the add ons/ extras you can purchase in the game are priced way to high. For instance my child wants a hoverboard on the game which cost $70 real cash not vcs and I think that's crazy when you cant even ride it in real life.

    I bought this as a gift for a special nephew, so I’m sure since it was a request he will love it. I preordered it before release, the communication from Bestbuy was great from time I ordered til they informed me it was there to pick up. Happy with purchase.

    Love 2k21 this year! You have to make sure you purchase the Mamba Forever edition if your a true basketball fan. Also it includes Xbox Series X version which I can’t wait to see how it plays on when I pick up my preorder from Best Buy 11.10.2020!
