    Glad they are trying to fix the shooting woes. Much of the nba 2k series stays the same but I enjoyed the quick pick up and gameplay.

    2k21 is much like 2k20...the biggest upgrage, besides the cover of Kobe, is the MyTeam area. The graphics are really good for putting this together during a pandemic. Looking forward to seeing this on the new Xbox X series this fall.

    My son loves this franchise. I think this is the sixth edition we have played. Graphics and gameplay just keep getting better. I'm not a fan of the soundtrack but that is probably due to my age. Clean fun for the family.

    At first my son was upset because code to retrieve certain moves wasn’t working but then he finally got it to work it was very difficult contacting someone from Microsoft but Best Buy geek squad helped as much as they could.

    I purchased this game as a keepsake for Kobe Bryant aka Black Mamba. (R.I.P) NBA 2K has always been one of my favorite games to play, and it just keeps getting better with technology as far as graphics and entertainment.

    Shooting changes are definitely jarring, but easy to get used to. Otherwise this is a rehash of the previous game at almost every aspect. The animations and physics haven’t changed, and the VC drowned player development system is still the core of the game. MyCareer is weak this year with few cutscenes and the complete removal of post-game interviews and events once you reach the NBA.

    Disappointed so far. Codes for doing pre order only worked for Damian shoe collection the vc etc aren't working for Xbox users as documented online after Uninstalling game and reinstalling still haven't gotten my perks nba2k aware of issue but no timetable. Great steel book case but for $100 with so many issues? Rather get the basic edition or use the 100 on a black mamba portrait etc

    i’ve been playing this game for a while now and i really like it. i play it almost everyday, and it’s probably my favorite game currently. so of course i had to buy the 100$ edition because it’s so worth it.!

    Got everything but 2k themselves disappointed me.

    So to say first off Best Buy did everything great. On the other hand I bought the mamba edition for 2k21 and I put in the code to get the preorder bonuses and I downloaded 2k went into it and nothing I got none of the preorder bonuses. So on the half of Best Buy then did a great job but on the half of me buying the game it hasn’t even been a week and I already regret my purchase.

    Not the best of 2k games, shooting is off a bit, but I no’ they will continue to upgrade. So far not many complaints besides a few adjustments that need to be made...I like it
