    NBA 2K21 Next Gen Review

    Beautiful game... there is only one must have NBA game and it's always the 2k series. Graphics are great, gameplay took a turn for the worse this year. The developer needs to relax with micro-transactions as well. Not very fond of those. All that being said, if you are an avid basketball fan and gamer, this is a no-brainer.

    This is a great game even thought it's still being fixed on some minor issues . Also the rookies that just got drafted are also already within their drafted team. All in all it's an awesome game 2 thumbs up..

    The graphics are amazing! I walk into the room while my son is playing this game and it’s hard to tell if he’s watching a live NBA game or playing NBA2K21. We are lucky enough to have the PS5 game system and this is one of the only sports game available for it right now - still, I highly recommend!

    Confusing Controls and Goofy Graphics

    Was excited to play this game. It's been a while since playing 2K, and after scoring a PS5, definitely wanted to try the latest version. I'm glad I didn't wait/waste money on the Mamba Forever edition. The gameplay should be fairly straight forward, but the controls are really confusing as compared to earlier editions. Shooting is extremely tricky... regardless if you have the meter on or not. Using the release meter, and releasing when everything lines up never guarantees a basket. Passing the ball is all over the place... where the ball will be passed when that's not what the player was told to do. In those instances, you can bet that it will be passed to the other team. Player behavior and skill is completely different between Practice and real Games. Some of the scoring metrics are confusing as well. For this franchise to be as old as it is, I'm surprised at the bugs and oddities that exist. Definitely a frustrating game to play.

    Phenomenal game - branding on point to past installments and improvements in gameplay and graphics on next gen system stand out. Smooth server and easy to follow if I wasn’t already familiar with the previous years. Only downside was the duration for downloading all the updates, but other than that I’m satisfied with the gem that is NBA 2K21.

    Although I never was able to obtain a PlayStation 5 due to the unavailable supply of Best Buy my intent was to play this game. I did get to experience this game on my brothers’ console. Love this game action back and extremely challenging.

    I know people say it's just an upgrade but this year's mycareer is especially fun. The graphics look great and the game play is fun. Im playing on PS5 so it's good to have something to play consistently. The City is a little too big though. I still haven't explored it completed.

    Game is good. I like how you can play with legends, or current roster. And there are so many game options to play. Season, make own player, create own team, street ball, and even women's league. Game play is good once you get used to now to do moves, dribbles, post ups etc. I would recommend this game to anybody that likes playing basketball.

    I’m terrible in this game and don’t seem to be improving at all. However the graphics are next generational and seem to maximize the PlayStation to its max. The game play is very smooth but caution this game takes tons of hard drive space. Very fun game to play.
