NBA 2K21

I took a break for a couple of years but came back for next gen. Love it!!!!

Literally terrible. 12 year customer of 2k. The MyCareer is the closest thing to a scam you can get. Miss the days when this game actually tried and cared about updating for the experience of the player. It's a joke. I beg you, please don't buy this game.

Every game after 2K16 has gotten worse and worse, there's no more level playing ground to show who's actually good at the game. The MyPlayer builder is absolutely horrendous and has failed horribly since they started it with with player archetypes in 2016 with 2K17. Who wants to be good at 1 or 2 things on the basketball court? That's beyond annoying when you're 7 feet tall and get boarded by someone that's 6'1 because you don't have hall of fame badges right away. Absolutely garbage video game and has been for over 5 years now. Go back to 2K16 and it'll be at the top again.

I had a with this game, mainly THE DEFENSE.. 2k every year it gets worse in the defense, people prefer to use automatic defense and that it's awful.. beside that, the game its really realistic and a good fun for every basketball lover.

Not only does this game provide absolutely NOTHING new or invigorating, it actively sabotages your enjoyment of the game to incentivize buying "tokens" to boost your stats.

The second or third match in "career mode" is against a team of maxed-out superstars and you, for some reason, just switched over from football to basketball? In other words, your character is complete garbage and his stats are all way below what they should be. 2K would only do such a thing to infuriate the player. And after every game, of course, you have the opportunity to spend up to $100 to boost your stats...

It doesn't take a genius to analyze the situation and come to the conclusion that this game is borderline PREDATORY in regards to monetizing in-game character skill development.

Not to mention, in order to even play "career mode" you have to be connected to the internet and your system must be FULLY updated. So to actually play this game to the fullest on a regular basis you must pay $60 for the game, +\- $100 for decent stats, and +\- $80 per month for internet access so you can update this absurd copy/paste game daily.

No kidding, this game made me very angry. I'm a calm person, but it's obvious that the game was engineered to frustrate the player into spending more on boosting character stats, etc. 2K should be more responsible with this kind of thing considering the entire world is falling into poverty and suffering from mental health issues. Seriously. We bought the darn game, shouldn't we get full value without being tortured into spending even more money?
