NBA 2K20

Several things about the 2k series that irritate me.

1. CPU players moving like the Flash, while your character moves like a sloth.

2. With an 85% 3 pointer, I hit about 10% of my shots.

3. If I am in paint for more than 3 seconds, foul is called, but if CPU players are in paint up to 5-8 seconds no penalty.

4. Not everyone who plays 2k games are rap fans, some of us are rock fans too.

5. Game often changes my guarding assignment to who has the ball just before they shoot, thusly causing me to suffer a negative drain on my team grade.

The gameplay sucks. The 'story mode' sucks. The graphics are no better than 2k19. There are several bugs in the game. This game is worse than the last few 2k games. It's slow and chunky. This game literally makes me want to die.

I've never seen the release of a game completely botched like this before. I've had this game for 4 days and it's still not operating correctly. Missing VC, attributes are working, not getting badges, etc. and after the patch, we now get WORSE after a perfect practice drill. No lie...negative progress numbers.

Just release the game two months later when it's actually finished next year. NBA Live anyone?

Let me preface this with I'm an avid online head to head player. I'm hardline connected to internet to ensure no lag on my end for games. I play MyCareer to change things up every now and then but primarily online versus is where my review stems from.

I hadn't bought nba 2k since 2k16 because every year the reviews from actual fans showed this wasn't worth the money. Well, with the death of Kobe and nostalgia kicking in and the price of $16.99, I figured it was time to pick the sticks up again. If I could get that money back I would.

The game moves in slow motion and anyone who played 2K16 and prior knows they have clearly gone away from making that a great experience for us fans. With that being said, I don't know how anyone could give this game a 4 star or better unless this is your first experience with the 2K series ever.

Also, you tier the online play up and prevent us from using whatever teams we want? If I paid full price for this game and only had access to 10-12 of the teams I would make it my life's work to let these developers know how much they blow.

It's disheartening how bad this game has gotten over the years and I hope one day 2K takes the time to listen to the feedback. For future gamers, I really want for you to experience the 2K I fell in love with and would spend hours playing. But for me, I'm throwing in the towel. Trust these long wonder negative reviews folks. These money grabbers definitely pay for the 10 star reviews they get and that's a damn shame.

The gameplay is almost exactly like 2k19. I could excuse this if most of the bugs were fixed, but they are not even close to improving. Lob plays are entirely based on luck, the game will randomly cause 'illegal screens' and the foul calls are laughable. Don't buy this game
