NBA 2K20
NBA 2K20 isn't the most groundbreaking opus in the IP, but it's still a must-have for all the basketball fans out there.

Visual Concepts’ tireless scouting for new stuff hasn’t affected its immaculate eye for detail. [Issue#168, p.78]
NBA 2K20 includes fewer innovations than a "copy/paste club", yet manages to still play and feel pretty great. Gambling and microtransactions involved are becoming more and more toxic with each year tho.

Lo siento por los fanáticos de 2k si no les gusta este juego, me introduje en la saga con este juego y me pareció inlcreible.

It’s still a good game and quite enjoyable to play. The gameplay is similar to NBA2k19, but with an updated roster. I hope they reduce microtransactions in NBA2k21.

NBA 2K20 Review:In my opinion, 2K20 was one of the better 2Ks—mainly because of the timing. I was in quarantine, and that game really helped pass the time, so it holds a special place for me. Overall, it wasn’t a bad game—it was actually good. The biggest flaw was the lack of dribble animations and creativity. There weren’t many new dribble packages or combos to work with, so it felt limited. There was this one glitch where you could come out of the corner, flick your stick down, and take off from the corner three straight to the paint for a dunk—it made no sense, but I used it, and honestly, it was fun. The park was literally the exact same as 2K19, with no effort put into making it feel fresh or new. A lot of people call 2K20 the best 2K ever, but let’s be real—it wasn’t. It just dropped at the right time. It was a “quarantine 2K,” and nostalgia made it seem Hall of Fame when it really wasn’t. The game had its ups and downs, and as a post scorer myself, I can say post scorers were completely nerfed. Still, with all that said, 2K20 was a good time—even if it wasn’t as great as people now claim.

Microtransactions and loot boxes are still there, but it is fair to say that they are not so invasive this time. Despite that, this is a sport simulator that has no rival in its genre: because of WNBA, gameplay improvements, audiovisual quality, cinematic style, depth of the modes… One more time, Visual Concepts keeps enlarging the dynasty.

An NBA 2K game is once again being plagued by microtransactions that enrage gamers. But on the other hand, the production values, the gameplay and the overall presentation of NBA 2K20 are over the roof, having no match in sports games. At the end of the day, you must be the one to judge if this high quality balances out the cons of the "loot boxes blight".

NBA 2K20 offers again what we saw last year and the year before that, which is a solid Basketball experience. Some minor technical issues are still here and there, which suggests that the developers are using the same core mechanics as they did previously. Maybe we need to wait for next generation of gaming devices for a completely new and fresh NBA experience.

If you like NBA 2K games you like NBA 2K20. If you look something new, no sir! This year features no big change in the game.

This new NBA 2K iteration isn't a new step forward for the the franchise. Gameplay is still good and demanding, MyCareer well-written, but there's not much that's feeling new and memorable.

It’s a shame that the surrounding structures don’t hold up, because the in-game experience of NBA 2K20 remains top-class. Another year of refinements has smoothed out some rough edges of the basketball gameplay that was already worth seeking out. The level of control you have over shot types is both useful and entertaining. Defensive assignments feel like they work more consistently. The commentary repeats itself less. They’re great moves forward. But if you engage with the modes 2K seems to want to push most, you’ll have to deal with baggage that weighs down the experience.

NBA 2k20 feels stunning, the new MyTeam additions, MyGM and MyLeague modes are incredible additions to 2k's beloved basketball franchise. The MyTeam rewards have improved dramatically and the shooting mechanics are incredibly easy to pull off. This is truly a game that all basketball fans will truly love. A solid 10 out of 10, 2K!!!

This game right here nba 2k20 is not good, it has way too little changes to be called an improvement, but also too little bad things, other than how myleague HAS BEEN THE EXACT SAME FOR 7 YEARS NOW, the rest of the game isn't that bad, it's actually pretty decent not gonna lie, but theres not enough change, and too many microtransactions for me.
