Maybe the worst NBA2K game ever. NBA2K games getting worse since 2015.

There are skipless animations and visuals, make you stare your screen for nearly 20-30 sec for every foul, timeout, end of period, end of quarter, opening and ending. I just want to play the game. Why do i care rebound leader when im a point guard? Why should i look at James Harden's dropping assist numbers in every Rocket's matchup? I dont care about NBA2K21's demo. Im not interested in Dorris Burke and her speech. I just want to skip them. Ah i forgot the honorable mention, referee. When you get fouled and go to freethrow line for the first time, referee just tells some ♥♥♥♥ to players for 10 seconds. In total when you play 6 minutes long quarters, you wait about 6-7 minutes to play 18 minutes of real time.

The AI works at least "proper enough" on older games. But in this game, even the simplest screen call breaks the game which causes defender to leave a gap for dodgin screen. That leaves you nearly wide-open or maximum of %10 contested statwise. Instead you dodge defender by just waiting and pressing left bumper and calling screen. Then rain 3s. Even AI abuse this. I see often that Curry call screen, wait for 3 seconds without moving and just take 3s. If you call a simplest gameplan, opposing team struggle to adapt it, causes easy points. Gameplay is really horrible in MyCarrer single player mode.

There are issues with body colliders. You can use all your stamina to bump some1s leg and cant move an inch.

Difficulty settings are not boosting opposing teams AI but boost their stats, also lower your teams IQ to 0. The most irritating part is in HOF when i miss only 1 shot, my character going cold. Cant hit shots from close range, wide open with 85 close shot rating when i get full white bars.

Also some animations are better than others (offers better frame windows for making perfect timing for scoring) but it is hidden so you need to constantly search for dataminer pages to get good one, cuz devs constantly patch them.

There are missing shot types and animations when i compare to older versions. There is a dropstep layup and dunk in game (i guess. there is a badge about it lol.) even i tried 2 hours to get a dropstep layup. i cant seem to find. also there is no knowledge about how to dropstep in controls menu. Only you can do is floater and eurostep. Dropstep and runnershots are missing. Fadeaway shots only available in post. There are no fancy dribbling moves. A lot of dunk styles are missing.

i did not play myteam. i dont have word for that.
There is a grind part in this game but i wont b*tch about it, it seems very easy when you can abuse AI.
Multiplayer part is laggy af.
Commentary is very limited opposed to older versions.
Curry special: Can make 3s from halfcourt.

0/10 i wont play again and not recommend
Also sorry for bed Englando xD
