It loses a point because of
its Virtual Currency (VC) obsession, a
recurring issue in 2K games. It’s supposed
to ensure that all your actions in every
mode – career, MyTeam, even watching
2KTV – secure rewards, but they’re often
so meagre that the entire game comes
across as a grind, aimed at funnelling
you towards the PS Store to part with
real cash. Please don’t do that. The only
way games like this and FIFA will change
in the next gen is if their players make a
sustained effort not to exchange any of their
hard-earned dosh for digital
trading cards. Otherwise this
is solid, but on that front 2K
(and EA, and the rest) must do
better.

NBA 2K21 makes welcome improvements to its MyCareer and MyTeam modes, but the frustratingly inconsistent new shooting system and lack of changes elsewhere make it feel like it’s lost its step over other sports games.

On the court, this is a brilliant basketball game that doesn’t change much. Why would it when it’s not really necessary? The microtransactions, however, are more annoying than Houston’s playstyle.
