I'm GamesRadar+'s sports editor, obsessed with Nba 2k21 Mt NFL, WWE, MLB -- and very occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym. Notably: Bill Bryson, Pitch Perfect, and the Streets Of Rage Collection. I have two children that aren't quite old enough to play Madden yet. Shortly, thoug...
NBA 2K21 is officially out now, but I only got my whole review copy yesterday morning, therefore this review in advancement will spill over into next week (following the Labor Day weekend). However, I managed to devote a good number of hours and at that time NBA 2K21 has made it crystal clear that it has maintained that the franchise's list of leading on-court gameplay. Most of the updates are relatively small, such as loose rebounds looking and feeling a lot more realistic, but they help add to an already strong base. The very best part of NBA 2K21 so far is the control tweaks, such as the new goal meter, make for an all-new learning curve. Unfortunately, upgrades to the encompassing game modes appear pretty barebones.
The aim-meter mechanic is actually hard to grasp, but has already led to some really satisfying one-on-one isolation victories. It is nice being able to use the ideal stick exclusively as a sculpting tool till I am ready to pull back for a shot. The ability to size-up, which is tied to special dribbling animations for many of the top players in the league, and isolate is far better than ever. I spent a couple of hours experimenting with different playstyles, like facilitating the pick-and-roll using Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. It is tremendously rewarding to use Doncic's size and footwork to make space - something that I could not replicate with other guards on the group, like Seth Curry. While it's not completely new, NBA 2K21's capability to emulate players' playstyles is exceptional this year.
That said, there are a couple annoying gameplay problems I have come across, too. Fastbreaks seem marginally enhanced, but participant spacing is still noticeably off. For instance, even my best three-point shooters will track within the three-point line on fast breaks when they'd be better off finding space in the corner. Generally, it seems like NBA 2K21 hasn't completely adapted to the emphasis modern NBA basketball has put on the three-point line. Quick catch-and-shoots are not as prevalent as they should be, and closing out is still far too simple on protection.
Similarly frustrating is the CPU's capacity to create problems for itself. It served as a jarring reminder that I was not, in actuality, experiencing a real game of NBA basketball. From a cursory glance, MyLeague seems to have received almost zero upgrades. The mode has a good set of features built into it , but this is actually the second year in a row without noteworthy advancements. As somebody who enjoys to deep-dive into franchise construction, it is really disappointing that there is so little effort being put into buy mt nba 2k21 the mode.
