Away from
NBA 2K21 MT the court, it's a different story. VC (or Virtual Money ) flows through everything, blocking off some difficulties in the otherwise top class MyCareer mode, and forcing you to choose between either updating your MyCareer expert or improving your MyTeam roster. Of course, the game actually wants you to do , but to do that, you have to invest more real money in-game. It is not just that microtransactions are found, it's the game pushes them so hard it damages your enjoyment of MyCareer, puts barriers before your access to The Neighborhood, and sees most offline modes losing out.
First, let's lace up our Nikes and mind to the courtroom. The NBA 2K series has always been a half step ahead of FIFA (along with a couple ahead of Madden) in terms of raw sports simulation. After tightening up defense this past year, taking home the crown as the top sports sim on the market should have been an easy alley-oop to get NBA 2K21. It feels as though they have missed the dunk but put in the rally. The passing, running, and defensive work is as clean as fast as it was last year, but this improvement has brought in stick shooting alongside the usual button play, as well as changing the way the shooting meter both works and looks.
With this change includes a new dribbling system, that definitely offers greater control and feels more fluid. However, if you've attempted shooting in the demonstration or on the launch day of NBA 2K21, you will know they've massively overcooked the problem. Dame Lillard was overlooking open jump shots once the goal was yellow; in 2K's aiming system, yellow means'very close but not perfect. It's been patched since then, and shooting is much more natural. The rod still takes getting used to, but the punishment for obtaining yellows is not too severe unless you're boxed out, maybe not at a hot zone, or using a player with poor shooting stats.
The games themselves, filled with sponsorships from Gatorade, Mobil, and many more, can sometimes lean too much towards a presentation of a live game on TV than actual play, but
Buy 2K21 MT once you've got the rock on your hands, which fades away.
