Nba 2k21 ps5 review5/16/2023 ![]() There’s a brand new take on the more story-driven M圜areer mode, but I can’t help but feel that (narratively speaking) things here haven’t really evolved since 2K brought Spike Lee on board for the 2K16 edition. Other small improvements include social integration for MyLeague (letting you share scenarios with others) and more room to customize your WNBA players, but by and large this is a very similar experience to NBA 2K20 unless you head into the MyTeam portion of the game. Featuring a number of new and refreshed (mini)games to play inside this card collection-based concept, I found myself hooked on this mode even though I never really enjoy similar card-based approaches like the one in FIFA – which always feels like too much of a grindfest. Looking closer at the various game modes that are on offer in NBA 2K21, the biggest improvements are in the MyTeam mode this year. I like how the new mechanic feels like you’re timing the actual release of the ball, but certainly missed a fair number of shots because I’m not used to the mechanic either. It certainly feels challenging, favoring precision movement over timing, and the jury’s out on what will ultimately feel better. Rather than a focus on well-timed button presses, shooting now requires you to pull straight up or down and then return the stick to the center position at exactly the right time. Dribbling feels slightly smoother this year, but the main new feature that’s been added has to do with shooting – with a new shot stick mechanic that will no doubt be divisive among players. ![]() The on the court gameplay itself feels like a small refinement to last year’s, as has been the case for a number of years now. Updates are mainly aesthetic in nature, with a few updated looks for players in a game that otherwise looks extremely similar to last year’s game. I’m assuming we’ll get these in a post-launch update, but it doesn’t help the game stand out from last year’s offering. None of that applies to the current gen versions though, and without trade shows to give us access to the developers and a look at the in-game features, how NBA 2K21 turned out was a bit of a mystery this year.īecause of the coronavirus pandemic, the ‘previous’ NBA season itself is still ongoing, which means that the new 2K game doesn’t have any of the roster updates that we usually get post-season. When you think NBA 2K21, you quickly think of those few seconds of footage we saw during the online PlayStation 5 event, showcasing not much more than the leap forward in visual fidelity that we should expect. Although the game is getting a next gen version in a few months, NBA 2K21’s version for current gen consoles, which includes versions for the Switcha and PC, is already here.
