Nevertheless, there are a couple annoying gameplay issues I have come across, too. Fastbreaks seem slightly improved, but player spacing continues to NBA 2K Coins be clearly off. For example, even my finest three-point shooters will track within the three-point line on fast breaks when they would be better off locating space in the corner. Generally, it feels like NBA 2K21 has not completely adapted to the emphasis modern NBA basketball has put on the three-point line. Quick catch-and-shoots aren't as common as they should be, and final out remains far too simple on protection.
Likewise frustrating is the CPU's ability to create problems for itself. In my short time with NBA 2K21, I have seen two backcourt violations on wide-open inbounds passes. It functioned as a jarring reminder I was not, in reality, experiencing a real game of NBA basketball.
From a cursory glance, MyLeague appears to have received nearly zero updates. The mode has a good set of features built into it already, but that is the second year in a row without striking improvements. As someone who enjoys to deep-dive into franchise building, it's really disappointing that there is so little effort being put into the mode.
Make no mistake, however -- even though it looks different, it seems heavily dependent on microtransactions and buying packs. Like I said in last year's inspection, it's apparent the MyTeam's central goal is to extract as much cash as you're prepared to give up in order to prevent having to grind out mundane challenges to progress, and it does not appear anything has changed in this section.
There does seem to be an emphasis on customization for MyTeam this season: now you can select different ability paths for your evolution cards, such as focusing on athleticism or playmaking, which should help guide players to better match under my personal playing style.Over the long weekend I will be diving deeper into game modes, including the brand new school-age narrative campaign, the re-designed Neighborhood, WNBA quickplay, and online play before wrap up this review before the end of next week.
On the whole, from the little I have gotten to encounter so far NBA 2K21 is fun to play -- it would be a surprise if it did some thing that destroys a good thing. It is only a shame that, so far, the game modes do not do much to Buy NBA 2K MT put exciting or intriguing new spins on it in contrast to what we saw last year.
