NBA 2K games have always been known for their attention to detail and thanks to the improved motion engine this year - NBA 2K20 has managed to take it all to even higher levels.īeing mindful of stamina is of key importance this time around because holding the sprint button for too long will wear your player out much faster than before. The overhauled physics are noticeable right from the tip-off, especially in the player movement department. The minute you start a match in NBA 2K20, you will notice how everything flows much smoother than it did before. So kudos 2K for introducing the awesome MyPLAYER Builder. It is an incredibly handy feature that has successfully managed to alleviate the pain of realising that you aren't satisfied with your MyPLAYER build halfway through M圜AREER and you have to create a new one, thereby throwing away all the hard work you'd put in. You can choose the overall rating you want to test at, so you can try the build at maximum level to see if that's the type of player you want to roll with. Not too shabby, at all, I dare say.Īfter you finish creating your player, you will have the option of testing him in a match before starting your M圜AREER. I made a Playmaking Shot Creator build, and my similarities include the likes of Allan Houston, James Harden and Bradley Beal. Then, once you're done with setting everything up, the game will give you the names of three NBA stars that your player is similar to. This freedom of choice allows you to experiment and play around with the creation system to your heart's content. This allows you to create a player exactly how you imagine him to be because, apart from choosing the standard stuff - playing position, height, weight and wingspan - you can distribute the attribute points however you want to in order to create your perfect player. My favourite feature of NBA 2K20 is the new MyPLAYER Builder. It's all about skill for us this year, and separating that gap is a very important thing for us." To reach a high overall rating in 2K20, you will have to put in some serious work.Īs Boenisch put it: "You can't even buy your way to 95 - that's something you have to play over time and unlock the right to level up that high.
Make no mistake, VC does still make a difference in the beginning, but paying your way to stardom will only take you so far. Upgrading your MyPLAYER with VC will only take you so far. And indeed, skill does play the main role in how fast your MyPLAYER is going to progress this year. With us, Erick Boenisch, the senior producer at 2K Sports, firmly stated that the focus of MyPLAYER's progression is put entirely on skill in NBA 2K20.
However, the one thing that I am happy to report is that the game does not rely on VC as much as it did in years past. NBA 2K20 brings the Neighborhood back with all of its playgrounds and facilities that are very similar to those we saw last year. Gear your player up with skill, not money I was lucky enough to join my favourite bunch - the Houston Rockets, who were at the very top of my wish list, just above the Lakers and the Trail Blazers. Once you play your way through college and prove yourself to numerous NBA scouts who are closely monitoring your every move on the court, you will be drafted by one of the three teams that you select as your preferred destination, and thus your NBA career begins. NBA 2K20's M圜AREER story features LeBron James. The brilliantly written dialogues, amazing camera work and very memorable characters make this year's M圜AREER cutscenes so good that the thought of me skipping them never even crossed my mind once. This comes at no surprise though because the team behind the excellent narrative is none other than SpringHill Entertainment. I don't want to go into too much detail here because I want to keep this review spoiler-free for those who haven't played through the prelude yet, but what I will say is that the story of M圜AREER this year is by far the best the franchise has ever seen. This year, our story begins from the early days of college where you fall out with your coach after he makes a few decisions that are a bit controversial to say the least. After all, time flies when you're having fun, right? So what makes NBA 2K20 so good? I say this because I have been having so much fun with it, that I've completely lost the track of time - but that only speaks volumes about how good the game actually is. I'm still having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that NBA 2K20 was released a week ago, because, to me, it feels like it only came out yesterday.
