- The new controls provide a cleaner and less cluttered experience, enhancing gameplay.
- NBA 2K21 remains a very playable game that fans of the franchise will enjoy.
- Despite some criticisms, the game offers enough changes from NBA 2K20 to stand on its own.
- Many beloved features from previous versions have been stripped back or removed to cater to competitive online players.
- The game is priced at $60, which feels unjustified given the limited changes and issues present.
- The presentation feels like a copy and paste from NBA 2K20, leading to lowered expectations.

The story is heavily influenced by gameplay mechanics, suggesting that certain elements, like the shooting patch, significantly alter the narrative experience. Without these enhancements, the storyline may not resonate as strongly with players.

NBA 2K21 Review
NBA 2K21 marks a new low, which is really disappointing. At times, NBA 2K has been my favorite sports franchise, reinventing itself in ways that reverberated across the industry. But this year's edition feels incomplete and lacking. I would recommend revisiting older games before picking this one up; maybe the next-gen version will be more complete.

2K21 is another solid entry in the series that builds upon the great gameplay strides of the last few years. Visual Concepts has some fires to put out and hopefully that happens sooner rather than later so fans can get on to enjoying the grind.
