Reason #5: There are FORTY-SIX classic teams in this game, with the 80s and 90s being particularly well-represented.
The players look unique, they move with life-like finesse, the courts are faithful, and the arena buzzes with energy. Your opponents won’t beat you with cheap tricks as much as they’ll beat you with smart strategy and effective execution.
The AI stays realistic, giving you a challenge that feels natural. The learning curve is steep to begin with, and as you get better, you can dial up the difficulty notch by notch. When you put it all together, games can become highly tactical, and you’ll never get the same game twice. There’s a large set of plays, plus about a million coaching options. Their tendencies go way beyond what you get from other modern sports sims. Each player is different, with a unique set of skills and tendencies. The core AI keeps the nine other guys playing like real players. The controls are definitely complicated, but they give you all the abilities that you need on the court. Reason #1 this game kicks ass: It actually feels a lot like basketball. The real-life NBA style changed rapidly in the years following 2K16, and the series has tried to evolve with it, so this is the last version that feels like basketball “the way it used to be” for old farts like me. That’s not the only reason this game has a special place in my heart. The series got a new engine for 2K17, and it’s generally considered a step down. The PS4 versions started with NBA 2K14 and are still going today in 2021. This game is the peak of the NBA 2K series, extremely well-crafted, deep, challenging, realistic, and sleek.
