    At its core, NBA 2K18 is excellent and incredibly fun to play. It’s also heaped-full of features. You might not like them all, but there’s a mode here for everyone. It’s a massive achievement of a Switch port that should be lauded, however, the microtransaction-heavy game modes may leave a sour taste in your mouth.

    For those who took our previous advice to hold fire until we were happy the game wasn’t a broken mess, you can finally pull the trigger: NBA 2K18 may not have been a great sports game at launch, but it’s certainly one now. This is effortlessly the best basketball game we've seen on a Nintendo system in years, and a must-have for Switch-owning sports fans.
