    What's perhaps more surprising is that 2K has added two substantial modes (in the new WNBA career mode The W and the massively multiplayer The City) to make it the most feature-packed one ever too. Much of its content still has the weight of microtransactions hanging over it, but as long as you don't mind ignoring that and putting in the grind instead, this is a great purchase for NBA fans: especially if you held fire and haven't played 2K21 on Xbox One yet.

    NBA 2K21 makes a solid debut on next-gen consoles, but may fall short of some fans’ razzle dazzle expectations. The game looks impressive, if slightly uneven, and new animations make for silky-smooth on-court action, but a lack of unique, worthwhile content holds the overall package back. If you’ve been waiting for NBA 2K21 on PS5 and Xbox Series X, or bought the Mamba Forever Edition that comes with a free upgrade, this is certainly the best version to play.

    Another year, Another cash grab

    I am glad I got this game as free in Epic games. If not, I shouldn't be able to play this. Who would want to play a game with the same feature all over again? I am an NBA fan, and I love 2K games since then. Although I am starting to tire out since I've been seeing the same things these past years. Come on 2K. You can be better than this. **VISUALS** _Artistry: 12/12_ _Technical Merit: 8/8_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 10/12_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 5/8_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 6/8_ _Player Agency: 4/8_ _Accessibility: 3/4_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 8/10_ _Depth: 3/5_ _Variety: 4/5_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 2/8_ _Heart: 2/6_ _Originality: 1/6_
