WorthPlaying
7.0Overall, NBA 2K20 is still one of the best basketball games out there, but future iterations should either ease up greatly on the VC spend or drop the price significantly, so players won't have to spend extra money.

Critic reviews
- 3rd-strike.com7.5Even when you’re being bombarded at every turn to buy additional content or currency for the game, 2K’s series is still the reigning champion of basketball simulation games. You’ll once again get an improved version with better graphics, more realistic controls, a plethora of different game modes and a nice soundtrack to blend it all together. We hope to see the next iteration tone down the microtransactions, but even if they don’t, you probably won’t find a better sim for basketball enthusiasts out there.
- App Trigger8.0From presentation to gameplay, NBA 2K20 does an amazing job at faithfully recreating an authentic basketball experience. If you can look past the microtransactions, you’ll find a really great basketball simulation.
- COGconnected6.6Overall, NBA 2K20 is a good game. The core gameplay and presentation excels, My Career is a simple but enjoyable experience, the WNBA’s included, and the additional modes function but fall short because of the progression stranglehold.
- GameSpew5.0If you’re a huge basketball fan then of course you’re going to want to buy NBA 2K20, warts and all. But you should probably ask yourself, “do you need to?”. If you just want to play basketball, NBA 2K19 does the job nearly almost as well – and you can pick that up for peanuts if you don’t already own it. NBA 2K20‘s MyCareer is a huge disappointment, and other modes have had minor improvements at best. All you’re really paying for is roster updates, WNBA and the opportunity to buy more VC. If that sounds like a good deal to you then jump in, but it really shouldn’t.
- Dual Shockers7.0NBA 2K20 feels like a transition game for 2K. The full package still offers hours upon hours of basketball enjoyment to be had, but it doesn’t feel like any worthwhile improvements were made compared to 2K19. Plus, microtransactions are still present around nearly every corner, constantly beckoning you to just drop a few dollars into the game. I wish this would change, but I know it’s pretty much never going to at this point.
Gamer reviews
NBA 2K20
I can't appreciate this game that much because I've been playing its PC version and I can easily say that the graphics are totally different as well as on the controls. I sometimes get confuse on the players because on the android version, the faces of the players doesn't even match closer to the actual looks of the NBA players lol, but if you want to spend some of your free time playing a basketball on your phone, this game will do.
Not my game, but is still fun to play
I am not a huge fan of sports games but so I like to collect games that I can keep. For some reason, I got this for myself because it was on sale the day I got it. NBA 2K20 is no different from any other basketball games for me. But I will still review this honestly to the ability that I can so that there will be no bias and people can understand why you may like to get it or not. NBA 2K20 is available for all platforms, Windows 10, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia. But I will only focus on the Switch port since this is a group for Switch users. Graphics are way better than the last iteration of the game and it has a lot of upgrades. But its still i not as top notch visually appealing comparing to the PS4 and Xbox One type of graphical power. I don't play the story mode of this game but from what I have heard from people playing it, the cutscenes are great with visual styles. Gameplay mechanics has been also improved comparing to 2K19. Motions of the players are more realistic but this is better played on the TV rather than portable mode. I prefer this because it feels better playing this game with a pro controller rather than the actual joy cons of the Switch. For those who want this game to be played on the go, please bear in mind that when buying the game physically for the Switch you only pay the 8gb of data of the game. You still need to download the remaining 37gb to your SD Card. So be prepared to have a higher capacity SD Card on your Switch. It is also the reason why I don't have any pictures or gameplay of this because I don't have to download 37gb again to my SD Card. I needed the space for other upcoming games. If you really wanted this game, just get it on SALE. The game is probably worth around P1,000 as a physical copy. But if you are itching for some basketball gaming experience on the go, this game is for you.
Best basketball simulation out there. However, 2K can't be forgiven for continuing on this horrid path of micro-transactions. The other thing I can't wrap my head around is why they make every cut-scene, every half-time show etc mandatory watching? For every 20 minutes of game, there's 5 minutes of non-skip cutscenes. Complete waste of time. Will wait 5 years before I'll need to buy a new edition
