NBA 2K21 still manages to  catch the art of basketball, but it's largely the same dance as years past.

With NBA 2K21, you simply understand what you're getting into--a basketball simulation with the demonstration chops, star power, and gameplay mechanisms to embody the sport on a professional and cultural level. You know you'll build a custom player to experience a narrative that leads into a complete career and take to the roads and rec center for pickup games. You know you can perform a management sim through MyGM or construct a working fantasy team through card packs in MyTeam. And you also know all too well about the scheme of VC that looms over it all, which remains among the leading offenders of intrusive microtransactions.

At this point, NBA 2K21 suggests that the franchise is out of surprises. It comes with a strong suite of modes, but despite small remixing year after year, the yearly releases are beginning to blend together (when they haven't already). Mechanics get minor tweaks or enhancements, but largely remain untouched. Therefore, for those embedded at the 2K cycle, you know what the deal is, but because this year's game changes things mostly on a surface level, it is difficult to be excited about still another entry.

And that doesn't just come in the player likenesses, character development tools, or even the broadcast-style demonstration; it is a matter of the core gameplay, also. Dribble goes with the ideal stick offer nearly full charge of ball handling. It may feel somewhat cluttered having so many actions mapped to marginally different moves on just 1 rod, as errant inputs may occasionally have you pull on a pump-fake rather than the crossover you intended. But if you're able to master a few important moves, you are going to be in an advantage for opportunities to drive to the basket or mitigate shot . The same holds for making the right moves at the post-game to either get under defenders or get positioning over them. All of  these have been staples of NBA 2K for quite a while.
