![]() ![]() MyTeam, NBA 2K20’s inferior interpretation of FIFA’s Ultimate Team, uses the ever so prevalent RNG Card Pack model. It isn’t just M圜areer that’s caught a nasty case of 2K virus either. With the game’s retail price included, that’s $110 to start online with a competitive player. Or, in actual meaningful terms, roughly £39.99 or $49.99. The price of upgrading a new player from a 60 overall to an 85 (the highest overall you can reach the start)? Just short of 200,000 VC. You straight up don’t feel like a professional basketball player. A 60 overall cannot hit shots, cannot defend, is very slow and lacks fundamentals like basic dribbling. It doesn’t matter how good you are either. If you go into a Park or Rec game on a new player without spending money on VC, you will lose every game. It’s clear that M圜areer is designed to make you cave in and hand over your credit card.Ī lot of reviewers miss how awful this practice actually is. Marginally improved endorsement offers help somewhat but the grind is still painful. Player progression is still tied to Virtual Currency (VC) and VC is far too difficult to get legitimately. Naturally, as with just about everything 2K published game, we need to talk about the business model. Earning these badge points can be a little slow but long-term this system seems to be an upgrade. Alternatively, I could have invested badge points into Difficult Shots and gone for a shot creator type. This lets me be a primary slasher with a secondary focus on three-point spot shooting. I have an Inside-Out Facilitator with Hall of Fame Catch & Shoot. Players are free to tweak badges to suit their own specialty. To the developer’s credit, the new badge system is very nice. That’s a reoccurring theme of this entire game. An NBA 2K20 Inside-Outside Scorer isn’t any different to an NBA 2K19 Slashing Sharpshooter. Unfortunately, likely due to gameplay balance, this ends up operating very similarly to archetypes. If you want a build that focuses primarily on shooting and playmaking, you can do that. The new pie charts system has you select a build based on its overall strengths. 2K Games promised the archetype system had been abolished and replaced by an open choice player creator. Rec and Pro-AM have received mild visual enhancements but function, or often don’t function, the exact same as last year.Ī big selling point leading up to release was NBA 2K20’s new approach to archetypes and badges. Park players are stuck with the exact same courts as last year. A handful of buildings have been redesigned but don’t expect any meaningful changes. ![]() ![]() Considering this is supposed to be NBA 2K’s primary game mode, the lack of innovation is concerning. It’s your standard create a player and live an athlete’s dream experience. M圜areer is NBA 2K20’s largest game mode and the primary focus of development. This is one of the worst sports games ever made. Given this, it’s actually an impressive feat how poorly NBA 2K20 has been received. Limited development time tends to lead to repetitive and uninspired products. Expectations going into yearly released sports games are not overly high. NBA 2K20 is the latest of 2K Games’ annual basketball simulation series. ![]()
