![]() Put the two side-by-side and you can instantly pick out the next-gen game with no trouble at all. There can be no denying that NBA 2K21 looks better on Xbox Series X than it did on the previous generation. This is one of those that if it hasn’t been a dealbreaker for you in the past, it likely isn’t going to change even if it is still a pain to get around.First, let’s focus on the obvious and most immediate selling point of next-gen NBA 2K: the visuals. Not only does it almost gate you from experiencing The City early on, but you really need VC to stay competitive in your journey as a player trying to get to the NBA. The VC system here overall is just as bad as it has been too, which does still tarnish the overall experience with how integrated it really is. This almost felt scummy as a way to force you to buy more VC just to level up and make yourself more competitive here, as people of many different levels will be here, rather than being scaled to your current player rating. This will leave you with a lot of waiting just to get access to something you should have had from the start. ![]() There were times where it was hard to find a spot in one of these matches due to no open spots, while other times will have not enough players to where you’re waiting just for teammates. You need to get on winning teams to increase your rank if you don’t want to take forever, which can be really frustrating due to the number of players in the lobby area trying to get in as well. This is because you have to reach the Pro 1 MYREP ranking in the game, which requires you to take part in Blacktop style games with random players that require you to wait in queues to do. Unlike The Neighborhood in past games that unlocked as you played M圜AREER yourself, you are reliant on other actual players to access The City. The biggest problem with The City though is the actual unlocking of it. Compared to The Neighborhood, the City is much larger in size and scale than before, which shows the potential of these next generation platforms when compared to the limitations of the past. The Neighborhood was introduced a few years ago and worked for what it was as a central hub for your player, but The City is the next level of that. 2K Sports and Visual Concepts have truly made it about impossible for anyone else to try and make a basketball game at this level and the consistently solid gameplay really proves that.īesides the next-gen visuals, the big selling point for NBA 2K21 Next Generation is the next evolution of the game’s M圜AREER mode with the introduction of The City. On top of the core gameplay that is still stellar, this version of the game reworked all of the player movement systems to best utilize the new consoles, while also introducing the new Impact Engine that helps to fix some collision errors of the past. ![]() While it may not be as big of a leap overall visually as past generations, there is a definite improvement all around in this latest release.Īs we already talked about in our review for NBA 2K21 on last generation consoles, Visual Concepts absolutely knows how to design a basketball game when it comes to gameplay and NBA 2K21 Next Generation keeps that train going. As with most games on the new generation of consoles, one of the first things you will notice are the graphical improvements. Alongside the release of the new consoles like the Xbox One X/S and PlayStation 5, NBA 2K21 Next Generation is now here with a number of additions.Ĭoming as a free upgrade to those that purchased the NBA 2K21 Mamba Edition or as a completely new release otherwise, NBA 2K21 Next Generation is a full release and not just the version that released a few months ago in backwards compatible form. 2K Sports released NBA 2K21 back in September for what are now the last generation of consoles to some of the most tepid reception the series has ever seen, but there was some hope that this was because they were focusing on the next generation version. The NBA 2K series has long dominated the gaming industry not just in the sport of basketball, but also with sales numbers across all games each year.
