2K is going several steps further with NBA 2K21 MT the next-gen variant of NBA 2K21.

It appears that this is like a broken record with NBA 2K games, especially in the first few months after launch. When you consider the next-gen version of the game has only been around for 10 days on PlayStation 5 and 12 on Xbox Series X, it is really not overly worrisome that the game is still having some lag and connectivity issues.

Having said that, a few of the instances in which users are seeing these issues are unacceptable. The limitation on the amount of people who can make it into the City is a difficult pill to swallow. I've heard and been told 2K is working on a cure for this issue, and I would assume it'd be at the very top of the list of priorities.

The other serious spot we're seeing connectivity/lag issues is MyTeam. Since 2K is easing the opening stages of their yearly MyTeam $250,000 tournament, it makes these debatable spots all the more costly.NBA 2K League veteran and multiple-time participant in the championship Jin captured and published this moment that saw him or his opponent lag from a current contest.If 2K will run eSports contests online, they have to do everything in their power to Buy MT 2K21 ensure proper connectivity.
