With this shift comes a new dribbling system from Weismart's blog

The genuine basketball in NBA 2K21 is sublime, with the series continuing to NBA 2K MT make little tweaks and enhancements with every setup. This year, a number of the irritating out-of-bounds scenarios have been tightened up, but the largest change is the shooting. While button shooting exists, stick shooting attempts to give closer hands, and after initially having a punishing difficulty curve, a quickly implemented hotfix makes it run much simpler. On the court, you couldn't ask for more.

Off the court, it is a different story. VC (or Virtual Money ) flows through everything, blocking off a few issues in the otherwise top class MyCareer manner, and forcing you to choose between either updating your MyCareer expert, or improving your MyTeam roster. Obviously, the game really would like you to do , but in order to do so, you have to spend more actual money in-game. It's not merely that microtransactions are present, it's the game pushes them hard it hurts your enjoyment of MyCareer, puts barriers before your access to The Neighborhood, and sees most offline modes losing out.

To begin with, let us lace our Nikes and mind to the court. The NBA 2K series has always been a half step ahead of FIFA (and a couple before Madden) in relation to sports simulation. After tightening up defence this past year, taking home the crown as the top sports sim on the market ought to have been an easy alley-oop for NBA 2K21. It feels as though they've missed the dip but put in the rebound.The passing, running, awnd defensive function is as clean and asquick as it had been last year, but this addition has brought in stick shooting along with the typical button play, in addition to changing the way the shooting meter both works and looks.

With this shift comes a new dribbling system, which definitely provides increased control and feels much more fluid. However, if you've attempted shooting either in the demo or Buy 2K MT on launch day of NBA 2K21, you'll know they've massively overcooked the problem. Dame Lillard was missing open jump shots when the goal was yellowish; in 2K's aiming system, yellow means'quite close but not ideal'. The stick still requires getting used to, but the punishment for getting yellows is not too severe unless you are boxed out, maybe not at a hot zone, or using a player with poor shooting stats.
