NBA 2K21 Last Gen Impressions

re: NBA 2K21 Last Gen Impressions

Soooo you can turn off this clunky shooting/aim mechanic and play without the arcade meter to go back to 'normal' shooting with Real Player% ?

If not, it's a deal breaker.

Yes, you can. You can turn the meter off, aim shooting off and just use real player percentages.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to carry over a Roster or a MyLeague season from 20 to 21

Never seen that. The Show has that feature, but I'm pretty sure no other game does.

Is that for offline only? And also where do I go to change it?

re: NBA 2K21 Last Gen Impressions

There is one thing I'm worried about at the moment: these double teams.

I'm on All-Star difficulty, using the Spurs. Lamarcus, up into the second quarter, hadn't even gotten a shot attempt up. So I decide I'm going to try and get him going and get him posting up, and immediately, he gets double-teamed.

I'm not sure if this is the AI being smart (a lot of the time, they were double-teaming off of Demar), or the game needing some tweaking (they were also leaving good shooters open).

However, the same happened with Demar, who only finished with 6 points. If I got him the ball in the post, it was an immediate double-team.

Is anybody else experiencing this, or could it just be situational based on my personnel?

I’m burnt on the Show. Need a new game. Is it better to buy the $100 version or $60 version. Did not play last years game except for when they made it free and only played a couple hours. Is it worth the $40? Is the game worth the upgrade from last year?

The shooting is fine. On HOF the right stick shooting/aiming needs a fine tune however.


5/10 Shots that are slightly left or slightly right should not be airballs. I was getting airballs with guys that are 85+ 3 point rated shooters. If that gets tuned that'd be great. Not asking for makes, just dramatically less airballs.



1/10 seems like a good ratio to me.

re: NBA 2K21 Last Gen Impressions

I love that they meant for shooting to be more difficult and challenging, but this is just broken. With the aiming on you can’t make an open shot that is not green. YOU JUST CANT.

I’ve turned the meter off and it is slightly better but it is not realistic by any means.

Does anyone can tell about default freelances on teams, is it again 3-2 offense by default on most team like 2k20 ? And if there are any new freelance offense options.

I know a lot of you are more into MyPlayer or MyLeague/GM; I don't care for either.

Are any of you into MyTeam (specifically offline)? Any thoughts on the available content (not rewards)? I dabbled a bit last year (but late in the cycle); just curious if anyone had thoughts.

Yes, I brought this up a little earlier in this thread. The CPU double teams seem more hard coded for certain players (Steph Curry in my case). I don’t have a problem with double teams but it’s was too frequent and the logic is not built correctly. I can’t tell you how many times Klay Thompson’s man run away to double Steph leaving him wide open.

Hoping for the Next-Gen version the development team can build proper double team logic, remove it altogether, or give us an option somewhere in the settings to disable CPU double teams

Is it harder than the demo? Cant play till after work today, but I thought shooting on the demo was pretty good

I feel it is, yes. More than that, I think it is broken. With aiming I didn’t make non-green shots with Klay in the gym. I am talking about 0/40 (with 4-5 green shots here and there)

re: NBA 2K21 Last Gen Impressions

Has speed boost requirements been confirmed by a dev? Heard it's 86 but then i'm seeing 70% speed with ball 30% ball handle, and others have said 70 ball handle.

I just don't understand what 2k was thinking with this shot mechanic?! If I would've known this. I would not have bought this game.

re: NBA 2K21 Last Gen Impressions

I say this as somebody who has always made a slashing small forward for as long as I can remember, until last year when I had to submit to the meta and make a player who could shoot 3s. If you’re making a player whose game is predominantly based on scoring around the rim, be prepared to have some games where you’re shouting way below 50%. My player has a 90 driving layup and I’m getting bullied, both in MyCareer and in the Park. But I love it because most years (and lets be honest, probably in this years game in a month or so) if you didn’t score inside you were punished by zig zag spamming guards who knocked 3s down without even really trying. Pretty much everybody is struggling to score unless they cherry pick and that’s just detrimental to your team generally. So far there does seem to be a bit of a balance that allows defenders to be good.
