One of a kind.

One thing I really remember about this game was I got it on a Friday night after work. Picked up some pizza and a 12 pack as well. Get home and the instillation took forever! it was the next morning before I got to play, but don’t think I put it down at all that Saturday. The graphics blew my mind. 

This game got a ton of play on the PS4. I just picked it back up as the newer 2k games just kinda feel blah to me so much so I bought this over 2k21. Thanks for the read.

The graphics jump was huge but the game was really barebones. I prefere the ps5 approach of having all the modes in. Hopefully, the graphics slowly get better this gen each year instead of the opposite like the ps4 gen.

The jump in graphics was enough for me to jump on to PS4. I remember PS4 wasn't on my radar till the momentous trailer showed up. That analyzing of that one trailer in that huge thread was something else.

Still my favorite 2K. The Phil Collins trailer was what pushed me over the edge to buy a PS4 (damn, how I miss CowBoom). Yes, it was barebones, but I still prefer how it looks and plays. 2K's since have all felt a little like subtraction by addition, if that makes sense. My "perfect" 2k would be this game with the current franchise/modes and presentation.
