So first off, I'll admit I am not a basketball gamer and frankly I'm a peripheral NBA basketball fan. I prefer the college game and wish like crazy they'd bring back CH2k.
That being said - the quality of the NBA 2k series gets my interest each year, and after picking up a PS5 I'm curious about the next generation version. The thing that intimidates me though, is just how in-depth the controls are. It's both a blessing and a curse. For those that know what they're doing - I'm sure the control is fantastic. For those (like me) that are very inexperienced - they're intimidating.
It would be great if there was a beginner/casual mode that was a bit more... automated. What I mean is that, I would love a very simplified controller setup that would still automate and execute all of the multitude of dribble moves, shot types, (Euro)step types, layups, etc, for me. I'm not sure what exactly that would look like, but I equate it almost like either the Retro Mode or Beginner difficulty level in MLB The Show. It really boils down the game for you so that it still appears a pretty good, authentic representation of the sport - but is much more user friendly to someone just looking to pick up and play.
Any chance anything like that is at all possible in 2k or is this a case where I would just need to work through the growing pains and learn some stick skills?

Yeah sounds good. Press A = breakdown the defender and do 5 dribble moves combo. Press X = Dunk. Press A + X = let the cpu do all your dribble moves and dunk so that you don't have to do anything.
Dude just learn the controls, they aren't that hard. Go to 2KU in-game to practice moves. 2KU helps with all that.
No offense but we've had enough casual ballers infiltrate this game and 2K responds with lowering the skill gap so that the hardcore players have to deal with bums with zero skill scoring 30 every game online. Any noob can be ok playing Park / City. Plenty of arcade pick up and play action happening there. This game needs WAY LESS hand-holding, not more.
What's with gamers trying to dumb down every game to suit them? Here's a newsflash: not every game is Fall Guys and things have a learning curve. You should just expect that, accept that, and Adapt. If you don't care to adapt, maybe this game/sport isn't for you.
For example, I know jack crap about soccer, other than every 4 years in the Olympics we all pretend we care, Messi and some dudes, and skippin past Telemundo. I've played FIFA and I suck ***. I get beat 20-0. Do I cry? No. I don't know much about the sport. It's frustrating, if I cared about soccer. But if I actually wanted to have a decent experience, I understand and expect to put some time into the game and start the learning curve. Same thing here.
So to answer your question, yes it's possible, and I wouldn't doubt 2K21 does exactly that for those who can't be bothered to learn the controls, and dumb down the game even more so that people can just hop in and play and be esports champions on Day 1, while the rest of us wonder what the actual eff happened to this once great franchise
