Alright. I'm a massive basketball fan. I have been a fan of 2k since 2k14, when I was in 6th or 7th grade. This, in my opinion, is a good game core ruined by excessive microtransactions. Yet, at it's core, 2k20 is not a bad game. Unlike 18, which had no defense at all and blowby's were incredibly easy, or 19 where a guy like JJ Reddick could play lockdown D on LeBron, 2k20 actually has a good balance of defense and offence. The new badge system is great; it allows for more customization and an overall more unique gamestyle to each player. Post play has been nerfed. Centers being able to be rim protectors and outside shooters is rare. There are still issues with myTeam and myCareer, though. The myCarer story is not good. Somehow even worse than 19, imo. Both are stil microtransaction hell, and it is the samer prk as last year. But, by itself, the core gameplay is good.

I primarily play myLeague, which hasn't really changed. MyGM, on the other hand, is completely different. There is no more just cringe inducing dialogue; you have to deal with sponsorships, meet with players, hold a weekly press conference, and manage all aspects of team business and running operations. That being said, the new action points system kinda sucks. You shouldn't need them to play a game. Plus, quarter length is locked at 6 minutes and I believe difficulty is locked at pro.

Although myGM is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥, I think that the gameplay this year is much better.
