Nevertheless, there 2K21 MT are a couple annoying gameplay problems I have come across, too. Fastbreaks seem slightly enhanced, but player spacing is still clearly off. For example, even my finest three-point shooters will track inside the three-point lineup on fast breaks when they'd be better off locating space in the corner. In general, it feels like NBA 2K21 has not fully adapted to the accent modern NBA basketball has set on the three-point line. Quick catch-and-shoots aren't as common as they should be, and final out is still far too easy on defense.

Likewise frustrating is that the CPU's capacity to make problems for itself. In my short time with NBA 2K21, I've already seen two backcourt violations on wide-open inbounds passes. It functioned as a jarring reminder that I was not, in fact, experiencing a true game of NBA basketball.

From a cursory glance, MyLeague seems to have received almost zero upgrades. The manner has a decent set of features built into it already, but this is the second year in a row without striking improvements. As someone who loves to deep-dive into franchise building, it is really disappointing that there's so little effort being put into the mode.

Luckily, MyTeam has at least ditched its horrible casino aesthetic out of last year. Make no mistake, even though -- even though it looks different, it seems heavily determined by microtransactions and buying packs. As I said in last year's inspection, it is clear the MyTeam's central aim is to extract as much money as you are willing to give up in order to avoid having to grind out mundane challenges to advance, and it will not seem anything has changed in this section.

There does appear to be an emphasis on personalization for MyTeam this year: you can now choose different ability paths for your evolution cards, such as focusing on athleticism or playmaking, which ought to help direct players to better fit under my personal playing style.Over the weekend I will be diving deeper buy mt coins into game modes, including the new single-player story effort, the re-designed Neighborhood, WNBA quickplay, and internet play before wrap up this review prior to the end of next week.
