VC permeates the MyTeam mode again, also. This mode acts as a fantasy-esque build-your-own-team endeavor where you make card packs to unlock players one of a roster which spans multiple NBA eras. MyTeam can be attractive for long-time basketball fans such as myself who have Allen Iverson teamed up with Anthony Davis and can take this dream team roster into
2K21 MT single-player or multiplayer matches. However, the loot-box nature of making card packs--which can be obtained by slowly earning MT points through fresh avenues like challenges, seasonal events, and turning in useless cards, or by purchasing them together with VC--makes the reliance on VC unsurprisingly egregious.
MyGM, which places you in the shoes of a group's General Manager, is a style worth mentioning. It is a sports management simulation dream, but affects here are only skin deep. You'll go through awkwardly animated and written dialogue scenarios to manage relationships in your business --such as the way I chatted to RJ Barrett about the way he used to play clarinet so as to improve his sanity stats, or became the yes-man of head coach Tom Thibodeau to keep him happy. MyGM's menus are also flooded in a way that makes it hard to browse and get a grip of how to spend your limited time and resources throughout the season.

Where this falls short is the WNBA is relegated to only season drama, and the addition of female participant creation is just featured in the upcoming next-gen versions of the game.
NBA 2K21 proves that the only basketball sim we've now has mostly stagnated. It is a complete package, for certain, but one which shows little-to-no motivation to meaningfully improve upon itself. That doesn't take away from the strong foundation that makes NBA 2K an enjoyable and rewarding time. However, when you go through the same grind and
Cheap NBA 2K21 MT the same procedure with only superficial changes, you simply get burnt out quicker than many years before. If chunk remains life, NBA 2K21 is as good a model as any to select, though even the best ballers need a rest.
