MyGM, which puts you into the shoes of 2K MT a team’s General Manager, is a mode worth mentioning. You call the shots for everything out of roster moves, transactions, ticket prices, marketing, and personnel decisions in hopes of building a successful franchise. It is a sports management simulation dream, but changes here are just skin deep.

You will undergo awkwardly animated and written dialogue situations to handle relationships within your business –like how I chatted to RJ Barrett about the way he had 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 means which makes it difficult to navigate and get a grasp of how to spend your limited resources and time throughout the season. I’ve enjoyed this mode in the past with its RPG-like sensibilities, but it’s one that needs a serious revamp.

I am able to run down every other mode of drama or attribute in NBA 2K21, but I’d really only be going through the laundry list of items we’ve seen in years past–but I do want to point to the continuing addition of the WNBA. It is a fantastic feature for fans and those who want to familiarize themselves with WNBA players and teams. Where this falls short is the WNBA is relegated to only season play, and the inclusion of female participant creation is only featured at the upcoming next-gen versions of this game.

NBA 2K21 shows that the lone basketball sim we’ve now has mostly stagnated. It’s a complete package, for sure, but one which demonstrates little-to-no motivation to Buy NBA 2K MT Coins meaningfully improve upon itself. That doesn’t take away from the strong base that makes NBA 2K a fun and rewarding time.
