nice
not a great game but its the only basketball
Je ne suis pas une vache à lait. J'ai acheté 2k15, 2k21 et je ne peux plus jouer car ils ont décidés de fermer la partie en ligne (le mode de jeu que j'aime est "my career" qui nécessite de jouer en ligne alors qu'on peut tout à fait jouer en solo). Comme dirait Itinéris ... Pas content !
NBA 2K21 on PC is… genuinely awful. This game is somehow more broken than usual, and that’s saying something for a 2K release. The gameplay feels busted beyond repair—like trying to hit a jump shot with a non-green, slightly early release, blindfolded, on a lag spike. Nothing feels consistent, responsive, or rewarding. Bugs? Yes. Jank? Constant. Fun? Absolutely not. And let’s be real for a second: sports games on PC just don’t go together, and this is a prime example of why. Poor optimization, questionable support, and a general feeling that the platform was an afterthought at best. Honestly, having Damian Lillard on the cover somehow feels like a negative strike on his legacy. Sorry, Dame—you didn’t deserve this. Avoid it. Skip it. Pretend it never happened. 0/10 Don’t recommend. Don’t reinstall. Don’t even think about it. 🏀💀
Absolutely loved this game, real shame the servers are gone. Probably the last 2k that I enjoyed playing and looked forward to hopping on to. One of if not the greatest 2K’s OAT.
