Last year, I published a predictions piece for NBA 2K19 and less than half came true. Let's see if we can be a
little more accurate this time around.
My biggest complaint with NBA 2K19's gameplay is its speed threshold. The difference between fast
guards and big men just isn't wide enough. Guards aren't able to take
advantage of the mismatches on the perimeter, and this creates uneven
gameplay across the board. A few hardcore players and I have pointed out
this issue over the past six months. I'm hopeful the 2K developmental
team heard the outcry and did something to improve this aspect of the
game.
Last year's game featured Dodgeball, cages with trampolines and a host of other over-the-top competition and activities. I'm expecting
to see more of the same in NBA 2K20. 2K has been inching toward building
a more living and breathing virtual community. The more it expands on
the Neighborhood, the closer it comes to establishing that goal.
EA Sports did a good job allowing users to customize their personal courts
in NBA Live 19. NBA 2K19 had MyCourt and there were some things you
could make your own, but the options weren't as expansive as it could
have been. I'd expect to see that aspect of the game built out in NBA
2K20. Perhaps we'll be able to post images on the walls in a way that is
similar to the arena design feature in MyTeam, MyLeague, and MyGM.www.nbamtcoin.com
