I am casual NBA player, I know very little about basketball and I played 2k20 because it was free, I only played my team and only played offline, however I really enjoyed it! So much so when 2k21 came out I bought it! Big mistake... The shooting on 2k21 is impossible to score and the basic mechanics are terrible. I struggle to understand how a company can get it so wrong. I feel sorry for NBA fans that have to play this game. If you are a casual player I beg you DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
