![]() ![]() However, when you consider the amount of audio work done with the WNBA and the NBA, it’s worthy of a mention. We might take the commentary for granted sometimes because it’s been good for so long. Thankfully, none of that ruins the experience, and MLO fans can still enjoy this incredibly deep and annually ambitious mode. Inviting friends requires you to manually input their names, and there are still a couple of issues with contract extensions. It appears they have made good on that promise, though there are still a few issues. The offseason, which is the highlight of the mode, didn’t work well, and 2K promised to have that repaired for NBA 2K20. MyLeague Online Appears to Work This Year His work along with the rest of the 2K art team has produced new versions of young Ray Allen, an improved Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and more. One of the best decisions the company made was to hire Rytis Gineika aka R4zor to assist with the restoration and creation of classic player renders. To augment the retro aspects of the game, 2K has updated a number of the legend renders. New Legend Renders Add to the Depth and Presentation Now, if we could just get the old-time filters back for the retro teams, I’d be 100-percent pleased on this end. NBA 2K20 added classic teams, tons of new legends and it brought back the All-Decade teams. The Deepest, Richest Homage to Hoops Historyįor years, 2K has been the best publisher of sports video games when it comes to paying an homage to the history of its sport. I applaud these wrinkles as long as they don’t take away from the core concept, which is basketball.Įvery so often, I have an itch to do something that isn’t exactly simulation hoops, and to have these options in place is a positive. Many have poo-poo’d the addition of cowboy dodgeball, the circus elements and the other extras we see in the Neighborhood, but not me. I can see myself playing more of it this year than I have in the past.įun Diversions Don’t Take Away From the Core In any case, this mode plays more realistically than it has in the past, but still maintains its arcade charm. They play 2K competitively, but many of them are casual basketball fans. The PARK is still mostly for a group that I like to refer to as competitive-casuals. PARK Takes a Step Up, While Maintaining Its Arcade Feel If it isn’t, it has the potential to become perhaps an even more entertaining Esports vehicle than the 5-v-5 games at Jordan Rec. Hopefully the experience isn’t littered with poor connectivity in the future. The 3-on-3 Pro-Am concept is a winner conceptually. I’ve never been one to spend a ton on VC, but others who have taken that route will likely see that it isn’t necessary in this year’s game. It has created a more user-friendly experience that is much less of a money drain than it has been in the past. I’ve already identified multiple ways to upgrade my guy without spending money.ĢK’s objective this year is for players to make multiple builds, and because of that, the rise to 99 has been made shorter. Sure, you can spend VC to accelerate your player’s growth, but it’s not necessary. The M圜areer Grind Is Shorter and More PurposefulĢK isn’t draining your pockets in the drive to reach 99 overall this year. ![]() For those reasons, I still consider it a strength and not a weakness. It reminds me a bit of The Journey in the FIFA series with its pacing and incorporation of real NBA concepts like G League and The Combine. From the voice acting to the story, I feel engaged as things move along. That said, this one is incredibly well done. I’m of the belief, the M圜areer experience tells its on story and a pre-written one isn’t necessary. Overall, MyTeam offers as much entertainment as you’ll find in any mode. It cuts down the non-basketball lineups we were seeing in NBA 2K19’s version of MyTeam. ![]() The new position-locking system is one of the best new additions. It’s a matter of learning to use the cards that are in your collection. Oftentimes, the newest release really isn’t better than some of the others that are out and much easier to get. Many users confuse the newest cards with the best cards. If you don’t want to spend money, there are more than enough ways to earn MyTeam points that will allow you to compete with any team you’ll face in the mode. Despite what you’ll hear from many people, you don’t have to spend a ton of money to be competitive. ![]() There is so much to do, and so many ways to play. I fully expect it to be diluted through the year with an abundance of cards to keep fans pining for the latest release. I love the work put into MyTeam this year.
