Sports games go hand-in-hand with games console launches like LeBron James and retweets. Except this has not been an ordinary year at all: the basketball season only just concluded after being played in an empty gym in front of virtual audiences and NBA 2K21 is the only sports simulation available on the PlayStation 5 to now. That will change come 4th December, when FIFA 21 and Madden NFL 21 are slated to release, but credit to 2K Sports for becoming ready in time. In fact, we have got to doff our New York Knicks-branded baseball cap to the publisher, as this isn't your typical new creation up-res. The next-gen variant of Visual Concepts' uber-popular b-ball brand shares some similarities with its current-gen counterpart, but it's by and large an all-new match. Considering how solid the PlayStation 4 version was when it was released earlier in the year, that is an impressive achievement.
So, what's different? Well, where do we even begin? Movement mechanics are completely re-written, meaning gamers will now plant their feet exactly as you expect them to; there's no sliding into position and awkward snapping into cartoons, as everyone on the court will require the requisite actions to get them wherever they have to be. It could sound like a minor thing, but it gives you a larger connection between the DualSense and the star you are controlling. Trying to bundle your way to the paint when you're being boxed out by a 7'0" beast-like Nikola Jokic is like trying to run through a brick wall, while you now get much more realistic contact during dunk and layup chances when you are at the rim. Though the simulation was by no means weak on the PS4, it feels that little bit more polished about the PS5; the result of some seemingly limitless list of under-the-hood improvements and alterations.
The one thing we will say is that some of the game's cartoons are beginning to show their age, and there's still function 2K Sports may do to emulate real basketball . Evidently, this is a very fluid game, but the improved visuals do highlight some bizarre or unusual animation alterations that detract from the total illusion. In reality, these problems are equally prevalent outside of gameplay, during timeouts and half-time, when players dive lifelessly into the ether through dead eyes.
The Oscar-worthy narrative of Junior, son of a former high school point guard played with Jesse Williams, yields -- with an entirely new branch of storyline to explore. As it is still possible to choose to go to school as in the PS4 match, now you can also choose to play with 10 games in the G-League prior to making it to the NBA. You'll earn more VC -- the game's virtual money -- should you decide to take this path, but the matches are obviously more difficult to the under-specced avatar.
