MyGM, which places you into the shoes of MT 2K22 a team's General Manager, is a mode worth mentioning. You call the shots for everything out of roster moves, trades, ticket costs, promotion, and personnel decisions in hopes of building a successful franchise. It's a sports management simulation dream, but affects here are only skin deep.

You will undergo awkwardly written and animated dialogue scenarios to manage relationships in your organization--like how I chatted to RJ Barrett about the way he used to play clarinet so as to boost his morale stats, or became the yes-man of head coach Tom Thibodeau to keep him happy.

MyGM's menus are also flooded in a means that makes it difficult to browse and get a grasp of how to spend your limited resources and time through the season. I've enjoyed this mode previously using its RPG-like sensibilities, but it's one that requires a serious revamp.

I can run down every other mode of play or attribute in NBA 2K21, but I'd really just be going through the laundry list of items we've seen in years ago --although I do need to point to the continued inclusion of the WNBA. It's a great attribute for current fans and those who wish to familiarize themselves with WNBA players and teams. Where this falls short is that the WNBA is relegated to only season play, and the addition of female participant creation is just featured in the upcoming next-gen variations of this match.

NBA 2K21 shows that the lone basketball sim we've now has mostly stagnated. It's a complete package, for certain, but one which shows little-to-no motivation to improve upon itself. That does not eliminate the powerful foundation which makes NBA 2K an enjoyable and rewarding time. However, when you go through precisely the same grind and the exact same process with only superficial modifications, you just get burnt out faster than many years before. If ball remains life, NBA 2K21 is as good a model as any to Buy NBA 2K Coins pick, although even the best ballers need a rest.
