Editor's Note: These impressions are based upon the publicly accessible demonstration version of NBA 2K21, which allows you to play five total games, each with five minute quarters. As it is intended to give everyone an idea of 2K21 MT what the new variant will offer in its on-court gameplay, we've asked our reviewer to weigh in on the changes he's seen so far as the very first installment of our review beforehand. 2K has informed us that review copies for NBA 2K21 will not be available until September 3, that is basically launch day (officially September 4, but that usually means the night of the former day in our Pacific time zone).

We will have updated impressions of the entire game whenever possible, and we'll try to have our final review prepared by the end of the next week.In a lot of ways, NBA 2K21's demonstration feels like more of the same, compared to NBA 2K20. In my eye it appears almost identical to the past couple of years, and appears to be running out the clock until next-generation consoles arrive before springing for a more significant visual update. Legacy problems, such as the CPU mishandling clock players and Buy NBA 2K21 MT Coins management awkwardly dropping the ball as soon as the shot clock runs out, are definitely still present. Nonetheless, there are a number of noticeable positive tweaks: with the assistance of a few smaller gameplay updates and a new shot-stick mechanic, NBA 2K21's gameplay feels like a baby-step forward.
