NBA 2K21's images get a facelift in its next-gen version. The lighting is better, and the faces look much more lifelike. A few of the characters in cutscenes still seem somewhat rough, but the players themselves look better than ever.As far as mechanisms, 2K21 doesn't reinvent the wheel with its next-gen version. Including some new cartoons for alley-oops, that are incredibly satisfying to pull off. Additionally, I felt like dribbling and ball movement were only smoother overall when playing on Xbox Series X.

One of the more welcome changes in next-gen 2K21 is that the accession of the G League. Now, when coming out of high school, players can choose to take the conventional path to the NBA and go to school, or enter the G League. While college will provide the players with greater vulnerability and lovers, the G League can help them hone their skills faster, with increased progress on badges and skills.

2K21 also fixes a few of those annoying problems I brought up in my own review, as players can now change the camera angle at high school, faculty, and also the G League. Despite some solid changes and additions, MyCareer still feels unbelievably grindy. VC is hard to find unless you dump a part-time project's worth of hours to the match, or crack open your wallet. Players can now hop into The W, a style that lets them make their own WNBA superstar. It is an awesome slice of representation to a frequently ignored basketball team, though the mode is not nearly as fleshed out as 2K21's other center modes.

The City is a brand new edition in NBA 2K21 on next-gen. Composed of a bunch of smaller parks and areas, The City is almost a huge version of The Neighborhood. There's more courts, that is nice, but the pros stop there. You still have to buy a ball for 25k VC simply to play with friends on a personal court, and the hosts are still really shoddy. NBA 2K21 on next-gen sees a great deal of developments to the basketball sim, but ironically only boosts the areas of the game that were really good.

Looking at our review of the first release of NBA 2K21, nearly all my cons are still present. MyCareer's narrative remains shallow, the internet servers are still aggressively fair, and microtransactions are still intrusive. When you add the fact that 2K did not offer free updates for existing owners, forcing them to buy the $100 version or buy it separately for $70, it is hard to say NBA 2K21 on next-gen is your much-needed redemption for a continuously unsatisfactory franchise.
