NBA 2k24 will be available first on current generation platforms including Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Google Stadia beginning September 4th alongside the Mamba Forever Edition. Next-gen releases of NBA 2k24 will launch afterwards this Holiday 2020 at an increased pricepoint of $69.99 NBA 2K24 MT.

As fans have come to expect, NBA 2k24 does a nice job of balancing depth and accessibility, with everything you need to get by -- passing, ball handling, shooting, defense – being intuitively mapped to the two thumbsticks, face buttons, and L and R triggers. Don’t expect any major new additions, like last year’s Takeover mechanic, but NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts have introduced a variety of welcome tweaks and improvements.

NBA 2k24 is a touch slower than last year’s game, but it actually feels more fluid thanks to an updated animation and motion system. Players are quicker on their feet and the game looks and feels as realistic as it ever has.

Last year’s game did a good job of making shooting less fussy and frustrating, and 2K20 continues in that direction – you can’t be reckless, but if you pick your shots well, you should be able hit jumpers and three-pointers consistently, even with defenders up in your face. Overall, the game feels a bit more offense-oriented this year, which is fine. I prefer to end games with proper NBA-like scores, instead of winning with 70 points. Overall, NBA 2k24 just feels right. Authentic yet empowering, and a huge improvement over where the series was a couple years ago.

Visually, the game’s about on par with what we’ve seen the past few years. The NBA 2K engine is well past its prime, but Visual Concepts manages to squeeze a few more drops of blood from the stone. As you would expect, big stars like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Kawhi Leonard look great, but even most of the second-stringers look okay this time around.

WNBA players, making their first appearance in an NBA 2K game, are a welcome addition, although their character models are a bit inconsistent and generally less expressive than their male counterparts. That said, if I’m honest Cheap MT 2K24, Visual Concepts did a better job with the WNBA stars than I was expecting (the female wrestlers always look downright embarrassing in the WWE 2K games). NBA 2k24 still feels like a top-of-the-line product, even if it’s slipped slightly behind some competitors like EA’s FIFA series in terms of presentation.
