The latest in the annual NBA 2K franchise had a troubled release, riddled with bugs and balance issues that rendered the game almost unplayable in its original state. 2K has since been rather diligent in getting the game to a playable standard, with four bug fixes and updates in the two weeks it's been out. However, it's still the second lowest rated game on Steam and community goodwill is still on the fritz.
NBA 2K20 is available now for XBox One, PS4, Switch, and PC.
