The other area of the game I had been most impressed with 2K21 MT is the dribbling. The capacity to control the speed of your movements can not be understated. It delivers a true skill gap for people who are more comfortable with all the sticks compared to their peers, and if chained together properly with the ideal players, it can create some of their most rewarding moments in the game. Most of what makes the gameplay improved wouldn't be possible in almost any manner if the activity felt as"grabby" because it's in other variations. It isn't as simple to produce the magnetic contact that inexplicably impeded a ball-handler's motion. In previous years, this was the meta on defense, but now it is a bit more about expectancy rather than riding the wave of a faulty mechanic. This is not ideal by any means, but 2K has taken some strides in improving the collision balance between ballhandler and guardian.

One of the things which turned me off about the MyPlayer experience over the decades has been the constraints put on the construction and update procedure. There were numerous limitations because 2K was attempting to keep the game for online play which it just wasn't fun anymore. Some of those constraints are still there, but you now have far more control and this allows you to create players that are simply more entertaining to advance. In 5v5 game, I still find myself wondering why my A.I. teammates create such horrible decisions. They still aren't responding appropriately to double groups, and on crime, there's an inconsistent respect to spacing. This can create some maddening minutes of gameplay.

We'll discuss clipping in another, but that will be more related to what occurs in respect to player bodies. Ball tangibility is possibly more upsetting because when the stone is socialized with, it is imperative that contact is respected and represented from the gameplay. Unfortunately, that does not always occur. I have seen a couple passes travel through the sides of gamers, across a guys' shoe, etc.. In reality, it may be the single biggest criticism I have of this game on any level.

The next-gen variant has multiple commentary groups, and together, there are special guests. This retains the sound presentation in games fresh. Many gamers simply lean in their Spotify playlists, but for gamers like me who really appreciate the broadcast-style demonstration, this a welcomed addition. To proceed with the realistic look of NBA arenas, there is also increased sound. If you go with the air look, you'll hear a good blend of Cheap NBA 2K21 MT flooring sound effects with the crowd (boy do I miss that in real life) and the comment. I'd love to see a halftime show where the comment from Shaquille O'Neal, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith actually matched the clips being shown on the highlight reel. It seems a bit less random on next-gen, but nothing that'll stop me from leaping through it.
