What it is
NBA 2K20 is a basketball simulation and sports game developed by Visual Concepts. The game focuses on basketball control and customization, with an upgraded motion engine, signature styles, shooting controls, a dribble size-up system, and defensive changes. MyCAREER presents a story directed by Sheldon Candis and featuring Idris Elba, Rosario Dawson, and NBA all-stars past and present. The Neighborhood provides a social space with events, animations, a nine-hole disc golf course, and gear. One key limit affects online play: all NBA 2K20 multiplayer servers were scheduled to shut down on December 31, 2021, after which functions requiring online servers would no longer work. The game is listed for Windows and was released in 2019.
