About this game
NBA 2K20 puts offensive decisions in your hands through Pro Stick control, pick-and-roll plays and dribble size-ups used against defenders. Its basketball simulation also includes WNBA teams in Play Now and Season modes, with animations made for the women's game. Commentary and arena-specific crowd audio accompany the matches. For existing owners, the present scope is offline basketball. Offline modes remain playable, but online game modes have been discontinued, and MyCAREER and MyTEAM are unavailable. Within that boundary, the game offers individual match play and the WNBA season structure; the original online career and card-collection features should no longer shape expectations of what you can play.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Relevant to players seeking offline basketball possessions and WNBA play, with connected progression no longer part of the offer.
Pick-and-roll play and dribble size-ups give basketball-minded players different ways to approach a possession. The fit now depends heavily on enjoying offline matches and seasons, because the former career and team-collection modes are unavailable.
Strengths
- Combining pick-and-roll plays with individual dribble moves can suit players who like varying their offensive approach.
- WNBA match and season play gives fans of the women's game a specific reason to explore the remaining basketball content.
Weaknesses
- The loss of MyCAREER and MyTEAM substantially narrows the appeal for players motivated by those progression modes.
Who it is for: Existing owners interested in offline basketball, offensive decision-making and WNBA teams.
Play notes: Online modes, MyCAREER and MyTEAM are unavailable; the remaining offline modes define the playable scope.
