The offseason can last forever, and NBA fans still have to wait for the return of basketball. For many that is simply too long. If you are craving to get back on the court – look no further than 2K Sports.MyTeam Coins

The NBA 2K series is up there with the best sports games around, but it is far from perfect. Fans have been crying out for plenty of changes over the years.

With it looking unlikely that we will see an NBA Live title from rivals EA Sports this year, basketball fans hopes lie solely with 2K20, but how does the game shape up? What tweaks and new features are there to entice fans into parting with their money?The gameplay in 2K20 feels better than ever. The main thing you notice when playing the game is the improvements to player movement that the new upgraded motion engine brings.

Anybody who played 2K will know the stress of having Isaiah Thomas on the breakaway only to be chased down by Dirk Nowitzki, it just wasn’t realistic and was a real gamebreaker for a lot of players.

Fortunately, this doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore. As was noted in a gameplay blog last month, 2K told fans that they have done research into players sprint-speed and accelerations times and early signs lead us to believe that that has finally been nerfed.

Another noticeable improvement regarding gameplay is the new signature dribble styles and improvements to ball handing. This just makes the game feel so much more realistic. The new standing dribble moves take some getting used to though, as players now have to make every single movement themselves, the game no longer has pre-sets, but once you get the hang of them, boy are they effective.

MyTEAM is the one mode which never seems to capture fans in the way other modes do. It feels the same again this year.

As earlier reported, players have the choice of one of five Evo cards to begin their team: Derrick Rose, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, or Hakeem Olajuwon Evo. It looks like McGrady will be the best of these, but you can’t really go wrong with any of them.

The Daily Login prizes look like the biggest improvement in the mode. It should really help to cut down the gap between those who pay to win and those who play to win, as playing will now finally be rewarding.

The changes to the Triple Threat mode are cool as well, you will reap the rewards if you can stack up wins and the change to the CPU lineup, coming up against three randomly selected players rather than pre-sets means you’re always on your toes.visit homepage
