You watch cut scenes, get to play brief moments of matches until you’re subbed off, and it all feels a bit style over substance.
My problem with the single player campaigns of previous 2K basketball games lacks in the playing side. ‘The One’ is where the game towers over NBA 2K because it streamlines all the faff and allows it to breathe. I won’t discount it yet, besides, it still looks amazing. Some of the animations were a bit off, and players can sometimes move unorthodox, but that could be because the game’s not finished. Both teams look and act very much like their real-life counterparts, however, when it comes to sharpness and that finesse in the smallest of detail, 2K still owns it. Steph’s got the post-basket swagger, Draymond Green has the power and dominance when defending, and LeBron James has the speed and ruthlessness on the attack.
In the NBA match you can choose between the Warriors or the Cav, which is great because you’ll get to see how the best players in the league play, look, and interact on the court.
In the demo, you can either play an official NBA match, participate in the single player mode called ‘The One’, or take your game online and play on Venice Beach in a bit of street ball. A demo has just been released on the PS4 and Xbox One online stores, and I’ve put quite a lot of time into it to see if it’s got the potential to rival NBA 2K once again. 2K Games has been dominating the digital basketball courts for some time, and whilst many thought EA would give up after NBA Live 16, they’ve thrown their hats back on the hardwood, revealing the next iteration of their take on one of the most intense and colourful sports in the world.
