- Analysis: FIFA 20: one of lime and one of sand
- Analysis.PES 2020, football was this
NBA 2K20 is a magnificent basketball game that, as usual, floods its multiplayer mode (My Team, the equivalent of FIFA's celebrated and controversial Ultimate Team) with micropayments and virtual player envelopes. In addition, for the first time it includes the WNBA and continues to improve its story mode, which in this case has a considerably mature script and actors like Rosario Dawson or Idris Elba , although the conclusion comes too soon (and the participation of these sum just over 12 or 15 minutes in total). Of course, this year it is much easier to edit and improve the player without financial difficulties.
The truth is that, although this year 2K20 has received many criticisms for its systems to obtain new players in My team, the experience in the rest of the ways completely ignores micropayments and envelopes, so there is no reason to invest again not one euro more in a title that already costs another 60. The problem is that Visual Concepts and 2K Sports devised a campaign that emphasized the - supposedly - entertaining and frantic of this practice, which begins to be in the spotlight of legislators (and rightfully so). Slots and other games of chance are frivolous in a society that begins to show its rejection of gambling and gambling.
Whoever wants to play My team without investing money will be able to do it, but he will face the squads of others who will spend money and there will come a point where the quality in command of the console can do little to the statistics of the rivals. All this tarnishes the two best features of this edition: the story mode and the WNBA.
Although the women's basketball league appears, the story mode only allows you to create a player to compete in the NBA. Personalization, in theory, can be done with an application that scans the face with the phone's camera, but it works so badly that for a moment I came to doubt if it would not be a copy intended for phishing that had been cast in the application store . Fortunately - for me - it was not and my few savings are safe. Of course, I had to create the player with the editor, since it was impossible to use the official app.
In any case, you can always change the look later and other details, such as tattoos or clothing, are unlocked later (purchased with the game coins). The last steps are to choose the position, the style of play and adjust height and weight, which will have an impact (for better and worse) on the statistics.
Once this is done, to the university, where it all begins. Our player - called 'Che', regardless of the name we give him - makes a noble decision that prevents him from playing the last match of the championship and his team loses for it. His projection for the draft had already been affected after deciding that he wanted to complete his university cycle and we must make it rise in matches, training and events .
When we do it - after about three or four hours of play - the story ends: credits - literally - and the NBA. Then we will have to make some other decision, but there is no trace of an entertaining and careful script (also full of topics) that stays in little more than a trailer. The brushstrokes of social criticism do not give, much less, to paint a picture.
In any case, it perfectly fulfills the task of preparing for some first games in which we will spend more time on the bench than playing . Luckily, it does not matter if our performance is zero and we will also charge the virtual currencies with which statistics are improved or movements, clothes and others are bought.
While it is true that these currencies can be paid with virtual money, it is not necessary to do so, at least in this mode. In fact, the story serves to gradually gain ownership is more satisfying than reaching the league as a star. Not everyone can be Lebron James.
Sometimes, especially when you have not yet won the coach's confidence, they sit you in the final moments of the game and force you to see the last seconds from the bench. In principle it might seem like a good idea, but when your team wins or loses a lot and you just see them bounce, when the last play is endless free throws or when you decide to improvise a pitch on the horn, it gets heavy. The third game has already become heavy and the ninth is a nightmare.
It is not very clear how the game decides what will happen in the times when I am not on track - I have won and lost unexplained advantages in two or three minutes - but I got to see Ben Simmons on more than one occasion to throw the triple winner. For those who do not follow the NBA, it is the equivalent of Madrid losing, they get a penalty at the last minute and Chendo throws it out .
Nor does it help the suspension of credibility that ownership be taken from a player that does not exist in real life, had not appeared so far or will go through the facilities even to say hello. Possibly it is a matter of not touching anyone's ego and it cannot be considered a serious failure (let's be honest, much more incredible is that I measure 1.93 and kill DeAndre Jordan in the face and well I swallowed it ), but it is remarkable.
Everything won, bought and improved can be taken to My neighborhood, a place where it is also possible to compete with other players and participate in events. Although here, in theory, it is not necessary to invest money, the truth is that the experience improves considerably with a more competent character . After a walk - when accessing other players is seen - it is evident that the appearance is also important, although it is true that nothing forces the temptation to pay 9,000 credits (the salary of nine games) for a tattoo.
Be that as it may, the loading times and the size of the neighborhood will make anyone who does not want to enjoy online mode and have no special interest in personalization end up enclosing their alter ego at home and refusing to step on the street - virtual - to focus on the game
More than 140 new stars
The other great novelty of NBA 2K20 is the inclusion - finally - of the WNBA . The women's basketball league, in addition, arrives with a lot of work done . Thus, it is not about what seems little more than a wink with a couple of available equipment with which to play friendly, as other franchises have done, but a firm first step that gives the impression of starting a long road hard. We will see, but for now it looks good.
This bet is manifested in some players reflected with the same precision as the NBA players, with considerably faithful statistics and own animations. The Spanish Maite Cazorla and Amaya Valdemoro can attest to this, since they participated in the motion capture sessions.
In this way, Breanna Stewart, Elena Delle Donne, Natasha Howard or Cazorla herself run, defend and throw as they do in real life, instead of being mere 'skins' of the male players.
At the moment the WNBA is not yet available in all game modes, but it is appreciated that it is possible to compete and exchange players season after season against (and with) the other franchises. The logical thing would be for this trend to continue and for NBA 2K21 to expand the story mode so that it is possible to dispute either of the two leagues with whomever we choose as the protagonist. But that, for the moment, we will have to leave it for another analysis.
