NBA 2K20 Developer Is Dedicated To A Quality Switch Version

I applaud them for the support. The fact that EA holds a monopoly on the NFL and snubs the Switch consistently is another check on the list of their failures.

And why was quality lacking in the first place then?

How about a quality cartridge for once?

$29.99 expansion for quality pass

With take advantage being the key words here.

2K with some choice barbs aimed at EA.

I kinda want to buy these to support them since EA can't be bothered. However I don't like basketball...(or American Football for that matter). Then again I bought 2k19 when it was 4 bucks so I will wait for that.

Remember when the trolls said it would flop on switch after the first game and we wouldn't see any new versions.

I bought NBA 2K18 and it was fantastic having it fully playable on a handheld machine.

Shame I just not massively into basketball. Hard to get heavily attached to the game when having no idea who the players are.

Too bad they don't take advantage of using 32gb game cards. The games sell well on Switch and 2K still wants to be cheap 😒

I have 2K18 & 2K19.
I enjoy them (based on the hours my Switch says I've put into them).
I'm glad they'll be doing more.

So now we do want publishers that make games full of microtransactions on Switch. This place is like Westminster 😅

Anyway,... Do not really follow the NBA like FIFA or NFL. So usually wait for a sale - maybe give Switch a try this year.

Still waiting for Luther Season 5 on Prime 😕

It's great they are trying their best and succeeding, but on the EShop, it says that the game only takes up 7GB

@Ryu_Niiyama why are you calling Football ,American Football do they also have Football in your country?

The NBA 2K games on Switch are pretty solid ports. I’m glad they are putting effort into these ports unlike EA, who puts little effort in the FIFA games on Switch.

@LoveEmpath football means something entirely different to pretttttty much the entire globe except America, Australia, Canada, Ireland and South Africa. This is a UK-centric website.

@DockEllisD What do you mean? Why would you say that if 2K20 isn't out yet? Wait until next year for 2K21.

@LoveEmpath I'm calling it that because that is the name of the sport. Futbol/Football is played in the US too. I'm not calling it "soccer" to make my countrymen feel better.

@mrmememan That's definitely an error. 7GB may be the size of the demo. Just like the other versions, a physical version will require a 32GB download and a massive mandatory 5GB of internal storage space for save data.

@commentlife The complaint was likely because I'm an American. Americans often get up in arms at each other for not calling American Football just Football. Futbol/Football is my favorite sport (well next to hockey) so I'm used to it. I'm still gonna say American Football vs Futbol/Football. The whole "This is Eagleland do what I (because they speak for ALL of the different cultures or people in in the US/s) say or get out" thing is silly.

My usage has nothing to do with this being a UK site. I always say American Football, lol.

Hopefully they finally fix the graphics glitches that has effected 2K18 and 2K19. Sometimes the arms and legs textures will go through the clothing making characters look very weird. As someone who has both I considered 2K19 an improvement but a very minor one.

Personally, I wouldn't bother getting this game until it goes on sale anyways. I have also learned to avoid the deluxe editions as it's just a bunch of crap for some modes I never play.

Don't forget to take advantage of gambling addicts and such.

I got NBA 2K19 when they had that ridiculous sale where it went for $2.99. I like the sport (basketball) very much but haven't really liked or played basketball games in a long while because they don't really give the same feeling I get from watching a game unlike football (soccer) games, which are very much like the real thing. I was pleasantly surprised with 2K19 but it's still not quite there...the terrible controls with annoyingly long delay between performing an action and it being executed just made it very difficult for me to get into it but otherwise I thought it was quite good. If they remove that nonsense in 2k20, I might be interested in that

@Low That is probably because EA is a pathetic publisher that would have been bankrupt by now if it wasn't for their NFL and FIFA license deals.

@Ryu_Niiyama oh haha, I see. I’m Canadian, so sometimes the patriotic nuances go right over my head. Hockey fan here too (they would revoke my passport otherwise). Hoping some of that Toronto Raptors magic spills over to my poor, poor Leafs this year. Not gonna hold my breath though haha.

@commentlife LOL well still better off than me. I'm a recent expat to AZ so I have to root for the 'Yotes (good rookies...nobody knows how to pass though) and then my home team is the Hurricanes (which is a good team when we remember how to play defense). I do like the Leafs though so, go team for you as well! I'm not a frothing at the mouth kinda sports fan so I tend to root for my team but not fall out in the floor if they lose.

@JayJ
Yea, it's not like EA makes a quality Star Wars game either. Too bad Lucas Arts did not sign with someone else. 2K used to made a NFL game and it was more advanced than Madden.

@biglittlejake Yeah luckily Respawn is making their latest attempt at a Star Wars game so there is some hope, but EA being EA I am sure they will find a way to ruin that studio as well.

on the go ripoff simulator, yippee!

no thanks, 2K's sports games aren't any less awful than EA's very own ripoff sports games

@Ryu_Niiyama oh, my heart breaks for that move haha. I was in Charlotte, NC for work a couple years back and it’s absolute magic down there.

This company lost me forever with that terrible WWE wrestling game they released for the Switch. They will need to pay me if they expect me to play their games again.

Is anyone having problems login in to the demo, it doesn't seem to be working for me

@Mycroft depends where in Australia. Go to Queensland or New South Wales and if you say football people will take that as rugby league. Can't stand people in the UK who get all upset when they hear someone call another sport which isn't 'soccer' football.

I am in the UK and if I am talking to friends about rugby league I will sometimes call it footy or football. People need to get a grip!

@DockEllisD Why could you say that it's an demo of an new game?

Have played the previous 2 nba 2k games on Switch and enjoyed them both. The story mode in last year's game was really well acted and very funny at times. Will wait for reviews on this one but leaning towards purchasing.

@DockEllisD No, maybe you didn't saw it clearly.

@biglittlejake Lucas Arts doesn't own the rights to Star Wars anymore. Its Disney Interactive now.

@Gravitron
Star Wars Battlefront and two were made by EA, the most recent games.

Yeah okay show me clothing physics then

@biglittlejake cool all the same Lucas Arts had no decision in any of that.

@commentlife yeah, trying to get into grad school. I miss home terribly though. Didn’t expect to be this homesick. Ah well. Visits will do for now.

@Ryu_Niiyama Good luck!

@DockEllisD That depends on your interest in the game itself.

Now see, this is the kind of developer that should get more switch owners support. They seem to actually care about the product they putting out. We all know that there would be & has to be some sacrifices with the Switch compared to other consoles given the hybrid nature and just looking at the size of the frigging thing. So the fact that they don't just throw their hands up in the are and say well we got it on the system and that's good enough or just act like the trash people running EA and just ignore the system altogether should garner them some love & goodwill on the strength of that. Maybe the clowns that did ritual of the night should've have a read.

@Silly_G Hi this is offtopic but I saw your post about the nintnedo 3ds not turning on due to the 3d being on and the bottom screen being on a level other than 1. I was wondering how were you able to boot the system into screen brightness level 1? (I turned up the brightness from 1 to 3 and the system wouldn't turn on anymore)

@bob2901380 : Hi there. For future reference, you could notify me by quoting or replying to my post in the thread.

What seems to trigger the extreme brightness is when the clamshell is lifted all the way up. You may need to try and navigate the 3DS GUI and turn the brightness down while the system is still somewhat folded, if that makes sense.

And don't hesitate to try again after a few hours or to make repeated attempts. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is exactly, so a bit of trial and error wouldn't hurt, but it would certainly be due to a manufacturing fault on Nintendo's part, and the issue is a bit difficult to articulate.

Unfortunately, this problem is a major hindrance (and if you can get to work for you, the battery drains very quickly).

Let me know how you go as this would also confirm whether we have been experiencing the same problem. At the time that this problem had started happening, I found it a good excuse to upgrade to an XL model (which hadn't been available at the time that the original 3DS had launched).

Unfortunately, I have experienced major problems with three of my five 3DSes, and without sending them in for repairs, perhaps Nintendo thinks that things are hunky-dory on their end.

@Silly_G The thread is locked so is it possible for you to reply here so we can have further dialogue, thanks. https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/3ds/3ds_not_booting_after_turning_up_the_brightness

@mrmememan that's just the demo. The full game will probably be around 32 Gb
