NBA 2K21 has a plethora of things to do. Some will gravitate to MyLeague for grand-scale teambuilding in online competition. Some will play solo through MyCareer, slowly building up an NBA legend. Others will head to The Beach and spend tons of time breaking ankles and taking it to the rim in ProAms. In a year in which it would have been easy to copy and paste the last NBA 2K game, 2K21 has a lot of "new" going for it. However, once players dig deeper, additions like The Beach don't really feel any different than the old Neighborhood from previous years. And other changes, such as the shooting mechanics, are a step in the wrong direction. Overall NBA 2K21 feels like a bit of an off-step, but it is still a solid basketball experience.
Playing on real-life courses in PGA TOUR 2K21, scoring a perfect hole in one, and hearing the crowd erupt is special. Career mode is a blast, and beating Justin Thomas (cover athlete and number one player in the world) to the FedEx Cup is great. The difficulty level of the game can be brutal, with the timing of the swing being a legitimate pain. But the options that are available allow players to progress at their own speed, which is nice. Thanks to this, a deep multiplayer experience, and endless course options from the Course Designer, PGA TOUR 2K21 is about as replayable as a golf game can get. PGA TOUR 2K21 is a very fun game, and with it, the golfing simulator is officially back.
