The verdict
A familiar NBA 2K on PC with decent gameplay, but the servers are shut down, locking MyCareer and MyTeam even offline. Skip it unless you want offline MyLeague/MyGM or get it very cheap.
Great for
Die-hard basketball fans wanting offline MyLeague/MyGM or casual play with friends, bought very cheaply
Main risk
Servers are shut down, so MyCareer, MyTeam and other online-tied modes are unplayable, even offline
