Today, 2K is proud to announce that NBA® 2K20, the next
iteration of the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game
simulation series, is now available worldwide. With the release,
NBA 2K20 continues to redefine what’s possible in sports
gaming, featuring best-in-class graphics and gameplay,
groundbreaking game modes, and unparalleled player control and
customization. In addition, with its immersive open-world
Neighborhood, NBA 2K20 is a platform for gamers and ballers
to come together and create what’s next in basketball culture.
“Each year, the team at Visual Concepts aims to push the
boundaries of what’s possible with basketball video games,” said
Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts. “With NBA 2K20,
we’re reaching new heights in all aspects of the game and can’t
wait to play alongside our community of basketball fans and
gamers.”
NBA 2K20 features many new additions and improvements,
greatly expanding upon the foundations established after more than
two decades of development. These include:
- As Real as it Gets - NBA 2K20 pushes the
boundaries of basketball simulation further than ever. Take
complete control of your offense with the next evolution of the Pro
Stick, execute seamless pick and rolls, and evade the defense with
the new dribble size-up system and more.
- When the Lights are Brightest - Executive produced by
LeBron James and SpringHill Entertainment, this year’s MyCAREER
features topical storylines that hit on current social issues. Live
the life of an NBA prospect on a quest for success both on and off
the court, with your path to stardom firmly in your hands. The
cinematic narrative was directed by up-and-coming visionary Sheldon
Candis, and features a star-studded cast, including Idris Elba,
Rosario Dawson, and NBA all-stars past and present. This is the
most visually stunning MyCAREER cinematic experience to date and
brings the journey to life in a completely new and immersive
way.

new MyPLAYER Builder allows you to make decisions on every aspect
of your MyPLAYER’s potential, including choosing your own Takeover

potential.

are in the game and ready to run in Play Now and Season modes.

UnitedMasters, this year’s soundtrack features a diverse array of
top songs from both well-known and up-and-coming artists from
across the globe. As a platform for creativity and discovery, the

top artists. Discover the next big thing in music with live in-game
concerts and first-listen song streams.
