NBA 2K20 is the next installment of the hit series of sports games focusing on basketball. Just like all other installments, the title was developed by Visual Concepts.

Mechanics

The game is based on realism. NBA 2K20 offers powerful gameplay mechanics that faithfully reproduces both the player behavior and typical match play. The devs have obtained all the necessary licenses, including players, teams, and pitches. This applies not only to the eponymous NBA league but also, for the first time in the history of the series, to the women's WNBA.

Adding female basketball players, teams and leagues is the biggest change, but not the only one. The devs have also improved the visuals, controls, and the ball's behavior on the pitch. AI has also been modernized.
