New NBA 2K21 Gameplay Trailer Offers Why Everything is Game

Earlier today 2K released a new gameplay trailer, this time captured from current generation consoles, which highlighted the game’s biggest stars. Particular attention is paid to another cover star in the shape of Damian Lillard, while the soundtrack is Stormzy’s ‘Audacity’.

With the gameplay trailer just releasing today, 2K has so far not revealed many details about what tweaks have been made to the gameplay from last year’s installment. 2K20 probably had the best defensive mechanics of any NBA game ever, so they aren’t likely to tinker too much with that. However, They have clearly changed the jump shot meter, which now runs horizontally rather than vertically, and is clear with a dot rather than filling up with red.

It looks a little bit more arcadey than previous versions, and the trailer did focus a lot more on skills and dunks than it did on the breadth of features. A sign that NBA 2K21 is pivoting towards more thrills and spills mentality, or just a flashy trailer designed to catch the eye? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Appropriately, the trailer stars Portland Trail Blazers star and current-gen cover athlete Damian Lillard.


There are some new dunk and dribble animations, but some of the most notable nuggets from the trailer are the brand-new shot meter, which you can see at the 0:07 mark of the video Lillard’s step back.

It’s a more flattened meter, but it’s unclear how this will impact shot accuracy. I have no opinion on it at this point, but you can bet it will be one of the most discussed aspects of this trailer in the coming days.

NBA 2K21 was largely developed during a pandemic, and the current-gen version is coming out just a few months before a next-gen version that must be dramatically better–at least from a visual standpoint.

Because of that, my expectations are tempered for some aspects of the current-gen versions. I’m not expecting a significant graphical leap, and that’s clearly confirmed in the trailer. Also, the NBA Draft nor free agency will have happened, so rosters can’t be updated beyond what we see from the NBA’s Bubble action.

Post-release roster updates are likely to come after the next-gen version is available–depending on when or if the 2020-21 season begins.

Because of all of these things, I expect 2K to deliver blow-out versions of their current modes (MyGM, MyLeague, MyTeam, MyCareer (The Neighborhood, which appears to be turning into The World), and more.

Without taking significant steps with each of these modes, NBA 2K21 will look far too much like NBA 2K20.

The Neighborhood clip shows something called 2K Beach, which seems to lead to a new set of outdoor courts, but that speculates. Another piece of speculation centers around this concept going global. In the trailer, 2K accentuates players from other countries and even puts the names of different nations on the screen.

This seems like a hint that the Neighborhood might become The World.

We’ll find out soon.
