The cover star Damian Lillard had a few changes in mind, which he suggested. 2K took his word for it and increased the height for PG’s in ‘My Career.’ The developers have maxed the height to 6’8, which will appeal to many.
The Pro Stick
2K also highlighted how they’ve made the game easy to pick up for beginners and pleasing for all. The Pro stick has been around since 2017 but this year, it will see some big changes. New controller options for the Pro Stick will pave the way for a smoother experience.
This will result in better dribbling movement and give players access to more intuitive controls.

Redesigned badges and the ability to swap in and out will also make a return this year. However, 2K will remove the quick draw and put release speed back into Jump Shot creator.
2K recently announced that the next-gen edition of 2K21 will be $10 costlier than the current-gen one. This resulted in a heated debate in the gaming community. However, considering the many changes and improvements that 2K claims to have made, it could prove worth the extra money. Hopefully, the devs will drop a demo for the next-gen consoles too when they launch.
