From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_2K):
NBA 2K is a series of basketball sports simulation video games developed by Visual Concepts and released annually since 1999. The premise of the series is to emulate the sport of basketball, and more specifically, the National Basketball Association.
The series was originally published by Sega. Beginning with 2005's NBA 2K6, the series is currently published by 2K (previously under the 2K Sports sub-label). As of 2022, the series consists of twenty-four main installments and several spinoff titles across eighteen different platforms. An official eSports league, the NBA 2K League, launched in 2018.
Until 2018, the series' primary rival was EA Sports' NBA Live series.
All twenty-four of the series main installments have been developed by Visual Concepts. The first six games were published by Sega Sports, before the company sold Visual Concepts to Take Two Interactive, thus forming 2K Sports.
NBA 2K24 was released on September 8, 2023. You can participate in games, upgrade your player’s skills, and make decisions that shape their journey. The Arcade Edition was released for Apple Arcade on October 24, 2023.
The NBA 2K series has achieved consistent critical and commercial success. Elements of the series that are frequently praised include its presentation, specifically its commentary,[137] attention to detail, and soundtrack, its abundance of content, its overall gameplay, and its consistency in terms of yearly releases without any drastic dips in quality.[138] In recent years, the series has been seen by some critics as superior to other basketball games, specifically in comparison with EA Sports' NBA Live series.[1][2][3]
Conversely, later installments have been criticized for their technical issues, particularly in regards to the online components; the introduction of microtransactions; and the quality of some of the more story-focused incarnations of the MyCareer mode.[139][140] The series has also been criticized for the lack of innovations in several installments.[141][142]
Specifically concerning sales, the NBA 2K series has established itself as one of the better-selling video game franchises. A May 2014 earnings call reported that games in the series have sold over 17 million copies worldwide.[143] A report in February 2017, however, suggested that games in the franchise have sold in excess of 68 million copies.[144] According to one analyst, the most recent entries in the series average at least four million copies sold.[1] The best-selling game in the series is NBA 2K14, which sold over seven million copies; it is also Take-Two Interactive's best-selling sports game.[145][146] NBA 2K16 is the fastest-selling title in the series, shipping over four million copies within its first week of release.[147][148] NBA 2K16 sold over 10 million units in 2017.[149] As of December 2018, the series has sold over 90 million units worldwide, making it the best-selling NBA video game series.[150]
Games in the NBA 2K series have been nominated for multiple awards, from events such as the Spike Video Game Awards and The Game Awards, usually related to being the best sports game of the year.[151][152][153]
However, there are 2 games in the series that have been met with a mixed reception, such as NBA 2K21 (current-gen only) and NBA 2K24.
Each installment in the NBA 2K series emulates the National Basketball Association, and present slight improvements over the previous installments. As such, gameplay simulates a typical game of basketball, with the player controlling an entire team or a select player; objectives coincide with the rules of basketball and presentation resembles actual televised NBA games. Various game modes have been featured in the series, allowing for gameplay variety. Numerous elements of the games feature customizable options. Each game features the teams and players from the current NBA season; historic NBA teams and players have also been featured, as have EuroLeague teams and (starting with NBA 2K20) WNBA teams. Fictional players and teams can also be created and compiled.[1][2][3]
