As a consumer, I'm fine with that strategy.
As we have seen in the gameplay trailer that published last month, the images will be almost identical, if not equal to NBA 2K20. While this could be an issue for some, I'm fine with this bit of 2K MT stagnation. It is not likely to get far better on PS4 and XB1 than what we see here. Second, it would be absurd to think 2K would love to invest in improving the product visually if they stand to profit from providing a next-gen version that'll be hyped up mainly because of how amazing it looks. 2K and every other producer of annual sports video games may want the gap between current and next-gen to be somewhat evident from a visual perspective. As a consumer, I'm fine with that strategy.
Soundtracks are cool and all, but quite honestly, I struggle to find that the authentic long-term worth in investing too much into this part of a game. That said, we have already seen the soundtrack that will be in the game and based on your own personal tastes, you're either elated, frustrated, or could care less about the songs contained. I'm good with what's coming on that front, as far as commentary, I will wait for the next-gen models for a significant leap in this area. Some really cool things could be done to make what is already very good opinion in the game even better.
Here's part of where 2K and EA should really bring the heat. I'm not necessarily speaking about delivering new ways. Again, that is next-gen can wow us. I am more referring to fleshing out present ways. For instance, I have already stated that with no salary cap feature in MyTeam, I'm probably not going to Buy NBA 2K21 MT provide that aspect of the game much of my time this year. To a lesser degree, but similar, the same can be said for a draft feature. Madden, FIFA, MLB The Show, along with the NHL series have excellent versions of the concept in their collector manners.
