NBA 2K20 Demo: 10 Reactions You Need To Know

6. It Doesn't Go Easy On Weaker Players

Don't expect to breeze past Golden State during your first playthrough. Steph Curry and his Warriors appear to operate on a higher difficulty level than your AI teammates, which spells trouble. Add to that the fact MyPlayers have the stamina of an 80-year old asthmatic and it's not easy to get the win.

Curry and co seem slightly overpowered, to be honest.

The new shot metre makes it easy to miss what seem like simple shots, and AI players constantly miss seemingly-simple lay-ups when they should be nailing them. On the other side of the ball, Golden State are dynamite with their shooting. There were at least six or seven examples of the Warriors hitting contested threes.

The aforementioned fatigue issue rears its ugly head as early as quarter two as well. When that Gatorade icon appears next to your MyPlayer, forget about sprinting back to help out on defence, and forget about the chances of a rapid breakaway. This demo will seem brutally difficult to any newcomers checking out the series for the first time.
