Other platforms
The NBA 2K games have been one of the longest-running sports games that 2K Games have ever produced dating back to 1999. We have seen some great NBA games over the years and here is a list to help narrow down your search for the best ones ever.
I didn't regret at all that they had a free digital copy of 2k16 after I already brought a physical. The cover was awesome as well with The Beard and Curry. This was really one of the best 2k games as I really took playing to the next level beginning on this game

its the best, the controls are easy and fun
The NBA 2K14 edition features LeBron James, who has an entire game mode devoted to him. Also, 2K Sports and EuroLeague signed an exclusive multi-year deal to include teams in the game.

Happy to see the best NBA 2K game on the top of this list. I know the graphics and some features have improved in the latest versions of 2k, but the career mode in 2k14 is just the best, better than 2k13 and 2k11, which are both also very good. I have already played around 10 characters in the 2k14 career mode and each one of them is as enjoyable as the other. My fave was my character that was 6'10" and a 3pt specialist! 7-time MVP!!! More

I didn't played this game much as there is always a new version ready to overtake the awesome predecessors. But I know this much that this game was epic as hell, though there are better NBA games out there you need to know about More

This will always be one of the best nba 2k games ever. 2k14 LeBron was always unstoppable plus I have created great players here in career mode. So enjoyable!

I played NBA 2K14 for about four hours yesterday. I really enjoyed the My Career mode of the game.
NBA 2K15 features a number of significant gameplay improvements, including approximately 5,000 new animations, all-new defensive AI, shooting systems, new team-specific play sets, and more control over rebounding, steals, and blocks making players feel engaged in every basketball decision and action.
by Richard Warren
I really like playing sports games on PS4, but most of all I like basketball. Of all the NBA 2K games I've played, and I've played them all, NBA 2K15 is the best. Best graphics, best commentary, best everything.
Featuring an enhanced MyCAREER mode and all-new gameplay features, NBA 2K13 let gamers pit the best players in NBA history against the new dynasty of talent, including the much-debated matchup between the 2012 U.S. Men’s National Team and the 1992 “Dream Team.”
by Kai Long
The problems with this solution is that 2K13 isn't actually considered one of the better games in the 2K series. While the description does give a run down of new features, it completely ignores the fact that these features were only considered new when the game first came out. Subsequent versions of the game have retained these features, refined them and then added more features on top. More

I swear to god the greatest NBA 2K game of all-time. It was easy to score and there were no annoying double teams coming at you. You can easily go through the defense and it's not like NBA 2K18 or 2K19 where there is like a 70% chance of losing the ball. There was also no storyline in the MyCAREER mode, which makes the game more simpler. Who wants to go undrafted in MyCAREER. I know I don't. I miss this type of game and this was also the last time 2K had the 'Creating a Legend' mode. More

Great solution. NBA 2K13 is a NBA 2K game.
by Wayne Wheeler
NBA 2k13 is my favorite 2k game probably because it is the last game where Derrick Rose was given a good rating. Remember prime and injury-free Rose? Damn he was good! Love this game because it Rose and the Bulls are practically unstoppable here, especially if you know how to play the game. More
by Humberto Domínguez
What i appreciate about this 2k game is how they introduced the right thumbstick-based Dribble Stick, which marries the Freestyle controls of last generation’s NBA Live. I prefer it than the previous controls

NBA 2K13 is a great game for any basketball fan, and it's probably the best NBA game currently available. There are plenty of players to choose from, and the gameplay is great. More
NBA 2K18 is a basketball simulation game from Visual Concepts and 2K Sports. It is the 19th installment of the NBA 2K series and was released in September 2017. It features the new game mode: Run the Neighborhood mode.
by Elizabeth Valdez
By the time you get to the 19th installment of pretty much anything, you know the maker of the game is basically just pushing out a sequel because they can. If you own any of the other recentish 2K games, this just isn't worth it as it offers very little in new game play and everything else is just transport. More
by Ann Lane
There are a few improvements they can make, especially in player-coach interactions, I think this game would have been improved if there was also a feature on team chemistry. Well, you cant have it all. More

its wack... 2k15-2k16 is better they need to go back, those were the fun days.

NBA2K19 WAS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN 2K18
by Jason Flansburg null
2k16 best
by Charles Dunn
This is a good solution to the problem. NBA 2K18 is the 19th game in the NBA 2K series. It is a popular game among basketball fans.
NBA 2k17 is a basketball simulator game developed by Electronic Arts that includes leagues, tournaments, championships, legend mode, in which you can play with legendary players and teams.
by Wayne Baker
@Sergio, I know the cheese was dumb but once it was removed it was back to its normal great game self, especially the MyTeam mode. Man that was awesome! I practically made the Celtics unstoppable in that game and I enjoyed it very much. More
by Octavian Rothschild null
I felt like a superhero with the dribble move speed boosting, utilization of effective screen game, and ability to dominate on both ends of the court with my LeBron James build for mycareer. 2k18 and 2k19 attempted to remove this aspect of the game, and has suffered for it. The new 2k20 game seems to have realized this mistake, and has corrected to a slight extent, but I doubt they’ll ever embrace the ideology that made 2k17 as great as it was. I have so much more to say, but I suppose I’ll leave it at that. Don’t want to make the review too long. More

Worst 2k ever with the double team cheese!!!
NBA 2K11 introduces some new features, several of which involve cover athlete Michael Jordan. The "Jordan Challenge" is a game mode that follows ten of Jordan's career accomplishments. Also included in NBA 2K11 is the ability to play with some classic teams from the past, for example, the 1986 Boston Celtics or 1998 Chicago Bulls.
by Liu Ma
2k11 was the first NBA 2k game that I played and I enjoyed it very much, especially the My Career mode where you get to control the careers of any NBA star, for a challenge I tried to make a shooter out of brick-laying machine Ricky Rubio and I succeeded, probably one of the best feelings of success in my gaming history!!!

by Víctor Escobedo
NBA 2K11 is a great basketball play game. It also includes a game play mode that lets you play with some classic players
by Vincent Reid
The Jordan Challenges are what makes Nba 2k11 one of my favorite ones ever. I like how they simulated his career achievements numbers into the challenges and I really enjoyed those. Franchise mode isn't bad too as it has quite realistic GM logic
MoreThe 2k9 edition was one of the most acclaimed of the series. With new features like iso-motion Pro, Shot Stick Advanced, Adaptive AI, All-New Broadcast Team and better replays & cut scenes, created for a best immersive experience.
by Jean Morgan
As a throwback game this will be great, especially for a Laker fan like me. It featured one of the best periods in the Boston-L.A. rivalry, when Kobe-Gasol-Odom went toe-to-toe with the Celts' (bought) Big 3 (LOL) Don't @ me Boston fans. More
by Philip Ryan
I think that NBA 2K9 was one of the best NBA 2K games as there were so many features in the games. I found the best features to be the better replay and cut scenes. More
