Of all the featured players on the NBA 2K cover throughout the years, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are the top picks that have appeared the most as featured athletes of the game. With this, over 140 million copies of the 2K Games' NBA 2K series have been sold worldwide – An unprecedented feat that a game of this caliber has done alongside other Triple-A games.

The game has evolved into this massive staple for sports fans, basketball fans, and NBA fans alike that will surely be a hit regardless if they keep on releasing a new version and iteration of the game every year. Of course, in every version of the game, there are specific features that you will get to enjoy like exclusives to the Legends Editions, the Michael Jordans Editions, and the Anniversary Editions. The roster gets updated per game, but that's not all. With the technological advancements that people get with current technology on the consoles, we get updated life-like graphics, better gameplay, almost real-life and realistic scenarios, and approaches to the games as if you are in the arena yourself.

The NBA 2K24 Experience on PC

With a little bit of background on how and where it all began, we get to see the importance and the value of the experience for the players who are playing the 2K games. From boxhead-looking teams and players on the court, we now get to see, feel, and experience better gameplay and storyline, graphics, as well as features that 2K games' NBA 2K24 has to offer. We will not dive deep into the different modes of the game, rather, give you an overall feel of the game and how it responds to what you want to do while playing inside the court.

Opening the Game for the First Time

Upon opening the game, you will be prompted to create your 2K Sports Account (Don't forget to verify your account because it will be deleted after 48 hours if left unverified). After successfully completing the creation of the account and signing the agreements, you will be greeted by the gorgeous opening video that features Kobe Bryant. In case you want to see the video, we've seen one on YouTube and are sharing it below:

Afterward, you will be able to play different modes of the game. This includes MyCAREER, MyTEAM, MyNBA, Mamba Moments, and The W but in this case, we couldn't wait to test the game out and we tried doing a quick game on the PLAY NOW mode. Of course, our pick was the same as how we did our Nintendo Switch version experience of NBA 2K24 with the LA Lakers against the Miami Heat.

Controls

Similar to how the controls were for the Nintendo Switch Version, on offense, the A button was for passing, the B button was for shooting, and the Y button was for tipping up the ball for an alley-oop. While on defense, the controls were the A button to switch players on the court, the X button to try to swipe or steal and intercept the ball, and the Y button for jumping up and trying to block the ball. The controls were very intuitive and the experience was pretty much the same as in the previous iterations of the game. You have to be careful when swiping or stealing the ball because double tapping it would lead to a foul, jumping in too early would lead to your opponents faking and ending up scoring, and running too much too often would lead to fatigue and deplete your players' stamina.

Graphics

The graphics of NBA 2K24 was astonishing. The details on each of the players were really on point and rendered really well. The ball movement was very fluid and the whole approach to the game itself is a testament to 25 wonderful years of creating this beautiful masterpiece. All the experience that the game developers and publishers have worked on has culminated into this beautiful game, rich with all the details right down to every sweat that each of the players would create while running, shooting, and doing some straight-up basketball action on the court.

Verdict: Is the NBA 2K24 PC Experience Worth It?

We have given the game a 9.5 out of 10 rating for the whole game itself. Whether you are playing it on the Nintendo Switch, the PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or the Xbox Series X|S, NBA 2K24 is the beautiful culmination of the 25 years that the game has brought to its fans. Even with a PC with minimal system requirements, you will still get to experience the beauty that is the NBA 2K24.
