The NBA 2K series has been the premier basketball simulator. The series began back in 1999 and has continued to release every year since then on almost every major platform from the Sega Dreamcast to the PlayStation 5. The series has also spawned its own spin-off titles like NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, an arcade take on the genre with over 450 players to choose from and colorful and outlandish graphics, separate from the grounded and realistic gameplay from the original games. Although with every new entry, the metagame continues to evolve, changing how players shoot, pass, and play the entire game. Here's how players can boost their core stats in NBA 2K21.

Core stats are broken down into 5 different categories, Speed, Acceleration, Strength, Vertical, and Stamina. To increase these, the player will need to purchase attribute points with VC. The best way for players to unlock VC is by going to practice and playing games. Not only that, but the player can visit the Gatorade Training Facility once per day. This will give the player some training exercises that will increase certain attributes with mini-games. Although, these can only be done once per day for the week. Make sure to get into the habit to visit this every day for some easy stat boosts.

While NBA 2K21 doesn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to the series, it does improve on almost every form of its previous entries. The shooting mechanic is a bit tighter and more accurate, the MyCareet mode builds an interesting underdog story, and the meta continues to evolve keeping players invested in competitive play. While the game will be immediately outdated when the next title releases in 2021, it will still be an interesting season for those who wish to play it from start to finish. NBA 2K21 continues to be one of the best basketball games out there.
