Which NBA 2K is the best of all Time
The Ultimate NBA 2k Showdown
NBA 2K17 VS NBA 2K20

My Reasons for 2K20 being the better 2K
1. The addition of the WNBA being implemented into the game. It's important to get the women's involved into things especially video games to have more of a broader audience. it debuted in the game starting in 2K20 tis is important because this was the year the NBA 2K seen a boost in sells as well.
2. A new record recorded of sells in less than 1 year. it’s #1 all-time in terms of sales, having over 14 billion units sold across the world and having over 1 billion sold in less than a year. These numbers are very important because it was the first time 2k ever did these types of numbers, but I think it’s because kids especially had more time to play the game due to the Covid pandemic you had more time at home because you either had no school or was doing it online.
3. The overall good you get out of playing this video game. In my opinion I think the good outweigh the bad because the good thing about the game is that it introduces new gameplay features. And the bad thing is that they keep certain things in the game like the players' hairstyles the same and gameplay features that ultimately got fixed later down the line.
4. Evidence from other players that this is the best role player game they've ever played. This just shows how good of a game 2k20 was and how people at the time of when this game dropped took so good of a game for granted. It goes into detail on why 2k20 is probably the best roleplaying game ever created, and this is because of the game playing modes that were added to this game and also the good action mechanics this game provides as well.
Counter argument/Rebuttal
Counter-Argument: 2K20 often gets bashed online for having a lot of bugs and glitches or even server issues within their game, which is ultimately why a lot of people may not have 2K20 the best game of all time and would have 2K17 there instead. This effected player experiences in the game making it harder to play for some people.
Rebuttal: Just like every other 2K 2K20 often had in game updates and patches to fix this problem. Heres a 2k Guide in the view more tab that provides information about the weekly updates that is in 2K20.
Thesis Argument
Join the Debate
NBA 2K20 is better than 2K17 because it's like comparing a smartphone to a flip phone in a sense because NBA 2K20 is newer than NBA 2K17. The game offered better improved graphics and new and improved online-gameplay features that looked more promising than the previous 2K game Providing a more polished immersive basketball experience for the players.

Conclusion
Determining which 2k is the best of all time takes time looking into the games and seeing if they offer good gameplay, graphics, or community reception. While I think 2k20 is the best 2k due to the influence it had on me, it had flaws to it just like every other video game had but it had counter like having weekly updates to keep the game up to date and fixing bugs or glitches making the game better to play.
