Free Agency and the draft are in October this year. Honestly most people should just stick with 2K20 on PC unless they make quite a few changes.

first, not many people have the hardware to run next gen graphics. I am very excited for the next gen consoles... just for the stories that could be told. I mean... take a look at the new Ratchet and Clank https://www.ign.com/articles/ps5-ratche ... rift-apart .... this is just the start of the next generation... who knows what limits they can push in 3 to 5 years.
but, quickly glancing at steam hardware survey (yes, it does have it flaws) here is the results for june 2020

only 9.47 are running the 20xx series while 42.87 are running 10xx or 16xx series
34.59 + 8.28 = 42.87
now, why release a game that 42% people cannot run. and that is not even discounting the folks playing on even lower gpu capabilities... very few people wanted to be part of Nvidia's 20xx guinea pig test benchmark ... especially at those ridiculous prices... most (42% or more) people are holding out for some more reasonable/ powerful/ properly priced GPU's
lastly, nvidia and amd are going to launch their next gen gpu next fall.... but with production down all accross Asia from Covid ... even at properly priced gpu ... both nvidia and amd will not be able to meet demand... because of the manufacturing delays in Asia.... so GPU's are just going to be sold out on launch and the supply will be slow... very slow... with most people getting gpu's anywhere from feb to June.
i find this 2k21 pc decision acceptable and understandable.... more than the 2k14 pc last gen which was just a slap in the face ... but it also became the most modded game longevity wise--due to established tools being availabe.
of course, i won't be buying 2k21... they might be able to smooth some gameplay elements (like how 2k20 smoothed some 2k19 flaws)... but just too many legacy issues.
Personally, i'm more excited for the next nba live game... NBA Live (whether released 2021 or 2022) is going to knock it out of the park (in a good way). hopefully EA will bring it back to PC... if they do, i'd jump ship instantly.
