The 2K series has been the underdog of the sports market for the last decade or so, playing second fiddle to the elephant in the room named EA. Premiering on the Dreamcast way back in 1999, the series has evolved, improved, disappeared and has now resurfaced. Now it’s back on the Android and iOS.
The game features all the stuff you’d expect from a sports game. A career mode, a 3-on-3 quick match and a multiplayer shootout option if you want to play with friends. The game also works with Bluetooth controllers, if you can’t handle the swiping and touching (personally, I can’t!).
The game will set you back $7.99, but it provides a full experience. There are in-app purchases listed on the Play Store, but I couldn’t really find anything too drastic, so it should be safe. I’m always rooting for the underdog, so I recommend NHL 2K for any hockey fan looking to play on the go.
