Now, the developers have responded. A tweet from the NBA 2K20 account states:
2K Community
Although many of the issues seen after launch have been fixed, we know there are still others we need to resolve. Our Dev team is working around the clock to prepare an upcoming patch that will address other significant issues
Thanks for your patience
One of the most glaring issues with NBA 2K20 is how the PC version’s launcher shows the icon for last year’s game, NBA 2K19, on the taskbar.
Some of the other issues included extended loading times and various instances of bugs and other oddities.
NBA 2K20 is currently sitting on an overwhelmingly negative rating on Steam from 2548 reviews at this time of writing.
