NBA 2K18 was generally well-received by critics, holding Metacritic scores of 80 (PlayStation 4), 85 (Xbox One), and 87 (PC). The Switch version had more of a mixed reception from critics, with a Metacritic score of 74. Among basketball gamers, the reception was far less favourable, in part due to the heavy emphasis on Virtual Currency and microtransactions. User scores on Metacritic were as low as 1.6 (PC and X1), 1.7 (PS4), and 4.4 (Switch). In addition to what many gamers felt were greedy tactics regarding VC, legacy issues and problems with the new motion engine were also cited as negatives, though these elements were not universally panned in user reviews and reactions.
 
 
Despite the backlash, NBA 2K18 became the best-selling game in franchise history, with over 10 million copies sold. The game also showed an increase in "recurrent revenue" from microtransactions over NBA 2K17.
