'NBA 2KVR Experience' is a new video game from NBA 2K, the franchise that produces the most popular licensed NBA video games on the market. Rather than launching a competing offering, however, NBA 2KVR Experience is a game in an entirely different field: virtual reality.
The NBA has consistently proven itself to be a sports league committed to pushing ahead and remaining on the cutting edge of technology. NBA 2KVR Experience is another example of that. In the game, users play as Paul George, a perennial NBA All-Star and NBA All-Defense team member. The game takes place in George's home arena, the Indiana Pacer's Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where users can play through a series of mini-games. These arcade-style games include a three-point contest and a skills challenge.
