Great game but can use some improvement in game play. Defense is too hard.

This is probably one of the better 2k games that have came out in a while

Actually enjoy playing this game even though they cheat u with the vc

An all around solid 2k title. Improved on last years iteration.

Every year, it feels like it's the same game with minor changes. The AI is much smarter during off-ball movements. All-time teams and historic teams are always cool. MyPlayer story is a nice change. MyTeam seems like the same.

Gameplay but Defense it is horrible has nothing to do with the store

Nice improvement for the game nice step foward for the franchise

Slight improvements from last year, but still a really good game!

2k does it again! Hands down the best sports simmulator out there. Nothing even comes close to comparing! The visuals and smooth controls set this apart from all the other pretenders. Dont get the other get 2k!

Better than last year! I am glad they proved on the game play!

Not many upgrades from the last entry. But good. Good edition.

A must buy for every NBA video fan. Without spoiling everything everyone needs to purchase this product. There’s a lot of new updates from last year that’s worth looking into. Invite your friends over and have fun

NBA2K19 is a Great Game! groundbreaking game modes and an immersive open-world "Neighborhood". NBA 2K19 continues to push limits as it brings gaming one step closer to real-life basketball excitement and culture

I made a last-minute change from getting the standard edition to the legend edition the day the legend edition dropped. No problems and was able to pick up my order within two hours. Everything is great!

Lots of fun and looks great. Can play it all day long.

New faces in new threads new modes what’s not to like

I knew very little about this game but the young man at checkout took the time to explain all of the features! My eighteen year old grandson was awed by this game. To awe a grandchild made my day!

If you enjoy 2k it’s nice. But VC is still a joke.

2k19 is the best game in the franchise since 2k16.

I'm writing from the perspective of someone who doesn't play non-sports titles. As a huge basketball fan, I've played every version of NBA 2K since its initial release on the PS2 in 2001. It goes without saying that the improvement in graphics has been commensurate with each console generation, but I can't say the same about the gameplay. In the effort to develop a realistic NBA-simulation experience, 2K has made overall gameplay increasingly sophisticated over time. This is nice, but I believe most casual fans will find the level of options in 2K19 (playcalling, dribble/post moves, etc) to be needlessly complicated. One positive is that 2k has ironed out some of the basic glitches that plagued previous versions of the game. For example, the offensive team routinely used to get called for the turnover when defenders poked the ball out-of-bounds from behind. There are still gameplay quirks that are equally infuriating (like the inability for 7-footers to make open layups), but at least 2K has addressed some of the most egregious ones. My main frustration with this version of 2K is the online play. I have a 100Mb internet connection, but the matchmaking system is slow and broken to the point where you wonder if 2K is using budget servers. Basic tasks like joining a friend's neighborhood are arduous to the point where you feel like rage-quitting. Furthermore, you will encounter an endless slew of "cheesers" who employ dribble and shooting hacks with impunity. The 2K Dev team always seems two steps behind in this regard; while 2K19 has been a little better when compared to 2K18, the developers consistently seem unable or unwilling to respond to these types of concerns. In addition to my annual 2K purchase, I have spent an inordinate amount of real money on the Virtual Currency system. Given the lack of alternative basketball titles on the market (other than NBA Live), 2K can afford to implement this type of system with off-putting micro-transactions. But one has to wonder how much longer this will last. Even as a lifelong fan of NBA 2k, I find myself hoping that EA's NBA Live series gets to the point where I can finally make the switch. While 2K can be a lot of fun, the recent versions have consistently featured some combination of flaws that ruin the overall experience. I simply can't recommend this game in good conscience.
