    This is my favorite sports game. The Graphics and animations are very Realistic. This is the best Basketball game on the market even with all of the micro transactions. MyGm is a very fun and immersive game mode. The Story in my player is very good and it is the best career mode in any sports game.

    A masterful work of graphics, game play & buckets! NBA2K19 is such a great game for basket ball and video games lovers alike. The attention to detail and the incredible 4K HDR rendering makes you feel like you're actually playing in the stadium. This game is enhanced for Xbox One X and has incredibly smooth game play. The animations are excellent and they even have a bunch of things going on during timeouts, to give you the entire holistic experience. The MyTeam and the MyCareer modes are excellent and let you create your own MyPlayer card, which let's you ball with players like LeBron and Kobe. The Neighborhood is amazing as well; you get to start your journey and play some street ball. Overall, this is definitely a big step up from NBA2K18. A lot of people ponder over weather they need to get the newer version; I would strongly suggest not missing out on this one. Getting buckets with Curry never got more realistic. I am writing this review as part of a contest.

    You should know what to expect already: solid gameplay, responsive controls, and great variety of game modes. The only major complaint is the amount of grind required for MyCareer and MyTeam, which 2k mitigates by asking for more of your money. Hopefully they can fix this for next year's edition.

    Good Game but Lacking Fresh Feel

    So I really like the 2k basketball series, it plays well, has an excellent online community and offers a variety of game play. Have a couple of complaints with the game, playing your my career if you refuse to spend extra money and buy VC is a real grind. This is compounded by the lack of quickly jumping into games but the overdone cut-scenes, interviews and non-sense that have nothing to do with your character. Second, there is the VC (Virtual Currency) as a whole. 2k has gone with the model of needing VC to do everything, and to earn it through game-play takes time, a tremendous amount of it, to earn minimal rewards. Believe my while your getting your butt kicked while your character is rated a 61 the temptation is there is to get the credit card out and buy VC to get past the grind. Then once you spend it on one character it starts all over for a second one. Be sure you know what character position you want to create when you start. Overall plays well but there is some gripes with it.

    This NBA game is very graphically sound. It has many modes to play in. A career mode, My GM, Season, play as a legend team, etc. Some of the trophies will need you to play online. Some of the trophies will be a grind. The career mode is fun.

    Unlike everyone reviewing this game based on MyPlayer, I'll speak on the things that actually matter in a sports game. The game plays better this year than previous years. Just by making the ball harder to drive and the opponents ankles harder to break, the game has taken a step forward. On offense, though I'm only a few games in, I cannot seem to spam the pick & roll like previous years. I feel like the computer defense tries to adjust to stop your offensive schemes. Also, I personally like the timed layups because it adds a level of I-cannot-drive-in-and-chuck-up-some-garbage-and-make-it-every-time. Now, the game has things it needs to improve: presentation, overall realism/look, and some gameplay flukes. I cannot stand when someone like Marvin Williams has the best game of his career against me...every time we play. Frank Kaminsky shouldn't be taking more shots than Kemba Walker. And that has been a huge complaint of mine for years now. They're too focused on the MyPlayer stuff to work on any actual gameplay. I'd still give the game a solid 8 so far. I'm excited to see how the game adjusts with different teams (will the Warriors play like the Warriors, will the Celtics play like the Celtics, etc...). If you're not in to the MyPlayer aspect, the game takes enough steps forward to warrant picking it up this year. If you're just looking to create a player a cheese-fest, apparently the game isn't for you.

    NBA2k19 is by far the best 2k game out there. When I play it, it really feels as if I’m on the court getting buckets. The defense on there is a little tough but you know me I’m going to score no matter who defending me. The storyline on Mycareer is amazing. I love how he is starting overseas then has to work his way up

    NBA 2K19 is a substantial improvement from last year! This years' version builds upon its strong game-play, fascinating presentation, and includes better graphics and important game-play refinements. Defensive improvements make dribble-drives more difficult and the emphasis on ball control encourages you to learn each players' style of play. There's a learning curve but once you get used to it, you realize it feels more realistic than ever. I love that player ratings are fine-tuned and shooting feels true to the players actual shot. The only thing I wish was a quick-game mode that skips through half-time. This game is a great holiday gift for any basketball fan and I couldn't be more excited to play online with friends. I wrote this review as part of a contest but I stayed true to my opinions and really do love playing NBA 2K19!

    2K has only gotten better year after year. This year is no different. The game is more intuitive and has been fun playing with the kids. The graphics have become more sharper and realistic and makes the game more engaging. Definitely worth the buy!

    Great game. Nice graphics! The clarity of screen is good. The motion is great!don't think this has change much from 2k18. The control and animation is pretty much the same as last year. Offensive and defensive-wise, its harder to drive in this year. And shooting is bit tougher. Not very impressed by this year.

    This game is a great game if you're playing with friends. BUT, if you want to play ANY of the game modes, it is "pay to win." And what I mean by that is 9/10 people online have better stuff than you if you have not purchased VC (virtual currency) to improve your MyPlayer or MyTeam or any game mode for that matter.
