Enjoyable, Yet Frustrating

I have played both of this year's major basketball games (this and NBA Live 19) and I enjoy both of them. 2K19 is definitely more simulation-based compared to Live. 2K Sports seems to update their game quicker than EA Sports does theirs (Rosters, Shoes, etc.). 2K's gameplay is fun, yet frustrating and sometimes unrealistic (depending on the difficulty you play on). It's not thrilling to see the CPU makes a jump shot with someone who has no business making that shot (contested or uncontested). Missing open layups also isn't great (I know that happens in real basketball sometimes, but still...). I do play the game on the Hall of Fame difficulty, so that's probably why. I can't talk about online because I play offline pretty much 100% of the time. I do recommend 2K if you need a video game b-ball fix.

My daughter requested this cover because she is not a Lebron fan. She loved getting the newest NBAK game each year and loves building her character.

NBA 2K19 is one of the best entries in the series. I'd venture to say it is the best 2K game on the current generation of consoles, due to its fluid gameplay and controls, high-quality presentation, and in-depth MyCareer mode.

It’s my first “2K” game. It’s hard but fun!hopefully I get better soon because I’m tired of the missed shots by me and steals by the computer...

I like the graphics , very nice "story" on my career. The defense is just too dumb but once you start leveling up it becomes easier.

Game improves on the defense greatly from NBA2k18. Freelance offenses are better. Defense can be a little too tough on HOF against the computer. You will get humbled. Great game and looks stunning in 4k.

This game is very fun to play. I have never played story mode on a video game before this but enjoyed and got in to working my way through the ranks to become finals MVP over my teammate LeBron.

I jumped back into this series after not playing it for 3 years. The gameplay is good with great visuals. The defense in this game is very inconsistent. When you tap the button it's either a foul or a steal. No in between.
The progression in this game is atrocious. I have played half a season and my overall is a 67 with a Max of 99. The progression is very slow unless you buy their in game currency. It's an ugly feature in an otherwise good game.

2k19 is every basketball game that comes out every year. Graphics are better & more story mode than last year.
