I never give any video game 5 stars. There is no truly perfect game out there...especially with sports games. Technically, I'd give this a 4.5 star rating. The half star deduction is the requirement for Playstation Plus to play part of the game. I also hate in-game purchases. If I'm going to spend a chunk of money on the game, it should open the entire game up to me. but the MyCareer mode is really cool. I like working my way up the ranks, dealing with what the pros deal with like social media screw-ups, sponsors, agents, dealing with the press, etc.. Nice touch.A few negatives though. I wasn't able to get the PS4 camera to map my own face (total failure on 2K's part). When you pick your player's speaking voice, there are only two options...and neither sound ... MoreI never give any video game 5 stars.

So on-screen, when my character speaks, it is awkward to say the least. Loading times a also quite long, and the 2K TV feature is something I'd really like to turn off (weekly/monthly video segments of little value).I haven't tried franchise mode yet, and I have only played the MyLeague option a little. There's quite a bit to do. If only they could get away from the in-game purchase model and just make me earn my strips as in the old days, that would make me happy (or at least turn off the option to view them).

I was pretty disappointed. My expectations may have been too high, I guess. I had the first installment of the game "NBA2K" a million years ago for the Dreamcast (back when you could buy NFL games other than the same Madden that has been released annually since 2009). I haven't owned an NBA 2K game in probably 5-ish years. Somehow, the thought of 2K19 taking me back to that first 2K purchase gave me some warm and fuzzies. Then I played it.First the good: there are a lot of game modes. It takes a lot of time to explore them all. The appearance of the game is pretty nice. Everything "flows" nicely, not a lot of "glitchy" lookin stuff goin on. The graphics are pretty realistic.The bad: the "cut scenes" in the story modes are kind of ridiculous.

I felt like I was watching a several hours long movie with a 30 second break every now and again to play a basketball video game. On top of that... they're not very entertaining. They sound like they were written by 3rd graders, and portrayed by community theater actors. I gave them a shot, but ended up just skipping almost all of them after the first couple of hours of playing. I figured the GM/Franchise mode was just more up my alley. So I tried it. Navigating the menus has a clumsy feel. Not to mention it takes a bit of time to figure out what the features do. With all the tutorials in these games... you would think a brief explanation of menu items wouldn't be too much to ask. Finally... gameplay... you know... the reason we supposedly buy these things.Where to begin? I couldn't find a camera angle that I liked. I mean... seriously... it was like watching a movie with a massive production budget, but they hired some drunk off the corner to operate the camera. The in-game controls are nothing less than frustrating. And AI catch-up logic is oddly cheesy. Like NES era cheesy. If the defense isn't smothering you with their hands in your pockets, fear not- your teammates will just start standing in your way. They will run away from picks, ignore your call for the ball while open, and then randomly pass to you when you're triple covered... and blame you for the turnover, or just literally stand between you and the basket when you drive, like a defender should, lol. It's actually kind of funny. But next time I want to laugh, I'll buy a stand-up comedy blu-ray instead of a 2K video game. They're less expensive.Somehow there are a lot of 5-star reviews... so maybe I'm just gettin old.

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 ... MoreSo I really like the 2k basketball series, it plays well, has an excellent online community and offers a variety of game play.

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.

The game itself is magnificent. The NBA 2k series has long been the best basketball game for anyone looking for simulation type of play. Everything seems to be perfected with each version and 2k19 is no different: extensive, detailed, perfected.As with previous versions, though, there is still one thing I am experiencing, which was happening at least since 2k16, which was my return to the series after a few years of not having time to play games: connectivity issues. Almost every day I have the same problem with connecting to 2k servers (which are online according to their website), which doesn't allow me to fully leverage the great gameplay this product has to offer. I've no idea why is it like that. I had the same thing in Europe, I have the same thing here in ... MoreThe game itself is magnificent.

If you want a basketball game, there's nowhere else to go. NBA Live doesn't even scratch the surface compared to this one.
This game is grotesque. I love basketball and have played previous 2k games. I was excited to play this game because I loved MyCareer mode last year, even though it had the some of the same faults as this year's game. As it turns out, this is a pay to win game. As soon as you start it up you are bombarded with advertisements to pay real world currency to obtain VC, or Virtual Currency. You then use VC to upgrade your player. If you don't want to pay VC, be prepared to spend hours upon hours to earn VC by losing every game you play because your player is trash. Last year you could at least have a little fun playing against the NPC teams while you upgraded your player. But this year it is near impossible to do anything other than get hedged by defenders, turn the ball ... MoreThis game is grotesque. I love basketball and have played previous 2k games.

I've never been so disappointed and frustrated with a game. I tried to return the game to Best Buy, but since I opened the package to try the game, I guess I can't return it. Terrible experience with both the game and with Best Buy.
Maybe I’m just getting too old for this game but I have issues, sold it today; too frustrated. It’s the same game as last year with new rosters. Play Now mode online is the most authentic mode, but I get a little tired of using players that I think aren’t properly rated. More on that later. However play now mode is for the sim players the old school guys that appreciate authenticity. Now to the rest of it. Do you care about career mode? There’s a few versions of that honestly I don’t think anyone cares about this mode and 2K seems to put all their energy into this mode which I don’t get because all we do is burn thru the story to upgrade our player. I never even played on the park and I could have had big fun there be players already had 90 overall players on ... MoreMaybe I’m just getting too old for this game but I have issues, sold it today; too frustrated.

I never even played on the park and I could have had big fun there be players already had 90 overall players on release day that’s rediculous. Why didn’t I try Park because I couldn’t find it I think you have to unlock it after prelude and prelude was punishment goingbthru like I said I don’t care to play the cpu just multiplayer. So I played a little single player challenged with my team that’s what I played for three weeks before I just sold it. Here why I did...I am good at the game but I’m facing guys that have stacked rosters cuz they bought the $100 LeBron edition. So eventhough I’m good at the game I’d get beat cuz I was facing monster teams. I was running with DMitchell, KD, Gobert, all 84/85 but they are only sapphires these guys already have Ruby’s and Amytyst and some have Diamonds. Cuz they bought them off VC or earned them thru single player, but I’m so stubborn I didn’t want to play cpu all day i want to crush souls online lol. So I mainly played triple Threat Online which is basically a really bad form of gauntlet; why not bring back Gainlett 2K this stinks. Anyway you play a game and unlock palinka balls to drop down for measly prizes you rarely get anything good. Honestly I must have paid 200 games of Triple Threat and the best rewards I ever got were 2 diamond shoes, 1 unlimited contract and I unlocked a bunch of badges that’s it you have to get all 5 balls to get the better stuff never got there cuz the opponent was too stacked. So you guys are thinking Ibstink right i promise I don’t here’s the problem I’m a great defender, but all they do is pass when i lock up, and besides the horrible fouling in this game where only 10% fouls get called they have automatic D on AI this year so crappy defensive players like Steph & Harden that can’t guard a chair will lock you up as will every player in the game it’s so hard to score now because the cpu locks you up it’s really unplayable. Plus you can steal better than ever whenever transitioning, it’s silly. You also go out of bounds when you get next to the sideline or baseline my guess is there they don’t want you to cheese baseline so if you drive 25% chance your going out of bounds if someone is guarding you. So again it’s veey hard to score even if you have good players. LeBron is one of the few that can still force it baseline and make it but it’s a pain. This is more about setting picks and passing Ciz it’s juat that hard to get open it’s not much fun honestly. And I get mad too because the ratings are so poor and they been poured for a while they need to revamp the entire ratings for everybody in my opinion could you get players that aren’t three point shooters there knocked out sugars in the game because the rains are so goofy like rip it rip Hamilton for example is a 90 shooter from three he didn’t even shoot threes and a player like Baron and I get mad too because the ratings are so poor and they been poured for a while they need to revamp the entire ratings for everybody in my opinion could you get players that aren’t three point shooters there knock down sugars in the game because the rains are so goofy like rip it rip Hamilton for example is a 90 shooter from three he didn’t even shoot threes. Eddie Jones is 90 plus from three rarely misses he’s like a 95 overall KD why? Michael Finley card is 94 with a defensive stopper? He couldn’t play defense and why is he better than Michael Jordan? 94 is silly. They got Finley from going 12-0 in My Team but the only reason they did that is because they bought there success it’s about opening packs once again I’m tired of paying for players guys. I just remembered I paid $20 additionally for vc and my team still stunk. So if you like throwing down a bunch of cash for vc for your park player and my team go for it the new cpu AI will still drive you crazy but if you are tired of this same stuff and this new cpu AI lock up defense wait another year although I know it’s hard to pass but wish I would have on hindsight
-This game is pure and simply a cash grab - Everything has a price and an absurd one at that, with you not making much per game. You're telling me that if I was in the NBA I would struggle to buy a shirt or scooter for my player?-I feel as if playing online is very clunky and that the game doesn't have a natural flow when playing in the park or in the rec center.-The story in Mycareer starts off strong and is quite fun but by the end of the All Star game it all but dies....-They do a good job of having weekly Park modes but that is lost on me as the gameplay is clunky.-The new neighborhood is nice and I like the way it is set up with all the shops surrounding the courts. It seems to have a nice feel to it and i do enjoy spinning the big wheel.In conclusion ... More-This game is pure and simply a cash grab - Everything has a price and an absurd one at that, with you not making much per game.

If you were looking to get this for the MyGM mode then you will definitely want to pick this up! If I picked this up only looking to play that this would be an easy 5 stars! There is so much depth in the MyGm Mode, where you really feel like you are running the team and building a dynasty with every move. I would have scored this game a 2 or 1 if it wasn't for the MyGM mode, which I found myself playing much more then the more popular MyCareer mode. It all depends on what you are looking to do when you get this game.MyCareer - 2 StarsMyGM - 5 Stars
I want to say this game is great, but it really suffers from the inside outside imbalance and sometimes the forced realism just isn’t practical. Regarding the first, a pure sharpshooter consistently hitting contested threes should not be happening at a significantly higher rate than lightly contested layups from an athletic finisher. The fact that this can happen with all the proper hall of fame badges is incomprehensible. I can make more contested layups more frequently in real life compared to this game. I’ve noticed PFs and centers just randomly dropping the ball while dribbling or even just standing still, and if the ball gets knocked out of your hands, forget about all functionality. Your character throws his hands in the air and becomes paralyzed for a few ... MoreI want to say this game is great, but it really suffers from the inside outside imbalance and sometimes the forced realism just isn’t practical.

Your character throws his hands in the air and becomes paralyzed for a few seconds. If you attempt to steal by pressing the x button, your character will either not respond or he will do everything in his power to wrap his arms around the other player in an attempt to foul them, or miss and become incapable of movement for a couple seconds after running several feet past any logical reasoning any defender would ever actually do. Want to rebound a missed shot? Just press the Y button and hope that your character decides to acknowledge the request. It happens sporadically, as it does with blocking, or may occur several seconds after the fact, followed by stumbling to the ground and a general incapacitation. This is a small list of the problems.If you take the bad aside, the graphics are decent, and the general feel of the game would be fantastic if not for the glaring holes. I’m hopeful that next year has more implementation of proper mechanics or this will probably be the last year I invest any time or money on the franchise.
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.
I miss the older games, I remember NBA2K since its beginning being a fun to play 5 star game, nowdays that fun gameplay it's gone, if you haven't play the old school 2K you have no idea what you are missing. The game is graphically ok, I think MLB the show and fifa soccer looks better, NBA2K used to be the best sport looking game, now it's more like a free to play quality game, I could digest more of its flaws, but why my screen is shaking when I have a free shot? that's annoying. I like NBA and having the all star team players by each team is cool, but why when I take the Bulls Michael Jordan team to play a match it's switched on the fly to other players ? if I want to play a match with Michael Jordan and unless I make the changes myself why the game itself is ... MoreI miss the older games, I remember NBA2K since its beginning being a fun to play 5 star game, nowdays that fun gameplay it's gone, if you haven't play the old school 2K you have no idea what you are missing.

So that stuff really took me off, I can't recommend play the game with those flaws that doesn't let you enjoy in the way that you want, for those who have enjoy the recent version of this game may have no complains, but if you remember the old school version you probably will dislike this one. I haven't dig in the online modes, that's where this game suppose to shine, but since the gameplay isn't fun to me, I won't bother in compete against people, it may be nice to play with someone at home and check on the roster. NBA 2K19 as a sport video game is not that bad but it's not that great, I would consider look around.
