NBA 2K19

Pros

• Officially licensed players & teams
• Players can skip all cutscenes
• AI opponents are stronger than ever

Cons

• Missing some legendary old time players
• No rookie difficulty mode when playing a full career

NBA 2k19 is a premier sports game that includes oficially sanctioned teams and players from the National Basketball Association. You'll be able to play through the actual 2019 season with genuine rosters simply by selecting one menu option.

Serious gamers will probably prefer to put together their own team by making trades and other kinds of transactions, which will enable them to field a set of top starters. Others may prefer to follow a single player's career or check out some of the minigames in NBA 2k19's virtual neighborhood.

A number of small refinements are sure to be noticed by long time fans of the series. It's now much easier to set up screens and steal the ball away from an offensive opponent. The game rewards you for staying in front of anyone who has the ball, and you'll even be able to build up a dominant organization without having to rely too heavily on microtransactions. That makes it much easier to manage your talent pool.

You're free to create players and give them whatever kind of cosmetic appearance you prefer. If you want to field a team of clones who all have extremely high stats, then you're free to do so. You'll find it's much more fun to create a balanced and diverse line-up that includes individual players who are stars at their own respective positions, however. Depending on the specific type of team you field, you might even want to take your squad to the international stage and compete against players in China.
