Welcome shooting and defensive refinements, Takeover system adds a touch of NBA Jam fun, MyCareer The Prelude is surprisingly absorbing, Nicely revamped MyGM/MyLeague menus, Ridiculous amount of content
PostPrelude MyCareer is a grind, My Neighborhood hub is still a snooze, The game's constant money grubbing is a drag, MyGM writing is remarkably bad this year

For many, basketball is more than just a game, and NBA 2K19 doesn't take that lightly. It throws every resource it has into the theatrics of the sport, creating charismatic presentation, a well-written story mode, and strong core gameplay. The series' per...
MyGM's story is dreadful, Cutscenes are cumbersome, Microtransactions remain
