Jun 22, 2023Better than the NBA 2K18, but it's still a terrible game that's not worth your money and time.
-
Apr 10, 2023Definitely the one I’ve spent the least time with, played a few games, but didn’t get really into it ever.

Dec 2, 2020Garbage game. Makes you wish EA still made NBA games and that's the most insulting thing I can think of.
-
Sep 24, 2020This game sucks i hate i it is very bad very little improvements from nba2k18
-
Aug 12, 2020I dont like it. it had made me think that im too old for an NBA game until i play 2k20 i realize this game is just bad. i dont like the gameplay,

Aug 10, 2020Está cada vez pior gostar de basquete e de video game, parece que a 2K não se importa com seus fãs e faz um lixo desse.
-
Apr 29, 2020How this ratings of magazines are so high? This game is a cash cow, they actually destroyed this year. Do not buy!!!
-
Jan 27, 2020This thing is so scripted and so unfair when you play the top difficulty levels it's mind-blowing. Alize Johnson hits 3/3 3 pointers with a D-rating while my D'Angelo Russell misses 4 out of 4, open, with a A rating. That's enough for me to hope for the worst to come for all the programmers who did this garbage
-
Jan 23, 2020I do not found nothing new in this "new" arcade game. I hope we will see the same situation with 2k20,2k21 and 2k50585
-
Jan 22, 2020Servers are garbage as always. Ridiculous grind. Difficult scaling is insane, cpu become gods in superstar and hall of fame. Get comfortable with seeing the cpu nail contested and smothered shots while you and your team miss set open shots. Golden State warriors cheese and built in hacks

Jan 8, 2020I have always loved the idea of 2k and with all the constant flaws I still chose to never leave a bad review but after all of the same unrealistic and impractical gameplay remaining the same year after year I feel this is intentional and I personally will never buy another 2k game!

Dec 2, 2019Microtransactions!
complete with gambling mechanics, do not buy this joke of a series -
Sep 19, 2019A videogame that teaches little kids how to gamble. How to spend ridiculous amounts of money to get an in-game tattoo or dance emote... Well done 2K. If the game were excellent i would say it is almost tolerable. But it is the same as last years... And the year before that...
So the only thing I can say is WELL DONE 2K. -
Sep 12, 2019The one point here is for the fact that they haven't quite **** up enough yet to ruin the gameplay of the 2k series. However, this game isn't trying to improve as a game anymore. The only goal of this franchise is to improve the efficiency of its many micro-transactions.

Sep 10, 2019My casino was ruined by a basketball game. Do not buy this money grab, it's awful
-
Aug 29, 2019if you think nba 2k19 is awesome for the iPhone/iPad pc xbox one ps4 or switch well it is not! its awful don't you dare buy this **** and do not buy 2k20 they are they worst trash game ever made stay away from this piece of trash.
-
Aug 9, 2019The incompetence of 2k... loot boxes, microtransastions, and unskippable ads that make the game more like watching NBA than ever before
-
Jul 30, 2019This game is a piece of **** sh*t. Whoever thought of making this retarded a$$ piece of shi kys fu*k you 2k19
-
Jul 25, 2019In this game you can miss open lay ups and the commentators are annoying, and if you have a 97 open 3, you mostly are still not gonna make 3s.
-
Jul 9, 2019Don't buy, no seriously don't do it, not worth the money. If you do, buy it second hand there are plenty of copies because of how terrible a game it is. Attempting a slashing player is a complete waste of time and effort they dont dunk this year at all

Jun 25, 2019Do you like product placement and spending money and unskippable ads? Well here’s the game for you! It could be fine but the 2K devils are too money hungry for that
-
Jun 22, 2019it doesnt make fun while playing. the servers are **** and you have to pay real money to even have a chance to win
-
Jun 20, 2019Worst game I’ve ever played. I’ve just beat the rockets for the championship in my career an soon as it ended it kicked me out and had to start over. Worst game ever! Thank god I only paid 2.99 for it. It’s not worth the full price. Plus they could exceed the story and not make it so short. After you get drafted story ends which is garbage.
-
Jun 20, 2019cant make any opens shots or any shots at all in my career when i was making them before i got drafted
-
Jun 11, 2019game Is not new player friendly among bugs and micro transactions , the developers should feel ashamed of this game

Apr 25, 2019Shut all these critics up, this game was very unappealing. Too many microtransactions, and don't even start with the difficulty of this game, it doesn't even have any mercy, you get no tutorial, and the story is lazy. graphics aren't that good but it doesn't matter. this game was the worst game I ever bought on my ps4. Such a waste of money.
-
Apr 5, 2019worst sports game ever played, constantly getting shoved and pushed around as if there is no rules in basketball, i wouldn't even recommend this to a friend if it was on sale for a dollar, biggest waste of time ever created, and money.

Playstation Official Magazine UKOct 28, 2018NBA 2K19 is fantastic at all the times when it isn’t asking you to part with real cash. Although sadly, in MyCareer, you’ll be tempted to open your wallet way too often. [Issue#155, p.95]

Oct 12, 2018NBA 2K19 is still the go-to basketball simulation game out there. Its polish and refinement have only improved since last year, and it's difficult to imagine any improvements for next year. The MyCareer story has definitely improved, and so have the cut scene management and character customization. MyTeam feels like a revolving mode of new updates and content, but players who don't purchase VC may be getting the short end of the stick, since 10 pack boxes are exclusive to VC only. The game is amazing in all regards, but the constant reminder and pressure to purchase VC is wearing thin.

Oct 9, 2018NBA 2K19 is everything that you expect from a basketball game. With the new edition 2K Games and Visual Concepts are closer to the real thing than ever.
