    Worst servers out of any game I’ve ever played, always something wrong. When I’m about to get a good card in my team, the server crashes or says there’s a problem. When I finally get a card I can’t use it because it’s stuck in auction outcomes because a problem has occurred. Ex: I was about to have a GO CJ McCollum and right when the ball dropped into its slot it crashed. After tried itWorst servers out of any game I’ve ever played, always something wrong.

When I finally get a card I can’t use it because it’s stuck in auction outcomes because a problem has occurred. Ex: I was about to have a GO CJ McCollum and right when the ball dropped into its slot it crashed. After tried it again it says it’s already been used. I thought it was just mine but it’s everybody’s. Stop letting the money get to y’alls head and fix the game. Worst customer service as well they never help, they just say it’s been fixed and it hasn’t been. Or they’ll give you an error code on the game and when you type it in it doesn’t exist. Get y’alls s*** together it’s not fun anymore. Only reason I still play this game is because friends play it. Keep it up you’ll end up losing you community, and then you’ll try to wonder what happened. When the problem is right in front of your face.… Expand

    In 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.

    The incompetence of 2k... loot boxes, microtransastions, and unskippable ads that make the game more like watching NBA than ever before

    I 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!

    Está 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.

    Servers 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

    I do not found nothing new in this "new" arcade game. I hope we will see the same situation with 2k20,2k21 and 2k50585

    This 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

    Garbage game. Makes you wish EA still made NBA games and that's the most insulting thing I can think of.

    Definitely the one I’ve spent the least time with, played a few games, but didn’t get really into it ever.

    Better than the NBA 2K18, but it's still a terrible game that's not worth your money and time.

    NBA 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]

    NBA 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.

    NBA 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.
