Jan 12, 2019Hands down the worst basketball game unless you're a child who likes shooting ridiculous 3 pointers and making every one of them even if great defense is played on you. If that profile fits you then its the game you've been looking for. If you're a mature basketball gamer who likes realism in your sports game then this is THE ABSOLUTE WORST NBA GAME EVER CREATED!!!

Dec 16, 2018I used to love play now online. I had my favorite 2 or 3 all time teams that I used all the time. Now I'm forced to play with the worst teams in the game if I want to rank up. It's just not fun missing wide open layups and dunks. I'm made to play with tier 3 garbage teams, and with players I've never heard of.

Dec 24, 2018Broke a** m*game. I keep trying though. Ball hit CPU leg turnover on me. Kickball right? U should let EA sports have your my player idea because I can assure you the gameplay on live will be 20 times better than this..hands down.

Mar 10, 2019WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS!!You pay $60 a YEAR FOR A ROSTER UPDATE, oh and did it mention MICROTRANSACTSHONS a lot of those and the gameplay feels like your on. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on 2k20 it lets them do nothing and get MONEY!

Feb 26, 2019This game is a lot of fun when it's not glitching, or throwing error codes. Literally the second the clock ran down to win the finals, the game threw a code, and kicked me out to the main menu. I now have to play the game yet again. Extremely aggravating.

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. -

Apr 2, 2019This is a fun experience if you are athlete but is very annoying with lack of feed back and care from developers.

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.

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.

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 20, 2019cant make any opens shots or any shots at all in my career when i was making them before i got drafted

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 22, 2019it doesnt make fun while playing. the servers are **** and you have to pay real money to even have a chance to win

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.

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 9, 2019The incompetence of 2k... loot boxes, microtransastions, and unskippable ads that make the game more like watching NBA than ever before

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.
