    Micro-transactions and a very flat career mode kind of spoil what is the best basketball game this year.

    Basketball lovers will enjoy a title where realism is extreme. The improvement in the strategy will make us feel that each match is unique and its countless game modes will not allow us to get bored. However, its story is mediocre and it has very obvious script problems. In addition, the online connection, very poor, and microtransactions, almost essential, tarnish the quality of a great game.

Talked to their support, who acted like I was lying to try to scam them and made me take multiple pictures and videos of multiple games, then disconnected, while claiming their system was "infallible." Horrible service, horrible pay to win model, and I no longer will support 2k studios in any financial way.… Full Review »

Areas where they previously just had an overload of features, they have cut down for an increase in performance. In addition, the improvements made in gameplay, updates to rosters, rating etc. made this one worth the grab for a basketball fan such as myself. While I wouldn't normally rate it a 10, I've given it this score to offset all the trash user scores as usual...… Full Review »

Todo se logra con microtransacciones a pesar de que se paga como un triple A. En vez de vender el producto con todo incluido te obligan a pagar para no tener que jugar por horas, que a la larga se hacen semanas. Aun con la edición de aniversario lo que te venden no es la experiencia de juego, sino la emoción de comprar por partes todo el contenido. Incluso, uno de los productores del equipo de desarrollo dice que la gran mayoría de jugadores de videojuegos no tienen paciencia para jugar y por eso ponen las microtransacciones. Sin embargo, en Steam para PC el NBA 2k18 tiene una clasificación de mayormente negativos.

    In English
    In the video game of 2K19 the same thing is observed as in the one of last year. Everything is achieved with microtransactions despite being paid as a triple A. Instead of selling the product with all-inclusive you are forced to pay for not having to play for hours, which eventually become weeks. Even with the anniversary edition, what they sell to you is not the gaming experience, but the excitement of buying all the content in parts. Even one of the producers of the development team says that the vast majority of video game players have no patience to play and that is why they put microtransactions. However, in Steam for PC the NBA 2k18 has a rating of mostly negative.    … Full Review »
