    NBA 2K19 is the best port on the Nintendo Switch today, however the game has its faults. Prepare to get very frustated with the online requirements for most modes. It´s a shame that such a great game has to mostly rely on being connected to the internet all the time. MyPlayer requires a persistant internet connection or else you can lose your progress.

I lost count on how many times I finished a game and got kicked out of the mode while losing my progress (one time it happened at the end of game 7 of the finals and had to replay de game again).

    NBA 2K19 has a better career system than previous entries in the franchise with improved defense mechanisms and more intelligent gameplay. Beside some deja-vu feelings about the content, it delivers a great experience.

    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.
