The caliber of graphics and performance presented by NBA 2K19 on Switch is incredible. Despite these concerns, Visual Concepts and 2K Sports have crafted an incredibly solid basketball experience that demonstrates why the NBA 2K series is celebrating its 20 year anniversary.

As a newcomer, NBA 2K19 has been an exciting and entertaining experience but my enjoyment of the game has been brought down by the title’s lack of accessibility for new players, and it’s horribly pervasive microtransaction system. This game is packed with so much basketball content from up-to-date player stats to polished play modes to a limitless amount of customization of your MyPLAYER that fans of the series have come to expect with every entry in the franchise. With that being said, I felt it was important to state early on what my relationship with NBA 2K19 has been so that my thoughts and opinions about the title are better understood.Īfter more than 40 hours with NBA 2K19, I can honestly say I finally understand why people like my brother religiously purchase the newest annualized title in the NBA 2K series every year. If you’re looking for a review that would include those perspectives, they’re not here. This also means I won’t be able to compare NBA 2K19 with its predecessors because I don’t have any personal experiences with those games to relate it to. As a result, this means I am reviewing the game from the perspective of a newcomer with limited experience in both basketball and basketball simulators.

Almost everything about the game has been a mix of thrilling, frustrating, and overwhelming experiences that were all brand new to me. I’ve been playing NBA 2K19 as an absolute amateur.
