Even at full price NBA 2K19 is an easy recommendation for sports fans. NBA 2K19 enjoys deeper discounts and sale prices than most sports games, however, often at prices of $20 or less depending on how long you’re willing to wait. Like all major sports game franchises, NBA 2K19 always launches with a full $60 price tag, and like most games, that price will drop and get discounted throughout the year.

Other artists include Alison Wonderland, Migos, Bruno Mars, Brockhampton, and Angel the God. The soundtrack is also solid, featuring over 50 hip-hop and rock-pop tracks mixed and curated by rapper Travis Scott (who also provides five of the tracks). NBA 2K19 features some of the best commentaries for any sports game, with insightful breakdowns, fun player anecdotes, and up tempo play-by-plays. It’s fun to unlock star players but when it comes to microtransactions and the prevalent cost of using VC and cards, 2K ranks among the worst of mobile game offenders-and this for a $60 console game. Packs can be earned by winning games, while Virtual Currency, 2K’s much maligned money system, can be earned through completing challenges. How much you enjoy this mode relies heavily on how feel about getting everything you need through random card packs. The MyTeam mode is all about earning (or purchasing) random booster packs filled with players, jerseys, coaches, arenas, and contracts. Skip the MyGM story mode however, the stilted, horribly verbose text dialogue and numerous awkward talky cutscenes are a laughably pathetic attempt to create a career mode with zero substance. At any point, you can instantly jump in and play the game yourself.

SimCast provides the perfect balance between managing and playing the game, letting you call out strategies and make substitutions, as well as speeding up the game up to 6x. We enjoyed the new mentor system, where older veterans could pass on desirable traits to budding young stars. MyLeague is perfect for number junkies who enjoy working trades and negotiating contracts.

Each mode features an opportunity to customize your own player, play a fantasy team of past and current stars, or become the play caller and general manager. The primary game modes of NBA 2K19 are MyPlayer, MyTeam, and MyLeague. Numbers range from one-on-one to five-on-five and everything in between. NBA 2k19 features the usual quick play modes where you can take your favorite team on a full season-long journey, or simply grab a few players for some casual blacktop basketball.
