I f you put NBA 2K19 right next to NBA 2K18 I can't say with any conviction that I'd be able to tell the two games apart. They'd both look amazing. Putting hands-on either game, I don't think I could instantly tell the gameplay differences between the two, nor would I be able to dig into the menus...

Oh no, not this again. Nope. As we've done the last few years, this is only a review of 2K19's MyCareer mode, not the entire game. I think its scope, coupled with the focus 2K places on it in terms of creating and selling their game, make it interesting enough to warrant this focus.

"The gameplay is on point but I have to give it a negative review. The microtransactions system is as bad as it was last year if not worse because you no longer get sponsor money for playing playground, the most poular mode."
