NBA 2K19
SCORE: 74
NBA 2K19 is the poster child for what is
currently wrong with the entire video game industry. The PR and
Marketing people for this game failed us. The ESRB failed us. The game
itself is way too online heavy. There are a few good things to talk
about. All of those statements are true. NBA 2K19 is contributing to the
decline of the video game industry as a whole.
The modes in NBA 2K19 are Play Now, 2KU, Black Top, My Career, My
League, My GM, My League Online, Start Today, Season, Playoffs, and
Connect. We can play current, classic, or all time teams. The
installation took forever, and then there was a long update. After that
I sat through a long loading screen. NBA 2K19 is a huge video game in
terms of gigs.
NBA 2K19 looks good, and the announcers are great. The offensive music
can be turned off one song at a time. I did not find a way to remove the
enticement to lust or sexual content with the cheerleaders. By the way
how did the ESRB miss all of this bad content? Are they just bought off
like too much of the gaming media?
The presentation of NBA 2K19 feels realistic. Although those announcers
do not look so good in my opinion. NBA 2K19 is a challenging game thanks
to the momentum meter. It baffles me how some easy shots are missed over
and over again. I don’t expect everything to sink. I do expect to shoot
a bit higher than 50% from right in front of the hoop.
I value NBA 2K19 at ten dollars brand new. If you wait a few months this
game will plummet in terms of price. It always does. NBA 2K19 is a great
example of video game release prices being over inflated. I wish NBA
2K19 would be safer for families. I would also like to see better normal
offline modes.
