'For those seeking that casual approach with some of the management built in, MyGM continues to be hit or miss depending entirely on your preferences for the mode.' Not all of these choices seem to actually change anything major in the long-term, but they never feel superfluous or meaningless to your character’s story. The story clocks in at an underwhelming 5-7 hours, but it boasts a nice collection of RPG-esque choices that help you craft a personalized journey. This story-driven campaign puts you in the shoes of a fairly stubborn but relatable main character looking to make it big. The best example of this forward momentum can be seen in this year’s vastly revised M圜areer mode. And by the looks of it, 2K Games isn’t resting on its laurels, choosing instead to continue pushing the franchise forward. Even with NBA Live 19 being a step up from its usual mundane offerings this year, NBA 2K19 (referred to as 2K19 going forward in this review) is nevertheless still the champion.

The NBA 2K series has long stood as the ultimate basketball video game experience with yearly iterations consistently improving and advancing the magic formula.
