A main reason why the NBA 2K series game is the best basketball game ever to come out is because of its gameplay and mechanics. Throughout the years NBA 2K's gameplay has continued to improve its overall gameplay to make it as smooth and realistic as possible.
When I initially began playing 2k19 (The second I received it in the mail) I thought the game was perfect. After playing four hours and hours on different game modes, I only noticed a few minor issues. The developers really listened to the fans and fixed many if not all of the major complaints with 2k18. Ball and player physics have been touched up. In 2k19, the size and strength of a player give them an appropriate edge against smaller, weaker defenders. The ability to intricately create your own player is a big step up from previous versions. (The ability to alter length of facial hair and create entire rosters while maintains your own attributes). The storyline form MyCAREER is much better than previous years, and you are now able to skip the cutscenes. If you are an avid fan of the NBA or basketball in general, I definitely reccomend purchasing the game. NBA 2k is as close as it gets to the perfect sports game.
