#Nba 2k19 mobile review upgrade#
This year? It looks like 2K has decreased the dependency on buying VCs in order to upgrade your player. They offered no Haircut previews as well, meaning you’ll have to buy the haircut first in order to check if it fits your look. This would mean players that would like to grind for virtual currencies are already at a disadvantage.Įven changing your hairstyle last year was charged with VC. In order to have a good to great player, you’ll need to purchase VCs (2K’s Virtual Currency) to upgrade your player. This has been a main request by the 2K community for years but I believe it was mostly due to Bee’s annoying antics from NBA 2K18. You can also skip cutscenes in M圜areer mode. Past characters like Jackson Ellis, which was introduced back in NBA 2K14 as the character’s main antagonist, and ATM from NBA 2K18 is a good addition, if I may say so myself. I also love the way 2K incorporates its former characters from past NBA games to the story. I would like to include the Warriors in my example but their starting 5 is basically an all-star team already. Imagine being a point guard only to be drafted by teams with star point guards like the Rockets in CP3 or the Thunder with Westbrook. It also allows the player to have the decision on which NBA team to choose.
The game allows you to go from being undrafted, playing in China, Playing in the G-League and eventually hitting it in the big stage of the NBA. The story of NBA 2K19 is miles ahead of the former 2K game. Players would have to carefully think about when to active the mode as timeouts, bad plays and substitutions can stop the effects of the mode. When activated, the user play will get a get a very noticeable boost. This year, you can time your shots accordingly thanks to the new Shot Meter.Īlong with those notable changes, the “Takeover” mode introduced in M圜areer mode is also a great addition to the game. Last year’s game would trigger an animation that will immediately tell us that the shot is off. Player layups can now be made even though there’s contact between the defender and the offensive player. In order to get a rebound, players would have to box out and time their jumps properly instead of just spamming the triangle button continuously. Rebounding the ball seems to be improved as well. This is a welcome change to the game as it challenges the players to be creative with their approach in scoring. You’ll have to break down your opponent and attack at the most opportune time. Think of LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo driving through the lane.īut everything’s different now because in NBA 2K19, driving to the rim is now harder than ever. Forcing your controlled player to drive to the line is easy, especially if your player is fast and strong. In our previous NBA 2K18 review, you can easily drive to the basket. 2K19’s dribbling and gameplay mechanics feel different compared to its predecessor.
My first time playing NBA 2K19 was a fun but stressful experience. In this NBA 2K19 review, I’ll go through the new features and improvements that make this game shine and also those annoying quirks that affect the overall gaming experience. 2K Sports has recently released its Standard and 20th Anniversary Edition for NBA 2K19 on the 11th of September and I’m back for another review. It’s that time of the year again NBA 2K fans.
