Bill Simmons will love talking about Irving this yearĪnd we can’t forget Doris Burke, Brent Barry, Greg Anthony, and Kevin Harlan, who are as great as always as they do a amazing job of making sure there isn’t too much dead air in the action. Sorry Bill, there’s only so much homerism I can take in a video game. That is unless he’s commentating a Celtics game, then I might have to put it on mute. However adding Bill Simmons as a guest commentator was a huge get, especially for sports podcast listeners like myself. Having Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett return to the team doesn’t move the needle too much for me. Whether it’s from even more pregame intros and player warm-ups when you start a game, the constant stat overlays that pop up throughout the game that satisfy stat nerds like myself, or the amazing commentators in the game, NBA 2K19 just brings it. With NBA 2K19, that bar continues to rise. Presentationįor a while, NBA 2K has been the series to emulate as far as presentation goes in a sports title as no other game quite gives you the feeling that you’re watching a real life sports broadcast as opposed to a video game.

With the release of NBA 2K19 many are wondering if 2K Sports is able to once again top the standard they set for themselves, or if the competition is starting to catch up. And despite being at the top for so long, they’ve done a great job of not becoming complacent and continuing to push the bar higher and higher. Every year, the NBA 2K series delivers a top-level basketball product to gamers.
