It’s not so bad if you want to play at the 1 or 2, the smallest players on the court and the ones that shoot the most three pointers, have the most ball handling duties, and so on. The mobile experience is limited in just enough ways that made me want the fuller experience. I’d been playing NBA on the phone, which is a fun enough casual experience. So after shelling out for what is the most I’ve paid for the normal edition of a video game since buying CDs from Harvey Norman in the ’90s, I put the Switch to sleep and waited the weekend for all the requisite data to download. I was going to pick up NBA 2K18 instead, until I saw that it was the same price as NBA 2K19.

Unless you’re trying to play NBA 2K19, in which case that process becomes extraordinarily difficult.īecause I have an unfortunate disposition where I actually enjoy a) sports games and b) grinding out the singleplayer modes within, I bit the bullet recently and shelled out for the full version of NBA 2K19 on the Switch. And for the most part, it does this very well.
