AI thinks this is his shot to impress American scouts and the game even hands you a scripted moment where you dunk over a former college teammate, which soon becomes a viral video clip. After a few games with the Shanghai Bears, NBA 2K19’s M圜areer pits you against the NBA All-Stars as part of their global tour. That's a dangerous attitude for a rookie to have and the game’s opening hours make it all too clear. The protagonist longs to return to the NBA as soon as possible, feels short changed for the effort he puts in, and thinks he deserves better. We loved it so much that we wish EA Sports would pick up on that aspect for FIFA’s next foray with The Journey, given the game and sport's worldwide popularity, and that it’s finishing its story this year.Īdditionally, the writers of NBA 2K19 not only acknowledge the character’s flaws - instead of ignoring them as NBA 2K18 did - but they also use that to craft a sensible narrative. It really makes you feel out of place, which is most likely what 2K was going for. While you’ve a translator for the former, you just have to live with the latter.
It’s a novel idea, one that’s unexpected, jarring, and even disorienting, what with the coach’s instructions and commentary all being in Mandarin. You play as a college star - nicknamed AI - who fails to be picked in an NBA Draft and then ends up in China playing for the fictional Shanghai Bears team. Thankfully, NBA 2K19 does a little more than that.įor one, the new M圜areer in NBA 2K19 has a much better story. NBA 2K set the bar so low that anything it would do next year would surpass that. It was disastrous to say the least and set a new nadir for the franchise, just two years after the heavily-restrictive storytelling of Spike Lee. This was compounded by 2K’s decision to turn player development into a money-making scheme, putting micro-transactions everywhere in a game you already paid a fair amount of money to purchase. Last year, the NBA 2K team put out one of its worst efforts with story-based mode M圜areer, thanks to a terrible story of a former basketball hotshot returning to the sport after a short-lived career as a DJ.
