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.
