The One Thing to Do for NBA 2K 19

Not only is there a story in MyGM, there is still a bevy of MyPlayer options. Rather than invite Spike Lee to direct MyCareer (as he did back in NBA 2K16), NBA 2K19's approach settles down, focusing on the tumultuous rookie year of prior road baller DJ.
It's largely satirical toward locker room civilization, a reprieve in the thick play of Madden NFL 18's Longshot or even past years old NBA 2K. For instance, DJ's representative is not much of one, but he does possess a catchphrase: "Eat what you kill" The characters do not appear to comprehend what that means (and they say), but NBA 2K19 runs with it to the humor.
When playing DJ, you are going to encounter NBA 2K19's "The Neighborhood." Consider it a hub of activity for DJ's career. In a MMO-lite twist, it is possible to walk around with numerous (hundreds, possibly, if servers fill up) of other player-controlled DJs, playing pickup games, trading scores at minigames or socializing. The existence of other players is generally pointless outside of light rivalry, however; I ended up just ignoring the crowd.
I shortly realized The Neighborhood simply replaces NBA 2K19's core menu. In that way, it's merely a clumsy method to browse. Desire a haircut? Walk the cube to the barbershop. Wish to change clothing? Go home. Need new shoes? Jog down to Foot Locker. Looking to grab a fast pickup game? The court is down the road on your left.
Plodding as this navigation is, there's a bit of character and culture inside. In the barbershop, DJ is served like a local celebrity while they chat about general gossip. The friendly (if drowsy) attendant of a food cart brings in some laughs. These spaces are also well decorated, cramped and flush with older brick buildings circa 1930s New York. It's a powerful representation of the impoverished to lower-middle-class upbringing of NBA stars who got their start in places like Harlem's Rucker Park.
