Our least-favourite part of last year’s installment was the aimless, unskippable story attached to MyCareer. Things have improved markedly on that front in NBA 2k19 as you step into the shoes of A.I., beginning with him waiting on draft night and never getting the call. From there you end up in China, progress to the G League and so on.
