Better graphics,faster load times, no Microtransactions eating at my pockets, it needs a team mode for online like 2k but it beats them in every other way. They have a free demo in the playstation store for 2k users to try it out, I had live 18 and enjoyed it ,so i grabbed the demo, downloaded the companion app,took one photo, best luck ever from what I heard from other users, linked it, played for a while, everything transferred when I bought the physical copy, now I just grind and get my stats up! This is a must try for any 2k fan that's tired of them taking extra money just to make shots,unlocks players and buy clothes. With live 19, all you need to do is buy the game and have the time to grind and get your stats up, that's it that's all. Hope this helps anyone that's in the gray area on NBA games this year, oh and stay away from NBA playgrounds 2, it's a Microtransaction mess also made by 2k. Happy gaming guys and gals!
