OUT NOW NBA 2K19

Bill Simmons has been added to NBA 2K19 as a guest commentator

Last year, 2K Sports’ NBA 2K18 title decided to add some “guest commentators” who’d pop into the announcing booth with Kevin Harlan for specific games, going with Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant. Those two famed former NBA players are back for NBA 2K19, but the franchise has also added…Bill Simmons?

Simmons, who’s currently CEO of The Ringer and on a HBO deal focused on “creating and producing sports-themed content,” is now taking his talents to video game land as well, as shown in this new trailer

The trailer includes Harlan calling Simmons a “sportswriting heavyweight,” Simmons saying “I was there for every step of the video game revolution,” Simmons talking about voting Ben Simmons third or maybe second-team All-NBA, Simmons saying LeBron is “indestructible” and would put his leg back on if it rolled off, and more. It also involves him praising a Celtics’ player, Jayson Tatum, saying “Tatum is so much better than I think anyone expected; this guy is a future MVP candidate.” Sadly, there is not a “No one denies this!”

The idea of breaking video game broadcasts up with some special guests from time to time has some merit, and including Simmons will certainly appeal to some. And this franchise has brought in some NBA-adjacent personalities before, including LaVar Ball (for messages in Career Mode) last year, so this definitely isn’t unprecedented. But not everyone is a fan of Simmons, as the reception for his work on NBA Countdown and Any Given Wednesday illustrates. We’ll see what the overall reaction to Simmons in this game is.

Holy shit they went all teen drama w/ the story

kinda meh.....but I cant say Shammy and B Fresh were favorites
 
Game looks better than last year imo. Defense is definitely better than past years, you actually have to run plays to score sometimes. Straight iso and pick and roll won't do it anymore.

At least until i get used to this shit..
 
Heard them servers was ass 1st night..imagine the 10th when the rest get online.

2k should plan better
 
A lot of people are complaining that the defense is a little too good on this game

I haven’t played online yet but just from my games against the cpu, I can see why.

It’s damn near impossible to get an open shot even layups are always contested
