To be 100% honest, 2K Sports didn't make this game as approachable when compared to previous years. You can pick up the game and play it casually, but that will only take you so far unless you play it on the lower difficulties and/or change the sliders. NBA 2K19 is definitely a challenge this year.

It's not that it is a challenge but it is too much and the AI defense is completely unfair. I have played a few games of play now online player control. Every player that gets matched up with an AI in that mode has a ridiculously poor shooting percentage in every game that I have played. I literally lit another human up for 65 points one game and the next game got matched up with an AI and went like 2 for 9 from the field. It's ridiculous, you can not beat them off the dribble without burning all your stamina and they are magnetized to you for the entire game. It is just very unfun to play against an AI and a huge disadvantage. As much as people complained about not being able to play defense last year I thought it was way more realistic then this year. Basketball is an offensive game now, and teams that play great D are not because they have a bunch of dudes that lock everyone down on the perimeter, it is because they have great schemes to force good offensive players into less advantageous situations and giving up the situations that are less of a threat.
