Yea fuck EA lol
If you don't want an ad can't you just turn off the internet? Or play it on the train or plane or automobile if you've got a switch. Modern problems require modern solutions.
NBA 2K is 2K, not EA.
Edit:
Seems it was already there months ago though:
NBA 2K has done this for years, this was the first or second year where they stated skippable scenes were gonna be the norm, guess not. But what do you expect? The company is money hungry, one of the main modes in the game is basically a lootbox mode where you gotta use digital currency that takes forever to get (or buy it, which most youtubers endorse) and buy a bunch of packs with low ass odds to get a super limited card for a game that people will jump ship for in a year.
Nba 2k is probably the most cynical gaming product on the market. You have to go to the Gatorade product placement center to do activities every few games in the career mode!
Everyone involved in this product should really eat shit.

Even at 3.99 I didn't get it given I play mostly my player and that's a micro transaction mess...

Well it needs attention because ads in a full priced game is absolute dog shit.
Yeah NBA2K and sports video games in general have been pretty fucking gross with monetization in the past few years and it just seems to get worse each year.
Yup.
You're paying $3.99 to play the game, but to actually enjoy MyCareer, you'd end up somehow someway convincing yourself that buying the virtual currency to make your player better, here and there, isn't much. Then next thing you know, you're trying to max out your player by buying the currency to have a good time considering they fucking lowball the fuck out of the MyPlayers in the beginning with a 55-60 overall. You can't do shit with the player in the beginning.
I blame the 2K Youtubers for making it the norm.
Still ain't worth it
Yeah, it's fucking sad. I jumped ship from this game like 5 years ago, and it's only gotten worse.
They have the closest to a mobile audience you can get in the console market (with music based games a close second).
Gotta milk them dry is the thought process sadly.
Well, I know why I didn't even payed 3 bucks for it and still refused to support it.
Shame on everyone who did.

What happens when the competition goes away, they get greedy with them being the only avenue. The only one that isn't this shitty is The Show.
I'd be curious to hear if the game requires an online connection to be played now (or at least for progression, and not just some quick match option). I can't make any promises, but something tells me it might.
This is one of those things where it's up to the player base. You buy next year's game then what can I tell you?
Yeah, NBA 2K has gone from being one of my favorite games with NBA 2K15 to "I will never buy this shit again" with 2K19 (got it as a bundle with Xbox Pro).
Fuck that. I used to love MyPlayer and yet here we are, got to spend minimum $50 on one build now in mtx, high MTX for everything, and now ads.
Live 19 is actually a decent game, getting better and fun to play without any paid MTX on SP to develop the player char (don't think you can buy even cosmetics for that single player).
It really is a complete insanity what they have done with the game series. The base basketball engine is actually really good, they have a decent story every year (well, not a great one but B movie quality) and overall without MTX and enforced terrible performance at lower levels (to force you to buy said MTX), the game would have been great. Yet here we are...
