NBA Live 19 takes direct aim at NBA 2K19’s grabby microtransactions

There’s a Washington Mystics t-shirt I’ve been eyeballing for my original player’s road outfit in NBA Live 19’s “The One” career mode. Yet so far when I’ve gone to the in-game store, she’s come out with shirts for last-place Indiana and Las Vegas instead.
Ordinarily, this would be where someone ruefully mentions that this item otherwise randomly unlocked can be bought directly for real money. In NBA Live 19, it can’t. That’s because there are no real-money microtransactions whatsoever in its centerpiece mode.
