Okay we are hear to thank the folks at Take-two and espn for just a great product.You have arcade games and then you have simulation games.This game is the most realistic basketball game out there and i have played them all.The presentation cant be better for those who watch espn.I have been a 2k fan since nba2k and i have picked up all titles to date.The gameplay is greatly delivered the post up system is the best for those who like to back em down into the paint, also it delivers great for those who love one on one plays.So everybody can have fun , the screens the picks and the player movement is so real you can actually feel like your on the court.For those who are interested in Street ball the have it and all the courts you can think of. The Association is like no other franchise out there trust me, 2on2 to 3on3 to 1on1 and 5on5 is there for you if your not into the franchise thing.Its not a difficult game to play but it is different from the later editions.The defense can shut you down in a minute if your getting too hot and will punish you if your not careful how you put up your shot hence (BIG BEN WALLACE DONT PLAY). The dunks are realistic enough and create mode allows you to create everything down to the shoe, when you create your player you have the will to do alsmost anything you want from putting him into the league to all sorts of fun stuff.Trust me its gives you the best iso-motion out there the handles are sick the post up is sick and the ability to change your shot works great. The passing is just realistic as you see it on tv, now the game isnt perfect and sometimes trying to steal your opponents ball isnt easy if you havent practice enough but the game gives you great tutorial on how to play and you willl be picking off players and setting charges in no time. The game is the best basketball to date and have NBA live 2005 also its not as good plus 24 seven mode just adds it all up that no other game can give contest to this.So all those Bball fans out there pick it up its cheap and great thats what makes it so much better. Last note (watch out for Kobe Bryant he dont play)
