Somehow, this series gets worse every year.
Boring. The same old boring shot meter is there, and it is way too easy to control. You can easily score more than 100 points a game without even trying.
Sound
Nothing new. The fans cheer on and off. The players never speak a word.
Graphics
The players look like their wrapped in vaseline. They start sweating, but you can't see the sweat, they just get bright and shiny (thus, they look like they are wearing vaseline).
Get NBA 2K7 instead.
