It's beautiful but the controls just aren't fluid.
BUT..... all of that is somewhat ruined because of the frustrating control system. Isomotion? What Isomotion? It's pretty bad. Sometimes the player has a mind of his own and you end up going out of bounds or you may score but you realize that you may not have wanted your player to go left when you meant to go right.
Honestly if 2k had live's control scheme this game would be an 8.5 at the least. The control scheme needs a complete facelift. Also to those that give the argument well "you just need to practice the controls" doesn't always apply because the controls don't always work for every situation. It's very inconsistent at best.
Like I said the game is beautiful and even the crowd and sound effects are engaging but it's all ruined because of the control scheme. I really wanted to like this game but alas there is just too much frustration here.
I get frustrated enough with work and people at my job. No thanks. Until the control scheme is revamped I really don't think I will buy another 2k basketball game unless I get it dirt cheap or as a gift.
