Just Right

Time Spent:

100 or More Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

the game looks good and is definitely better then 2k8. It is but too easy to score in the paint which make me feel frustrated sometime . I sometimes felt like throwing my controller( -.- ) cause sometimes even a point guard can score over a centre effortlessly and i mean it. But the living roster made it worth the wait and the graphics and sound effect are good. The charging and blocking foul are adjusted much better then 2k8 and can be said the most realistic basketball sim i have played. The association2.0 mode and other game mode are much improved and the players stats are quite similar. so after much blabbering, the game is almost there but not quite. Set plays like pick and roll are much more realistic and better but sometimes the player doesnt react to a play like some kind of bug? and they often DT players like shaq and leaves the outside shooter open, i mean i rather let a opponent score a 2 rather that a 3 pointer right??(lol)
