Great graphics, great gameplay.
Gameplay:
It's a lot better than previous series. Now u get to use the sixaxis for shooting free throws.
The gameplay is more realistic now, but not to the point where you wouldn't have fun like 2k8. There's many teams, also WNBA, but it's very limited and heard that EA is going to add more next year.
You start the screen in a training basketball court, very much similar to fifa08, you can pick your player u want in the court to practice on.
The presentation is great, but repititive, meaning the introduction of players are always the same. But somehow i am never tired of it.
One big thing added this year was the player's favourite shooting area layout. It makes u instantly recognise who ur 3 pointers are and who ur dunkers are.
Now to the bad part, the loading times, it's pretty long, but can be overlooked. Another thing is the slowdown bug, i don't call it framerate because it isn't exactly so. Whenever a replay is on and u exit it, the game will start to lag bad, the way to solve it is to see through the replay and exit halfway or lower the chances of auto replay.
There's many variations of moves, but also more dunks, more accurate moves of each players. It's like they did a motion capture. But one flaw is the collision, it's evident in other basketball games as well, like 2k8, sometimes players shud have gotten an offensive foul but they didn't, so they kind of smash though a player and do a dunk, sometimes even makin a defensive foul.
