This is the best Backetball game ever made! There, I said it and I don't regret it.EA has done a magnificent job on handling this game. First thing you'll notice are the graphics, they're very polished. Player faces look authentic ,they animate very well ,player movement is spot on. Only people who know the real game can appreciate that. Gameplay wise the game shines, the controll feels like an extension of yourself handling smooth and seemless, though I have some gripes with player reaction time. Like when you get your shot blocked your player will not recover until the other player has possession of the ball. Very cheap tactic by the developer to keep a certain flow to the game.Shooting is spot on, you can now play some decent defense and the fastbreaks are the best since 2K on Dreamcast. This game is challenging at the highest setting, so you must be on your game to win. I love that! Multiplayer is a blast, I have spent many nights battleling friends and family members ,serious fun. An Allstar Weekend has been added this year with a dunk contest ,3 point shootout, and rookie challenge for those who like that. I just stick with season mode. I highly recomend this game, LIVE owns baby.
