All Star Weekend is the reason to play this game.

The All Star Weekend mode is what makes this game alright. First time you play the slam dunk contest its very exciting. Later once you get the hang of it, then it begins to get boring. 3-pt shoot thing is really easy. Then you get the other stuff which is alright. Playing a game is very easy.To get pass a player, just spin. The only thing hard is shooting the ball. Its impossible to shoot a 3-pt. You have to time it right and it gets real frustrating. The players' looks don't look as good as espn 2k5. EA did lower the price which is good. If you love Slam Dunks and 3-pts and won't get bored after a while, then maybe you might to buy it. i would rent first. Don't expect much from this game.
