User Rating: 5.5 | ESPN NBA Basketball XBOX
This game was a huge disappointment to me. The graphics look worse to me than the 2K3 game. They seem blurrier and more jagged. The ISO motion is garbage. You charge 90% of the time, and it doesn't really shake the defender the few times you don't actually get called for the charge. The post up moves are also garbage. I don't understand how gamespot could give this game an 8.9. As far as I'm concerned, it adds very little new content that is worthwhile. The 24/7 mode was fun for about an hour, but from there, I was bored out of my mind by it's repetition. The create a player is very basic. It is still a decent basketball game, but I see little to no improvement over the last game in the series. The audio tracks are horrible? Who the fook is Mantronic? The bottom line according to me: They took NBA 2K3, screwed up the graphics & controls, and added a weak 24x7 mode.
