I'm a huge NBA fan, and this game made me a bigger one. It's gr8, but it's not as what people say it is.
Gameplay is realistic and fun at the same time. I mean, there isn't more I can say other than it's real and fun.
I'm gonna state the disadvantages now because whatever I don't mention means it's gr8 or perfect.
One slight issue is dunking. U can't stop the CPU when it gets into it's dunking animation besides fouling which usually results in an and 1. Also, when I drove with Torkoglu of all people, I did a very easy crossover and dunked over 3 people. It's kinda fake how any player u drive with who usually dunks can do so no matter the contact. I mean, players usually lay it up acrobatically instead. I give maybe 5 to 7 facials a game. Also, CPU fast break a lot, especially on missed free throws of all things lol
Also, difficulty setting is my main issue. U play on all star, it is absolutely perfect and realistic in terms of gameplay. However, u always end up winning as the CPU make stupid decisions here and there. U bump it up to superstar and it's challenging and fun. And then starts the cheating. CPU will cheat continuously and frustrate the heck out of you. This is why a potential 9 went down to an 8. There really isn't a proper difficulty which is fair and challenging. Other than that, gr8 game and whatever I dint mention means it's fine.
