Best Basketball sim out there

User Rating: 9 | NBA 2K9 PS3
I have been an NBA Live fan since I got 2005 for the Game Cube, but 2K has passed it up. The overall feel of the game just feels right. Controls are smooth, and everything is up to date.

Pros.
- Great Graphics
- Lots of side stuff to do
- Great controls
- Analog stick shooting mechanic is great
- Up to date rosters

Cons.
- Some animations feel very stiff
- Sometimes gets on the difficult side

Story: N/A

Sound: 9/10
Very good music and sound effects, but sometimes the songs get repetitive

Controls: 9/10
Very sharp controls, but a few bugs keep it from being perfect

Difficulty: 6/10
Sometimes a little too hard for my liking

Presentation: 9/10
Awesome menus, but I did get lost my first time around

Graphics: 8/10
Everything looks great, but there are parts that feel just flat out unfinished

Gameplay: 8/10
Awesome, it feels smooth and just right. There are times when some minor bugs make it questionable

"Fun Factor": 9/10
Do you like basketball? Then you will like this game.

Should I get it?
If you like basketball then yes, but if you don't like basketball, there isn't a game on this earth that will change your mind. But this one is great.
