First off i have to say, the game is fun and looks great. There are a couple of issues i've noticed though. I find the learning curve a bit steep for a game like this, the first few hours is really difficult, but i suppose this could be a good thing because it's due to the fact that the AI is so damn good. The AI runs plays and executes them with relative smoothness, where in past games they would just aimlessly pick and roll and pass the ball around. The second issue i noticed, is a really odd one, i searched online for a while to see if anyone else had the problem but no one seems to have. Sometimes i get into playing a game where someone scores, and the ball never switches possession, the ball will go into the hoop, drop to the floor, and just keep bouncing there. The points count but the shot shows up as a miss, all the while everyone just stands around, until you grab the ball and proceed down the court without ever taking the ball out from out of bounds, which starts to make you go crazy after a while because your star player who is shooting 7 of 11, is in reality 0 for 11.

Finally speaking, i love the game, controls are great, incredibly realistic, with exception to that flaw i mentioned this game is the best basketball sim out there, highly recommended.
