Yes I said the best sports game out there, if you look at the ratings, 2KSports Basketball has bee the best rated sports game out there. Not Madden, not Baseball god not NHL Hockey, it's been the 2KSports series basketball game. There aren't a lot of changes in this year's version but the changes made really makes this game more realistic then ever.
Playing defense is more realistic and a bit more harder this year, now that you can shadow the player with the ball left to right, so if he is a right handed player you can shadow him to that said making him go to his off side. That is a cool feature that gives you a bit more of an option on how to play your man. You have more of a option on calling plays on the fly and you can make coaching changing from the play screen allow you to make adjustments more of the fly then last year.
The graphics hasn't changed much though there are more animation this year, but with the added animation, specially on the fans in the stand side, the game can get a bit laggy at times. The sound of the game is still very well done; you can hear the players talk and the coaches calling plays on the side. The announcers are a bit better this year, though they say the same things over and over, after awhile its better to just turn them off and listen to the court talk. I turn off the music as soon as I get the game, so I can't tell you anything about the sound tracks in the game; they are usually pretty worthless to me.
Overall there isn't much to complain about in this game I think the game made some changes, and some improvements but overall the game is getting a bit dated, and maybe not as much fun as last year, but still by far the best sports game out there.
