2k sports have made ea sports look ugly with this game. This is so real. It even has Lebron james biting his fingernails. But what is has is more realistic gameplay with the lock on d and thats what makes defensive play better than NBA live. I have played nba live since 2003 but one thing i have waited for since 03 is the feature to create a team and that's what 2k sports have done. But the weakness for 2k sports is FREE THROW SHOOTING it is son difficult you have to get your timing write and as soon as you have it down with one player the other player has a different release. Another feature is the nba blacktop which has a dunk contest, a game of 21, and a 3 point shootout. All of these are fairly difficult the dunk contest is hard just to complete a dunk.
The signature moves are really great. I personally love playing with kobe because once he gets hot he starts driving the lane and throwing down and the same with Lebron
