The system is shallow in that an overhyped prospect doesn't bust and you never find diamonds in the rough in later rounds. Unless you have a top 3 pick dont even bother. Needless to say after a few years the league gets pretty whacky.Ĥ) Drafting is a crapshoot. One team in particular had Kyrie Irving, drafted a top 5 point guard, and then signed Chris Paul in free agency. Teams will overstack with 3 starting point guards and pay not attention to their power forward. If your quarter starts and your down 8-0 its gonna get worse.Ģ) Players generally miss open shots if you shoot too early in the shot clock your punished for uptempo styleģ) In Association mode, computer GM's make awful trades and sign free agents that make little sense. If your opponent has hit a few shots in a row you will NOT make an open jumper, lay-up, etc. This game also has some real issues to work out:ġ) Momentum in the game is really overpowering. This game is really good for a couple reasons:ġ) the character animations are fantastic and so is the presentation of the gameĢ) Teams play differently and you can recognize itģ) Playing games throughout history and learning from it is lots of funĤ) Players have unique skill sets and playing in the post is entertaining. Even if you aren't a "baller" you can still have fun with this one. Wheres 2K Sports have fallen way behind the curve in their baseball franchise, they are the "industry leader" in this NBA fare and I hope they continue into the future. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised by this game and foresee more hours of fun with it in the future. ![]() The controls are simple enough for beginners, yet "deep" enough for the seasoned vet to perfect his/her game. The biggest reason? The control scheme is very well designed (the key structure of any successful sports video game franchise). Though I can't comment on the "frills" of this game (career mode, practice, etc.) as I will never use them, I have now played dozens of exhibitions against friends and have immensely enjoyed the experience. ![]() I obliged, and quite surprisingly was **** in from the opening tip-off of that first game. Last week, however, my brother brought home this game and wanted to play a few games. Simply put, I'm just a baseball/football guy. ![]() The last time I owned a basketball video game was NBA Jam for my Super Nintendo. The last time I watched an entire professional basketball game was during the Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Malone/Stockton era.
