"Basketball has always been a highflying fast paced, fun to watch and even more fun to play sport. It has a way of energising you whether you are sitting back and watching your favourite team light up the court or out in the driveway driving the paint with the buddies. Basketball is the ultimate sport."
Overall: its your basic basketball game but has tons of extras like espn shows and stuff you can get offline. Gameplay: This plays so slow and unrealistic. im playing with dwight howard and in game he cant make a dunk to save his life. it may be because the controls are so blocky its almost impossible to make his do a basic two handed dunk. yes there are buttons you have to push to make a normal two handed safe dunk. this makes me remember why i quit playing live and picked 2k. one of the biggest out of game problems is the menus. they look cool but you cant just go to a starters page you have to adjust playing time(this is in dynasty) its just confusing trying to find the stuff you want. Graphics: the visuals are really good. the players look like they should the coaches leave something to be desired but honestly who cares what a coach looks like. menus look good. and the whole baskettball court making itself is real cool. the biggest thing i noticed is that the arenas (at least orlandos) atually look like the arenas in real life. Sound: all the sounds but one are real good. but what the heck did they use for the sound of a basketball hitting a rim. it sounds like they went outside and slapped a twig against the sidewalk. i know some OLD rims sound like that but ive never heard an NBA rim sound like that. unfortunatly since it is dang near impossible to make a shot that was a sound i heard a lot so it made me really not like the sound. Suggestions: overall make a better game. sluggish controls are not fixed by slwong down the actual pace of the game. it looked like everything was in slow motion. and make movement typical of a certain type of player. i mean i can windmill dunk with jameer nelson but i cant just slam it home with dwight howard. i played with shaq and i know he wouldn't try to look like tracy mcgrady while he's dunking. it just doesn't look right.
