An extremely fun experience. With improvements on the animations, presentation, my career, and association modes, this series just keeps getting better.
I am not a fan of the new online VC though. Skill points were a better system.
Also all the celebrity stuff incorporated because of jay-z is useless and detracts from the quality of the game.
I gave story a low rating because it doesn't have one. And it shouldn't. Its a sports game.

Love the game. It's amazing how many moves you can make. Either by post moves or either driving to the goal. Even the shooting stroke of a player is unbelievable

The game is great but it can be hard to upgrade your created player. Upgrading the player is good to me though. You can purchase VC and upgrade your player. Money is power. My player is a 76 overall right now and I think he is one of the best players in the NBA in career mode. I don't even play most of the other modes but the game have a lot to offer.

The best sports game ever

This is truly the best sports game on the market. The career mode is the best as I'm not much of an online player. I love that you start out with the rookie showcase game to show off your talents and from there you get drafted. You start off with low minutes as most rookies go but if you're good enough you'll earn more and more playing time until eventually you're a starter. Not only throughout your career you'll hit milestones but the game will throw a dynamic goal that needs to be reached, and if you do your victory points increase. With your victory points you can purchase player upgrades for skills or outfit your players avatar with designer clothing, tattoos, accessories, etc.
The audio commentary is pretty much spot on and with Kevin Harlan calling the play-by-play it doesn't get better than that.
Needless to say I can't put this game down.

Very nice game on xbox, kids love playing this game and it is very easy to pick up an play withour knowing all too much about how to play. Pick up and Play is so important when you don't have too much time to learn games.

If you like sports games in general and basketball at that then this is a must have for you or a gift for someone else. This franchise has yet to fail especially with the new Dream Team vs the current new USA Team! Bottom line, get it, you won't be disappointed.
