    If VC wasn’t so heavily incorporated into the game it’d be even better. Best basketball sim still though and the graphics are great, solid animations.

    Great game, graphics and animation better than last year. The server is still a little spotty when trying to join a friend in mypark. But still a pretty good experience. A little disappointed in the MyPark gameplay.

    Have no clue about the game, but my kiddo wanted it for Christmas, Best Buy had it for a good price, it’s bought and wrapped, so it gets 5 stars! :)

    This game is great. I love the new career mode and how everything is in one place. I don’t like how you have to upgrade your player overall rating.

    2k is never disappointing and this year's inst either. The only complaint i can come up with is that loading times are definitely on the slow side.

    2K is the best game on the market for a reason. Great graphic, gameplay can't be beat. Plus the new modes and teams, makes this game untouchable.

    This is a great game and the my career is a nice touch with the neighborhood. One thing I hate is all the microtransaction in the game, they try to make you buy vc coins. But it is a great game and gameplay.

    I can't wait to see what this will look like on the Xbox 1X. This is one of those games where the graphics almost look like you're watching a real game, it gets mistaken for one as people walk past the Tv.

    I really like the game so far. The game play is good. Graphics and player mannerisms are on point. While I'd recommend this game to others, it isn't as enjoyable as Madden when it comes to sports games.

    This is awesome being able to practice with purpose and travel through the city. However, I don't like that o can't choose my agent with a different ethnicity the same way I'm able to choose my player.
