    My son loves the game. Like the road to the show method. Play a few games, get drafted or go to college.

    The game is fun and the kids seem to enjoy it. The music is not always appropriate for young kids.

    My MyPlayer account expires every 4-5 days. I've tried everything that is recommended but nothing works. I have no issues with any other games

    First time playing this game. There is a learning curve with the controls, but the action is fun.

    Bought this for a 13-year old basketball fanatic and he likes the game very much--plays it daily. He especially likes the part of the game where he becomes a player and we watch him develop over the "years" to become an NBA player. It was the first purchase he wanted when he switched from 360 to One.

    I couldn't get into the game this year. I like how they focus detail on the players and their mannerisms, but the game has gotten too sim like which decreases some of the fun. The most disappointing thing is that when I played, the best player for this type of game (Steph Curry) wasn't very good in it. 2K needs some competition and fast. Also, stop changing the controls every year. Focus on game play.

    Just like with Madden, another year, another NBA 2K. Might as well just have one base game and charge for roster updates.

    Got NBA Live last year and thought 2K would be a good thing to look into this season. The game is okay but I expected more

    The biggest reason I purchased this game was the heavily hyped career mode designed by Spike Lee, and it was a big let down to say the least. The college and high school functions of the career don't do anything to contribute to your player's career, and the between game cut-scenes are painful to watch.

    If you're really into the NBA you'll probably enjoy it. If you're not, then I don't think it's worth the money.
