Solid basketball game, but features could be better.
The graphics in this game are great, and it is possibly the best looking B-ball game ive ever seen. But just one question, why do all of the Xbox characters look like they're wearing shiny saran wrap over their clothing?
The sound is pretty much self-explanatory. The announcers announce, and the croud cheers, and the players even talk occasionally. If you like rap and hip pip, you'll like the soundtrack, but that's not my thing. You can have custom tracks, but I hate how when you have a long song, it doesn't change when you change screens. It just plays over and over until you can finish the whole track in one loading screen. Plus, my music doesn't exactly go with the basketball theme, but that's not the game's fault.
The gameplay in this game is solid. There are many unlockable game modes to play and it can be fun sometimes. It seems a little too hard to steal the ball though, unless you take a charge.
Overall, this is a great basketball game, but personally I prefer the feel of NBA Live. They could have also added a crib like they had in NFL 2K5, which would have added a little extra fun to the game.
