Michael Jordan gets paid his dues.

"Honestly, the stuff with Michael Jordan is reason enough to pick up NBA 2K11. The fact that 2K Sports did so much more with this game and improved it so greatly over last year's title is stunning. This isn't just the best basketball game ever; it's the best sports game of this generation."

This coming from the fanboy who deliberately gives games he has never even touched a score of 1.0 and gave the PS3 version of AC2 a 10 while giving the 360 version a 1.0

It should've gotten a 10. But well deserved.

EA should pack up their bags and cancel NBA Elite, use that money to make a decent Madden or Medal of Honor.

Sports games are doing pretty well right now with Fifa 11 having an 89 metacritic score and NHL 11 having a 90 metacritic score.

Wow :shock:

I was going to get it regardless of the scores, just because of the Miami Heat fiasco which caused such a ruckus over the summer. I'm from Miami, that's my excuse for boarding the bandwagon. :P

I don't know about that. I have to admit, that AI was improved greatly in the demo and the rebounding and missed shots were actually fair and balanced. Way to many turnovers though, but that may have been my fault. I don't know if I want to trust IGN. I've been burned to many times with bad basketball games.

I would never play a sports game on the PC. Some genre just don't belong on the PC and sports is one of them. Last sports game I played on the PC was this http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sports/hardball6/ . Actually there is one sports game I do still play on the PC. Haven't played it in so long, I forgot. That game is "Links 2003" - http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sports/links2003/index.html That's probably the only sport I would continue to play on my PC.

To late for MOH what can they do in the 11 days they have, but I do wonder what Elite would of scored, I agree they should just cancel and spend it on another game and fire everyone who made elite.

I may have to check it out. I'll pre-order it and wait for more reviews. Going to have to play the demo again a few more times. I'm glad that at least one reviewer believes 2K finally got it right. I hope they fixed the quarterly stats. That was broken for the past 5 years. lol!! My interest has been peeked though after reading the review and seeing the videos. Game still looks incredible.
