Best Basketball game on Xbox 360
Gameplay-The game play is very nice. The shot stick is a great addition and they should keep it in next years game for sure. The dribbling moves and crossovers and what not are done well but it can get a bit easy to crossover people. The shot stick really shines when you are going in for a lay up or dunk.
Graphics-The graphics are amazing, the player models are incredible (the black players are a lot better than the white players for som reason though) The crowd is about as good as most xbox graphics but that is a good start since these are the first games to put hole polygons as the crowd.. I think.. but anways i recomend this game just for the eye candy.. But the one drawback is that if you want to really enjoy it you need an HD...
Sound- The crowd sounds real which is good..( I usually listen to music while playing it though) and the announcers are preety good, the sneekers sliding against the ground sounds real and other miscellaneous things make it shine.
Value-It has great value.. I just wish they would have pollished the street ball a little more..ex. there is a glitch that when you are on defense you can hold the intentional foul button down while running and the player will stay still while running..its wierd.. and also i have had to restart the game a few times because in the middle of the game i am incapable of passing the ball (it is not the controller). But other than that everything seems good.
In conclusion if you are hesitant on which basketball game you want defianetly go with this one.. Coming from someone who has played both i know what i am saying.
