I picked it up October 2nd and put it in I got home later on in the evening. My wife had to tell me to get off cuz I just could not get enough. The animations are far much better than last years game, the commentators are way more intelligent, and the online play has been improved 100%. No more length of the court passing and cherry picking. You actually have to kno the game of basketball and take advantage of the whole team, not just the star player. A couple of issues though. That slam dunk contest is harder than I don't know to what to be able to master. The instructions are not that clear and the animation during the contest is iffy. Also, when you are double teamed in the game, it is way too easy to get the ball turned over. It looks like your guy just hands the other team the ball, then they are off on a fast break.

Other than that, I will be playing much online and an association season or two. Good job 2k as usual.
