First off the graphics are great, the sweat effects and the jersey movement are very nice, as the game goes on you can see that your jersey gets damp of sweat and it pours down your players face. Almost every player has a very detailed face. The crowd is very active along with the mascot and dancers. The sounds is greta but i have encountered a few bugs, like when you start the second half the commentator will say "Anthe the second half will con..............." nothing. But besides that the graphics are a 10 and the sound a 9.5

and now for the bad stuff.
The redicoulous fg% of about 60-70 a game, the cpu drops way too many threes on you and I have even have jason kidd come off of a spin and just throw up a shot and he cuffed it! the cpu hardly misses and guys that should make a difference in a game make too many of a difference, passing is horrible, to many tipped passes turning into turnovers in which the cpu will definatley capitolize on.

my first game i played was against the thunder just to get a feel for the game but it was too competitive because i was the lakers. the final score 76-80 and i won, but really, the thunder hang with the lakers?
there are too many dunks in the lane and the free throw mechanics is very stupid because different players shoot differently and you have to guess when to release.
Reelmaker is a good idea but not needed.

your team offense will not move around much and they do not try for rebounds

theyre on the right track but the game needs a little more work

i give it a 7.5
Go 76ers!

    This game could have been better

    I dont know about anyone else out there but personally this game is too complicated and hard. All the new stuff in the basic menus and in the gameplay are cool. BUT, some of the new animations seems overly trying to be r... Read Full Review
