Terrible...worse than the Gamespot review and I didn't even have half the bugs they did.
It is an absolute violation of the Wii-mote. Nothing works. Everything is broken. Wellllllll, you can shake the controller to either side once you have the ball and are near the basket since it will result in can't-miss dunk or lay-up no matter how many people are clogging the lane. The premise of raising the controller on defense to try and block said dunk-attempt is beyond broken. Games between friends quickly devolve into dunk-fests. I probably make this sound cooler than it actually is so let me point out that the dunks look and feel terrible. As are the rest of the graphics and animations. I wish I could tell you I was joking when I tell you this looks like a PS1 game. You heard me right. Added features such as a dunk contest and a 3-point contest are so laughably easy that I hit 11 3-pointers in a row. Oh, while looking the other way.
Quality Assurance must have tanked this game so bad that they actually implemented an 'easy' control scheme where all you do is shoot and pass. That's right, you watch the guys run around and press a button to pass and another to shoot. YES, IT IS AS AWFUL AS IT SOUNDS!
EA should have scrapped this game in order to develop it the correct way for next season. Instead they decided to insult basketball and Wii fans with absolute garbage that is nigh unplayable.
Stay away, not even worth $5.00 in the bargain bin.
