Sloppy but somehow it grows on you.
Yeah what do expect, dribble the ball to the other court, pass then shoot. Its your average basketball game just with better Physics. That's the only thing that changed in this game in the series. The rest of the game Franchise Mode, Season and etc are just the same. The only thing improved in this game is the Physics. The basketball game looked more "Flexible" and cool. However the gameplay itself looked sloppier, the players movements sometimes don't match the game's distinct moves along with "surprise steals" and bad free throw shooting method (moving balls to the center) made this game sloppy for me.
But anyways if you get used to it, you'll end up just fine and find yourself still having fun playing basketball.
