There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
i played a few games with it, but since im used to play on the pc, i had many problems trying to make the right things with the controller: with the pc you can configure the buttons anyway you want to, but with the xbox version you cant.. there are like 4 combinations and none of them is similar to the one i always use with basketball games... so that was a huge let down because ive been playing nba games for more than a decade now, and always using similar combinations
so.. i decided to download the pc version, and the graphics are great, the gameplay smooth although there are a lot of moves that you have to learn in order to be competitive and get the best out of the game (post moves, dribbling, different jump shots)
love the legends mode and my player has new things that makes it more apealing.
i started an association inserting some of the legends on it.. the steps to put them in the rosters are very tedious and i hate the fact that you cant change their ages (so they wont retire early) but i least you can use them.
on my knicks team i have kareem (during his milwaukee days) kurt rambis (love the look with those awful glasses hahaha) and drazen petrovic!!! great addition to the game.
so the game is great, i miss the rookies but theres nothing you can do with the lockout. much better than nba2k11 wich is algo a great game
There a few bugs, and can sometimes be frustrating. You have to be careful with passing, turnovers will be easy to make at first. In My Player mode the teammate grading can be "ridiculous" at times, it's too sensitive. Otherwise this is a nearly perfect sports game. It's very realistic, fun, detailing and the presentation is simply awesome.
ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE PURCHASE! A+
2.My player mode is a lot better than 2k11 BUT it's still very very frustrating. It challenges you to make good passes, run plays and take good shots. Leveling up your player is hard but rewarding and when you do make those rare 3 pointers they are pure joy. Being able to have a certain say so in what team you get drafted to is nice although you don't really know, just hope you get drafted to a good team or your season will be short. I got drafted to the Celtics but Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, KG, and Rondo play like rookies. They constantly take bad shots, turn the ball over, leave their man wide open, miss wide open shots, pass to me with a second or two left on the clock, and many more things that get frustrating. No matter how good you play it really comes down to if the computer decides to make shots or not. The AI cheats and knows what play you are running and if you play on Hall of Fame difficulty than speed and quickness don't matter. Even if your speed is 99, a 7 foot center will keep up with on the fast break. If you help out your team mate with a double team and their man scores you will be penalized. If you go for a block on a fast break the refs will call a foul on you 99.9% of the time, but if the other team goes for a block on the fast break they will stop the score 90 percent of the time. If you play of Hall of Fame mode don't think your 20 point lead in the 4th will last. The CPU goes into GOD mode and makes EVERYTHING in the 4th. Winning by 10 or 20 is rare, it's most likely going to come down to the wire which is fun but frustrating when they make all their shots and Ray Allen can't hit a wide open 3.
In all it's a pretty fun game if you put a few hours into it and get used to the controls. Get prepared to rage quit when the CPU blocks all your shots and hits everything in the 4th.
