And I wonder if it's worth it, if in the end their graded no differently than Tiburon's Madden 11 effort. It's like NBA2K is never judged for everywhere it goes beyond what other sports games are attempting to do. I can see quibbling about a gameplay quirk here, or someone's face not being "perfect" there. But I'd think the areas where they go above and beyond what other developers do (additional gameplay options, customization, player characterization/personality, presentation, etc.) would help overcome some of those things. Personally I think this will be the game other developer efforts will be compared to going forward - and rightfully so. And it should be appropriately recognized/rewarded

absolutely agree!!! It demands a 9,5 at least....

But nice read anyway.

I have to agree with the lack of control on BlackRome's part. Still a big issue in this game. I don't know how people say this game controls much smoother. It's just as wonky as ever, control wise. 2K needs to overhaul the controls and player controlled movement or find a way to fit in people who prefer better controls ala Live 10/Elite 11.Everything else is just fine, to me.

Good review, too much Jordan talk, but overall it's a good review and good rating. Can't see myself giving it a ten, it's not perfect because it has too many bugs.

If You play with the drive camera CHERRY PICKING is UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! online & offline it doesnt matter, 2k PLEASE read this and make a patch and have the cherry picking like last year where you would throw it out of Bounds because it is unstoppable someone used kobe bryant and played zero defense with him after I would shoot he would grab the rebound and bomb it down court he finished the game with 3 turnovers and 58 points on fast break all off of cherry picking I dont quit online so I had to suffer the whole game. If 2k makes a patch for this and some other minor problems such as maybe toning down the verticals of the big man this will no doubt get game of the year!

How can those two versions differ in gameplay ? Its the same game ported to two different plattforms.

Really hope 2k patch in some better camera angles in My Player pick-up mode becuz that "broadcast dynamic" angle is garbage (2k10s was way better) and some more courts would be great, not feeling that night court which is the only court available in My Player pick-up mode!!!!

Great review. I will admit I am disappointed in the changes made to NBA Blacktop. I like to kill time by playing the Slam Dunk or 3-Point contest and the changes made were disappointing. If anything they should have left it as is. Playing against Lebron with MJ in a dunk contest via Split Screen is horrible. Not to mention...am playing the CPU split screen period. Also, 3-Point contests you can't skip the CPU to get to your player. You have to sit there and watch the whole thing. This is just a gripe but one worth mentioning.

Also, NBA 2K11 is Move compatible and I have not seen any feedback on those controls. I hope you guys will post something in regards to that in the future.
