Not just 2K, any series. NBA 2K11 gets my vote

Boge · 10-03-2012, 01:04 PM

I'm not sure the greatest, but my tops, and all about even for their time:

TV Sports Basketball
NBA Live 99
NBA 2K8
NBA 2K11

This should go in the "other" basketball forum..

Also, i'm so tired of the 2K11 jerk fest. If you like it so much, go play that and stop talking about it in the 2k13 forums.

Comparing the games side by side, it would most likely be 2k13 as the series gets better with almost every release (in varying wide of steps, though).

Judging by how good a game is for its own time, 2k11 is quite up there.
But I would probably go with NBA Live 99 or 2000, then. Those games where huge back then.
And 2k11, although definitely a milestone in its own, was not flawless.

It's a matter of taste. To me, it's impossible to call a certain game that didn't even have a post-up option/button as the greatest ever, yet I see people declaring that NBA Live '95, for example, is the greatest ever. I'll never get it, but I guess they mean they had most fun with it back then ('back then' are the key words).

For me, 2K13 is the best. From the moment I touched it I knew this would be my favorite basketball game. I didn't play much 2K12 or 2K11 (well, more of 2K11), but enough to realize that neither gave me the the experience 2K13 gave me the moment I touched it.

If we're talking pure nostalgia and what game gave you most fun in the past - NBA Live 99 (PC, no consoles for me until 2003) is right there. I felt it was the smoothest, best graphics and most fun game back then.

I have created full rosters with all names and attributes and played it at my friend's. The only game to have player jumping with momentum back then, when no game had such thing.

Live 95
Jam TE
Street 2
2K1

And if we're counting unlicensed games, throw Double Dribble in there.
