Can't say i'm too surprised though. OS is known for being pretty bias for 2k. We need reviewrs that actually talk about things that are seriously wrong with the game(like VC points, autosave, my player ai, rebounding, etc.)

But a former staff writer was hired at ea? I am only pointing that out to say that what company you think the site favors is based quite a bit off of your own opinion.

Btw, how have 2ks baseball reviews gone here? Or are you talking about people praising three of the best sports games ever made in nfl 2k5, college hoops 2k8, and NBA 2k11. A classic every three years in a genre will earn praise from a website based on that type of game. Shocking, I know

Horrible review, this sounds like relaying press releases of 2k and calling it a review, no analysis of how well the new VC system works, not mention of the many many glitches that are back. And when does 2K start to get heat for their atrocious menus, and settings that don't save properly.

The Game play is much improved over 2k12, even with the glitches, the presentation took a big step backwards. They really made it look like a TV broadcast last year, this year it feels like Jay-Z presents Basketball not even NBA..

I give this review one star rating. The horrible implementation of VC wasn't pointed out. If you played other recent sport games with their ultimate team implementation, you should see how 2K is shoving VC concept down people's throat with their approach. I'm not completely against company making money off this. But VC should only be within MyTeam mode. That's where it belongs.

lol @some people not wanting to give the game it's due. While I do think the review itself lacked the depth/detail I expected, the reason I expected more is because the game has a ridiculous amount of content. For everyone chiding the review and the game for the few things 2K may have gotten wrong, there's an overwhelming amount that 2K got right. But in typical OS fashion you have the vocal minority focusing more on the 5 questions missed on a test instead of the 95 you get right. People can fault the review for not touching on some of the game's flaws, but the review also didn't touch on or spent little time on some of it's major accomplishments (like Signature Skills).

I think people also need to realize in a genre where there's open competition, this game has done THE unthinkable and made it's competition tap out not once, not twice... three times by my count. It was unthinkable back when it happened with 2K11 - it's practically unfathomable two years later. If some of you want to continue hating, knock yourselves out. Won't change this is the greatest sports game release this generation (imo)

9.5 may be a tiny bit of a stretch, but the game is awesome and I really don't see how anyone can say it isn't by far the best NBA game ever, possibly best sports game ever. I haven't delved enough into all the modes and features to have personally witnessed some of the things people are complaining about, but when a game has this much content to offer, I think you can throw them a bone if every feature isn't 100% perfect. To me, the game on the court is heads and shoulders above its predecessors, and that's what is most important in my opinion. I don't see myself getting bored with this in 2 months like last year.

Yep....9.5 sounds about right...Have thoroughly enjoyed this years version..Online has been Good to go...offline Training Camps a blast//being about to skip around...The presentation is so immersive..
