One word: Amazing.
mosf | July 8, 2011 | See all mosf's reviews »Admittedly this is the first year I've ever picked up a game from the NBA 2K series and it probably won't be the last. Being thrown immediately into the action was exciting. The graphics are very good, it would be difficult to pick a flaw in the graphics. Game play is fairly wide-ranged for a sporting game. With 1 on 1's, Franchise, Slam Dunk Competitions and Tournaments this game won't be a pick up, play, put down game. Also being able to relive Michael Jordan's famous games feels like being in the game itself, then once beating all the challenges, playing as a young Jordan all the way through his career. This game is a must for all basketball fanatics, and possibly for those that love a good sports game.

Best basketball simulation game to date
sesprit21 | July 1, 2011 | See all sesprit21's reviews »I approached this game expecting it to be great, but to call it that would be a huge understatement. NBA 2K11 excels on so many levels. First of all, we have to talk about the main selling point to a lot of people - 'His Airness' Michael Jordan. He is integrated into the main game perfectly with a mode of his own, where you get to relive his greatest career moments. The gameplay of 2K11 is top notch - a perfect blend of simulation and fun. You fell like every move counts on the court and momentum swings can help you or have your team bite the dust. The graphics are great as well, however there were some minor glitches, but they didn't interupt the main game. All in all, this is a game I recommend to every sports fan and to casual gamers as well, because it is extremely fun, but quite hard to master.

Best sports game ever
holmglen03 | May 29, 2011 | See all holmglen03's reviews »One word came to mind when I first started playing this, WOW. This game has ridiculous graphics. The gameplay is definitely on the simulation side, but keep sticking at it like I did and you'll find a very rewarding game here. Great atmosphere sound wise too. You could be forgiven for thinking that you were watching a game on TV rather than playing a game. A simply awesome game, and the best sports game ever for me.

One word to describe this game "amazing"
wahidasoldier | April 8, 2011 | See all wahidasoldier's reviews »I was very impressed with this game from the start. I see many "casual" gamers as they call them are very upset that this game is not to there liking. Go play NBA ELITE 11, oh wait I forgot that got canceled because it wasn't appealing to hardcore gamers like myself. This game hands down deserves Sports Game of the Year. I will admit it has a very sharp learning curve to it but after I played for 3-4 hours it became a piece of cake. With authentic presentation and real-time updates from NBA Today, this game is a complete package for anyone who loves playing basketball. Players feel real, play real. Many have said they like NBA Live better because they actually have control of their player. Players move like they do in 2K11 because it simulates their actual movements in real life! No two players have the exact same shot and defense brings a very competitive aspect when playing against the CPU. One problem that really brings this game down is the online servers. I totally avoid pick-up games because it lags me out every time I tried to play one. 5-on-5 is a joke since it lags every split second which is a real bummer since if online had been perfected, this game would have gotten a perfect score.
