    EA, please learn how to make a basketball game that's actually based off of basketball next year. Buy an NBA rulebook and have the lead designer thoroughly study it, please.

    Better than last year but with new faults... Even the "big men" have to adjust their shot if any 6 footers are defending them. Shaq, Dirk, Duncan all get blocked during slams 60% of the time if anyone is nearby... The training mode in dynasty is just gay... You have to play full length games in order to get the most dynasty points but games go to 200+ points if you play full time... You can just sit in front of a player screwing with the freestyle controls and pop up to shoot and that increases the chance of your shot going in a hell of a lot, no matter who is defending... And worst of all, it turns into monkey ball in the 4th quarter no matter what the game pace is or what the score is. If I hit 70% of the 3 pointers in the 3rd quarter with the Mavs, they will hit 5% in the 4th no matter who they play. … Expand

    This game was a big disappoinment they improved little if at all. So what they have an NBA Store. What does it do for gameplay? NOTHING.The graphics suck compared to 2k4. P.S. watch a game on t.v. and then play Nba Live 2004 then you see how unrealistic it really is … Expand
