    This game is by far the best basketball game I have ever played on any game system. I was very impressed by all aspects of the game. Graphics, Controls, Variety, Music, classic players and teams, etc. It's hard to point out any "flaws" but I would call them "wishes" for the future. I would like to be able to unlock the regular, adult, explicit lyrics for the songs and I would love to see a NCAA version of this game.… Expand

    I own NBA 2k11 on the PS3, but I like this one a lot better. I love being able to play on the GamePad while my wife watches American idol and I love being able to call plays with the touch screen. I love it.

    This game is an 8 something by itself on all three platforms. It's no different graphically on the Wii U. But being able to play it on the controller is awesome and gets it at least a nine in my book.

    The GamePad features are interesting but the iffy frame rate cancels them out. [Apr 2013, p.86]

    This Wii U iteration does not bring anything particularly special to the table, but any fans of the sport that do dive in will be treated to a superbly impressive, and accurate, simulation of the popular pastime.

    A fantastically well put-together game hamstrung only by the inherent limitations of the sport itself. No other Wii U title offers such great value for money.
