    This year's game clears up almost any blemishes that may have carried over through the years, and perfects the package in a way that blew my socks off.

    I'm a hardcore basketball fan, so 2K6 had me immersed immediately. The upgraded graphics help, but it's the ingenious shot stick that really dominates the feel of the game.

    NBA 2K6 remains unbeatable. The competition doesn't even come close to touching this release. [Nov 2005, p.143]

    I personally feel the control changes and tuning made 2k6 even worse this year. 2k3 was the top of their form and now it's all just show.
