Playable game.
I've been playing this game since it came out. There are a couple of things that I like and dislike.
Things I dislike:
Their response to our controllers can be frustrated and slow. When you want to press a shooting button or stick, sometimes you get stuck and not shoot at all... maybe a little pump fake. It just drives me crazy sometimes when they passed me the ball and it went over my head or cause me to be off-balance when I had a chance to shoot the three-pointer. I caught the ball sometimes and wanted to shoot before the defenders catch up but it turns out sometimes I press a shooting button/stick and it wouldn't shoot fully or mess up my timing. The dribbling technique isn't very good... if you control the dribbles very well, it can be good, sometimes even amazing moves. It just depends on how good you control it.
Things I like:
Their statistic features are pretty awesome, very precise. Many people like the numbers so if you like to impress your numbers to your friends online or in "My Player" mode/The Association, this game is for you. I like playing the association and my player. Sometimes, my player can be annoying when your CPU teammates wouldn't pass you while you're wide open outside... I just wish they wouldn't use a player lock in that mode. I hope in the NBA 2k12, they would remove the player locks and let a player control everybody on his/her team so it wouldn't be so boring.
I like this game... it's fun to play and it's relaxing for me.
