This game is amazing and farr better than its competitors such as NBA Live 09 and NBA 09: The Life. The gameplay is the most realistic in terms of graphics, game tempo, & (best of all) the showcasing of trademark moves for certain superstars (i.e. Kobe, LeBron, D-Wade). My favorite feature of this game however, is the Dynasty Mode. With this feature, I was able to create up to four new players with my roomates, allowing us to all play together on the same team. Each of us were able to choose from a list of real players' shooting techniques, dribble moves, and dunk styles. For example, my guy had Kobe's shot, D-Wade's moves, and LeBron's dunk!...it was safe to say my guy was unstoppable! lol...but to get back on track, this game is just plain better overall than its competition. I've played both of the other two games and came to the comclusion that they were too arcade-like for me. I'm more into realistic games, so if EA Sports doesn't do something to fix this by the release of its next basketball title, I will remain a 2K Sports fan just like all of you!
