Best and most realistic 2K game to date.
I'm playing on default and have no desire to seek out sliders. It plays that well. I have games where I get into an offensive rhythm and i'm really feeling it, and then I have games where I can't get anything going and struggle to score. And I love it.
I haven't really found that many plays that I like compared to previous years, so i'm using a lot of basic pick & roll, iso's, and throwing it down to the post. Unlike previous years where it was really hard to score if you didn't run plays, you can create scoring opportunities if you find mismatches and play smart.
I have two minor complaints:
-CPU will still fast break you to death and get a million run off dunks off misses & TO's, to the point you are powerless, and then cut off your breaks with their super catch up speed.
-It's hard to block shots.
-I guess this is a third complaint, but the CPU still doesn't take enough three's. They take more than last year, though.
These complaints are minor, and like I said I haven't touched a single slider yet. This is the most playable & realistic sports game out of the box in a long, long time.
