Billups guarding Shaq or something ridiculous like that. On defense if you run by a player you're not guarding the AI will automatically call a switch for you leaving C.
I seldom can justify buying a game at full price but for this one I can say it was worth it.Ĭons: Incredibly annoying AI. Lots of cool plays, nice practice mode, fun "street ball" side games. First PC sports game I've seen that uses next gen graphics. Overall Review: other than the steam thing, this is a great game for the basketball lover. Also, it was confusing at first, but there is no serial code to activate it - it's not required. It requires installation and registration of steam (you can't get around it), which is some online platform to buy more games.

It updates the roster and a few bugs.Ĭons: install process is odd. Once you install it, you have to wait until it downloads a huge patch automatically.
Overall, if you're open, you can make it, if you're forcing it, you can't (unless you're a superstar). They computer's AI is pretty smart, and finds the open person if you cheat and double team, at which they usually make the shot. Game play is realistic - no "ice skating effect" like NBA live of few years go, and rebounds and passes are realistic. Even their free throw patterns are done correctly. Originally, my video card could not handle it, but now with this card (SAPPHIRE 100255L Radeon HD 4670 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express) I'm fine.Ĭan't believe how realistic it is - down to each players shot, and how they move. Pros: I'm not a gamer, but at $20, I had to buy this game.
