The gameplay, which is the most important aspect of any sports game, is top notch and the best it has ever been. You have to work as a team and play as a team and not just try to do everything with Lebron or Durant.
   
   My Career is also better now to with a story now and its great to play in High School and College now to in my Career. If you want a very realistic bball game, pick this up asap! I think some people might be overwhelmed with just how realistic the gameplay is, but for sim buffs like me this is perfect. No more cheesy play like previous years where you could just shoot 3s or dunk most the time.
   
   Great job 2k, I have played all the games in the series over the years and this is hands down the best one yet. Runs well, handles well, top notch gameplay, good controls and has even more features. Best sports game of 2015 and the best bball game ever.… Expand

   Game is true Masterpiece.
   
   First of all, the unbelievable fact that the developers managed to capture a soul of something so complex as basketball and yet made it so simple.
   
   Don't get me wrong, simple is not same as easy.
   
   Game is really hard...and if you want to master it better be ready to sit down with your gamepad and learn for a long time.
   
   But this is the second great aspect of the game, bang for the buck.
   
   This is probably the only game I have ever played that gives you so much that even if it had 100$ price tag it would be worth it.
   
   And you can get this game for 5$ or less. Some even got it for free.
   
   Developers like this should get our support and I really hope that in this time when gaming industry is going in one bad direction...there will be developers like this to go the opposite way.
   
   Toward the consumers and not just profit.
   
   Won't say any more.
   
   You have to see it to believe it - try the game, give yourself some time to learn basics, go watch few videos on youtube...and spend a lot, and I mean a lot if time in the gym and practicing.
   
   Then, one day...you will get the "feel" for the game and understand it's awesome mechanics.
   
   It's all about the flow.
   
   Keep up 2K and thank you!… Expand

I'm a black man and compared to his guy seems like he is from the Cosby show. He's far from ghetto. Not to mention I grew up playing every game where I had to be a white guy, get over it. I hope non whites start complaining that other games make them be white. Why is Snake a Caucasian , GRR! Lol!!!… Expand

   Good solo modes (myleague, mygeneralmanager...)
   Horrible mycareer mode (story, customizations, player progression, all of it is utterly crap, I could not recommend purchase this game to belovers of the good old myplayers from past years... but still slighter better teammate I.A. than last year though)
   
   Gameplay is a very complicated matter... superb at times...at some things...incredibly infuriating at others...but not in the "good way" that characterize some of the best sport games. After major updates I'd say that the touchstone here is the defence...absolutely broken. Sadly there is no other way to say it (and, at this time of the year, I really, really doubt that somebody is working on it.
   
   But rejoice... is still better than nbalive... for the moment.... next year, with the continous decline of the gameplay balance and finesse... I don't know...… Expand

It's always been my favorite aspect, being able to make your own guy and take him through his career. Well, in this game, you can make your own guy in the physical aspects, but that's about as far as it goes. Because it all has to follow Spike Lee's story mode. Which is...awful. It's nothing but played-out, racial stereotypes, embarrassing dialogue, and an extremely predictable story.
   
   Who thought this type of a Story Mode was a good idea? We play these games because we like to have control of a character, and we like to play actual basketball simulation. Well, you don't get much character control in this one, except for raising your attributes (which takes forever). And between each game, you are expected to watch lengthy, boring cutscenes. You can skip them, but I mean...if you give the slightest bit of a care about the storyline, you'll be lost.
   
   I also don't understand why-- you start out as a star high school player. Then you go on to be a star college player. You can barely miss a shot. It feels like the previous NBA games, you have decent attributes and it's all based on your timing. Then you advance to become an NBA rookie, and...all of your stats basically reset themselves. Every game becomes a struggle, even on "Rookie" mode. And if you play a great game, you still only get enough points to level up a couple meager stats.
   
   If you aren't playing story mode, it's fine. The actual gameplay is great, no complaints there. But this whole story mode, even the idea to involve Spike Lee...it's all just a massive fumble.… Expand

It's fun and all but there are so many flaws. There are just tons of lags and if you play my career, you'll almost never get in the team you want and win the finals. They make the opponent nearly impossible to defeat and the teammates on your team extremely bad. A lot of times, I tried to do an alley oop and it just went out of bounds. Also your teammates make a ton of turnovers and it gets really annoying after shooting like 10 threes and only making 1.… Expand
