    The game may not be completely up to par with the competition in other areas, but the career mode is definitely the best to have.

    Factor in the ability to play the Summer Leagues and NBDL, and the game's shortcomings seem minimal.

    989 Sports has created their most impressive sports title in a very long time.

Only basketball game on the market sans a franchise mode. Like telling your 5 yr old son to go mow the lawn when everyone else's teenagers are out doing it. That's what I think of career mode. It's pathetic having a game in this age where you cannot control rosters, only the fortunes of one player. Career mode is vastly overrated.
