    This game is garbage. This may just be because I'm not into basketball games, but this game is just terrible. This game came in the drive of my 360 when I got it, so I played it, and it looked and played TERRIBLE. Slippery controls, and all sorts of other problems. I'd never played a basketball game up to this point, but I knew how basketball worked, but even so, I was COMPLETELY lost.This game is garbage.

This game was bad at the time, and it aged even worse. Don't buy. Expand

    2K6's biggest setback -- it doesn't have the instant visual appeal, next-gen look, or out-and-out raw emotion that gamers want to see in a next-gen sports game.

    A solid basketball title that really rests on the laurels of its predecessors. Even though the game can look absolutely amazing at time, it's still, at its heart, the same exact game that we saw in the current generation.
  3. NBA 2K6 looks fantastic if you have an HDTV, but the gameplay will seem familiar to you if you've played one of the other versions of the game already.
