At its heart, it's a realistic basketball game that tries to be an arcade game. If Tecmo stuck with their roots and made it the game an actual arcade style b-ball game a la Tecmo Bowl, NBA Unrivaled would have been awesome but with stiff gameplay and wonky AI, the only thing good about this game is the way it looks.
-
For the high price mark of $15 you're just not getting enough. The gameplay is good when played correctly, but that same lack of lenience in play style is also a deficiency. Most players will not be able to find enough value to make it worth their purchase.

X-ONE Magazine UKAt a whopping price, this is one game worth missing out on. [Issue#54, p.105]
-
There’s a reason why there’s only twelve people currently on the leaderboards for NBA Unrivaled and that is that this is one of the worst Xbox Live games released in recent memory.
-
On top of being a ludicrously bad representation of the sport, NBA Unrivaled looks absolutely awful.
-
NBA Unrivaled is one of the worst basketball games ever made.
-
An unmitigated disaster.

-
A game that rips off NBA Jam so deeply and soullessly.
