    I find it funny how someone like kingofgames can come on here and skew stats and give a game a poor grade when he has yet to even PLAY it. TheI find it funny how someone like kingofgames can come on here and skew stats and give a game a poor grade when he has yet to even PLAY it. The game is amazing, and may be my favorite so far. If you don't like it, don't buy it. But no one cares about your opinion enough to listen to you talk negatively about a game you yourself admit you havent played. Ridiculous.

    Get the game- if you like the 2k franchise, you'll thoroughly enjoy it.

The Orange Juice feature in MyCareer is awesome, plus you have more control over features than ever before, and there are added animations and improved graphics. The MyCareer dialogue is not corny like in previous years, and you actually have incentives to practice and play every game because it helps your player to improve. Full Review »
