The gameplay is definitely decent and visually appealing. Being someone in the military who is considered a casual player due to having responsibilities and not having the time to sit for hours perfecting my virtual reality jump shot, is ridiculous. The MyCareer mode ai doesn’t shoot open shots by controller commands but dribbles into contested shots, the delay in movement and slowness of every movement due to proplay realism kinda hinders the ability to go into a shot animation when the opportunity is there or drive. The canned animations on both sides of the court are identical to the last 2 NBA lives. There’s truthfully alot of great things to appreciate but adding more animations a the issues spoken above makes it tough to play when the time is available. The worst aspect is that 2k is the only company to provide a basketball game, mostly due to licensing and agreements with the NBA.
