I don't know what game those of you who are saying it's a great game have been playing. This is the worst 2k basketball game to date and I've literally owned every one of them. It doesn't play smoother in the slightest. On defense you cannot defend anyone even the lowlifes of the league. Double teams are broken and it seems I'm double teamed no matter Wich player I am using. The pick and roll system is a joke. AI players act like they don't even know your setting a pick for them. And the picks they set for you are horrible to say the least. The movement of the players is also the worst I've seen to date. Over exaggerating every movement you make even the slightest movements. The progression system on my career is a joke too. You are limited and held to a specific type of player instead of getting to become an all around great. I hope they fix it or it'll go unplayed and I hate that I won't get to play this season.
