I wish i could give this game 0 stars. By far the worst sports game I've ever played, and I've played a lot. I play 2k primarily for the MyTeam mode. Jumpers are nearly impossible to make. If there is a defender within 10 feet of you, just forget about it. Your only hope of scoring is in the paint (hope you've got a good big man). It takes the fun out of the game. This is the first video game I ever preordered. I got the Mamba forever edition and was excited to start the MyTeam mode with Kobe. But I can't hit a jumper with him so it sucks the fun and excitement right out of it. I feel like I've wasted $100. Did anyone test this game before it was released? Doesn't seem like it. They would have realized how bad it is within 5 minutes of playing. Cash grab for sure. They just slapped Kobe's name on it and raked in the money. This is the last 2k game i will ever buy. Huge disappointment is an understatement.
