I was going to wait for the lockout to be lifted. Got to see the game in action today with a bud who got it early. Not sure I can even wait until Tuesday to get it now. Game is easily better than the last. Online Association has me foaming at the mouth.

I don't know how they do it, but it gets better every year. They did change how you call plays though...its no longer with the d-pad, but with L1. Even calling for pick and rolls is done with the L1 button. Gonna take some getting use to, but other than that another solid effort by 2k.

the game is very different, everyone needs to be aware of that. i mean you can still pick up and play, but most of how you do things has been slightly tweaked and they really emphasize getting open looks and defensively getting a hand in guys faces on shots.

i am still not 100% used to it, honestly didn't like it the first 10 games i played but i'm starting to get the hang of it and raelized that it was simply me sucking that i wasn't enjoying it cause the game is again an amazing product. just gotta learn the little tricks. can't bury jumpers in guys faces like you could in the past.
