Very surprised that no one has started a thread about this game - bought it last night for the 360 and played for about two hours. So far it has been incredible - my only gripe thus far? When Nash goes to the bench, he sits on the bench as opposed to laying on the floor.

Where's the realism there 2K sports? :doi:

I traded Hedo and a 1st for Jason Thompson. I was getting killed without having a decent true power forward on the team.

Yes. The game opens up with 1991 NBA Finals Bulls vs Lakers before even getting to the main screen. You control the Bulls by default.

From there if you go and beat the 10 Jordan challenges, you can unlock him and draft him to your team if you want.

I think the player ratings are a wack... at least for the suns. How does childress get a 77 and dragic only get a 68?

I hadn't played a basketball game since like NBA Live 01. Dont hardly play any games anymore so I decided to pick this one up. I really like it but I dont get the controls yet. Is there something special you need to do to dunk? Everytime I'm on a break I pass it to Richardson or Warrick going to the basket solo and when I push the button to shoot, they pull up for a jumper or they stop under the hoop and flip it in... I haven't been able to pull off a dunk or an alley oop yet, but I've only played like 4 games.

Sorry, bear with the noob gamer please.

You have to use the agressive button.. (R2 on PS3) when driving to the basket while pressing the shoot button..

BTW.. once you get the hang of it, its a really addicting bball game.. It flows smooth.. Closest to a real game I ever played..

Cool I will try it, (playing on PS3)

Thanks Gee!

PS this game is amazing. I haven't played one of these in a while but I'm surprised how far it's come. The Jordan Challenge modes are freaking awesome. You get to relive his greatest games, as him! lol

The injuries on this game on "Association" mode are stupid. I'm 12 games into the season and JRich is out 4-6 weeks with a broken wrist, Nash is out 2-4 weeks with a sprained ankle, Frye is out 4-6 weeks with a back injury, and Lopez is game to game with a back injury.

I'm all for realism but jeez, this is dumb. I just quit the last game I was playing when JRich got injured, lol. I just turned off injuries, I wanted to play with all the true simulation settings but that was excessive.
