This is one of the best games I've played in a long time, at this point I absolutely suck at it, but man it's fun. Great graphics & animation with tight controls. Plays like a dream with my Xbox controller. I was iffy about getting it since I got hosed by Sega Sports with their last PC baseball game where my gamepad didn't work at all.
The intro to the game's bad ass too, a lot of random players on the court shooting to Curtis Blow's "Basketball" song. Every time I load the game I seem to watch the whole thing. I'm amazed that this is only $30, it has a ton of features and great presentation, the play by play's not the same 20 lines repeated over and over. It also has a big tutorial section to teach you how to play, there are so many buttons and controls to learn it's kinda overwhelming. I don't think you could just pick this game up and play. A shame EA doesn't want to port the killer new NBA Jams to the PC - I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
I was curious to find out that EA apparently doesn't even make NBA Live! any more, shows how out of the sport game loop I am.
