I don't say this often but NBA 2K11 is worth by, just to play Jordan. The graphics are top level and the light rendering makes it seem more like a real game. I highly recommend playing/buying this one. I don't buy the sports games because they out dated so quickly but this one I'm keeping in my collection because it's replay value is excellent much like John Madden.

I think that NBA 2k11 is the best basketball game to have come out, although I think that some of the older players point rankings are lower than what they should be. Take Bird in '86 when he was at the prime of his career. He's ranked at 96. Seriously? Maybe I don't have a problem with it being 96, but when you have BOTH D-wade and Lebron at 97 for this current season, it just seems too low. Same with Magic, and although I realize they are basing it on him being at the end of his career in '91, I still think he should have been higher. Same goes for Malone, Stockton, Pippen, etc. Even on the '96 Bulls, they have Kukoc in the 70s if I recall. Thats insane. Anyone who saw that team day in and day out, would have Kukoc in the high 80s at a minimum. He was so underrated because he was on a team where he was pushed to 6th man (winning it in 95-96)

There's an option to have the success of shots determined solely by player ratings, rather than by anything you as a user do with the shot stick (with the release timing, at least; shot selection and whatnot still obviously matters).

Good catch with NBA Street, I added it to the list.

Michael Jordan was also in NBA Street Volume 2, and possibly a couple other games, I thought.

2K can use a ton of work in the customization department, because now I want to recreate other old teams, but there is a limit of 150 created players, and things like socks, headbands, goggles, and shorts aren't editable. Still, Jordan Challenge and My Player has kept me occupied until I can find some time to overhaul the roster and start my Association. A lot of features, just as last year. I'm looking forward to seeing if they made any changes to The Association, which is really a fun GM mode.

I didn't know basketball games did that. I would buy the game just to play ref, if that was an option.

Online ranked and unranked play isn't too bad, although the timing on jumpers is difficult to get right (then again, timing shot releases is frustrating even in local play). I'd say the biggest problems come when you try to play the 10-player "Team Up" mode. It's tough to find people to play with and the action struggles to stay smooth & in sync.

I was on vacation at a buddy's and we rented this game. It was the first NBA game I'd played since 2001, and the difficulty knocked my socks off. We realized pretty quick that even if we took the full weekend to try to get a handle on it we wouldn't get any good. So we just went outside and played some actual basketball. I am thinking of buying it though and sinking some hours into it. How is the online play?
