This was absolutely the most frustrating game I have ever played. The graphics are great, don't get me wrong, but the controls and the silly things that your players will do with consistently were so aggravating. For one, every time a shot goes up, defensive rebounding is way too hard. Half the time your players will stand around dumbfounded and then maybe reach down and pick the ball up off the ground. On offense, players will occasionally just wander out of bounds if you are anywhere near the sidelines or baseline. And certainly don't assume that there is any realism to your players abilities. I was playing a friend, and Eric Snow of all people could drive and dunk every time he touched the ball, while Reggie Miller can't seem to be able to make a three to save his life. You tell me, is that realistic? Please rent this before you go out and buy it.
