I've only played it a couple of times so far. As I read in others' reviews, the gameplay feels very different than past years. It is less of an "arcade" style basketball game, because you can't make careless passes and expect to get away with it. Offensively, you can't just muscle your way into a basket. It requires more strategy to score. The good thing is that it is NOT made by EA, therefore the online play is completely free and doesn't require an online pass. This means if you buy it used, you won't be missing out. Online servers were still up as of March 2012. The second time I played this game, I played against an opponent online. I'm by no means great, but I have had NBA 2K8, 2K9, 2K10, and 2K11, so I know how the game works. The opponent held me to 0 points in the 3rd quarter, and 2 in the 4th. You really have to know what you're doing to succeed. P.S. If you're a Jeremy Lin fan, he's in the game, but I can't figure out how to play with him on a quick game with Golden State, so he's not apart of the normal rotation.Read full review
This is a very good sports video game. It has very quality graphics and player designs are very good. The best part about this game by far is the inclusion of Michael Jordan and all of the teams he had career moments against. Also, 10 of his most famous moments are recreated and playable. Moments include the "Sick Game" against the Utah Jazz, when Jordan was sick with the flu and still lead the Bulls to a major win. Also, the "Shoulder Shrug" game is recreated. In these games, the player plays against the actual teams Jordan played against. Players like John Stockton, Karl Malone, Clyde Drexler, and James Worthy are included and help make the games very fun and realistic. This game is recommended for any classic basketball fan and for people who love a good sports game.
Definitely one of the greatest NBA 2k series yet. When I first started playing this game I knew right away that i would be playing it for a quite some time. With the various new features added such as the Jordan challenges, the new features in the create a player mode, and so much more. I would HIGHLY recommend that this game becomes a part of your video game collection. Regardless of NBA 2K12 being out, I still go back to this game, just to even play the NBA blacktop games, slam dunk contest, and the legend mode.
Best game ever.... Full recomended!!!! This is a awesome game. It has great graphics and it is easy to use. You can use the basic controls if you are just starting and as you get better you can use the advanced controls for cool moves. Also, this game as many different game modes like season, my player, quick game, and you can also play as Michael Jordan in some of his famous games. I would definitely recommend this game.

On Tuesday, October 5, 2010 2K Sports has decided to release the BEST Basketball video game EVER, with the greatest basketball player of ALL-TIME. When I first heard that Michael Jeffrey Jordan was going to be on the cover of NBA 2K11, I thought to myself "This will be the best NBA Video Game and Basketball Video Game EVER!!!" But, when I popped in the game on my PS3 several days after Christmas, I knew that I would be right. NBA 2K11 lives up to its' name, due to award-winning gameplay, graphics, sound and also you can not forget about the Jordan Challenges. Sure, they are very difficult, but once you get the hang of it, you will master them in no time. Also, what I liked about 2K11 is that not only they feature the classic Chicago Bulls teams, but also the opportunity to play as other classic teams, such as the '86 Celtics, '90 Pistons, '91 Lakers, '95 Knicks, '96 SuperSonics and '97 and '98 Utah Jazz. I haven't tried My Player Mode yet, but from what I heard it is awesome. I hope 2K12 can top that, since EA isn't going to come out with another basketball game in a year or so.Read full review
This is byfar the greatest basketball game to hit the Earth. The graphics are unbelievable, and all of the Michael Jordan challenges are an absolute enjoyment to play. This game has great play-by-play announcement, up-to-date rosters and even all of the old Chicago Bulls rosters (Yep...Dennis Rodman is in this game!). I can't stop playing the Jordan Challenges. I love the play-by-play in these games, because they actually say things that refer to the year of each Jordan Challenge (i.e.: Against the Lakers in the NBA Finals, announcers give out Scottie Pippen's stats in the round before the Finals and mention things about what Jordan had accomplished that season). All of the new logos and arena designs for each team have been updated. The music is awesome and this game gets 10 out of 10 from me. I may be biased because I but NBA2k every year, but this is definitely a notch above the rest! :)Read full review

Ok, if you were an NBA fan in the 90s, like me, this game would be great to relive some of those memories involving his airness. Honestly, I haven't bought an nba video game since 2004 but this was a must have purchase! You have to complete 10 challenges in the Jordan challenge. It's not easily attainable but it is fun. Some other things I like is that you can use your own music in the game. Just for nostalgia, I decided to use the NBA on NBC theme for the halftime segment.I could go on and on but I may end up writing an essay lol. It's that good. I just got this game so there's still more to explore in this game. But so far, it looks like it will be considered a classic. Even IGN gave it a 9.5. That's unheard of for a simulated basketball video game.
Its a great pleasure to get a basketball game which shows the greatest of His Airness...MJ! The game is realistic to the core and always seems to amaze and challenge me. It took me at least 10-15 games to finally win a game :O!! I'm new to the 2K series and I'm very impressed! Big up to 2K!!! Coming from EA to 2K; there was an extremely steep learning curve and NBA 2K11 gave me the spanking of my life. The new isomotion was a pleasure learning and its great when you do because the game goes to a whole new level. Pros: Everything; from game play to online play its the best basketball sim. Cons: Can't find anything yet...
