I was kinda skeptical after I played the demo, but I never like playing the computer so I gave it chance. Game play is very slow online this year. Defense is a lot harder to play and fast breaks are a lot harder to come by. To say the least I am very disappointed with the game this year. I brought the game on release day with high hopes because of last years credentials but this game is NOT 2K9's relative. The UI is so confusing I had to read the instructions to find the lobby. There is no designated Online section. (Somethings should just stay the same) 2K servers have disappointed again also. I thought that after last years high demand they would upgrade but, again I was wrong. I would definitely take this game back if I could and I have owned the last 4 titles. I highly recommend a rental.
