My 2K11 Review

Where do I start? When i first popped the disk into my Xbox 360, it showed Michael Jordan in the tunnel preparing to enter the arena. Then he looked back and said, "are you ready?" He ran into the arena while his name was announced. He gave high-fives to his teammates and prepared for tipoff against the Los Angeles Lakers in game 1 of the 1991-92 Finals. I tipped the ball to the point guard, and of course, passed the ball to Jordan. After a bit of dribbling, I stopped for a shot right above the key; swish. After that shot, I proceeded to get my behind handed to me by the computer (CPU) controlled Lakers, because the gameplay was so different from 2K10. I cannot express how amazingly realistic the game is. It blew my mind how every single player and every single team plays EXACTLY as they do in real life. It is unreal how real it looks. This game, by far, is the most authentic sports simulation I have ever seen. I think i have been playing it now for two hours, and it only came out today. Forget Madden NFL 11 and FIFA 11, get NBA 2K11. The presentation of the game is so amazingly realistic, that while I was playing, my Dad came upstairs to tell me that dinner was ready, and asked me who the Celtics were playing today and started watching as I played. Unlike older NBA 2K games, the artificial intelligence of the CPU is very high. So if you make a careless pass, it will be stolen, and if you take a bad shot, it will be swatted away. The gameplay is so fluid that there are no pauses in between the player's motions. Every player in the game is exactly like the real player; from the way they dunk to their jump shot, and from their crossover move to their free throw shot. Everything imaginable about basketball is perfectly replicated in this game. It is the perfect sports simulation video game. I must be going to play more of the game. Until next time.
