Ordered off of Amazon earlier and with the Amazon Prime demo got 3.99 one day shipping. I'll have it tomorrow..I enjoyed what I played from it at Best Buy. Wish I would have just got it at Best Buy when I got NFS.

Got this the day it came out here in the UK, I am not really into basketball but this game takes me back to when i used to play it. Still so much fun and a great game to play when your more serious sports games are annoying you.

I usually play a couple of games a night, i am working my way through the campaign and i am very much enjoying it. The quotes from the commentator still bring a smile to my face.

The shove on the shot attempt was a defensive balance maneuver for smaller guards--it allowed you to play 2 small guys against big guys. In this game I feel like it's essential to have a competent big on the court in online games or you are screwed--basically making teams like Washington,Detroit, and even Oklahoma City worthless.

That really blows hard. Oh well, thanks for saving me $50+.

How are the Grizzlies in this game?

They are my home-state team.

Got the game for Christmas. Played some tonight and had a lot of fun. I'm not very good though.

Not being able to control the CPU Player once you pass it is terrible because as stated earlier the CPU teammate takes that extra second to shoot on the way down, so even if there is a slight opening it gets blocked.

Online is actually the best environment I've played EA wise. Never any lag or anything. I like the fact the games are short, so you can run 3-4 easy as long as there are players.

I am hearing that this is one of the best online sports games you can get. It is real tempting if this is the case.

It is but I have to be honest, there have been times where I can't find anyone to play against. Doesn't seem to be popular.

When you CAN play however, it's very very smooth.
