So, with all these basketball action these days, between European F4 and the very interesting NBA Playoffs, I got the urge to play a basketball game, so I remembered NBA 2k11 that I haven't been playing for some months now. I also remembered how awesome this game is! I know it's been like a year after its release but I don't care :P
It's not only about the near-perfect grafics, both stadium and models, it's not only about the sound which is extremely realistic (i onced started playing while i left an NBA stream playing in the background, I couldn't figure which was the real one), it's not only about the terrific detail on every players moves and styl and also on every teams playbook that looks like the real deal, it's not only about the thrill of playing like MJ on his Challenges. What makes this game great is the gameplay (as usual) how realistically it plays! It's how polished it is in every aspect (ok, some bugs as usual, but less than previous games on the series). It's the depth it has especially on Association mode, but also the fun you have on My Player, how clever it's structured. Probably one of the best sports games I've ever played (given I'm European and I play only Football and Basketball games :P ) Damn I love this game!
Great great great, I hope Konami could make PES that polished with a single player mode as deep as the Association, oh well, I can only hope.
9/10
