This game is clearly better than Live 10. That game had no fast breaks and was too PG heavy. It also tried to make stars out of some post guys like Omar Asik. This game the touches are distributed pretty well. It's very enjoyable. I get annoyed at people saying it's full of bugs because it's not true after the patches.

A fair criticism is about lack of support, roster edits, lack of online fatigue, nba live rewind and so many of those things should be easy fixes and instead they shoot themselves in the foot. Sliders do help with things although a few more would be nice for defence or style of play. My biggest beef is the lack of roster editing right now. I haven't started a franchise yet.

I heard Live is not going to get a good Black Friday sale. That would be a mistake. Get this game into peoples hands and start supporting it!
