-interaction with other online players in an open environment (builds and bonds the community)
-soundtrack is pretty decent nice mix of old school and new stuff
-AI defense is remarkable
-AI doesn't run out of bounds (an old bug)
-playing defense overall is much easier (you don't feel like you're on skates)
-controls are the same from last year
-court sounds come through your controller (nice effect)
-acting in mycareer is much better with genuine funny moments
Did I mention the graphics are amazing? The controls feel smooth and responsive similar to NBA Live in its glory years.



Cons
-new engine! Time to relearn everything...
-load times are laughably long, no improvements from last year
-game obviously wants you to buy VC more than ever leveling up is a grind!
-network errors galore and game freezing glitches (hope these get ironed out soon)
-micro transactions in sports games just sucks imo
-your mycareer player is GARBAGE you will get frustrated with the improved AI even on pro mode!

Not much else to say but BUY THIS GAME or GameFly it like I did
They have to change things around every year like they're "improving" things so you keep buying the game. They COULD make the perfect game, but then you would never buy it again. It's a never ending cycle.

-Improve A, mess up B.

-Next year, Leave A alone, fix B, mess up C.

-Next year, mess up A again, leave B alone, fix C.

-Repeat cycle
