Love the NBA 2K Series. Played a season on 2K9. I was amazed at the terrible, game breaking slow-down on this year's version. The first game I played, it wasn't very prevalent, but the second game was hamstrung by slow motion every time the ball got near each basket. Luckily most of the action in the NBA takes place around mid-court. I'm curious as to how a game could ship in this day and age with such a game breaking flaw.
Everything else in the game seems right. Presentation and graphics are up to par. Maybe the issue was isolated, but I doubt it, and it made my gameplay experience so awful, that I honestly don't feel like wasting my time giving it another try,
Don't buy, don't rent, don't even consider this game on XBOX 360. Even if they can somehow patch this MAJOR issue, its not worth supporting cash grabbing developers who think they can get away with shipping such a broken game. Maybe if you have room on your HD to install the game, but still, that shouldn't be the solution. When a console game goes gold, it should be playable on any version of the console you might have. This game is not.
2 out of 10 for 2K games shipping a game that doesn't play right.
