I bought this game as soon as it came out because I enjoyed the past games so much. Unfortunately, I found this one to be awful. It is SO damn hard to do anything fun. I fell like I have to do a Mortal Kombat combo just to make my guys do something cool and that takes all the fun out of the game. I used to love using one button and a direction and that was all. Also, and I don't know if anyone has seen this, the guys seem just a tad to big for the floor (as in they are not scaled correctly).

I thought it had so much promise but I just can't stand it and I'm a jock too. Played BBall all throughout high school and still play in a league. I would say rent it first...then see if you can get through all the BS.
