5.0 out of 5 stars
I have been a 2k player for many years, I first started playing since 2K5 which was a great game as well. The last two years of NBA 2K have not been anything special, 2K10 felt like a minor leap over 2K9. However that is not the case this year, this game feels like a MAJOR leap over the previous games in the series, which I think most people didn't even think was possible.
Graphics: Awesome, don't look at the gameplay videos, that tells a completely different story. When you actually play this game and look at it, the motions are amazing, particularly how the great the equipment on the players move when the characters run down the court. The facial expressions are also amazing, and give you an amazing feeling during highlights. Also the skin tones and the Tattoos all look good, and are placed in the right spot.The only knock on the graphics that I can say is how some of the characters have an unnatural look to them (Jermaine Oneal, Larry Bird, and even Kobe to some extents look weird). The UI and the menu system is very nice though, something 2K games have always been good at. The courts are also done in amazing detail and look good down to the last piece of hardwood floor. There is so much more to be said about the graphics, but its hard to sum it all up, the graphics all around are good I would rate them an 8 out of 10 definitely the best looking in the series.
Sound: The sound is solid, the court sounds sound legit, the way the shoes sound during a quick stop and the way the ball sounds as your are dribbling and how it sounds when it goes in the net is perfect. The soundtrack for this game is very good, its definitely improving over the previous years versions and the best so far. You got Snoop, Drake, Big Boi, Cassidy, Kid Cudi, and even Ron Artest (lol). The sound is great, and the play by play is truly amazing. You really think you are watching the game, 2K has always been strong here after playing a couple of matches, I rarely heard the same things said in different games during pick up games, which is amazing. The announcers always have an amazing way in season mode/My Player mode of talking about when the season is coming to an end, and what place your current team is at in their conference which is amazing. They certainly put a lot of time and effort in the play by play which makes the ambience much better.
Controls: Not a lot to say here, in one word it's great. If you have used the 2K controls before it will be like second nature here, its very easy for even beginners to pick up and play. After one full match from the beginning to end, you will already have a strong grasp on the controllers. So just solid here, and still one of the best things about 2K basketball games.
Gameplay: A game changer, everything feels like its been improved from before. They still have all the legitimate traits of older games before this one. Lebron shoots like lebron, he has his signature shot, and his signature blocks, its scarily realistic with how they made so many players play like themselves. Tons of research had to go in for it to be this accurate. The new thing for this year is the jordan challenges. Believe it or not, this pays homage to the older 2K games. If you play NFL 2K5 (Rip) they had a mode where you can go back and play legendary games and win these game and do what those teams have done. Well, its back now, and you get to use all the amazing Bulls teams from 90's with Jordan. they also recreated all the rosters so that it is the same roster as jordan was with and the teams that he played against. So the challenges are like score 63+, plays his flu game, etc. Its really an amazing thing that they created here for the greatest basketball player of all time. The My Player mode is truly amazing, you start as basically a nobody, you create your character and when you are all finished you choose what kind of player you would like to be (scoring, passing, defensive, etc.) once you do that it assigns point to your player that can be used to build different stats. You start out in the draft combine, be impressive and you get drafted once you do, you start competing in the summer league. From there, now you are fighting for a roster spot, its really amazing and actually shows you the process of what these players have to do when they are coming to the NBA, amazing. Online, I have played about 5 games, and I have to say that its been great! No lag, and there has been no server problems which have been a huge knock on 2K basketball games online, it's looking good so far however.
EDIT 11/26/2010: Yep decided to edit this one, bought it since launch and I am still playing it even now, on black friday and also a month and a half after its release. The rating would not change at all this truly is an amazing game, you must try it for yourself!
Overall: IGN called this game one of the greatest sports games of our generation, and they are right. Nothing really quite matches everything it offers. If you play this game online and offline, you can easily surpass over 100 hours of gameplay before you know it. Throw in Jordan challenges, My player mode, and online in general, and you have a deep game with more to come back to each time you turn it on, THIS is what 2K basketball is all about.

Growing up I had the newest basketball game every year. Starting with Bulls V Blazers 92 playoffs game for SNES. You could play with Jordan in that game and it was great! I grew up a Bulls fan and followed them avidly.
NBA 2k11 helps Bulls fans, Jordan fans, and basketball fans, relive some of Jordan's greatest moments. You can also play with various Bulls teams, Lakers teams, Knicks teams, and other Jordan foes.
The gameplay is tightened and the graphics are jawdropping. Sure, there are a few glitches, but nothing that you wouldn't see in any sports game. Every player plays the way he does in real life.
The game mode where you create a player and get him to the NBA still takes way too long and still sucks. But if you bought the game for that then you're missing out on all of the rest of the good stuff. I highly recommend buying this game and you will NOT be disappointed!!

I bought this game because I knew the price of it would drop since NBA2k12 was out. Before I bought this game I had played it at friends houses and they all enjoyed it, I didn't at the time because I was not good at it. After playing this game I must say, this is by far the Best Basketball Game Ever. I will not go on any deeper into the game because it is "old" now and anyone who is reading reviews on this game now probably has a pretty good idea of the what the game is about it and how highly touted this game is. Nonetheless this was a great buy to me. ******Also since the NBA is currently in a lockout, NBA 2k12 rosters are the same NBA2k11s updated rosters, so this is just as good as NBA 2k12 (maybe even better), which I eventually bought.
Pros
*Great Mechanics
*Great Presentation
*Beautiful Graphics
*Sound builds NBA and Playoff Atmosphere Perfectly
Cons
* No Cons Great Game
******* SIDE NOTE: The depth of this game can be unbearable if you playing against and experienced player. There is slightly deep learning curve to this game. The difference between this game and NBA2k10 is like water and wine.
