    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Terrible game. The controls are ridiculously bad - EA have actually removed moves because they evidently couldn't figure out how to fit them in with the limited buttons on the wiimote, so now the computer can do spin moves etc and you can't. The controls are also very unresponsive, the camera angles are terrible, the go-to moves are tough to pull off. The controls are just so bad that you can't enjoy playing on any level.

    Jerky graphics that dont to have enough stages of animation, controls that are poorly thought out, it's hardly worth passing as it's so easy to just dribble straight though as many opponents as you want and go straight to the basket, but sadly when they get the ball, it's all but impossible to stop them without commiting a foul.

    One of the weakest sports games I've played on a modern console.

  • Worst EA Game ever played

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Lee Harvey from London , 17 Jun 2008
    I am an avid basketball fan and remeber the days of playing NBA Live on the Megadrive whilst spinning the players and flaming dunks to smashing the back board.

    Now I know that the days of unrealistic game play are gone and we are thrust into a world of reality and simulation game play..........or are we?

    EA have done nothing to impress me with this release the controls are almost non existant and the game is almost unplayable.

    The graphics are not too bad but it does not make up for the fact that I just end up waving my hands in all directions trying to steal the ball or block a shot.

    As for the multitude of dfifferent shots and dunks that the players should be able to perform it is lame to say the least and the action replays and camera shots are a joke.

    Seriously do not rent this dont waste your time. I put this game back in the post box and sent it on its merry way after 2 hours of game play.

    Waste of time.

  • Good But Hard Controls

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Rickmansworth , 26 Jan 2008
    Im not writing to say that it is a bad game because its not its just the controls are a bit hard i didnt get to find out what sprint was and i tried a lot of controls but when you get the hang of some controls it becomes quite a good game, but still controls like dunk, sprint, steal and a few more you cant find out and sadly these are key controls for this game. But like i said its not the worst game in the world i have 100% tried a lot worst games on Nintendo Wii.

    Thanks
