Remember NBA2K11? Today, we're taking a look back at it to understand why so many regard it as the greatest 2K of all time. There have been some good ones after this, but I still think this one is king. - กีฬา
So pissed 2K17 didn't have a Kobe challenge... 82 point game, 62 in 3 quarters outscoring the entire Mavericks team, 60 points in his last ever game, etc... Also really miss the Creating a Legend Mode
King Jay like the Stevie wonder profile pic
banditman1986 Thanks :]
King Jay man bro they disrespected him so much but LeBron was able to get his own mode smh I really thought 2K17 was goin to be more Kobe related
2k needs to bring the wilt chamberlain challenge
King Jay creating a legend was my shit if I could do it now I would probably use Seth curry or zach lavine or devin booker
2K11 was my first 2K ever, and I still play it. Respect!
ZMR33 me too
ZMR33 Mines too I use to be so smart playing against others in the passing lane on defense
I used to be terrible at the game lol. But I got a little better as I played the game more. 2K11, in my opinion, is also the 2K game with the least cheese.
ZMR33 first 3k game too
2k
NBA 2k11 was so good...
That the NBA live series was canceled for 3 years lol 😂
shaserdeses 😂💯
LOL😂😂😂
*4
And 2k12
2K should remaster 2K11, imagine every little thing that game has and even the big things that it have and they will improve the movements, animations and make it more realistic! That will be the goat of the goat nba 2k haha!
Joshua Beldad as long as they keep vc out of it lol.
and bring back the 2K11 crew mode!
I like it the way it is. Wish u could have your own shoe instead of only in my player mode
2k23
I played 2k11 which was when i got into basketball. So many nights where i stayed up late and saw the sun rising up already lmfao
same bro same
Same!
shit bro i still do it lmao
I still play my association! I love nba 2k11! It's also amazing the face of Jordan looks better on 2k11 then it does on any of the next gen games.
VinBones OMG SAME
This game was also one of the greatest because if you was not good you didn't make it on the team... you went to the d league and that's what they should of brought back to 2k17 because some people just suck and they still get drafted high. They should go to the d league if they're not good enough
I forgot about that D-League
Wait Did 2K11 Have A D-League Option I Think It Did
yes it did have a d league options, also if you started to do really bad after you were drafted to an nba team, they would send you back to the d league
my first try in my carrer was so bad that I was send to D-League (something weird at the time because I didn't even know that exist), and later on in the NBA, and it was great (sure, at first I was upset and furious, but when I try a couple of games, I was doing better, and, actually, enjoyed)
Thank you I've always said 2k11 had the best looking Jordan. It was perfect. I never had so much fun with a basketball game like I had with 2k11.
I Was In The Game But As A Hidden Rookie I Think I Was An 93 Overall Or Is It 95 Overall
yeah 2k11 will always have a special place in my heart, my first 2k game
David Same
Still the best in 2018!
We will never get another 2k like 2k11 again
Derrick rose is stil elite in 2k11 that should enough ._.
2k11 Remastered! Should be a thought.👍
That would be amazing
G Butler facts!!!
Never seen a remastered sports game though, as far as I know. Don't really see the point.
the nostalgia is real when watching this vid
Atomic Void go to the 2k11 soundtrack playlist on ytube
Atomic Void I miss the PS3/Xbox 360 era
THE SOUNDTRACK!!
Darrel Be whats the name?
2k11 was my first 2k and it's still so fun
i can't even tell you how much time i put into mycarreer in 2k 10, and when i finally got to the nba from the d league omg i was so fucking happy. Back then you had to fucking work for it it made it feel realistic lol
2k17 you end up as a lottery even if ur not that good, 2k11 punished you for being trash lol
SoosUnknown i thought that was only on the first game but then on the second game it mattered
SoosUnknown struggle was to reall for 2k11 it made it fun. and WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HIGHLIGJT REELS
Rickytheshoemaker Facts
tru but ion no bruh...it wasn't that hard to get drafted...u must have been a lil garbage at first with ur myPlayer in college ..
2k11 was my first 2k game and by far my favorite
Generic Asian Guy same I will always remember that game
Foobymeister NBA 2k is boss
KingZam you poor soul. 2k12 is one of the worst IMO
2k3 was mine on ps2 but i got it in 2006 lol
Generic Asian Guy same
I remember when I was 8 years old playing this game every summer night having so much fun by myself brings so many memories... I miss it :(
got dis bitch christmas 2010 when i was in second grade i played tf out dis when i was 8 too
I agree 2k11 was the GOAT. I also think that gaming in general was better when it was ps2-ps3 generation. Not saying that today's gaming gen. is bad, it's just that gaming back then had a better feel than today imo.
zxcc today gaming gen is horrible no more free online and it’s just boring now
is it because its a finished game rather than game breaking updates and added bugs on top of bug fixes
This game bring back so many memories , I remember at my friend house playing with the bulls and he had the Celtics. Just popping the game in seeing rhe intro and dirk in the main menu after him winning his ring. So much nostalgia. 2011 had so many good things. Wrestling was good. Tv was better. Friends was closer and Even music 😭
You must be 13 years old if you are saying that but 2011.
Chris56076 makes me wanna cry man
the soundtrack is the best part
to bring back memories
wrestling sucked 2011 tv was on the edge of death but it was a good year because everyone was still young and getting used to being out the 00s era
2k11 was the first my career game and I loved it so much... I played it so much... I remember the Jordan challenges too omg love that game
CalfonZ 2k 10 was but the game is great
CalfonZ sub me bro
CalfonZ 2K10 had MYCareer/my player first
#1 hands down was the controls! it was the most responsive, difficult yet simple control set up to date. that's why it was such a good game because the game did exactly what you wanted to do defensively, ball handling, finishing and post game
Dude hell yeah. I was also in 10th grade when 2K11 came out. Got it right after release and it was my favorite 2K to date, played the heck out of association mode. (2k17 is my first real online 2k though and I am loving it)
J Money same
J Money I was in the 8th grade
J Money jeremiah mack
On 2k13 I remember playing with Allen Iverson in Create a legend mode exposing every body who guarded me lol
Trevon Nealy same 😂
Trevon Nealy 2k13 was animation galore
Trevon Nealy sub me bro
Trevon Nealy I had Willis Reed and I was a BEAST bruh lol
Ron Artest champion was an awesome song
BosnianSkilla song was trash
+Steph Curry The G.O.A.T wild
BosnianSkilla Over - Drake
Zeranvor yea that was good 2
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T well 52 other people agree with me
Who's still playing 2k11 and watching this in 2019
john&kerrie yates only Xbox 360 title I still own. I have a 360 just to play this game.
Me
Me!
Me
me
I still play 2k11 today on my Xbox 360 honestly one of my favorite games of all time
2k11 gave me so many memorable moments it had the best soundtrack,I had the most realistic career on mycareer and spent three years still playing it. I had to work for everything it felt like and I loved it.
HeyZeus Too sub me bro
Mgeezie80Gaming TV you dont have anything cool on your channel
i felt the same with 2k13 dont judge me but i still play that shit sometimes cause i spent 6 seasons playing for the Philadelphia 76ers am a sg sf and my dude 6'7 it was also the last thing that my grandma got for me before she died in a car accident matter of fact if i my memory right i was the 15 pick in the first round cause i was drafted to the 76ers and i won 5 nba championships with them it'll be 6 once i finish the regular season am close too
Jay Money my first myplayer was on 2k11 and he was a 6'7 pf lol i was drafted to the wizards i stayed a year with them then went to the nuggets my next season then my third season went to the pistons and finally got a ring. the fourth and final season i signed with the heat because the pistons were getting old and i was in my prime. i could go on about how realistic my player's career was man. i went as far to right down all his stuff down in a notebook to recreate him and all my other myplayers one day lol.
HeyZeus Too me to I had such great memories
I played 2k11 for 2 years until it froze and never passed the loading screen. rip
Noah Rogers That shit happened to me. I had to delete my game data utility and it started working again. It'll happen again, you just gotta delete the game data utility. I was pissed the 1st time. It took me 2 days to figure it out. My mom looked it up online for me.
Same here
me too.
when I loaded that Madden 25, it never played again.
I still got this game
Me too I play the hell out of it
2k8 was pretty nice I still play it when I get pissed off at 2k17
Do the same thing just times travel back to 2k13
Agreed 100 percent
8, 9, 10, 11 were what put Live out of business. Hasn’t been the same since. 11 is by far the best sports game all time
1.2k11
2.2k13
3.2k16
That's the top 3for me
kinhoi wong agree
kinhoi wong
1. 2k11
2. 2k13
3. 2k15
Swap 2K13 to 3. and 2k16 to 2. Then you are done
M W Blocked shots don’t exist in 2k13 so it’s 💩 to me. 2k11 and 2k16 were the best 2k’s
@Mr Clean So i guess you haven't played any other 2k games then
Back when 2k wasn't greedy. My favourite was 2k12 simply because it was my first 2k.
TDOT RTZ 2k13 was my first, that game was lit to
TheGamingPanda 23 same
I was 10 when I first played a 2k game. I thought it was fire but now I realize how trash 2k13 was
same
My was 2k13 and I LOVE 2K13 that what got to basketball and 2k
2k11 is the greatest basketball game of all time Idc what nobody has to say it had the best feel the gameplay was amazing I loved the spin dunks hop dunks everything about the game felt smooth, and let's not forget the introduction of Jordan and the classic bulls teams and the Jordan Challenge
Nba2k11: best basketball game
Nba2k12 speed was shit
Nba2k13 you couldn't block shots
Nba2k14 next gen my park was lit and better graphics than 2k15 and 16
Nba2k15 was ight
Nba2k16 shit servers
Nba2k17 don't want to talk about it
giovanni cisneros 2k14 sucked
Trane SFC it was better on PS3.
giovanni cisneros there's nothing wrong w 2k17
I think 2k13 was the best
giovanni cisneros hey dumb ass is they didn't improve those problems in the preceding games that means they were in 2k11
thank you for this tribute!
I really agree with you that game is still my favourite
you just took me baaaaaaaaaaack fam.. damn
Ratio
2k has taken out random features for no reason
Joel Zymanski and the my completely f**** up the timeout interface and ranked match selection .2k17 is complete trash now .It was fun at lunch but with all the patches and tweaks its bad now like unplayable bad
Miltonman100 yeah the timeout menu is garbage
i disagree when it first came out it was terrible until patch 1 came out, then other patches made it horrible.
Joel Zymanski Theres a reason, they take cool features out the game so they can later add it back in to recycle when they run dry on ideas. I 100% gurantee you thats why.
They do it so they can add them back in a few years later and advertise them as new features.
its 2022 and I still play it. Michael Jordan Challenge Mode is fire !
Man it’s crazy I’ve been watching you since 2016 and To see the development in yo vids man can’t wait for u to hit a million!!
2K11 will always bet the greatest ever even when other 2ks come out
13 was second best
Lil Brick Boom didnt expect to see u in this comment section
Lil Brick Boom facts b
Nigga u everywhere
Jesus loves you
i remember that code to play with jordan in create a legend
icanbe23
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂🐐
PJrackmack J.R DEADASS LMAOOO
I loved that shit
i know
PJrackmack J.R yeah haha
i agree i always tell this to my friends and family! That cover really spoke legendary! This is the best 2k period!
Man talk about a Nostalgic overload .. This game came out a few months after I graduated high school so I got to really enjoy it since I didn't have class every single day..you were really on point with the soundtrack!!
2k11 and 2k12 were pretty good. I miss having a D-League and actually developing players.
2k9 was super lit
you was able to do streetball moves on the blacktop
AfroDaMan u can do that now
AfroDaMan right and good soundtrack
Fufu Darkskin no you cant in 2k9 you could throw the ball off of someones head or throw the ball between their legs or spin on the floor and then throw a lob
2k9 was my shit
AfroDaMan 2k10 could also
That was an impressive video. I especially agree with the balanced gameplay and the soundtrack.
anyone else notice the Chris Smoove gameplay lol
LOL This Dude Stole Chris Smoove's Gameplay
@@futuregohan4837 he said he didn’t play that game mode but Jesus loves you
Today we're taking a look back at the greatest basketball game of our generation. I've always heard that this was the best 2K of the bunch, and today I'm going over the reasons I found why people believe so.
What do you think is the best basketball game? NBA live 2005 is in the running also.

Dom2k I STILL PLAY NBA 2K11 AND I CAN GUARENTEE YOU I STILL LOVE IT BECAUSE 2K TODAY IS TOO RESTRICTED ON MY CAREER AND 2K11 YOU COULD ACTUALLY INDIVIDUALLY UPGRADE STATS TY DOM FOR EXPLAINING THIS #REMAKE2K11
Dom2k mb for caps
A hybrid of 2k11 and 2k13
Back when 2K's goal was to actualt make a fun game for the people, instead of making as much money as possible 😐
U brought back memories fam. I remember this being the first 2k game I ever bought and the introduction had me hooked. I'm definitely going to go buy it again. Sucks that the servers are no longer up and I don't have the same Xbox due to the red ring of death
2k11 the best and 13
Yes! Loved the 2K13 especially when you are a 3pt specialist haha! 3s all day!
Malik The Martian 2k11 is the best, 2k13 was meh, because you couldn’t block any type of dunk whatsoever
Malik The Martian You couldn’t block any shot honestly
On the PS3 and Xbox 360 cause the best 2k games are NBA 2k16 and 11
@@taleahmassey I agree 16 was great
Situations is the best mode ever tbh
Slaughter right idk why they took it out I loved it
Slaughter I would always use scalabrine to hit the game winner
Bandit878 🐐
Foreal that mode was the best
2k11 had best soundtrack and myplayer didn't suck. 2k didn't scam us with vc
Too be real I didn't like how we started 30 overall.. but it was good
DunbarJenkins/MrAwsomeDude34 nah u were 55
Red Hood next gen ur talking about
No in 2k11 myplayer, you start at 55 ovr
didn't u start at like a 42 overall
this was probably the last game 2K gave a shit about the game they put out. These days they seem lazy.
WdnUlik2no right
It doesn’t seem nothing. It’s very obvious they don’t care
Either that or 2k got mad n went over to LIVE
I've earned a new level of respect for you bro. All time favorite 2k. This game is what turned me into a basketball head.
only the real ones say that 2k11 was the best 2k
Axel Ojeda 2k13 was my fav
Axel Ojeda 2k10 was my first game, I think it had the best soundtrack, but I had a lot of time in 2k11 than 2k10 because of all the features.
@@aico727 Richard Jefferson was a fucking monster in 2k10
other real ones will say Kyle Lai-fatt is the greatest basketball player of all time

I've spent wayyyyy too many hours on this game, I had so many My Career players, different styles etc and my own teams. At one point u kind of figure how the game works and it gets repetitive but there's still so many things to do
THANK YOU, I LOVE THIS GAME AND HAVE NEVER PLAYED A 2K game since. MyPlayer on it was still so good.
I put mj on the thunder on creating a legend 😂 I remember me Westbrook and kd ballin out every game I was on a 23 game win streak tryna break the record form the 96 bulls but then I quit cause Kobe hit a buzzer beater in the 24th game from half court
i love how we are 2 years into 8th gen and ppl are still callin it the next gen... its current gen ffs
+Lughano Mumba I don't think many people feel connected to this gen cause games literally just started coming out

I love you for this man. The memories
You forgot the spin dunk
Tyonne Airlines R trigger and backwards. Never forget.
Most people here are too young to remember 24/7 mode from 2k5!!
Jay Stockton can you tell us about it?
+Jay Stockton
YES! I was thinking "am I the only old one who remembers the old 2ks?" I remember winning the championship with the Sixers against the Wolves with Olowokandi. And that mode with the weirdest rules, and very difficult towards the end. 24/7 was hard as fuck.
Jay Stockton those were the days. i had it on the first xbox. ben wallace on the front cover
My fucking favorite i love 2k5 fucking memories bruh
24/7 was like the older version of mycareer except it also involved blacktop
I loved create a legend mode wish it was back. And dom ya got you another sub great vid
Great video! Thank you! Fast Forward to 2021 and I'm actually going to be playing both of these games this weekend! 2K11 on PS3 and 2K16 on PS4 Pro. These games look amazing on PC as well. Looking for downloads but if I can't find the base game, I will be getitng it for PC emulation soon. People are not only rating 2K11 and 2K16 as the best of its time, everyone is still rating these titles as the best basketball video games of all time, to compete with today's games. The community still prefers to play these titles versus 2k19, 20, and 21. Thanks again!
I wish NBA LIve was an actual competitor to 2k
dan marshal hopefully they will compete with 2k in 17
dan marshal they comin this year #justwaitonit
dan marshal so 2k can care about us to
dan marshal I used to love nba live 06
dan marshal and that Soundtrack was dope af
i loved 2k11, i remember coming home everyday hyped to play it. i havent got that feeling from any other 2k so far
+ethan bacay Same
ethan bacay I'm not gonna disagree with you but man when my uncle got a PS4 I was so hyped to play 14 I just loved that it was the first one with cutscenes and even when I went home I had the 360 it was so fun to play the different LeBron modes it was so fun for me
ethan bacay same bruh it was 2k I would happily play 82 games
Nataye Holyfield i liked 2k14 too, that game was fun too but i just enjoyed 2k11 alot more lmao
same Ethan bacey
Ya content got me in a rabbit hole fam
that Jordan challenge was soooo fun ! 2k11 was the best. because of the jordan challenge and when you played with the greats i actually felt like you was playing with, the movements was so on point. now half of the legends dont even look like them. its like you just playing with a random person with a legend name attributes. Now the sound track for 2k11 was ok but 2k12 sound track was the best.
2K11 BALANCED Gameplay?? lol yea unstoppable spin dunk cheese and pump fake cheese, so balanced lol best basketball game of all time is 2K17 or 16, period
+Instagram Morpheus314 2K17 A.I can barely think for itself...
I could agree with 16
Every game has exploits btw, 11's his just weren't unbearable
Dom2k 11s were not unbearable? how? u literally could spin dunk not 99% of the time but 100% of the time u could com down and spink dunk
you could win basically every game in 2k11 through a combination of spin dunks, hopstepping into the paint and standing dunking, and spamming pumpfakes into shooting fouls with an occasional and-1.
it was a great game that sold extremely well (first 2k game to outsell madden i think) and probably played a big part in the NBA's recent rise in popularity but it was also hilariously broken.
Instagram Morpheus314 16 is horrible stfu
Kwamis Fojackson rite lol and euro step cheesing and hop stepping in th paint and repeatedly tap thr shot button to pump fake until u got a foul lol
2k bring back 2k11 my god it was so much fun playing it
Top 10 2k Player and revamp the god awful defense and rebounding.2k looked so promising at launch imo now its awful beyond life
+Miltonman100 id like to blame the VC that made the game terrible because devs got more money and they just got lazy AF and its been the same game since 2k14
2ks newest release: NBA 2k11 HD Remastered
+Blackman Whitesuit it should be I don't think they've said anything about doing that
Go TH-cam - are you a good person by living waters
damn right !! they need to bring back the dleauge
Yessss having tourneys every night doing summer with friends. Need to bring that back
Messenja Matt's video of the three Jordan's playing against each other will never be forgotten
+mikebark121 Legendary. I wonder where he went
Watched every one of those videos. He was Shady00018 before Shady existed
Ultimately the reason why 2k11 is the best basketball game ever is because of the feel of the game. Of course more recent 2k's have more fluid complex animations, much more contact animations etc., but this results in a lot of 'lag', where you have less control because the game is playing out the animations. 2k11 was simpler because there was less animation and therefore player movement was more based on what you were actually doing with the analogue stick. This meant the feel of the game was more 'pure', more what you wanted rather than what 2k decides what happens. I still think 2k11 has better feel than any 2k since.
However credit has to go to 2k17, it's the best 2k in recent years as long as you fix the sliders.
+Farhan Ahmed While patches have made 17 better, I'm still struggling with the fact that sometimes the A.I is just borderline stupid on the CPU side
17 is fucking trash, archetypes are stupid its hard to be unique when you create like 7 archetypes, how about you build your character and choose what parts you can be good at, let people choose 3 things like speed/handle/pass
speed/strenght/midrange defense/speed/strenght(post) pass/midrange/defense this archetypes shit made the game worse. 2k17 makes you feel like a scrub
Farhan Ahmed finally somebody gets it and knows what their talking about. 2K sacrificed gameplay in favor of animation.
i still remember waking up with a new 360 with need for speed and 2k11 under the christmas tree and just playing the hell out of that game and really getting me into watching the nba more frequently. One of the reasons i started watching my sixers play.
I've played every 2K since 2K5 with Ben Wallace as the cover athlete and this is STILL my favorite 2K of all-time! Great video! I enjoyed it!
this guy keeps ending his sentences like he's not finished talking lol. take a breather my dude
+The Best Goddamn Pilot It's because my voice is edited together I don't talk straight through
The Best Goddamn Pilot Bruh lmfaoooo
malik caradine
The Best Goddamn Pilot cxxxxxxxx x
2k11 and 2k13 are the best 2ks ever
Dev Knights don't compare 11 and 13, 13 sucked ass
Dev Knights 2k6 was the online goat and best soundtrack
Devyn2013 Gaming and 2k 14
yep lmao
Devyn2013 Gaming yes
you made alot of good points. good video.
Watching this filled me with so much nostalgia.
2k11 is amazing but 2k13 was def my favorite I used to sing P.S.A every time it played it in the intro
TheLegendJay same "Allow me too reintroduce myself" and I just remember Kevin Garnett hitting a hook shot during the intro lol
TheLegendJay bruh I loved 13 man
True, "Allow me to reintroduce myself my name is HOV, H to the OV, "
TheLegendJay I stg💯
TheLegendJay yeah I think 13 is the best play style and movements felt good to me
Lol who else tried they hardest to get traded to the Heat on MyCareer ? Lmaoo
Lol I made a Point guard just for that
The PuertoRican Gamer fr tho
I used get upset my team wouldn't trade me
lol i was pg for them
lol i finally got traded to miami but ended up tearing my Achilles
good video man
2k11 is still my favorite 2k game
2k12 is my favorite with 2k11 a hair behind. I loved playing 11 but what 12 added with the other legend challenges and the introduction of a single game rookie showcase to my player was just incredible.
personally, i liked 2k12. That intro got me in the mood to ball every single time. And when you played as historic teams it added a visual filter to match the television style of the time, like the 50/60 celtics playing in black and white
Soundtrack on this game was so good man. I still listen to the songs all the time and remember playing the game
I loved little by little still listen to it
I would pay 80$ for a nba 2k11 remastered with no changes just graphics for next gen
Imo I love NBA 2K11 and NBA 2K12 they were the best games ever I like the 15 Greatest Players challenge in 2K12.
TheKDogBrand yes someone who agrees with me on 2k12
i love 2k12 i still play it sometimes
12 was butt
TheKDogBrand 2k12 was garbage was the lock out season and wasn't no roster updates
I remember when i was playing NBA Live 2007, that was the time of my life
Dunk contest, three point shootout...
The graphics was shit but I still played it because you could feel something that you will never feel again...
Good old times
This game was awesome, man you really did it justice
2k11 is the best of all time. It's the reason I became a 2k person
The post game in 2k11 was awesome.
The strict archetypes and the limited badges you can get are what ruined my career in nba2k17
Damn I played 2k11 so much that the game stopped working
Brickflair 1 same
2K11 was the first 2K I played extensively. I played one and a half seasons in MyCareer, did all Jordan Challenges, and generally attempted to keep the rosters up to date when playing Association mode.
There were a few things I absolutely loathed in MyCareer:
-defenders had eyes in the back of their heads, which made throwing passes up the court on a break practically throwing auto-interceptions.
-guys like Emeka Okafor would routinely outrun my 99 speed PG on a fastbreak and get in front of him.
-teammates would gleefully shoot your team out of games, by not taking the open corner three, instead running into two defenders to take an impossible shot.
-opponents always make their turnaround fadeaways, defended or not.
-"have your opponent commit 6 fouls"
-coach would sub my 6'0" PG in at the four sometimes, forcing me to defend Dirk/KG and the like.
Other than that, I did enjoy it very much, even if it frustrated me endlessly.
I also played 2K9, '13, '14, '15 and '16. '13 to me was solid, it improved on a few things that '11 had. I kind of liked '14 but the goaltending / kickball / over the back cheese was utterly annoying. '15 had shooting animations so inaccurate and slow that it rendered some players unusable as jumpshooters (Eric Gordon, Leandro Barbosa, Al Horford for instance). I've put 212 hours into it, though, so I clearly enjoyed playing it. Now I'm playing 2k16 and aside from the "player with 35 steal rating can always reach and pick Kyrie Irving, no foul call" cheese I've witnessed, it's a fine enough game. MyCareer is corny as hell, though. Wish I could play 2k9 again, for nostalgia sake.
you forgot to mention how ronnie was not hired
march 2017 and i am still playing this
This and 2k13 are my favorite basketball games. I really enjoyed the association modes.
