So sad that the direction of this game has gone to the worst. I used to enjoy this game honestly. The MJ mode does look for a little more to be desired, but as a basketball player and fan of the sport there is just too much going on that is not necessary. All of the moves are overly exaggerated. there is simply too much movement put into a regular play. If I want my player to do a hop step I can press a button for that. I don't need for the computer AI to step in and incorporate a hop step for me before my player will go up to dunk. I don't need extra movement on passing the ball down court. especially if when I attempt to pass the ball lingers in the air like a fat kids fart on broccoli, just for it to be picked off. The random errant passes are really annoying also. There is just not that many errors on a basketball court period. The series was best with 2k3 ever since then with the incorporation of isomotion the game has progressively gone downhill. I am not a fan of sport titles anymore. The entire staff of 2K and EA needs an overhaul and revitalization. Make the game simple. Arguably isomotion this year is actually decent. but if I want a normal layup or a normal jumpshot I should be able to have a normal jumpshot, layup, or pass. Way too much exaggerated movement in this game. I will trade back in and just continue playing Mass Effect and Red Dead instead...
