Although NBA 2K11 is some of the best sports gaming I've encountered, the harder AI is just plain ol' cheap. Psychic passing lane coverage (no look steals? Um, how about no) and magical rebounding abilities even against 97-rated custom-created centers (with 99 ratings in all rebound areas) make it almost pointless to pass the ball or expect to nab a missed shot. Beyond that, some glitches and desperately needed nagging patches (I have the PC version, there are several bugs but I got it for $29.99) also hold it back a touch; but the game is still a very solid game. I'm really just nitpicking in the grand scheme, I can't stay away from the game, the immersion is superb.
