With NBA 2K11, though, it's been all love. Maybe it's because I'm playing with the stacked Miami Heat, but the controls feel a little more forgiving this time around. When I miss a shot in 2K11, it feels like it's my fault, not the controller's fault.
The big draw in 2K11 is obviously the Jordan Challenge mode. For a lot of older gamers (and by 'older' I mean old enough to have watched and appreciated Michael Jordan in a Bulls uniform), this mode must be a great trip down memory lane.
I, however, was 10 in 1998, and had no interest in basketball. For me, playing through the Jordan Challenges has been a great way to discover just how great Jordan was. I knew about the titles, about some of the big shots, about the dunks and the competitiveness, but trying to recreate them is a feat even in the virtual world.
I'm curious if younger gamers in their teens are having the same experience. Other sports games have been giving nods to the past, but props to 2K for going above and beyond the norm.
