NBA 2K6 is a complete simulation of the real NBA game. It put the graphics, gameplay, sound, and replay value in this game. The game has the best graphics of any NBA game and would surpass any other games that would come along ont he current-gen, until the next NBA 2K7. The gameplay is also great because you have a great control over your players and team. The controls may take time to get used to but it will pay off for you. The new Dual Player Control helps by using two palyers at once. You can tell a guy to post up or head for the three-point line. This makes great. The sound of Kenny Smith and Kevin Harlan. They really bring the game to and infomative level. The sideline announcing of Craig Sager could use some tweaks but its solid and the crowd can get into the game by calling out names and who to guard. Its really great.The sountrack is good too, with DJ Spooky, Catalyst 101, Aceyalone, and other great artists. The replay Value is great and youll play this game alot whether its the Association, 24/7 Mode or anything else. Buy this game!
