So far, I think the game is great, although there are some rough edges. 
It seems to play very well, except for one thing. The computer opponents 
seem to be VERY difficult to beat! They steal the ball and grab rebounds 
with a MUCH greater frequency than the arcade or other home versions. 
After a few games, my scores are getting better, but I still can't beat 
the computer even on the easiest setting. (Getting close, though. :) )
The graphics are colorful and have great scaling effects. The game seems 
to use all of the actual players' heads in the game. The full-motion 
video at halftime and at the end is very clean, too.
I don't have a memory card yet, so I can't save stats. I hope to get one 
soon--I'm sick of playing the Mavericks.
By the way, the voice in the game is superb. Some samples seem to repeat 
more often than they should, but overall it seems to have the most 
variety of any home version, and that's before you consider the inclusion 
of vocal names! Yes, the voice announcer is happy to call your favorite 
NBA superstars by name!
So far, I'm enjoying this game (even though I haven't won any of four 
games yet...hopefully that will change very soon). I would recommend that 
you give it a try!
