First, players are really well made, animations are simply sublime as on and off the field. And I measure my words!
In addition, being able to use legendary teams such as the Chicago Bulls Jordan or the Lakers Shaquille O'Neal makes it really attractive game. The european teams are also playable, nice.
Finally, player interviews (their real voice) at the end of the game make the game an appalling realism.
Negative point, however: Census little bugs (crash right match particular) certainly very rare, but embarrassing.
