I'm asking because I'd be interested in getting it if the gameplay wasn't too easy but not so incredible difficult either. NBA Live '08 was the peak for me, it was easy to steal the ball and routinely beat opponents by 40 in Franchise mode but the movements, passing (though I've yet to see a game replicate true real life passing, driving & passing, catching & shooting, driving-catching-shot) and the difficulty set at the highest level seemed to have a not to easy but not to hard to make shots. That game was the perfect human-vs-human basketball game.

I tried the 2K with Jordan on it but I got lost & frustrated in the sliders, while it was innovative to choose exactly how to attack the basket (euro step, hop step, etc) it was too much for me and what should have been easy lay-ups or dunks were more difficult for me than jump shots from the perimeter.
