The graphics are very well done. Player models are realistic and smooth looking, and the animations remind you of actual games played in arenas around the country. Even the crowd will get into it as the game goes along, including the applause, cheering, and chants. Sound wise, you'll feel like you're listening to an actual game. Now the bad.
Every coach looks the same, and EA never bothered to try and replicate the actual coaches of the game. The announcer (that's right, no color commentary) is awful. He doesn't follow the game at all, sounds repetitive, and is completely boring to listen to. I once was down by two with ten seconds to go in the game, and he said there's no point in fouling, they're down too much. What the hell??? Does he know the game at all???
