Highs:

Nice graphics, great animations, pro-hop is no longer a guaranteed dunk,
tighter AI defense, some movement corrections over 2K4 to improve realism
(players can't change direction without any footwork at all). Salaries in
dynasty mode now based on cash rather than points (though points still buy
extras like training sessions and coaches, and stuff in the NBA Store).

Lows:

Players pause to catch passes in transition -- more realistic, but makes
fast breaks harder (this probably belongs in the Highs... ). Can't
nickname created players -- if you don't create players, this is obviously
not an issue.

If I had it to do over again, I'd probably wait till it drops to $20.
Especially if you've already got 2K4.
