They really shouldn't have to look too far, their NBA games are exactly like that. I bought 2k13 shortly after it came out played it once, and let it sit for a long time, but lately I'll just pick it up and play a game or two just for kicks before diving into Dragon Age or something time intensive. I don't touch the online or career mode, but I love franchise mode. I don't know much about the various plays or truthfully even how to call them as I've never tried, but it's there if I ever do want it. You can create your own shoes and win others that give various attributes, change coaching tendencies and so many other in depth options for people that love that part of basketball. On the other hand it also lends itself easily to a guy like me that just wants to pick up the controller and drain a few 3's and eventually get the championship cutscene.
The thing that mainly got me off the WWE games is that the matches all felt the same. No matter who you picked it felt like there were 2 "styles" high flyer or everyone else. What I loved about Fire Pro is that it had so many varieties in style among the wrestlers and the NBA games are this way as well and even force you to play to that. Jeremy Lin isn't going to power dunk on anyone and Roy Hibbert isn't going to drain 3's. You try and you are going to lose. The WWE games never really felt that way to me, aside from going for the groggy moves too early and they would be reversed until you wore the other guy down, everybody played the same unless they were diving over the ropes or off turnbuckles. Even the high-flyers felt the same when they were going toe to toe with opponents. Height, speed and weight never mattered much.
