I really like, maybe Im saying that because Im in need of a basketball game, but what's bugging me is...why would the bigs be guarding other bigs away from the basket? Puzzling, Rasheed is guarding Shaw at the 3pt line, making it possible for Lebron to get the dunk. Plus there's no contact...looks good, maybe they was just trying to show us the dribble moves and we can change the defense later.

slliMM - They're called isolation plays 
They did that on purpose, just like in the other vid showing off hustle plays so everyone could focus on the dribble moves.
As for this vid, ish is S-I-C-K!!!! I favored 2K9, last year, and I love it but I have to admit that, for some reason, the dribble moves actually looked "better", to me, in that vid, than in 2K9. I didn't think it could be possible to top the organic stylings of the 2K9 dribble move animations but EA did it!! Even down to how the hands/fingers animate in a "loose" fashion when dribbling like a person who KNOWS how to dribble and has ultimate confidence in their game. Wow, and thanks goes to Mike Wang. This dude needs to work with the Madden squad, too. I joked about that before but, ish, I'm starting to think that he needs to take lead designer and that comes with no disrespect to Ian. Mike has that magic touch, for real.
Now, did anyone catch how the crowd reacted to D. Ro's step back dribble?????? THAT WAS RIDICULOUSLY HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game has me reacting like I'm 12, again, for real!
One thing I have to point out, though, and I dunno if it is something that will sometimes get whistled - J. Ro walked when he drove to the hoop. Now, if EA does go that route with the shakey whistles, like in real life, count that as ANOTHER hot addition to the game but if that is going to an animation throughout the game by point guards that DOESN'T get called, at all, shame on EA for that. Mike, I hope you're reading this. GET ON IT, MY DUDE!!!
coolkid - Yea, I feel u. I hope they can get the rim animation together before release.
That Slam exclusive vid of the sneaks and such is adding to my excitement so excuse me :\

Actually, the crowd reacts to moves from other than Rose. Had to watch it for the 93rd time. Nice, nice, nice...
