There is...a timely executed double team on the ball will force the ball handler to pick up his dribble and/or get ripped

Don't pre judge the demo. This game will be off the chain. (PS Dwight & Kobe are beasts!!!)

I agree with this a 100% It felt wierd at the beginning but after gettin used to the controls it feels amazing

I'm tired of playing the demo can this game come out?

I see no one answered this but I had the same issue. Player lock in the demo is broken.

I felt like a lot of the fouls in the post were predetermined. Either that or the call would come in late.

Overall I think post work needs a ton of work. Too many times when playing ORL Dwight will catch it in the post, pivot, and take off for a dunk with no dribble. I don't care how athletic he is, it's not physically possible to launch yourself like that at the rim off 2 feet with no step or dribble.

I would like to just be able to beat my man off the dribble with no move for once in a video game.

Teammate AI is very spotty. I've seen too many times where my guards will get beat off the dribble and the bigs rotation will be too late or the contact animation in the paint will be non-existent. Too many uncontested layups in the paint and/or guys like Fish/Nelson finishing over Howard/Bynum/Gasol.

Dynamic DNA is an incredible feature that will reap benefits in the future. Spacing is fantastic as is the playcalling and the free flowing offenses but the clunkliness, bad rebounding mechanics, and lack of consistent smooth animations still plague this series.

The more honest feedback that is given, the better they can continue to make the game...

I know this game isn't final code so I won't hold it against the final product but if this is how dna is being inputed someone is doing it wrong. D Fish doesn't play as himself imo as he dominates the ball like Iverson- constantly trying to drive the lane and forcing bad shots. D Howard is also playing like C. Bosh constantly trying to face up and drive rather than post up. Bynum is floating around the high mid range area. Maybe that has something to do with playing on superstar rather than all-star(with the exception of d fish who plays like that on every level). I'm also getting becoming a little disappointed with the playcall execution by the a.i. as I see a lot of bunching up in the paint . Little disappointed with the user cpu a.i. off ball movement as well when no plays are called and teammate d(I think help d is almost overprogrammed as my guys are leaving when they don't need to creating way too many cpu scoring opportunities). Dunks seem to ignore defender proximity and just warp to the basket at times.

Despite all that, I'm still playing it a lot

Beluba - I have noticed a problem with the rebounding - often the CPU players will jump early (way before the ball even hits the rim)....it's like the CPU is cheating a bit, because it knows the shot will be a miss ahead of time, so it will jump early - as the ball comes off the rim the CPU rebounder is already at the peak of his jump and just snatches the ball before the human player even gets a chance to jump. This issue of players jumping early to rebound seems to happen a lot.

it's contextual, not like last year. This could be good and bad. I'm loving the game though.

Yeah your right. You have to slowly move in with the player. Thats a really bad idea whoever came up with that.
