The commentary shouldn't be scripted.

They should just script every possible game situation they need in a few hours of gameplay, play it back to the commentators, and let the game with only the crowd and basketball noises be their guide for commentary.

Last year's buzzer-beater shot commentary was awful and emotion-less. If they actually saw a buzzer beater go in at the end of a virtual game that they've watched the entirety of, they'd be a lot more into it than reading off of a script.

I don't see anything special, Will wait for more videos..

One thing that kinda bothers me is the heavily contested close-range shots that were being made. Pierce got caught in triple teams a few times and would just wet floaters regardless of who was in front of him (6'10" Odom and 7' Gasol and Bynum).

Good defense needs to be rewarded more than it was last year.

If he misses it, then people would cry about OPEN layups being missed

Could be a lower difficulty. Many reasons...

Is Rob Jones still with 2k? or did he go with Mike...

+crowd looks great.

+dude controlling the players has terrible movement with the rock.

I wish I could've seen a bit more but the game looks like it's shaping up pretty well. Doesn't look like anything dramatic has been changed. Like everyone else, I'm a bit dissapointed with the commentary. NBA Live's graphics look great to me, if I could get them in this game I'd be set. Hopefully we will start hearing more about the 5 on 5 soon. I really want to see that in action.

There's gotta be some kind of in-between though. Last year wide open layups would get missed.

That's what I was hoping... but even still, on a default level (which I'm guessing this demo was played on) I don't want to see this happening.
