Coming from someone who loves NBA 2k...

I'm actually very impressed with this game overall. Sure, the animations are still a little choppy, but there are also some really cool animations in there that I've never seen in a video game. The whole NBA atmosphere is better than it is in 2k, and the graphics are excellent. I'll have to play it a little more to decide on the gameplay, but with how fun this is combined with Live 365, and this may be a surprise hit!

Definitely give this game a thumbs up. The pick and roll control is my favorite, running the pick and roll with Pierce and KG was just like watching it on TV. I still think its a year away and needs a good deal of polish, but the core is there.

What makes you guys so sure that this is not the final build?

Could an EA guy confirm this?

That's the thing. I'm wondering when the cut off points are for certain aspects of the game that you can't go back and redo?

I'm guessing when they show/give a game to the media (Final madden 09 builds being literally in the hands of some critics a month or more before release) that it's pretty much a wrap albeit SOME minor tweaks to things that can be actually done and tested before that month of initial release....
