Yes exactly, thats why I posted the Lakers Spurs clip, to show people that the demo and real life are bout same speed...

Appreciate the vid. I guess I have to stop being cheap and pony up the money for a Gold account.

Nice, just completed a nice normal-looking alley-oop to KG on the break and got a SportsCenter Top 10 Nominee. Looks like we're finally getting some real ESPN intergration in terms of the actual gameplay rather than the on-demand video stuff/stats that they have been providing. Hope it's a nightly SportsCenter Top 10 like normal with all the best plays from the games in each week of your dynasty.. that would be sweet.

And yeah, I agree with whoever complained about the offensive guys getting the board and getting back up WAY too quickly. Marcus Camby and a few other guys can pogo-stick like that, but certainly not Pau Gasol and Kendrick Perkins (especially considering most aren't tip-ins, but two-handed slams or gathered layups).

Just as I make some comments that Kobe never gets any looks, they run some nice back screens for him and just get that guy open.

Some real nice stuff went down in these few games:

hopefully both of those play in WMP in your browser

I hope people can see. quality is iffy at that.

- all SHOT sliders on both sides were toned down quite a bit.
- game speed slider raised from 1/2 way to almost 3/4 full
-all foul sliders raised to about 3/4 as well
-blocking sliders decreased considerably.

Game played on the highest difficulty.

more to come

Woah, BShadow's first video had all kinds of crazy-speed happening... You sure you wanna jack the speed up that much? Looked like a Benny Hill scene featuring the Lakers when they were on the break. I like mine right about 65 -- seems to play well there. And laying off the turbo makes everything look so much nicer, especially bringing the ball up, because those transition animations aren't good when you switch between turbo and non-turbo. Made the game look mad funky -- it looks much better at a slower pace.
