yeah, I just got it too. Played about 6 games.

I'm still getting used to the pick and roll and lockdown features, seems pretty nice.

I do agree about the blocks, they look extremely clunky.

I thought the shoot button was timed now, it may very well be. but I figured if you held the button down, it would be an up and down (travel..)

I did notice something else odd, when CPU Perkins shot the ball from full court at the buzzer, it said on the DNA ticker (100%) but he missed. Full court heave is 100% miss or make? A bit odd...

I'll be back later with more impressions, as well.

[WTF]

Downloaded from UK for PS3... Just had quite a few games with it. Had some things I like, a few I dislike, overall, I'm impressed.

Had one sequence where Ray Allen stole the ball from Kobe, as I was cycling through the plays. Without missing a beat, scooped up the ball and took off towards the other end of the court. Was able to get Kobe back down the floor, and in KG-trailer fashion, timed the block perfectly, sending the thing off the backboard, nearly back to the FT line, where Odom was waiting for it. It was a thing of beauty. The blocks are in the game... but they are seldom like the KG trailer showed. But when it happens... it happens.

I'm still getting used to the controls. Not sure how to take a charge, etc. just yet, haha. I'll figure it out I'm sure.

[WTF]

PS- Don't know if you all realized this or not.. and I'm sure that someone has pointed it out, but you can pause and restart the game as time is expiring in the second quarter. Infinite playtimes!

[WTF]

Another FYI... I'm extremely pleased with dunks in general this year. I'm going to have some hellacious highlight reals put together.

I just pulled off a NASTY fast break two hand 360 with KB24. I can't wait to play the full version with LBJ.

Welp im DL now, wont get to play much until later tonight, then tomorrow night

[WTF]

I just saw Kobe get PUMPED up. He and Ray Ray were going back and forth... Kobe with the ball. Ray was ALL OVER him. He got some space, took a jab step towards the hole, Ray sorta stumbled backwards, and Kobe rose up for the uncontested 15' jumper. After touching nothing but Nylon, Kobe just lets out a scream, and starts beating his chest ferociously...

Very nice touch.

Oh, and Bynum pinned a KG shot against the boards. Very nice...
