The commentary was so-so and is definately something that needs work in the future. I too missed stat overlays, but it makes sense that some stats would only be displayed in Association and Season mode - then again I'm left wondering what happened to current game stat-displays. Maybe they are only displayed during freethrows...

Yes in terms of passing, they still had that problem where they kept passing it up to each other, especially when Amare had an open lane at one point and didn't capitalize.

In terms of blocked shots, I have to disagree with you.

If you watch all the times the computers went up, they were all soft shots, they did nothing to set up a move, isomotion, or moves in the post and that's why he kept getting blocked.

You also failed to mention the crisp mid range, good ball movement, shot clock management, and overall feel of the game.

Next clip, I will slow it down a tad w/ sliders.

I liked it. Looks good. I am sure with sliders we will be able to fix the little nuance. I am excited about the game.

Also, for the people complaining about the suns not running, D'antoni is in NY and Porter is the new coach. They will NOT be running like we are used to seeing. The nuggets looked liked they pushed the ball though.

Thanks Steve, I was just about to post a comment that the majority of animation issues seem to come from the sped up gamespeed. That's why I'm not really pressed since there's a gamespeed slider anyway.

Excellent point. I think people missed that fact.

I'd like to see how this game looks with the speed settings down. The cpu did over pass a lot but other than that it looks great.

I like the intros, I see warmups and manual shooting like College but with cutscenes coming soon for some reason lol..Honestly besides that, the crowd and the double teams on pick and rolls I didnt see anything to wow me..this version seems like 2K8.5..Uniforms are still wrong, passing will still be a problem, sliding will cause a problem for d and offense because idiot players will be all over the place on offense and it will be hard to contest shots..

one thing i noticed in the video, after bell scored they had a sound for him, that's pretty cool.
