We only saw a small glimpse of the game who knows if that is a huge problem this year. Just because we saw it here doesn't mean its going to happen every time.

Gotta keep the vid in perspective it was 53 sec clip not a 10 min clip of gameplay. A lot of stupid things can happen in that amount of time.

Just look at NBA 2K9 great looking animations but even that game has its moments leave you thinking "wtf just happened."

The days of driving and dunking are over.

If you promise the days of driving and dunking are over I'm 100% sold. That's the only thing stopping me from playing NBA games anymore. I just hate that there's no defense and the game is DESIGNED for blowing passed the defense and dunking without missing.

I not only promise it, I guarantee it.

Try it first thing in the demo.

in fairness though, the term "pinning" and "chase-down block" started after LeBron was doing it. Josh may have started the trend, but LeBron brought it mainstream. Now there's talk of adding it as a seperate stat...

Sorry 23

Dunks still don't look right. The rim seems way too stiff. Need improvement in this area.

Marcus - It looks good, overall. I have to admit that some of the movement still reminds me of current gen Live but the extra animations for hustle plays and some of the rebounding and sizeup moves I've seen in the other vids look HOT!

A few sticking points were how the teams looked to stand around a lot with no movement and the defensive trailer on the fast break not at least jumping for a possible rebound.
During the loose ball situations, everyone not involved just seemed to stand and watch. I think they need to be more in "potential energy mode" during these situations where they look more ready to spring into action instead of just standing such as being caught between trying to keep tabs on who they're guarding and coming back to the ball to help, feel me?

As for the other standing around during the plays before the loose ball, I'm assuming there were isolation plays called just for the vids so that their is more focus on the hustle play. That's just my assumption, Marcus, and I'm hoping I'm assuming correctly....or the new player movement animations weren't being utilized, for that vid. Hmmm.

As for the defensive trailer not at least jumping for a potential rebound and just leaving the layup to a forgone conclusion, that speaks for itself. THAT should be a part of hustle play, as well. I've actually seen a few situations in the released vids that players don't try to at least jump for a rebound.

Other than that, it's all good...Oh, the crowd reactions seemed to not synch with the on-court action when there was a turn over for the home team leading to a fastbreak. I just think that the crowd should be pretty much on their feet as well as cheering as the fastbreak is happening.

Keep on strivin', my bruva. Peas...
