But in that instance it is a weak block and the AI triggered the animation. a little tweaking should fix it. 3. Chris Bosh's block i feel should have shot the ball straight to mid court instead of kinda floating down. wrong animation between bosh and the ball. Good Video btw. I can see no force field glaring even in slow motion. Good job EA.

They had the wrong animation on the Birdman block also to me. The ball seemed to fall straight down to the floor when it didn't look like that's what should have happened.

The Lopez thing isn't just about him falling for no reason it's the direction in which he's falling that made zero sense. If he had fallen backwards it would have looked better even though he shouldn't have fallen at all. If he's going to flop make him flop in the right direction.

If you look at Robin Lopez' right leg it looks like he trips over Beidris. His foot comes in contact with Beidris' right leg causing him to fall to his right. That's what I see anyways...

I think the collision detection might be more sensitive than it should be that's why AI triggered an animation with no relation to what was going on.

There were some good things in the vid (the best being the Lee rebound, one of the most realistic looking boards i've seen a game) so I don't want to focus too much on this, but that animation cannot be defended. He did not have enough momentum to fall that much forward no matter what happened. It was a very weird and awkward looking animation.

They probably shouldn't have included that sequence in the vid. I'm not sure what they were trying to show with that clip. It was a mess from JRich's stepback travel, to Biedrins not even attempting to go after the rebound after a horrific box out when he's a very good rebounder, then to the bad Lopez animation.

I don't know why some of you are trying to dismiss the Lopez fall as a trip or contact. There was initial contact with Biedrins, but Biedrins was infront of him, not behind him. Logically, why would Lopez fly forwards if Biedrins contact/impact hit him from the front?It was a small glitch, that's all.

Great rebound by Lopez though, the rebounding animations in this game are simply amazing (and boxouts, extremely superior rebounding to 2k where any 7 footer can grab the ball in stratosphere), court spacing, AI (watch how Jefferson/ Ginobili slide over, how TP is ready to cut down the lane for a dump off pass from TD until TD is blocked and he cuts back). There are some AMAZING sequences here that are extremely lifelike to NBA tendencies. I've HATED Live for the past 4 years and I'm actually convinced I will play AND enjoy this game thoroughlly.

I still have no problem with how he fell.
The rebound he got was impressive looking.
I agree with the shot blocking, all though good animations the ball should of got sent on the Bosh and Anderson blocks.

How was the Lopez rebound impressive looking? maybe I'm missing something The thing I didn't like about it was Beans was just standing there.

Just need to clarify:

I loved the way the offensive player seemingly combo'd dribbling moves. That's what was so great about 2k7.

The actual purpose of the video, blocks and rebounds, still had that awkward look to it.

Seems like that suction of two players that people have complained about with 2k for a while is starting to crop up here as well. Players jumping up and then being moved back a few feet magically...

The dribbling by Deron was very nice though.
