Yikes! Indeed..

I totally agree...the game is MUCH better IMO.

I've played three games so far and :

- The game is sooooooo much "tighter". I feel like I am in control at last.
- Sliding is much better...defensive sliding on the PS3 was terrible out of the box.
-I can go into the paint without the ridiculous turn overs.
-Rebounds are much crisper.
-Fouls are much better.
-CPU movement is really nice (this may just be the latest DNA Rosters)

Big improvement.

I feel like I've gone from the DEMO...to buying the BETA...and now I have the actual game. Early November, but better late than never. Nice.

Only negative so far = freezing. I've had the game completely lock up twice already. I am glad we know they are going to fix that, as it would be a big thing otherwise obviously.

First game post-patch on the PS3, all-star default 10 minute quarters.

Bos (me) v. NYKnicks, in New York

PTS: 92 -------- 82
FG%: 46.1% -------- 37.6%
FGA: 35-76 --------- 35-93
3pt%: 20% --------- 28.6%
3att: 1-5 --------- 4-14
FT%: 67.7% --------- 72.7%
FTA: 21-31 --------- 8-11
REB: 40 --------- 42
AST: 20 --------- 19
BLK: 8 --------- 9
STL: 1 --------- 6
TO: 13 --------- 12
Fouls: 7 --------- 20
O.Reb: 2 --------- 11
FB: 4 --------- 4

Garnett & Pierce led scoring for Boston with 25 each, Wallace had 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, Rondo had 7 assists.

Chandler & Hughes had 15 each, Harrington had 7 rebounds and Duhon had 10 assists.

Quick thoughts: The game plays better, period. The post game and rebounding seem more responsive, the Knicks take shots early in the clock as they should, and the cpu players on both teams seem to hustle more after loose balls in the paint (for the first time I can remember, one of my cpu teammates recovered a ball after I entered the "stumble and lose the dribble" animation). Overall, it seems less herky-jerky and the animation flows better, much like after the edits left4dead and playmakers suggested. And, as you can see, if you attack the basket you get the calls!

The biggest issue I saw was with the rotations, both for the player with auto-subs and the cpu. It seemed to me that Wallace was getting more playing time than he did pre-patch; when I looked after the game he had 30 minutes v. Perkins' 13. I can't empirically say that it wasn't the case before, but in my mind it was closer to even between the two. For the Knicks, Gallinari got 13 minutes and Harrington 25; Darko got 15, Hill got 12 and "Landy" got 13. I'm guessing this is roster not gameplay related, but it would be nice to see the playing time somewhat close to reality.

Also, it doesn't look like anything was done about the wonky hair geometry that plagues some of the white players on the PS3; wasn't listed as a fix, but hopefully either the second patch or a roster update can correct the problem.

Great impressions Ehh...that'sa hell of a good post above

Side note: Just so that we get this out of the road...ALL of the 360 bugs and glitches ARE in the PS3 version.

Freezing...O/T...all of them.

I've had that confirmed directly from the EA team.

So...there's no point anyone going on about them here. They are all there.

And they will be patched.

So, there's no need for anyone to get too angry or stressed now as we know they are fixing it.

[ehh]

Yup, the demo>beta>retail is a good comparison. The game finally feels complete outside of the things being addressed in Patch 2.

My only real complaints gameplay-wise right now vs the CPU are players stepping out of bounds a little too often CPU taking a few too many quick shots. I'll be very happy with this game once the OT glitch is fixed.
