oh ok...i haven't heard people talking about getting it early at all but i'm deff trying to, if it plays anything like live i'm hooked

At first, I wasn't a fan of the demo, but the more time I spend with it, the more I'm liking the game. It will probably be similar to Live in that there are going to be things (turnovers, contact animations) that are going to annoy you pre-patch, but once the patch is out, we should be golden.

I'm tryin' man, but nothing is panning out. If the game isn't street dated, then I'm SOL.

There's a chance my spot will have it today. I hope so cuz its my half day at work!

Based on some heavy demo playtime, Im coming to the conclusion that not only is the game very 'lite' on player distinctions and animations, but its gameplay engine is still very scripted feeling and shallow. There's just not that many variables that seem to be at play to determine the gameplay's output. Ball Physics and rebounding seems to be too over dependent on branching to it's limited pool of motion captured sequences rather than being a more physics based organic game.

It became so apparent after I popped in CH2K8 and was immediately immersed in a more diversified and dynamic game with a more abundant and more pleasing variation of player models that really looked like kids from all over the country and even a few that looked like they came from overseas.....I think Im in love all over again with a game thats over 2 years old.

Hopefully EA can get their act together when enough people provide useful feedback

Centers move like they are PGs! Slow it down a little bit EA and things would look alright. Also Block animations are garbage. EA did a great job getting two different announce teams and two different broadcast styles, but please put some work in on the game play. Nolan Smith gets up court in like a half a second not even Devin Harris can do that. Probably the closest EA has been to a legit sports title in years but still looks like a fail.........prob still get my 60 though so I guess I fail too.

I am not, a big xbox live guy, I used a trial account and was downloading the demo when my daughter turned off my system do I have to start over or will my system automatacly restart my download? The girls are watching Mickey Mouse right now so I can't check.

It will automatically restart when you turn the 360 back on.
