Things look promising (from this article).

I am not going to speculate or hate on this game without seeing something substantial first. Right now this game on paper seems like it is going to be great. We need to see it in action first.

I'm not going to put anything into those screen shots because obviously they're early but it does sound interesting/different. One of the things that I liked was that the ball is "loose". I always feel like the ball already has a predetermined destination before you shoot, pass, rebound, etc., but it was a little better in Live 10. I just hope they can better differentiate the players from shooting, passing, dribbling, etc. Hopefully defense can be 20x better also. I just want to see good basketball on both ends of the court.

great, in-depth article. I have faith in EA.

I have full faith in anything Dave Littman puts his hands to.

Glad they cleared up the shooting controls and how that works. Sounds good.

I'm really interested to see this game in motion.

I hope this unfolds like I think it's going to... because it's gonna be perfect.

EA needs to start paying me cuz I've been asking for this for some time.

As long as they don't dumb it down and because people can't make shots, it'll be fine.

If you can read this and not get hype then you aren't really grasping it:

" The shot is based on real life. You move the right stick up to start your shot and release it to release the ball. You have control of the accuracy and the distance. If you move the RS perfectly up to 12:00, your shot will go straight. If you miss left, the ball will go left. Miss it right, and the ball will go right. When you release the ball will control the distance. Release early, and the shot will be short. Release late, and the shot will be long. The system is so realistic that you can do manual bank shots by purposely aiming left or right and a bit long. "

I'm a die-hard NBA fan but I've also played every soccer game ever made. There's something very familiar about this new aproach from EA.

The FIFA series used to be seen as a bad joke among hardcore players, which prefered the much more realistic Winning Eleven series (now PES). Just like today's perception around NBA Live and NBA 2K.

But since EA Canada decided that the ball needed to become a free "entity" in FIFA, the game became the beast that it is known for nowadays. Sure, this vision started with FIFA 08, and it only became fully realized this year. And now PES, after resting on its laurels for so long, is the series trying to catch up.

I wouldn't be surprised to see history repeating itself here, although I must admit that NBA 2K11 left me much more hyped up after MJ's news.
