At the end of the day we all want and are invested in great basketball gaming.

Mmm-hmm

Absolutely comical to say wait for something final...Time to close the forum until September!

Get a grip guys, nobody would post here if we didn't want the game to be good(notice the small amount that do post here?). Stop being so damn defensive(and smug for a few of you). If the game impresses come demo time, everyone wins.

Talk about tiring.

Totally hear you regarding everyone wanting the game to be good. That's what EVERYONE wants the game to be. What you guys are seeing is a game that is VERY early in development. This is the earliest that we have EVER shown gameplay footage of an NBA game. The video is a representation of what vision the development team has for the game. There is A LOT of stuff that has yet to be implemented into the game and there are a lot of issue that have to be fixed but the important thing for you guys to know is that the development team is working hard to deliver a genuine NBA game.

With the video you all saw there are no signature animations implemented and everyone has the same attributes. No one has been personalized in the game yet which is why you are seeing guys like Brandon Jennings shooting with his right hand and performing 360 dunks (although when Jennings was in high school the man was a MEAN dunker). I'm sure some of you are wondering, "Then why would you show Brandon Jennings shooting when you can show someone else?" There is a reason for it but unfortunately I can't go into that (legal reasons).

There is a lot of time for the game to shape up and we will be showing you guys more of the game in the months ahead. There is a lot of time left guys and you will see what we have to show you for this year's game that differentiates itself from our past offerings.

Good to hear, and I'm guessing Brandon Jennings is the Cover boy

I'm just wondering why footage was even shown when the meats and potatoes of the game are still very incomplete(or like you said, not even shown in this video) and show very minimal differences compared to last year. What else were we supposed to comment on when the control hasn't been put in our hands, ya know?

Don't take that above comment as a slight towards you...Its not. But it's just a weird way to show off the game...A defense video with same attributes? Just odd.
