They said this game was all about polish so why would there be a big leap.

I think to the untrained eye...you cant tell much difference...but for those that dont see the differences...to me..u can easily see that:

1...the locomotion looks alot better...when players move out to a open area..they automatically catch the ball facing the basket in a "shoot-ready" position...this may seem small but this is a big help on offense.

2...the new step back moves they've added seem to actually have some usefulness compared to prior games...they look to creat ALOT of space and are pretty quick and slick...not so much predictable and easy to guard.

3...blocks seem to be less "canned"...which SHOULD mean better post defense and less wild offensive moves in the post that's are always successful.

4...LANE STEALS looks wayyyy more effective and easier...which means..people wont be making crazy passes and being successful...this will balance everything out alot more..another feature that looks small on paper but will be BIG for this game.

5...it seems...there i say..SEEMS like you can finally do quick pull up jumpers without the slowwwwww gather...

6...i've seen in a few videos a crossover while on the move that looks very effective..its hard to tell if its all user controlled..but if it is...seems like dribble moves will be more effective that more manual...not some automatic successful move.

7..im seeing more contact on drives...which SHOULD promote more midrange game...and less slashing to the paint all game....last years game was basically all inside game and 3 point game...u really didnt have to shoot midrange jumpers at all....this is one of the biggest gripes of these basketball games..im hoping we HAVE to use alot of midrange game this time around...because the inside game was just waaaay to easy.

this game looks like 2k10???... what exactly is it suppose to look like???? of course its gonna look similar to 2k10. 2k10 wasnt bad was it? this is gonna be the best bball game this year

Idk, I was saying it looked like 2k10 from screens, but the players look better in these videos than 2k10 imo. Doesn't look like 2k10 much to me anymore.

Very nice so far.

My only concern at this time is the footwork. I see less skating and one-foot spinning, but the foot/floor interaction could use some work. I'd like the players to look more grounded.

i know, that is driving me crazy, and it doesnt help that the camera isnt zoomed in

Man the gamers were frustrating to watch. What the heck is Brendan Haywood doing dribbling out on the perimeter?

Game looking nice though.
